Abstract

Liposomes have gained attention as a promising drug delivery system, which come with the advantages of biocompatibility, ability to load hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs, and they can function for targeted drug delivery. In this regard, this paper offers a comprehensive overview on novel liposomes, including classification, formulation strategies, detailed structures, and current pharmaceutical applications. Recent advances in liposomal drug delivery systems includes, new liposomal architectures (i.e. stealth, targeted, stimuli-responsive, hybrid liposomes) have further emerged to tackle various drug delivery issues in human therapy. These new liposomes improved pharmacokinetics, extended circulation times, and allowed targeted and controlled drug release. The study also investigates advanced formulations approaches including the incorporation of nanotechnology to enhance liposomal characteristics. This new generation of novel liposomes offers exciting new technologies but has varying challenges around scaling, reproducibility, and regulatory compliance. This paper aims to provide a holistic view of current practices and future prospects in the field, contributing valuable insights for both academic and industrial researchers.

Keywords: Liposomes, drug delivery systems, nanotechnology, formulation approaches, pharmaceutical applications
