Therapeutic Aspects of Liposomes

  • Chapter

Abstract

The fate of a drug after administration in vivo is determined by a combination of several processes: distribution and elimination when given intravenously and absorption, distribution and elimination when an extravascular route is used. Regardless of the mechanisms involved, each of these processes depends mainly on the physico-chemical properties of the drug and therefore, for the most part, on its chemical structure.
