| Abstract | Niosomes are lamellar non-ionic surfactant vesicles obtained from hydration of synthetic nonionic surfactants,with or without incorporation of cholesterol. Niosomes were first reported in the cosmetic industries. Recently, these vesicular systems can be used as carriers of hydrophillic and lipophilic drugs as liposomes. Niosomes exhibit more chemically stable than liposomes, in which the phospholipid degradation generally occurs. Niosomes are promising vehicle and serve as an alternative drug delivery system. They are less toxic and improve the therapeutic index of drug by restricting its action to target cells. This review article presents an overview of theoretical concept of factors affecting niosome formation, techniques of niosome preparation, evaluation of niosome characterization andpharmaceutical applications of niosome. |
