INTRODUCTION
Liposomes are the simple microscopic vesicles in which
aqueous layer is enclosed by phospho lipid bilayers that
are used to transfer vaccines ,drugs ,enzymes and other
substances to targetcells or organs

COMPOSITION
Phospholipids:
Dilauryl phosphotidyl choline (DLPC), Dimyristoyl phosphotidyl choline
(DMPC), Dipalmitoy phosphotidyl choline (DPPC), Distearoyl
phosphotidyl choline (DSPC), Dioleolyl phosphotidyl choline (DOPC),
Dilauryl phosphotidyl glycerol (DLPG), Distearoyl phosphotidyl serine
(DSPS).
Cholesterol:
Act as intercalator with phospholipids molecules.
Restrict the confirmational changes of lipids.
Membrane stabilizer.

ADVANTAGES
Non-toxic.
Biodegradable.
Non-immunogenic.
Lowers systemic toxicity.
Targeted delivery.
Protection of sensitive drug molecules.
Enhance drug solubilisation ( Amphoterecin,
Cyclosporins).
Improved pharmacokinetic effects.
