AB  - Background: Gossypol has recently been identified as a potential anticancer agent. In this study, a novel liposomal formulation is evaluated for delivery of gossypol. Materials and Methods: Gossypol was incorporated into liposomes. The liposomes were characterized for physical and chemical properties and for in vitro cytotoxicity. Results: Gossypol was stably encapsulated in these liposomes and exhibited cytotoxicity towards cancer cells. Conclusion: Liposomes can be used effectively as gossypol carriers.
