Abstract:
Development of nanocarriers has opened new avenues for the delivery of therapeutics of various pharmacological activities with improved targeting properties and reduced side effects. Niosomes, non-ionic-based vesicles, have drawn much interest in various biomedical applications, owing to their unique characteristics and their ability to encapsulate both hydrophilic and lipophilic cargoes. Niosomes share structural similarity with liposomes while overcoming limitations associated with stability, sterilization, and large-scale production of liposomes. Different methods for preparation of niosomes have been described in the literature, each having its own merits and a great impact on the sizes and characteristics of the formed niosomes. In this article, procedures involved in the thin-film hydration method, a commonly used method for the preparation of niosomes, are described in detail, while highlighting precautions that should be considered for consistent and reproducible construction of niosomes.
