Abstract Liposomes are self-assembled bilayer vesicles which have attracted a great deal of interest as potential carriers for a wide range of therapeutic agents. They have significantly decreased toxicity of drugs while improving or at least maintaining their efficacy.

Mucoadhesion, the state in which two materials, amongst which one is biological in nature, adhere to each other for extended periods of time with the help of interfacial forces, provides an attractive strategy to overcome the hurdles of conventional drug delivery systems including first pass metabolism, and localized delivery of biomolecules including proteins, peptides and oligonucleotides. Mucoadhesion provides great opportunities for the delivery of a variety of compounds via different...
