Transferosomes: Advanced nanocarriers for enhanced drug delivery

Abstract

Transferosomes represent a groundbreaking advancement in drug delivery systems, characterized by their unique ability to encapsulate a diverse range of drugs, including hydrophilic, lipophilic, and amphiphilic compounds. These vesicles offer benefits such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, enhanced drug stability, improved absorption, extended duration of action, and reduced toxicity. This review critically examines recent advancements in transferosome technology, focusing on innovative formulation strategies and their therapeutic applications, such as enhanced drug delivery, vaccines, transdermal and ocular applications, among others. By synthesizing insights from current literature, this article aims to provide valuable guidance for researchers, clinicians, and pharmaceutical developers seeking to harness the full potential of transferosome-based therapies for improved medical outcomes.
