Light Sensitive Liposomes : A Novel Strategy for Targeted Drug Delivery

Copyright© Bentham Science Publishers; For any queries, please email at epubbenthamscience.net..

Light-sensitive liposomes have emerged as a promising platform for drug delivery, offering the potential for precise control over drug release and targeted therapy. These lipid-based nanoparticles possess photoresponsive properties, allowing them to undergo structural changes or release therapeutic payloads upon exposure to specific wavelengths of light. This review presents an overview of the design principles, fabrication methods, and applications of light-sensitive liposomes in drug delivery. Further, this article also discusses the incorporation of light-sensitive moieties, such as azobenzene, spiropyran, and diarylethene, into liposomal structures, enabling spatiotemporal control over drug release. The utilization of photosensitizers and imaging agents to enhance the functionality and versatility of light-sensitive liposomes is also highlighted. Finally, the recent advances, challenges, and future directions in the field, emphasizing the potential for these innovative nanocarriers to revolutionize targeted therapeutics, are also discussed.
