Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an immune-mediated demyelinating disease of the nervous system that leads to neurological dysfunctions and severe disabilities. It is worth noting that conventional pharmacotherapy is poorly selective and causes toxicity problems and several systemic side effects. Thus, there is a need to develop new approaches to this medical challenge. The use of nanocarriers for drug delivery represents a good strategy to overcome several issues such as high therapeutic drug doses with side effects, such as diarrhea, nausea, and abdominal pain, and drug degradation processes; in addition, nanocarriers can provide controlled and targeted drug release. This review describes the application of liposomes for the delivery of pharmaceutical actives to target MS. Firstly, MS is explained. Then, liposomes are described along with their preparation, characterization, and stability. The literature about the use of liposomes for the treatment of MS is then analyzed.
