The necessity to develop more efficient, biocompatible, patient compliance, and safer treatments in biomedical settings is receiving special attention using nanotechnology as a potential platform to design new drug delivery systems (DDS). Despite the broad range of nanocarrier systems in drug delivery, lack of biocompatibility, poor penetration, low entrapment efficiency, and toxicity are significant challenges that remain to address. Such practices are even more demanding when bioactive agents are intended to be loaded on a nanocarrier system, especially for topical treatment purposes. For the aforesaid reasons, the search for more efficient nano-vesicular systems, such as nanoliposomes, with a high biocompatibility index and controlled releases has increased considerably in the past few decades. Owing to the stratum corneum layer barrier of the skin, the in-practice conventional/conformist drug delivery methods are inefficient, and the effect of the administered therapeutic cues is limited. The current advancement at the nanoscale has transformed the drug delivery sector. Nanoliposomes, as robust nanocarriers, are becoming popular for biomedical applications because of safety, patient compliance, and quick action. Herein, we reviewed state-of-the-art nanoliposomes as a smart and sophisticated drug delivery approach. Following a brief introduction, the drug delivery mechanism of nanoliposomes is discussed with suitable examples for the treatment of numerous diseases with a brief emphasis on fungal infections. The latter half of the work is focused on the applied perspective and clinical translation of nanoliposomes. Furthermore, a detailed overview of clinical applications and future perspectives has been included in this review.
在生物医学环境中开发更高效、生物相容性好、患者依从性高且更安全的治疗方法的必要性正受到特别关注,人们将纳米技术作为设计新型药物递送系统(DDS)的潜在平台。尽管药物递送中有广泛的纳米载体系统,但缺乏生物相容性、穿透性差、包封率低和毒性是仍有待解决的重大挑战。当生物活性剂打算负载在纳米载体系统上时,尤其是用于局部治疗目的时,这些问题就更加突出。由于上述原因,在过去几十年中,对具有高生物相容性指数和控释功能的更高效纳米囊泡系统(如纳米脂质体)的研究显著增加。由于皮肤角质层屏障的存在,传统的药物递送方法在实际应用中效率低下,所施用治疗药物的效果有限。目前纳米尺度的进展已经改变了药物递送领域。纳米脂质体作为强大的纳米载体,因其安全性、患者依从性和快速起效而在生物医学应用中越来越受欢迎。在此,我们综述了作为一种智能且精密的药物递送方法的最新纳米脂质体。在简要介绍之后,结合治疗多种疾病(重点简要介绍真菌感染)的合适示例讨论了纳米脂质体的药物递送机制。本文工作的后半部分重点关注纳米脂质体的应用前景和临床转化。此外,本综述还包括了临床应用的详细概述和未来展望。
