In the development of an effective therapeutic product, the synthesis and purification of the drug are only part of the process. It is also important to consider how the drug will be delivered. Liposomes or lipid vesicles are an attractive delivery system for administering functional compounds. Liposomal systems are known to increase drug retention time and to reduce toxic side effects after administration. One area of great interest is the use of liposomes in drug delivery systems administered by inhalation for a targeted, sustained and non-invasive means of delivering drugs to the lungs. The microencapsulation of liposome-entrapped compounds in biodegradable capsules offers a possible means of drug delivery to the lungs with increased stability and drug retention. This research has the potential for treating diseases such as tuberculosis and diabetes more effectively and without painful injections. Such benefits will undoubtedly improve the health and quality of life of the many Canadians who suffer from such diseases.

在开发有效的治疗产品时，药物的合成和纯化只是整个过程的一部分。 同样重要的是要考虑如何给药。 脂质体或脂质囊泡是用于施用功能化合物的有吸引力的递送系统。 已知脂质体系统增加药物保留时间并减少给药后的毒副作用。 非常感兴趣的一个领域是脂质体在通过吸入给药的药物递送系统中的用途，用于靶向、持续和非侵入性的将药物递送至肺部的手段。 脂质体包埋的化合物在生物可降解胶囊中的微囊化提供了一种可能的药物递送到肺部的手段，具有增加的稳定性和药物保留。这项研究有可能更有效地治疗结核病和糖尿病等疾病，而无需痛苦的注射。 这些福利无疑将改善许多患有此类疾病的加拿大人的健康和生活质量。
