Abstract: Background: This study aimed to elaborate on all the aspects of multivesicular liposomes,
including structure, function, topology, etc. Liposomes are a unique drug delivery system, in which
both hydrophilic and hydrophobic drug molecules can be incorporated. Particularly, multivesicular
liposomes have more advantages than other liposomes because of their unique structure. This study
provides an overview of several works already performed by various researchers in this field. Numerous
studies have reported on preparing and evaluating multivesicular liposomes for drug delivery applications.
This study summarizes the process of formulating multivesicular liposomes and their application
in drug delivery systems and provides details about how to resolve the problem of limited
solubility and stability of biomolecules, along with controlled drug release kinetics, with the possibility
of loading various drugs. There is no doubt that multivesicular liposome opens new avenues to
develop novel drug delivery system for achieving the desired functional performances and expanding
the applications in the drug delivery area.
