TECHNOLOGICAL FORECASTING: LIPOSOMES AS DRUG DELIVERY VEHICLES WITH THERAPEUTIC POTENTIAL
Abstract
The application of liposomes in the controlled administration of drugs has already had a great
impact in many biomedical areas. They have been found to be beneficial for stabilizing therapeutic
compounds, overcoming obstacles to tissue and cellular uptake and improving the biodistribution of
compounds to target sites in vivo. This forecasting was aimed at analyzing the patents that deal
with the use of liposomes as drug delivery vehicles. The search was performed in the INPI and EPO
databases. The patents found were analyzed for quantity, dates of publication, country of origin of
depositors and inventors, country where they were deposited and International Patent
Classification (IPC). Despite being a rising and emerging area with a trend, there are no deposits
in this area in Brazil, which suffers from systematic problems related to the production of patents.
