Abstract

The transformersome is a new kind of lipoid drug delivery carrier. It has a number of excellent properties, including deformability, pressure permeability, and amphiphilicity. It has been widely used in the field of percutaneous and oral administration of medication. However, due to factors concerning its formulation, the stability and effectiveness of intravenous injection and other systemic routes of administration of transfersomes should be carefully examined. As an alternative, the formulation can be enhanced or improved in order to better exploit the strengths and avoid the weaknesses. Because of its deformability, transfersome may have distinctive potential strengths in the penetration of physiological barriers, for example, the blood-brain barrier, and in the research and development of transdermal immunization vaccines. This review has summarized five aspects of transfersomes, including the main properties, the formulation and process influencing factors, evaluation methods, main administration routes, and problems. Herein, we have given some examples and analysis, summarized the research achievements and assessd prospects for future development.
