ABSTRACT
Over decades analysts are endeavoring to utilize
the medications in an effective way to treat different infectious disease. The
productive use can be clarified as diminished portion, decreased symptoms, and
decreased dose recurrence, more prominent patient consistence and most extreme
centralization of the medication at the site of activity in order to lessen the
undue presentation to the whole body. A niosome is a non-ionic surfactant-based
liposome. Niosomes are formed mostly by incorporation of cholesterol as an
excipient. The surfactant molecule arrange themselves in such a way that
hydrophilic head in outward direction and hydrophobic tail faced towards each
other to form the micelles. Niosomes are one of the best carrier system for
drug targeting. Niosomes are biodegradable, nontoxic, more stable than
liposomes and inexpensive, an alternative to liposomes. This article focus on introduction
of niosomes, composition of niosomes, difference between niosome and liposome, different
method of preparation, characterisation of niosome and application of niosome.
