Explanation

According to the different layers of lipid bilayer, liposome can be divided into monolayer containing a single bilayer and multi compartment containing multiple bilayers. The basic materials is phospholipid. Phospholipids contain a polar group and two nonpolar fat chains. When self-assembly in water, they form a closed phospholipid bilayer. That is, in order to enhance its stability and regulate the flow ability of the membrane, cholesterol is usually added. In the field of drug controlled release, it can be used as a drug carrier, widely used in the delivery of anti-tumor drugs (doxorubicin, cisplatin, etc.), anti parasitic cattle worm drugs, antibacterial drugs, hormone drugs. liposome can be administered in various ways, including intravenous injection, intramuscular and subcutaneous injection, oral administration, eye drops, pulmonary administration, percutaneous administration, nasal administration, etc.
