Abstract

Niosomes represent a promising medicine delivery module. The vesicle is composed of a bilayer of non-ionic surface active agents and hence the name niosomes. Niosomes are a new medicine delivery system, in which the drug is reprised in a vesicle. They present a structure analogous to liposome and hence they can represent indispensable vesicular systems with respect to liposomes. Structurally, noisome are analogous to liposomes, in that they're also made up of a bilayer. Still, the bilayer in the case of niosomes is made up of non-ionic face active agents rather than phospholipids as seen in the case of liposomes. Niosomes may be unilamellaror multilamellar depending on the system used to prepare them. Niosomes present a structure analogous to liposome and hence they can represent indispensable vesicular systems with respect to liposomes.
