AB  - Liposomes have attracted much attention in recent years as a potential drug carrier for parenteral use. Successful application of the liposomal drug delivery concept has been demonstrated in the treatment of experimental leishmaniasis with antimonial drugs in animal models. Development of this laboratory research concept into a viable product for clinical use is anticipated to pose numerous technological problems. Various approaches available to resolve some of the problems and to devise suitable formulations are considered. Finally, some of the experiences with the encapsulation of sodium stibogluconate (Pentostam) are briefly described.
