This new edition of the indian pharmacopoeia entitled 6th edition (indian pharmacopoeia 2010)
is published by the indian pharmacopoeia commission (ipc) in accordance with a plan and
completed through the untiring efforts of its members, secretariat and laboratory over a period of
about two years. It supersedes the 2007 edition but any monograph of the earlier edition that
does not figure in this edition continues to be official as stipulated in the second schedule of the
drugs and cosmetics act, 1940.

List of drugs which are approved by FDA in liposomal drug delivery systems.
Amphotericin B : Amphoterecin B is an antibiotic and is an antifungal drug, it is required to
be injected intravenously and has some seriously bad side effects like acute reaction and fever
with chill , nausea, anorxia and weekness, all these side effects depend up on the concentration
of Amphoterecin B
Cytarabine (Ara-C ) : is an anticancer drug it is an nucleotide anti metabolite drug , and is
cytotoxic , it also brings damage to other tissue cells when it come in contact with other normal
tissue cells , along with cancer cells . Formulations of Cytarabine (Ara-C) in liposome
reduce its untoward toxic effect on other tissue cells,
Cyclophosphamide : It is a anticancer drug , like cytrabin it too has cytotoxicity it belonging
to category cyclic nitrogen mustard. These drugs are very unstable in biological fluids in fact it
is a prodrug which when come in contact with biological fluid at ph 5 to 7 becomes active and
exert their effect and kill cancer cell by alkylating DNA and thus making it inactive for any

activity they are called as alkylating agents, Formulating cyclophosphamide in liposomes
help in reducing its cytotoxic effects , as the drug concentration required for desired
anticancer effect .
Doxorubicin: It is also an anticancer drug it is an antibiotic drug and has similar cytotoxic
effects of anticancer chemotherapy, formulations of liposome formulations of these drug help in
bringing down their cytotoxicity andand help in optimizing therapeutic efficacy.
Hepatitis A and Influenza vaccines: Vaccines are developed in liposome to render their
untoward sensitizing effect on immune system, further they can be combined with
polyethylene glycol which further render vaccines less immunogenic and specific.
Verteporfin: It is a drug used as photosesitizer in photodynamic therapy for macular
degeneration, it is used to treat and eliminated damaged tissue in macular region during macular
degeneration.This drug absorbs energy from light at 693 nm and produce reactive oxygen ,
which help in treating damaged blood vessels in eye. Liposome help in optimizing the therapy
with minimal concentration of drug and and targeting the damaged tissue.
