Abstract
Background:
In dermatology, the topical application of liposomes has proven to be of
therapeutic value. Many drugs encapsulated into liposomes have shown enhanced skin penetration.
Methods:
Liposomes are lipid based spherical vesicles. In structure and composition, they resemble
cell membrane. Because of their amphipathic nature, they can be used as carriers for hydrophilic as
well as lipophilic therapeutic agents. These liposomal systems can easily get integrated with the
skin lipids and maintain the desired hydration conditions to improve drug penetration and localization
in the skin layers.
Results:
Considering the need for topical delivery and the promising potential of liposomes, an attempt
has been made to explore the recent advances of liposome-based formulations in dermatological
applications.
Conclusion:
This patent summarizes the recent findings of liposome-based formulations for dermal
delivery of drugs.
