abstract

ethosomes are a novel and alternative drug delivery systems and currently the focus of many research activities. ethosomes are soft, flexible vesicles that are composed mainly of phospholipids, ethanol and water. ethosomes can provide better skin permeation than liposomes and deliver enhanced amounts of both small and large therapeutic agents through skin and targeting to deeper skin layers for various diseases. finally deliver to the systemic circulation. it is clear that ethosomal carrier because of presences ethanol cause skin disruption and increases lipid fluidity. in this review, the mechanism of penetration, applications, preparation, advantages and disadvantages of ethosomes are illuminated.

Ethosome for Enhanced Transdermal Drug Delivery of Aceclofenac

The aim of the current investigation is to evaluate the transdermal potential of novel vesicular carrier, ethosomes, bearing aceclofenac, Non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) agents having limited transdermal permeation. Aceclofenac loaded ethosomal carriers were prepared, optimized and characterized for vesicular shape and surface morphology,(SEM) scanning electronic microscopy, vesic...

Ethosome: A Novel Approach of Transdermal Drug Delivery System

Transdermal drug delivery generated major interest among large pharmaceutical companies in the 1980s and 1990s due to potential advantages of avoidance of first-pass metabolism, avoidance of exposure to the chemical and biological conditions of the gastrointestinal tract, reduction or avoidance of adverse events, improved patient compliance. Ethosome delivery system was established to develop a...

Electrospun polymeric nanofibers for transdermal drug delivery

Conventional transdermal drug delivery systems (TDDS) have been designed for drug delivery through the skin. These systems use the permeability property of stratum corneum, the outermost surface layer of the skin. Applying polymeric micro and nanofibers in drug delivery has recently attracted great attention and the electrospinning technique is the preferred method for polymeric micro-nanofiber...

A review of the microneedles for transdermal drug delivery

Microneedles consist of micron-sized projections similar to needles. They are capable of piercing through the stratum corneum and increase the permeation of active ingredients. Besides active pharmaceutical ingredients, microneedles can also deliver cosmetic agents, biotherapeutics like insulin and vaccines and also are used in diagnostic purposes. This article examines the types of microneedle...

Novel transdermal drug delivery systems

Background and aim: Eczema is a common inflammatory skin disease. Although history and physical examination are important in diagnosis of allergen, because of extent of environmental allergens, those are not simply recognized. The objective of this study was to determine allergens in patients with contact or atopic dermatitis referred to Razi hospital.Materials and Meth...

Biomimetic nanocarrier for direct cytosolic drug delivery.

The ability to transport a large quantity of drug molecules into cytosolic compartments of cancer cells has powerful implications in modern molecular therapeutics because the sites of action of the drugs are often cytosolic organelles. Furthermore, direct cytosolic delivery might offer a means to evade efflux transporters, such as multidrug-resistance proteins and P-glycoproteins. Nanoparticle ...
