Abstract

Cubosomes are the biocompatible novel approach for the drug delivery system. The controlled release application of these nanoparticles is of a great significance in cosmeceutical and pharmaceutical fields. Low cost of the raw materials, versalality and the potential for controlled release through functionalization make them an attractive vehicle for several in vivo drug delivery routes. Precursor forms of cubosomes are among the modification possible to overcome its difficulty in loading of drugs.
