Liposome is a spherical sac phospholipid molecule. It encloses a water droplet especially as form artificially to carry drug into tissue membrane. It is spherical sac vesicle it consists at least one lipid bilayer. Liposomes are mainly development for drug delivery size and size distribution. The process of sonication (extrusion) is required to obtain small size and narrow size distribution of liposome. The main significant role in formulating of potent drug, improve therapeutic effect. Liposome formulation is mainly design in increasing accumulation at the target site, and then resulting effect is targeted to reduce toxicity. There is various method for liposome formulation depending upon lipid drug interaction liposome disposition mechanism- parameters particle size, charge and surface hydration. Liposome is a nanoparticle (size-100nm). Nanoscale drug delivery system using liposome as well as nanoparticle. This technology is for "Rational delivery of chemotherapeutic" drug treatment of cancer. Liposome is use as to study the cell membrane and cell organelles. The advantages of liposome formation using microfluidic approach for bulk-mixing approaches are discussed. Keywords: liposome, lipid bilayer, sonication, nanoparticles, particle size, toxicity.

This study was planned to increase the intestinal permeability and thereby bioavailability of eprosartan mesylate (EPM) by designing a self-microemulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS) by the use of vegetable oils. Various SMEDDS-based formulations were prepared with oleic acid and peppermint oil. Tween 80 was used as surfactant and PEG 400 as co-surfactant. Pseudo ternary phase diagrams were constructed for identifying emulsification region between 1:1, 1:2, 2:1, 3:1 ratio of SCOS mix. Eight batches of SMEDDS were found to be thermodynamically stable and from which SMEDDSOF9 and PF5 were best formulations due to their highest drug content, minimum particle size. They have shown highest release of drug in vitro and higher in vitro drug diffusion and ex vivo permeation analysis than pure drug. FTIR study ascertained no incompatibility between drug and excipients present in formulation. From the accelerated stability study, slight effect on particle size and zeta potential, assay content along with cumulative % of drug release was found. The results demonstrated the SMEDDS of EPM are potent drug delivery system to increase dissolution rate and bioavailability of drug via increased intestinal permeability and consequently improving the therapeutic efficacy of eprosartan mesylate.

: Cubosomes are highly stable nanostructured liquid crystalline dosage delivery form derived from amphiphilic lipids and polymer-based stabilizers converting it in a form of effective biocompatible carrier for the drug delivery. The delivery form comprised of bicontinuous lipid bilayers arranged in three dimensional honeycombs like structure provided with two internal aqueous channels for incorporation of number of biologically active ingredients. In contrast liposomes they provide large surface area for incorporation of different types of ingredients. Due to the distinct advantages of biocompatibility and thermodynamic stability, cubosomes have remained the first preference as method of choice in the sustained release, controlled release and targeted release dosage forms as new drug delivery system for the better release of the drugs. As lot of advancement in the new form of dosage form has bring the novel avenues in drug delivery mechanisms so it was matter of worth to compile the latest updates on the various aspects of mentioned therapeutic delivery system including its structure, routes of applications along with the potential applications to encapsulate variety drugs to serve health related benefits.

: The Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM; grade IV astrocytoma) exhort tumor of star-shaped glial cell in the brain. It is a fast-growing tumor that spreads to nearby brain regions specifically to cerebral hemispheres in frontal and temporal lobes. The etiology of GBM is unknown, but major risk factors are genetic disorder like neurofibromatosis and schwanomatosis which develop the tumor in the nervous system. The management of GBM with chemo-radio therapy leads to resistance and current drug regimen like Temozolomide (TMZ) is less efficacious. The reasons behind failure of drugs are due to DNA alkylation in cell cycle by enzyme DNA guanidase and mitochondrial dysfunction. Naturally occurring bio-active compounds from plants known as phytochemicals, serve as vital sources for anti-cancer drugs. Some typical examples include taxol analogs, vinca alkaloids such as vincristine, vinblastine, podophyllotoxin analogs, camptothecin, curcumin, aloe emodin, quercetin, berberine e.t.c. These phytochemicals often act via regulating molecular pathways which are implicated in growth and progression of cancers. However the challenges posed by the presence of BBB/BBTB to restrict passage of these phytochemicals, culminates in their low bioavailability and relative toxicity. In this review we integrated nanotech as novel drug delivery system to deliver phytochemicals from traditional medicine to the specific site within the brain for the management of GBM.
