Review reveals how physicochemical properties dictate liposomal drug delivery efficacy in biological systems, highlighting engineering strategies advancing clinical therapeutics.

Key Points

To examine how liposome composition and physicochemical characteristics determine in vivo behavior, while reviewing technological advancements and clinical translations.
Synthesized literature on liposomal drug-carrier systems spanning from foundational discoveries to current commercial formulations.
Evaluated the influence of lipid organization, particle size, and surface charge on cellular uptake, systemic clearance, and pharmacokinetics.
Cataloged engineering approaches designed to circumvent first-generation delivery limitations and surveyed liposomal products in trials and clinical practice.
Liposomal delivery efficacy strongly depends on structural features, including particle diameter, surface charge, and lipid composition, which control cellular interaction and clearance rates.
Engineered modifications to first-generation liposomes successfully extend in vivo half-life, enhance tissue penetration, and optimize therapeutic biodistribution.
Translational development has led to numerous approved commercial formulations and diverse investigational candidates across active clinical trials.
