Abstract
Vesicular drug delivery system has various advantages thereby improving therapeutic efficacy and by
sustaining and controlling action of drugs. Liposomes, sphingosomes, ethosomes, cubosomes, pharmacasomes,
niosomes, transferosomes are the newly developed vesicular drug delivery system. This review article mainly deals
with the sphingosomal drug delivery system. Sphingosomes are vesicular drug delivery systems in which an aqueous
volume is enclosed with sphingolipid bilayer membranes. Sphingosomes has an enhanced area of interest because of
their applicability in improving the in vivo delivery of various chemotherapeutic agents, biological macromolecules
and diagnostics. Sphingosome has major advantages over other vesicular drug delivery systems like high stability,
more in vivo circulation time, high tumor loading efficacy in case of cancer therapy as compared to liposomes,
niosomes etc. Sphingosomes are clinically used vesicular delivery system for chemotherapeutic agent, biological
macromolecule and diagnostics. This review concluded that sphingosome represents a promising vesicular drug
delivery system for a range of possible therapeutic applications.
