Abstract:
Niosomes are novel, self-assembled vesicular carriers that deliver both lipophilic and hydrophilic drugs at the specific site in a targeted way, enhancing bioavailability and extending therapeutic effects. Niosomes are a versatile drug delivery system with a diverse range of applications from gene to brain-targeted delivery and they are more attractive choices than liposomes as they are efficient at biodegrading. Niosome offers several advantages over conventional drug delivery systems, including enhanced stability, and also have gained a lot of focus in natural product delivery in recent years. This review provides a comprehensive view of niosomal research and recent advancements, including classification and fabrication methods, and their role in drug delivery and targeting. The description of the rise in niosomal formulation patents around the world is also elaborated along with the natural product delivery of niosomes which has recently gained significance. Patents on novel preparation, loading, and modification techniques have enhanced the importance of niosome in the pharmaceutical industry.
