Abstract
Development of nanomaterials for drug delivery has received considerable attention due to their potential for achieving on-target delivery to the diseased area while the surrounding healthy tissue is spared. Safe and efficiently delivered payloads have always been a challenge in pharmaceutics. Niosomes are self-assembled vesicular nanocarriers formed by hydration of a non-ionic surfactant, cholesterol or other molecules that combine to form a versatile drug delivery system with a variety of applications ranging from topical delivery to targeted delivery. Niosomes have advantages similar to those of liposomes with regards to their ability to incorporate both hydrophilic and hydrophobic payloads. Moreover, niosomes have simple manufacturing methods, low production cost and exhibit extended stability, consequently overcoming the major drawbacks associated with liposomes. This review provides a comprehensive summary of niosomal research to date, including the types of niosomes and critical material attributes (CMA) and critical process parameters (CPP) of niosomes and their effects on the critical quality attributes (CQA) of the technology. Furthermore, physical characterisation techniques of niosomes are provided. The review then highlights recent applications of specialised niosomes in drug delivery. Finally, limitations and prospects for this technology are discussed.

Abstract
Among modern drug formulations, stimuli-responsive hydrogels also called "smart hydrogels" deserve a special attention. The basic feature of this system is the ability to change their mechanical properties, swelling ability, hydrophilicity, bioactive molecules permeability, etc., influenced by various stimuli, such as temperature, pH, electromagnetic radiation, magnetic field and biological factors. Therefore, stimuli-responsive matrices can be potentially used in tissue engineering, cell cultures and technology of innovative drug delivery systems (DDSs), releasing the active substances under the control of internal or external stimuli. Moreover, smart hydrogels can be used as injectable DDSs, due to gel-sol transition connected with in situ cross-linking process. Innovative smart hydrogel DDSs can be utilized as matrices for targeted therapy, which enhances the effectiveness of tumor chemotherapy and subsequently limits systemic toxicity. External stimulus sensitivity allows remote control over the drug release profile and gel formation. On the other hand, internal factors provide drg accumulation in tumor tissue and reduce the concentration of active drug form in healthy tissue. In this report, we summarise the basic knowledge and chemical strategies for the synthetic smart hydrogel DDSs applied in antitumor therapy.

Abstract
Morusin, a water-insoluble prenylated flavonoid is known for its numerous medicinal properties. It manifests its anticancer potential by suppression of genes involved in tumor progression. However, poor solubility of the drug results in low bioavailability and rapid degradation thus hindering its clinical utilization. In order to overcome this, we have synthesized a niosome system composed of non-ionic surfactant span 60 and cholesterol using a thin-layer evaporation technique to improve the aqueous-phase solubility of the drug. Highly cytocompatible niosomes of 479 nm average size with smooth and uniform spherical morphology were synthesized in a facile manner. Unlike free morusin, nanomorusin was found to be freely dispersible in aqueous media. Having an extremely high drug entrapment efficiency (97%), controlled and sustained release of morusin resulting in enhanced therapeutic efficacy was observed in cancer cell lines of 4 different lineages. The results demonstrate that the morusin-niosome system is a promising strategy for enhanced anti-cancer activity against multiple cancer types and could be an indispensable tool for future targeted chemotherapeutic strategies. Highly cytocompatible morusin-loaded niosomes were synthesized showing high drug loading and encapsulation efficiencies with sustained release of the drug. Enhanced therapeutic efficacy was observed against 4 different cancer cell lines.![]()

Abstract
Niosomes represent an emerging class of novel vesicular systems. They are composed of nonionic surfactants which are biodegradable and relatively nontoxic. They were developed as stable and inexpensive alternatives to liposomes. Since their early introduction to cosmetic industry their role has diversified to other application areas. They are now being ardently explored as potential carriers for sustained and targeted drug delivery. In addition to conventional, oral, and parenteral routes, they are amenable to be delivered by ocular, transdermal, vaginal, and inhalation routes. Delivery of biotechnological products including vaccine delivery with niosomes is also an interesting and promising research area. The introduction of provesicular approach in the form of proniosomes has further increased the relevance of these systems. More concerted research efforts, however, are still required to realize the full potential of these novel systems. This review considers the current status and explores the potential of niosomes in drug delivery with special attention to their role in drug targeting. Their methods of preparation, formulation aspects, advantages, limitations, and applications are also discussed.

Abstract
Tween surfactants possess very interesting properties such as biodegradability, biocompatibility, and low toxicity. The synthesis of acrylate monomers by means of the chemical modification of polysorbate surfactants Tween 20, 40, and 60 with unsaturated groups is described. Monomers were obtained as a result of the reaction of methacrylic anhydride with different grades of Tween surfactants. Further polymerization was carried out in tetrahydrofuran, dimethylformamide, and a mixture of water-tetrahydrofuran. Physicochemistry properties of the polymer networks were investigated, and the obtained results reveal that they strongly depend on the type of solvent used during the polymerization, as well as on the concentration of the casting solution. In particular, our study demonstrated that, depending on the solvent boiling point, i.e., the facility to remove the solvent from the polymer matrix, it is possible to predict properties of the network morphology. Moreover, in vitro studies on controlled release were accomplished to demonstrate the possibility of utilizing these new materials as drug delivery systems. All resulting networks represent a novel class of cross-linked polymeric materials useful both in pharmaceutical and chemical applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammation plays a key role in many chronic disease processes as well as an acute role in injury and wound healing. Various cell types are recruited from the bloodstream to the inflamed site through adhesion molecules, cytokines, chemokines and others. OBJECTIVES This review examines many drug-targeting strategies that make use of these molecules or signaling pathways, and seeks to describe certain commonalities irrespective of the disease process or agent to be delivered. METHODS A survey of the literature, primarily within the last year, was performed. Search words included 'drug targeting' and 'inflammation' and of those, the scope was refined to include those studies that specifically sought to modify or ameliorate an aspect of the inflammatory process in the treatment of a disease. RESULTS/CONCLUSION Inflammation plays a key role in many diseases, and many similar targets (such as adhesion molecules) are the focus of the treatment of those diseases.
