3. WHAT ARE
LIPOSOMES?
Liposomes are spherical vesicles
composed of phospholipid
bilayers with an aqueous core.
The hydrophilic heads of the
lipid bilayer face the aqueous
core while the hydrophilic tails
towards the inner and outer
layers of membrane.
6. APPLICATIONS
TARGETED DRUG DELIVERY
Liposomes can be designed to specifically target certain cells or tissues, allowing for the delivery of
drugs directly to the desired location. This targeted approach minimizes side effects and increases the
effectiveness of the treatment.
SUSTAINED RELEASE
Liposomes can be engineered to release drugs slowly and continuously over an extended period of
time. This sustained release mechanism ensures a consistent therapeutic effect and reduces the
frequency of drug administration.
IMPROVING DRUG SOLUBILITY
Liposomes can encapsulate hydrophobic drugs, improving their solubility in water-based solutions.
This enhanced solubility allows for easier administration and better absorption of the drug in the body.

8. LIPOSOME DRUG DELIVERY
Liposomes are spherical vesicles composed of a lipid bilayer that can
encapsulate drugs and deliver them to specific targets in the body.
Liposome drug delivery offers several advantages over traditional drug
delivery methods including targeted drug delivery and sustained release
