Abstract

Niosomes are vesicles composed of non-ionic surfactants, which are biodegradable, relatively nontoxic, more stable and
inexpensive, an alternative to liposomes. They present a structure similar to liposome and hence they can represent
alternative vesicular systems with respect to liposomes. The niosome ability to encapsulate different type of drugs within
their multi environmental structure. Niosomes have been developed as an alternative to phospholipids based liposomes. The
technology utilized in niosomes is still greatly in its infancy, and already it is showing promise in the fields of cancer and
infectious disease treatments. Niosomes can also be utilized for targeting drugs to organs other than the RES. They are
based on several families of synthetic non ionic amphiphilic molecule. This review article focuses on the structure of
niosome, advantages of niosomes, methods of preparation, characterization of nisosomes, application of niosomes.
