Liposome is a new nanostructure for the encapsulation and delivery of bioactive agents. It consists of lipid bilayers that are amphiphilic carriers for targeted drug delivery. There are a lot of bioactive materials that could be incorporated into liposomes including cosmetics, food ingredients, and pharmaceuticals. Liposomes possess particular properties such as excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability, highly efficient drug encapsulation, sustained release, long shelf-life and low toxicity. The development of nanoliposome technology offers thrilling chances for pharmaceutical technologists in fields including encapsulation and controlled release of therapeutic ingredients, also improved bioavailability and stability of sensitive materials. Among numerous brilliant new drug and gene delivery systems, liposomes provide an advanced technology to carry active molecules to the specific site of action, and various formulations are in clinical use nowadays.
Liposomes could be prepared using different approaches depending on the type of liposomes such as muitilamellar vesicles (MLV), small unilamellar vesicles (SUV) and large unilamellar vesicles (LUV). Accompanied by their nanosize, which makes them promising in nanomedicine applications. At Creative BioMart, versatile properties of liposomes are manipulated by modifying liposome formulations to address different drug delivery considerations in treatment of cancer, antibacterial, antifungal, immunomodulation, diagnostics, etc. Our professional liposome service includes:
