New approaches in topical delivery through using various permeation barrier enhancers

Abstract

Topical delivery of drug is an appealing ways of conservative way in administrating for systematic therapeutics. Human skin is refractive to most molecules, particularly hydrophilic ones, in spite of the existence of trans-barrier route. Overcoming the logical obstacle of skin transportation has become one of issue to design delivery systems of transdermal drug. The crucial of preserving this protective barrier after breaching nano- sized (5 nm - 10 μm) skin surface is for purposes of transdermal drug delivery. Alternatively, sufficient deformable and stable nano-sized carriers can help in achieving controlled and reliable drug delivery across skin barrier. Their ability to act as drug carriers on, in and ideally below skin barrier(s) must be preserved. A proper design of self-regulating, ultra-adaptable and stable hetero-aggregates can overt spontaneously and deliver drugs through primary skin barrier and minimizing the cutaneous drug clearance; this grants deep/targeted deposition and prolonged action of the carrier-transported drugs. Therapeutic products based on ultra- adaptable self-regulating, nano-sized (~100nm) carriers are under development. In meantime, there is tremendous potential to overcome the skin barrier in enhancing transport of drug molecules offered by chemicals. However, single chemicals are limited in their efficiency to interfere low concentration’s skin barrier and will cause skin irritation at most for high concentration’s skin barriers. However, chemical mixtures made up by many components resulted in supplying lofty potency to permeate the skin in contrast with single chemicals that not necessary cause irritation. This write-up is an overview on systems of chemical mixtures’ employed synergistic offering a better process of enhancing permeation of skin.
