APO RESEARCH · REPORT
Liposome Drug Delivery
Liposomes have been used to improve the therapeutic index of new or established drugs by modifying drug absorption, reducing metabolism, prolonging biological half-life or reducing toxicity. Drug distribution is then controlled primarily by properties of the carrier and no longer by physico-chemical characteristics of the drug substance only. In a liposome drug product, the drug substance is contained in liposomes. Typically, water soluble drugs are contained in the aqueous compartment(s) and hydrophobic drugs are contained in the lipid layer(s) of the liposomes. Release of drugs from liposome formulations can be modified by the presence of polyethylene glycol and/or cholesterol or other potential additives in the liposome.
