CUBOSOMES: A REVIEW ON THEIR DESIGN, FUNCTION & APPLICATIONS IN DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEMS

Bhavin D. Pandya* and Hinal K. Rana

ABSTRACT

The effect of nanotechnology on the exponential development of a few investigate ranges, especially nanomedicine, is undeniable. One of the nanocarriers created which has drawn researchers’ consideration are cubosomes. Cubosomes are nanoparticles but instep of the strong particles, cubosomes are self-assembled fluid crystalline particles of certain surfactant with legitimate proportion of water with a microstructure that gives special properties of viable intrigued. The disclosure of cubosomes is a one of a kind story and ranges the field of nourishment science, differential geometry, natural films and stomach related forms. One of the most common surfactants utilized to make cubosomes is the monoglyceride glycerol monoolein. Bicontinuous cubic fluid crystalline stage is an optically clear, exceptionally gooey fabric that has a one of a kind structure at the nano meter scale. The word bicontinuous alludes to the division of the two ceaseless but non-intersecting watery locales by a lipid bilayer that is bound into a space-filling structure. Hydrating a surfactant or polar lipid that shapes cubic stage and at that point scattering the solid-like stage into littler particles more often than not frame Cubosomes. They are broadly utilized for different sedate conveyance applications such as verbal, visual, transdermal and chemotherapy medicate conveyance. In this audit, the germane writing of cubosomes with accentuation on speculations of self-assembling, the composition of cubosomes, strategies of preparation, approaches for typifying material, interaction of natural fabric with cubosomes, characterization of cubosomes and medicate conveyance applications will be basically surveyed.

Keywords: Cubosomes, Nanotechnology, Drug Delivery Systems, Design, Preparation, Applications.
