Glycerosome

Glycerosomes represent a class of lipid-based nanocarriers that can be exploited as a powerful drug delivery system to effectively target specific cells or tissues within the human body. Glycerosomes are constituted of a phospholipid bilayer that enwraps an aqueous core in which glycerol assumes a key functional role. What distinguishes glycerosomes from other drug delivery systems is their high biocompatibility and stability, and the exceptional ability to encapsulate both hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs. Moreover, glycerosomes' sub-micron size affords them easy penetration of biological barriers, culminating in the precise delivery of drugs to targeted sites with greater therapeutic efficiency. In view of these advantages, glycerosomes are poised to transform the landscape of various therapeutic interventions.

Applications of Drug Delivery Using Glycerosome

• Topical drug delivery for skin diseases. Glycerosomes can transport drugs across the skin barrier and deliver them to deeper skin layers, making them a potential candidate for treating skin diseases such as psoriasis, acne, and eczema.
• Oral drug delivery. Glycerosomes can be used to protect drugs from degradation in the gastrointestinal tract and enhance their absorption, making them a potential candidate for oral drug delivery.
• Targeted drug delivery. Glycerosomes can be modified to target specific cells or tissues by functionalizing their surface with ligands or antibodies, making them a potential candidate for targeted drug delivery.

Advantages of Drug Delivery Using Glycerosome

• Glycerosomes can transport drugs into and through the skin, allowing for targeted and efficient delivery.
• The composition of glycerosomes can be modified to optimize their properties, such as particle size and drug entrapment.
• Glycerosomes containing lipophilic drugs have a higher flux, which can lead to improved therapeutic effects.
• Glycerosomes can be used to treat deep fungal infections, where conventional liposomes are often not effective due to their poor ability to penetrate the skin's barrier.
• Glycerol, a component of glycerosomes, can modify the skin's barrier properties, enhancing drug permeation.
• Glycerosomes can reduce inflammation, as demonstrated in a study using rats with skin inflammation.
• Glycerosomes can be used for sustained drug release, allowing for a longer-lasting therapeutic effect.
