Correct answer: C. Liposomes

  • A. Inositides
  • B. Lipoproteins
  • C. Liposomes
  • D. Drugoles

Explanation

Liposomes are lipid vesicles that are used as a drug delivery system. They are made up of a phospholipid bilayer and can encapsulate both hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs. They have gained significant attention in drug delivery systems due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and low toxicity. Liposomes can also be modified to target specific tissues or cells, which makes them an attractive option for targeted drug delivery.
