This volume describes the protocols for fabrication of liposomal drug delivery system and
consists of two parts. The first part emphasizes the basic protocols and concepts for
fabrication of drug-loaded liposomes. For new investigators laying the groundwork is the first
step. This part focuses on the fabrication details in liposomes formulations which are the
so-called small tricks while usually not disclosed in mostly published research articles.
However these processing details are crucial for the preparation of liposomes. And the second
part focuses on the strategies in modified and or functionalized liposomes to adapt to
pathophysiological environment as well as their application in treating diseases. As new
analytical and synthetic technologies become available and improved understanding of
pathophysiology various functionalized drug liposomes are developing to fit the requirements
of different therapeutic purposes exhibiting a broad range of applications. Accordingly the
objectives of this part are aimed at deeply unearthing the formulation of drug-loaded liposomes
describing the detailed operation of liposomal formulation and further demonstrating their
potential applications. Therefore this volume shows the features of experimental report or
protocol for proving a guide to scientists research students and young investigators in
pharmaceutical enterprises.
