“…All things considered, nanotechnology has the capacity to deeply explore and take advantage of new aspects and features of particles in order for creating fresh approaches and deliver methods for illness treatment and diagnosis, to improve the qualities of process that have already been produced. Interestingly, nanotechnology may improve and encourage the use of novel drug/antigen delivery methods by fusing and blending the most updated data of nano-materials with the comprehension of various biological processes 8,9 .…”

Niosomes are artificially manufactured vesicles made of Cholesterol and Non-ionic surfactant. Their capacity to encapsulate a broad variety of pharmaceuticals and shield them from deterioration has piqued interest in drug delivery. Niosomes have demonstrated a possible use in the administration of anti-tuberculosis medications. Worldwide, tuberculosis is a serious public health concern. Even with advances in science and technology, tuberculosis remains a persistent problem.Niosomes can encapsulate anti-TB drugs, protecting them from enzymatic degradation and allowing for sustained release. Research in this field is on-going, with scientists working on optimizing niosomal formulations for tuberculosis treatment. It's important to consult current scientific literature for the latest advancements. Some anti-tubercular drugs face challenges in terms of absorption and bioavailability. Niosomal delivery systems can help address these issues. While niosomal drug delivery systems show promise, it's crucial to note that they are still an area of active research and specific formulations and protocols may vary. Patients should always consult with their healthcare providers for the most appropriate and up-to-date treatment options for tuberculosis. Niosomes can encapsulate both hydrophilic and lipophilic drugs, offering advantages such as increased drug stability, prolonged circulation time, controlled release, and targeted delivery. They have applications in various fields including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and agriculture. Keywords: Tuberculosis, Niosomes, Drug delivery system
