For a long time, BOC Sciences’ focus has been put on the drug development. Our extensive experience has made us experts in the design and manufacture of liposome drugs.

Liposomes are nano-drug delivery systems that have been successfully transformed into real-time clinical applications. These bilayer phospholipid vesicles have witnessed many technological advances in recent years. The therapeutic agents encapsulated inside liposomes change their biodistribution characteristics, thereby further improving the therapeutic index of various drugs. Extensive research is being performed in these areas using liposomes as drug delivery systems, including the delivery of anticancer, antifungal, anti-inflammatory drugs, and therapeutic genes.

Benefits of Drug Load in Liposomes

  • Protection - Liposomes protect drugs from degradation. In vivo, liposomes can extend the biological half-life.
  • Improved solubility of lipophilic and amphiphilic drugs.
  • Liposomes can localize, target and specifically interact with the affected tissue.
  • Liposomes constitute a reservoir of drugs, which can continuously release the drugs and reduce the side effects caused by the frequency of use.
  • Minimal toxicity - Liposomal preparations are used in cancer treatment to reduce the toxic side effects of drugs.
