Preparation and Characterization of Ethosomal Gel Drug Delivery; A Comprehensive Review

Abstract

Ethosomes are aqueous, phospholipid, and ethanol (in larger amounts) soft vesicles. Because it can penetrate human skin intact and has a high degree of deformability, this carrier has intriguing properties. Ethosomes have been demonstrated to improve medication delivery to the outer layers of the skin by penetrating the stratum corneum barrier more effectively than traditional liposomes. Ethosomal systems have been the subject of on-going study, which suggests that these carriers, in conjunction with penetration enhancers, may prove to be successful drug delivery vehicles in the form of gels, patches, and creams. However, more thorough research is required to advance the ethosomal system's stability. The goal of this review is to preparation and characterization of ethosomal gel drug delivery.  

Key words: Ethosomes, Liposomes, Phospholipid etc.
