Abstract

1-O-alkylglycerols (ALKGs) have exhibited several biological activities and a prominent effect on blood-brain barrier permeability. They have markedly improved brain uptake of cancerostatic agents. Since ALKG are amphiphilic, we explored their tendency to assemble into bilayer vesicles, which can be applied as carriers for drugs. Vesicles (Algosomes) were formed by film hydration method. A novel or vesicular drug delivery system is that delivers drug at predetermined rate decided as per the requirement, pharmacological aspects, drug profile, physiological conditions of body, etc. In current conditions not a single, novel drug delivery system behaves ideally those high goals with fewer side effects.
