One such technique of drug targeting is \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcniosome\u00e2\u20ac\u2122. Niosomes are non-ionic surfactant <span class=\"cm_word\" style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #0000FF !important;text-decoration:underline !important;color:#0000FF !important\">vesicles<\/span> obtained on hydration of synthetic nonionic surfactants, with or without incorporation of cholesterol or other lipids. They are vesicular systems similar to liposomes that can be used as carriers of amphiphilic and lipophilic drugs. Norfloxacin loaded niosomes were prepared by Lipid film hydration method with different surfactant to cholesterol ratio. \u00a0The preformulations study was performed by FT-IR and UV spectroscopy to check the drug purity and <span class=\"cm_word\" style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #0000FF !important;text-decoration:underline !important;color:#0000FF !important\">stability<\/span>. The niosomal suspensions were further evaluated for optical microscopy, entrapment efficiency, In vitro release study, Kinetic data analysis, Stability study. The formulation F4 which showed higher entrapment efficiency of 80.54 \u00c2\u00b10.99.
