Spanlastics: An Innovative Nanovesicular Platform for Advanced Drug Delivery

Spanlastics are an innovative nanovesicular platform designed to improve drug delivery by addressing the limitations of traditional formulations like liposomes and nanoparticles. These elastic, non-toxic vesicles can encapsulate drugs, offering controlled and targeted delivery, which enhances the bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs and provides better stability. Spanlastics are effective in delivering both hydrophilic and lipophilic drugs to specific sites, thereby reducing side effects and improving therapeutic outcomes. The review discusses the classification, preparation methods, mechanisms, evaluation techniques, and various applications of spanlastics in modern drug delivery systems.
