3. INTRODUCTION
 Niosomes are one of the promising drug carriers that have a
bilayer structure and are formed by self-association of nonionic
surfactants and cholesterol in an aqueous phase.
 Niosomes are biodegradable, biocompatible, and
nonimmunogenic.
 They have long shelf life, exhibit high stability, and enable the
delivery of drug at target site in a controlled and/or sustained
manner.
 In recent years, the potential of niosomes as a drug carrier has
been extensively studied. Various types of nonionic surfactants
have been reported to form niosomes and enable the entrapment of
a large number of drugs with a wide range of solubility .
 The composition, size, number of lamellae, and surface charge of
niosomes can be varied and optimized to enhance the performance
of niosomes for drug delivery.
 The unique structure of niosomes allows the development of
effective novel drug delivery systems with ability of loading both
hydrophilic and lipophilic drugs. Hydrophilic drugs and lipophilic
drugs are entrapped into the aqueous core and membrane bilayer
of niosome.
