What are the challenges of liposomes?
Posted October 2, 2024

Answer

Challenges of liposomes include:

  • Liposomes can be unstable, resulting in a short shelf life. 
  • Some drugs can leak out of the liposome before it reaches the intended target. 
  • Achieving consistent drug loading efficiency can be difficult, which can skew the results. 
  • Production of liposomes is complex and expensive, involving intricate procedures and specialized equipment. 
  • Liposomes can be rapidly taken up and cleared by the reticuloendothelial system (RES), especially if not designed to avoid detection.
