Cubosomes are highly stable nanostructured liquid crystalline dosage delivery form derived from amphiphilic
lipids and polymer-based stabilizers converting it in a form of effective biocompatible carrier for the drug delivery. The
delivery form comprised of bicontinuous lipid bilayers arranged in three dimensional honeycombs like structure provided
with two internal aqueous channels for incorporation of number of biologically active ingredients. In contrast liposomes
they provide large surface area for incorporation of different types of ingredients. Due to the distinct advantages of
biocompatibility and thermodynamic stability, cubosomes have remained the first preference as method of choice in the
sustained release, controlled release and targeted release dosage forms as new drug delivery system for the better release of
the drugs. As lot of advancement in the new form of dosage form has bring the novel avenues in drug delivery mechanisms
so it was matter of worth to compile the latest updates on the various aspects of mentioned therapeutic delivery system
including its structure, routes of applications along with the potential applications to encapsulate variety drugs to serve
health related benefits.
