Closed vesicles consisting of lipid bilayers, liposomes hve drawn attention as potential carriers of drugs for chemotherapy. They offer useful properties as drug carriers because their lipid composition, particle diamter, and surface charge are readily adjusted. Their surfaces can be modified with anti-tumor peptides and antigens, making it easy to target specific substances. Thus, evaluations of physical properties (measurements of particle diameter, surface potential, and so on) are critical to understanding the pharmacokinetics of liposomes.
