Novel Drug

Backgraound: Novel drug delivery systems have always been of immense interest for research. Majority of the drugs suffers from solubity related constraints. Lipid based drug delivery systems provide a promising approach to address this issue.Amogst various approaches, liquid crystalline systems offers distinct advantages over other available options. It maintains the phase stablility between solid and liquid phases. Backgraound: :Novel drug delivery systems have always been of immense interest for research. Majority of the drugs suffers from solubity related constraints. Lipid based drug delivery systems provide a promising approach to address this issue.Amogst various approaches, liquid crystalline systems offers distinct advantages over other available options. It maintains the phase stablility between solid and liquid phases. Objective: Lyotropic Liquid Crystals (LLCs) have highly ordered internal structure forming capabilities thereby assisting the controlled release of a therapeutic agent of varying sizes and polarities. Methods: The present article covers the structural features of dispersed mesophases (cubosomes and hexosomes), components used to prepare various mesophases, method of preparation, characterization techniques and potential applications. Results: LLCsoffers a distinct choice for delivering hydrophobic as well as hydrophilic drug. They are also suitable for the delivery of macromolecules such as peptide and protiens through various routes of administration.Lyotropic liquid crystals are extremely versatile drug delivery systems that can be used for delivering drugs across topical, oral, buccal, pulmonary and intravenous routes. Their use in the delivery of tough to deliver drugs, hormones, peptides, biomolecules and vaccines is particularly important. Conclusion: This review discussed the composition, methods of preparation and characterization of LLCs. The LLCs offer promsing delivery choice for the drugs with lower solubility and higher toxicity.

Benzosiloles and their π-extended derivatives are present in many important advanced materials due to their excellent physical properties. Especially, they have found many potential applications in the development of novel electronic materials such as OLEDs, semiconductors and solar cells. In this review, we have summarized several main approaches to construct (di)benzosilole derivatives and (benzo)siloles fused to aromatic five- and six-membered heterocycles.
