Abstract

Cubosomes, also known as bicontinuous cubic phase liquid crystals, are nanoparticles with a specific ratio of amphiphilic lipids as their major constituents. Cubosomes are typically created by hydrating a surfactant or polar lipid that produces a cubic phase and then dispersing it into smaller particles. They operate with solids similar to rheology peculiarities of practical use. They have carvenous (honeycomb) structures that are tightly packed and twisted into three-dimensional bilayers, and they are thermodynamically stable. They can load more drugs because of this type of sophisticated structure. Cubosomes are capable of encapsulating hydrophobic, hydrophilic, and amphiphilic materials. Cubosomes can make drugs that aren’t very soluble more soluble. Biocompatible and bioadhesive cubosomes dispersions are available. Due to their characteristics, cubosomes are adaptable systems that can be managed by several ways, including parenterally, percutaneously, and orally. Few researchers have looked into the possibility of cubosomes as delivery methods despite the fact that cubosomes structure has been studied using electron microscopy, light scattering, x-ray, and NMR.
