A Review on Transfersomal Drug Delivery System

Abstract

Transferosomes is a carrying body for targeted transdermic drug delivery system.Tranfersomes and also the elementary idea of transfersomes were launched by Gregor Cevc within the year 1991. It exists as associate ultra-deformable complex having a hydrous core enclosed by a fancy layer of macromolecule. It penetrate the corneum by either intracellular route or the transcellular route by the generation of “osmotic gradient”.The carrier combination consists of a minimum of one amphipathic molecule (like phospholipids) that once value-added to binary compound systems self-assemble into a bilayer of lipid which eventually closes into a lipid sac and one bilayer softening agent which is generally a wetting agent that is chargeable for the flexibleness of the vesicle. The transfersomes were developed by the traditional rotary evaporation sonication method. analysis parameters of transferosome are as vesicle size distribution and zeta potential, sac morphology, No. of vesicles per isometric mm, entrapment potency, Drug content, turbidness measurement, Degree of deformability or porosity measurement, Penetration ability, Occlusion effect, Surface charge and charge density, In-vitro drug release, in-vitro Skin permeation Studies, Physical stability. Transfersomes offer the first advantage of upper entrapment efficiency along side a depot formation which releases the contents slowly. Transfersomes are often used for delivery of insulin, corticosteroids, proteins and peptides, interferons, anti-cancer medication, anaesthetics, NSAIDs and flavoring drugs
