Li Y, Liu F, Che J, Zhang Y, Yin T, Gou J, Tang X, Wang Y, He H. Sodium glycocholate liposome encapsulated semaglutide increases oral bioavailability by promoting intestinal absorption. Int J Pharm 2024; 665:124669. [PMID: 39244070 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2024.124669] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2024] [Revised: 08/15/2024] [Accepted: 09/03/2024] [Indexed: 09/09/2024]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to prepare sodium glycocholate liposomes (SGC-Lip) encapsulating semaglutide (Sml) to improve oral bioavailability and better exert hypoglycemic effect. In this paper, SGC-Lip was prepared by reverse-phase evaporation method with particle size around 140 nm, potential around -27 mV, rounded morphology and better stability. The hypoglycemic and intestinal uptake effects of SGC-Lip and cholesterol-containing liposomes (CH-Lip) were comparatively investigated in rats, and the oral safety of SGC-Lip was examined by cytotoxicity assay. The results indicate that SGC-Lip can achieve a hypoglycemic effect of 40% of the initial value within 12 hours, and the AAC0-12h is approximately six times that of CH-Lip without sodium glycocholate. The results of the cytotoxicity tests indicate that SGC-Lip has good oral safety. SGC-Lip enhances the absorption of semaglutide in the small intestinal villi via an apical sodium-dependent bile acid transporter (ASBT)-mediated pathway with the highest penetration at the ileal site. In summary, the oral bioavailability of semaglutide can be improved by encapsulating semaglutide in SGC-Lip and utilizing the stabilizing and permeation-promoting effects of SGC on liposomes.

Abstract
Microneedles (MNs) are a new type of drug delivery method that can be regarded as an alternative to traditional transdermal drug delivery systems. Recently, MNs have attracted widespread attention for their advantages of effectiveness, safety, and painlessness. However, the functionality of traditional MNs is too monotonous and limits their application. To improve the efficiency of disease treatment and diagnosis by combining the advantages of MNs, the concept of intelligent stimulus-responsive MNs is proposed. Intelligent stimuli-responsive MNs can exhibit unique biomedical functions according to the internal and external environment changes. This review discusses the classification and principles of intelligent stimuli-responsive MNs, such as magnet, temperature, light, electricity, reactive oxygen species, pH, glucose, and protein. This review also highlights examples of intelligent stimuli-responsive MNs for biomedical applications, such as on-demand drug delivery, tissue repair, bioimaging, detection and monitoring, and photothermal therapy. These intelligent stimuli-responsive MNs offer the advantages of high biocompatibility, targeted therapy, selective detection, and precision treatment. Finally, the prospects and challenges for the application of intelligent stimuli-responsive MNs are discussed.

Mechanistic of Vesicular Ethosomes and Elastic Liposomes on Permeation Profiles of Acyclovir across Artificial Membrane, Human Cultured EpiDerm, and Rat Skin: In Vitro-Ex Vivo Study. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:2189. [PMID: 37765159 PMCID: PMC10534565 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15092189] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2023] [Revised: 08/04/2023] [Accepted: 08/21/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Acyclovir (ACV) controls cutaneous herpes, genital herpes, herpes keratitis, varicella zoster, and chickenpox. From previously reported ACV formulations, we continued to explore the permeation behavior of the optimized ACV loaded optimized ethosome (ETHO2R) and elastic liposome (ELP3R) and their respective carbopol gels across artificial membrane, cultured human EpiDerm, and rat skin. Transepidermal water loss (TEWL), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were used to investigate the mechanistic perspective of permeation behavior. The size values of reformulated ELP3-R and ETHO2-R were observed as 217 and 128 nm, respectively (close to previous report), whereas their respective gels showed as 231 and 252 nm, respectively. ETHO2R showed high elasticity, %EE, and low vesicle size. These were investigated for the diffusion rate of the drug permeation (3 h) across the artificial membrane, cultured human EpiDerm, and rat skin. ETHO2GR showed the highest permeation flux (78.42 µg/cm2/h), diffusion coefficient (8.24 × 10-5 cm2/h), and permeation coefficient (0.67 × 10-3 cm/h) of ACV across synthetic membrane, whereas diffusion coefficient (2.4 × 10-4 cm2/h) and permeation coefficient (0.8 × 10-3 cm/h) were maximum across EpiDerm for ETHO2GR. ETHO2R suspension showed maximized permeation flux (169.58 µg/cm2/h) and diffusion rate (0.293 mg/cm2/h1/2), suggesting the rapid internalization of vesicles with cultured skin cells at low viscosity. A similar observation was revealed using rat skin, wherein the permeation flux (182.42 µg/cm2/h), permeation coefficient (0.3 × 10-2 cm/h), and diffusion rate (0.315 mg/cm2/h1/2) of ETHO2R were relatively higher than ELP3R and ELP3GR. Relative small size (128 nm), low viscosity, ethanol-mediated ultra-deformability, high drug entrapment (98%), and elasticity (63.2) are associated with ETHO2R to provide remarkable permeation behavior across the three barriers. The value of TEWL for ETHO2R (21.9 g/m2h) was 3.71 times higher than untreated control (5.9 g/m2h), indicating ethanol-mediated maximized surficial skin lipid perturbation at 3 h of application, whereas the respective ETHO2GR-treated rat skin had TEWL value (18.6 g/m2h) slightly lower than ETHO2R due to gel-based hydration into the skin. SEL, CLSM, and AFM provided a mechanistic perspective of ETHO2R and ELP3R-mediated permeation across rat skin and carrier-mediated visualization (skin-vesicle interaction). AFM provided detailed nanoscale surface roughness topographical parameters of treated and untreated rat skin as supportive data to SEM and CLSM. Thus, ethosomes ETHO2R and respective gel assisted maximum permeation of ACV across rat skin and cultured human EpiDerm to control cutaneous herpes infection and herpes keratitis.

Abstract
The advent of skin patch formulation design and technology has enabled the commercialisation of methyl salicylate (MS) as a topical patch. However, the most fundamental aspect of skin permeation is unknown at present. The study aims to investigate the effect of solvent choice on the skin permeation of MS in a neat solvent system and patch formulation with an emphasis on patch adhesion. MS in six selected solvents (propylene glycol (PG), Transcutol®, isopropyl myristate, Labrasol®, Plurol® oleique CC 497 and Maisine® CC) was characterised and in vitro permeation studies were also performed. An ATR-FTIR analysis on solvent-treated skin was conudcted. Patch formulation was prepared and characterised for adhesion, in vitro drug release and skin permeation studies. The highest MS permeation was found in neat PG over 24 h (~90 μg/cm2) due to its strong skin protein conformation effect. Transcutol® and isopropyl myristate showed better skin deposition and formulation retention, respectively. Nevertheless, PG enhanced the patch adhesion despite having a lower cumulative amount of MS permeated (~80 μg/cm2) as compared with Transcutol® and Maisine® (~110-150 μg/cm2). These two solvents, however, demonstrated better skin deposition and formulation retention but a lower patch adhesion. The unpredictable influence of the solvent on patch adhesion highlights the importance of the trade-off between patch adhesion and skin permeation during formulation design.

Abstract
Liposomes represent important drug carrier vehicles in biological systems. A fusogenic liposomal system composed of equimolar mixtures of the cationic lipid DOTAP and the phospholipid DOPE showed high fusion and delivery efficiencies with cells and lipid vesicles. However, aspects of the thermodynamics involving the interaction of these fusogenic liposomes and biomimetic systems remain unclear. Here, we investigate the fusion of this system with large unilamellar vesicles (LUVs) composed of the zwitterionic lipid POPC and increasing fractions of the anionic lipid POPG and up to 30 mol % cholesterol. The focus here is to concomitantly follow changes in size, zeta-potential, and enthalpy binding upon membrane interaction and fusion. Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) data showed that membrane fusion in our system is an exothermic process in the absence of cholesterol, suggesting that electrostatic attraction is the driving force for fusion. An endothermic component appeared and eventually dominated the titration at 30 mol % cholesterol, which we propose is caused by membrane fluidification when cholesterol is diluted upon fusion. The inflection points of the ITC data occurred around 0.5-0.7 POPG/DOTAP for all systems, the same stoichiometry for which zeta-potential and dynamic light scattering measurements showed an increase in size coupled with charge neutralization of the system, which is consistent with the fact that fusion in our system is charge-mediated. Microscopy observations of the final mixtures revealed the presence of giant vesicles, which is a clear indication of fusion, coexisting with intermediate-sized objects that could be the result of both fusion and/or aggregation. The results show that the fusion efficiency of the DOTAP:DOPE fusogenic system is modulated by the charge and membrane packing of the acceptor membrane and explain why the system fuses very efficiently with cells.

Abstract
This review focuses on key topics in the field of drug delivery related to the design of nanocarriers answering the biomedicine criteria, including biocompatibility, biodegradability, low toxicity, and the ability to overcome biological barriers. For these reasons, much attention is paid to the amphiphile-based carriers composed of natural building blocks, lipids, and their structural analogues and synthetic surfactants that are capable of self-assembly with the formation of a variety of supramolecular aggregates. The latter are dynamic structures that can be used as nanocontainers for hydrophobic drugs to increase their solubility and bioavailability. In this section, biodegradable cationic surfactants bearing cleavable fragments are discussed, with ester- and carbamate-containing analogs, as well as amino acid derivatives received special attention. Drug delivery through the biological barriers is a challenging task, which is highlighted by the example of transdermal method of drug administration. In this paper, nonionic surfactants are primarily discussed, including their application for the fabrication of nanocarriers, their surfactant-skin interactions, the mechanisms of modulating their permeability, and the factors controlling drug encapsulation, release, and targeted delivery. Different types of nanocarriers are covered, including niosomes, transfersomes, invasomes and chitosomes, with their morphological specificity, beneficial characteristics and limitations discussed.

Abstract
Skin may be affected by many disorders that can be treated by topical applications of drugs on the action site. With the advent of nanotechnologies, new efficient delivery systems have been developed. Particularly, lipid-based nanosystems such as liposomes, ethosomes, transferosomes, solid lipid nanoparticles, nanostructured lipid carriers, cubosomes, and monoolein aqueous dispersions have been proposed for cutaneous application, reaching in some cases the market or clinical trials. This review aims to provide an overview of the different lipid-based nanosystems, focusing on their use for topical application. Particularly, biocompatible nanosystems able to dissolve lipophilic compounds and to control the release of carried drug, possibly reducing side effects, are described. Notably, the rationale to topically administer antioxidant molecules by lipid nanocarriers is described. Indeed, the structural similarity between the nanosystem lipid matrix and the skin lipids allows the achievement of a transdermal effect. Surely, more research is required to better understand the mechanism of interaction between lipid-based nanosystems and skin. However, this attempt to summarize and highlight the possibilities offered by lipid-based nanosystems could help the scientific community to take advantage of the benefits derived from this kind of nanosystem.

Abstract
The barrier function of skin and non-optimal physicochemical properties of drug present a challenge to skin penetration of many drugs, thus motivating the development of novel drug delivery systems. Recently, nanocrystal-based formulations have been investigated for topical drug delivery and demonstrated improved skin penetration. This review highlights barriers in skin penetration, current techniques to improve topical delivery and application of nanocrystals in conquering obstacles for topical delivery. Nanocrystals can improve delivery through the skin by mechanisms like higher concentration gradient across skin resulting in increased passive diffusion, hair follicle targeting, diffusional corona and adhesion to skin. This would be of interest for formulation scientists for product development of molecules that are 'difficult-to-deliver' topically.

Abstract
Transdermal delivery systems have gained much interest in recent years owing to their advantages compared to conventional oral and parenteral delivery systems. They are noninvasive and self-administered delivery systems that can improve patient compliance and provide a controlled release of the therapeutic agents. The greatest challenge of transdermal delivery systems is the barrier function of the skin's outermost layer. Molecules with molecular weights greater than 500 Da and ionized compounds generally do not pass through the skin. Therefore, only a limited number of drugs are capable of being administered by this route. Encapsulating the drugs in transfersomes are one of the potential approaches to overcome this problem. They have a bilayered structure that facilitates the encapsulation of lipophilic and hydrophilic, as well as amphiphilic, drug with higher permeation efficiencies compared to conventional liposomes. Transfersomes are elastic in nature, which can deform and squeeze themselves as an intact vesicle through narrow pores that are significantly smaller than its size. This review aims to describe the concept of transfersomes, the mechanism of action, different methods of preparation and characterization and factors affecting the properties of transfersomes, along with their recent applications in the transdermal administration of drugs.

Abstract
AbstractTransdermal delivery systems have been intensively studied over the past 2 decades, with the focus on overcoming the skin barrier for more effective application of pharmaceutical and cosmetic products. Although the cosmeceutical industry has made a substantial progress in the development and incorporation of new and effective actives in their products, the barrier function of the skin remains a limiting factor in the penetration and absorption of these actives. Enhancement via modification of the stratum corneum by hydration, acting of chemical enhancers on the structure of stratum corneum lipids, and partitioning and solubility effects are described. This review summarizes the advances in the development and mechanisms of action of chemical components that act as permeation enhancers, as well as the advances in appropriate vehicles, such as gels, emulsions, and vesicular delivery systems, that can be used for effective transdermal delivery.

Abstract
Introduction:
Transferosomes also known as ultra-deformable liposomes were introduced by
Gregor Cevc in 1990. These are deformable vesicles that transport drug across the skin, which is the best
route of drug delivery because skin is the largest human organ with 3 kg total weight and a surface area
of 1.5-2.0 m2.
Methods:
Transferosomes are able to efficiently deliver low as well as high molecular weight drug
across the skin in terms of quantity and depth. Various methods used for the preparation of transferosomes
such as thin film hydration method, reverse phase evaporation method, vortex/sonication
method, ethanol injection method and freeze thaw method.
Results:
The prepared transferosomal preparation will be evaluated for particle shape and size, entrapment
efficiency, stability study, penetration ability and skin permeation study. In vitro release studies are
to be performed using a specific dissolution medium.
Conclusion:
Ultra deformable liposomes can be used for delivery of different drugs e.g. analgesic, anesthetic,
corticosteroids, anticancer, sex hormone, insulin, gap junction protein, and albumin.

Abstract
The adequate formulation of topical vehicles to treat skin diseases is particularly complex. A desirable formulation should enhance the accumulation of the active drugs in the target tissue (the skin), while avoiding the penetration enhancement to be so large that the drugs reach the systemic circulation in toxic amounts. We have evaluated the transcutaneous penetration of three drugs chosen for their widely variable physicochemical properties: Amphotericin B, Imiquimod and Indole. We incorporated the drugs in fluid or ultra-flexible liposomes. Ultra-flexible liposomes produced enhancement of drug penetration into/through human skin in all cases in comparison with fluid liposomes without detergent, regardless of drug molecular weight. At the same time, our results indicate that liposomes can impede the transcutaneous penetration of molecules, in particular small ones.

Abstract
Bioactive proteins and peptides have been used with either prophylactic or therapeutic purposes, presenting inherent advantages as high specificity and biocompatibility. Nanocarriers play an important role in the stabilization of proteins and peptides, offering enhanced buccal permeation and protection while crossing the gastrointestinal tract. Moreover, preparation of nanoparticles as oral delivery systems for proteins/peptides may include tailored formulation along with functionalization aiming bioavailability enhancement of carried proteins or peptides. Oral delivery systems, namely buccal delivery systems, represent an interesting alternative route to parenteric delivery systems to carry proteins and peptides, resulting in higher comfort of administration and, therefore, compliance to treatment. This paper outlines an extensive overview of the existing publications on proteins/peptides oral nanocarriers delivery systems, with special focus on buccal route. Manufacturing aspects of most commonly used nanoparticles for oral delivery (e.g. polymeric nanoparticles using synthetic or natural polymers and lipid nanoparticles) advantages and limitations and potential applications of nanoparticles as proteins/peptides delivery systems will also be thoroughly addressed.

Abstract
Introduction: The skin acts as a barrier and prevents transcutaneous delivery of therapeutic agents. Transfersomes are novel vesicular systems that are several times more elastic than other vesicular systems. These are composed of edge activator, phospholipids, ethanol, and sodium cholate and are applied in a non-occlusive manner. Areas covered: This article covers information such as merits/demerits of transfersomes, regulatory aspects of materials used in preparation, different methods of preparation, mechanism of action, review of clinical investigations performed, marketed preparations available, research reports, and patent reports related to transfersomes. Expert opinion: Research over the past few years has provided a better understanding of transfersomal permeation of therapeutic agents across stratum corneum barrier. Transfersomes provides an essential feature of their application to variety of compositions in order to optimize the permeability of a range of therapeutic molecules. This is evidenced by the fact that there are several Transfersome products being processed in advanced clinical trials. It is noteworthy that a number of Transfersome products for dermal and transdermal delivery will gain a global market success in near future.

Abstract
Ultradeformable liposomes (UDLs) as a drug delivery system (DDS), prepared from the unsaturated phospholipid, dioleylphosphocholine (DOPC), and containing the non-ionic surfactant Tween 20 as edge activator, have been explored as topical vehicles for zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) and the nitrosyl ruthenium complex [Ru(NH.NHq)(tpy)NO]3+ (RuNO) as a photosensitizers for co-generation of 1O2 and NO as reactive species, respectively. However, in order to ensure that ZnPc was present in the UDLs in its monomeric form - essential for maximal ZnPc photophysical properties - it was necessary to replace 40wt% of the DOPC with the saturated phospholipid, dimyristoylphosphocholine (DMPC). The resultant ZnPc and complex [Ru(NH.NHq)(tpy)NO]3+ containing UDLs were stable for at least a month when stored at 4°C, six times more elastic/deformable than conventional liposome (c-Ls), i.e. liposome prepared using the same weight ratio of lipids but in the absence of Tween 20, and to significantly enhance the in vitro permeation of ZnPc across fresh pig ear skin. The UDLs DDS incorporating ZnPc and [Ru(NH.NHq)(tpy)NO]3+ were toxic (by the MTT assay) towards B16-F10 melanoma cells when irradiated with visible light at 670nm, the maximum absorption of ZnPc, and at a dose of 3.18J/cm2, but not when applied in the absence of light as expected. Based on these results it is proposed that the novel topical UDLs formulation developed is a suitable delivery vehicle for photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
Usually the topical delivery of ocular drugs poses a great challenge. Accordingly, the work in this study comprised the use of different hybrids of generally regarded as safe (GRAS) oils and surfactants in order to develop and optimize novel acetazolamide (AZD) entrapped-vesicular systems aiming at improving its ocular delivery and reaching better therapeutic outcomes in the treatment of glaucoma. The phospholipid/cholesterol bilayer of the vesicles was enriched with hybrids of Tween 80, Labrasol, Transcutol and Labrafac lipophile WL in different masses and proportions according to a mixture design viz. D-optimal mixture design. Three models were generated comprising three responses: particles size, percentage of entrapment efficiency and amount of drug released after 24 hours (Q24h). The results demonstrated the ability of the penetration enhancing hybrids in modulating the three responses compared to the conventional liposomes. Transmission electron microscope was used to characterize the selected formulations. Sterilization of selected formulations was carried out using gamma radiation and the effect of gamma radiations on entrapment, particle size and in vitro release were studied. The selected sterilized formulations were tested in-vivo on the eyes of albino rabbits in order to evaluate the efficiency of the novel delivery systems on the intra-ocular pressure reduction (IOP) compared to drug solution and the conventional liposomes. The novel formulations proved their efficiency in reducing the IOP to lower values compared to the conventional liposomes, which pose new successful platform for ocular delivery of AZD and other anti-glaucoma drug analogs.

Abstract
CONTEXT Atorvastatin calcium (ATV), a cholesterol-lowering agent, suffers from poor systemic availability (14%) after oral administration in addition to other side effects on the gastrointestinal tract, liver and muscle. OBJECTIVE The goal of the present investigation was to improve ATV bioavailability and overcome complications attendant with peroral administration by developing a new nanovesicular system encapsulating ATV for its delivery via the transdermal route. METHODS The vesicular systems were prepared by incorporating different polyethylene glycol fatty acid esters such as Labrasol, Cremophor EL, Gelucire 44/14 and Tween 80 as edge activators (EAs) in the lipid bilayer. The effect of the phosphatidylcholine (PC):EA molar ratio on the physicochemical properties of the vesicles was investigated. The pharmacokinetic studies of the optimized formulation were evaluated in rats. The optimized formulation was tested in poloxamer 407-induced hyperlipidemic rats. The plasma lipid profile, activity of liver enzymes, and oxidative stress parameters were measured using commercially available kits. RESULTS The results revealed high ATV entrapment efficiency (EE%) ranging from 55.62 to 83.91%. The formulations that contained Labrasol showed the highest EE%. The mean diameter of the vesicles was in the range of 186-583nm. T8 containing Gelucire 44/14 as an EA in the molar ratio of 15:1 (PC:EA) gave the smallest size and exhibited the best permeation parameters across the skin. The pharmacokinetic studies revealed that about three times statistically significant (p<0.05) improvement in bioavailability, after transdermal administration of nanotransfersomal ATV gel compared to oral ATV suspension. The transdermal vesicular system exhibited a significant decrease in plasma total cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL cholesterol comparable to oral ATV. Additionally, it lowered the malondialdehyde levels in plasma and abolished the increase in liver enzyme activity. CONCLUSION The results obtained suggest that the proposed transdermal vesicular system can serve as a promising alternative means for delivery of ATV.

Abstract
In the recent decade, skin delivery (topical and transdermal) has gained an unprecedented popularity, especially due to increased incidences of chronic skin diseases, demand for targeted and patient compliant delivery, and interest in life cycle management strategies among pharmaceutical companies. Literature review of recent publications indicates that among various skin delivery systems, lipid-based delivery systems (vesicular carriers and lipid particulate systems) have been the most successful. Vesicular carriers consist of liposomes, ultradeformable liposomes, and ethosomes, while lipid particulate systems consist of lipospheres, solid lipid nanoparticles, and nanostructured lipid carriers. These systems can increase the skin drug transport by improving drug solubilization in the formulation, drug partitioning into the skin, and fluidizing skin lipids. Considering that lipid-based delivery systems are regarded as safe and efficient, they are proving to be an attractive delivery strategy for the pharmaceutical as well as cosmeceutical drug substances. However, development of these delivery systems requires comprehensive understanding of physicochemical characteristics of drug and delivery carriers, formulation and process variables, mechanism of skin delivery, recent technological advancements, specific limitations, and regulatory considerations. Therefore, this review article encompasses recent research advances addressing the aforementioned issues.

Abstract
Background: The application of therapeutic agents to the skin addresses three general objectives: (a) the treatment of a variety of dermatologic diseases; (b) the “targeted” delivery of drugs to deeper subcutaneous tissues, with a concomitant reduction in systemic exposure; and (c) socalled transdermal administration to elicit a systemic pharmacologic effect. Objective: Recently, significant progress towards all three goals has been recorded and the level of research and development activity remains high. We aim to discuss these advances from mechanistic and clinical standpoints. Results: For the topical treatment of skin disease, novel vehicles (e.g., stabilized, supersaturated systems and liposomal formulations) have led to dramatic improvements in local drug bioavailability. Transdermal delivery of drugs for systemic effect, though limited in terms of the number of compounds, is perhaps the most commercially successful (in terms of the number of products) of the controlled release technologies. Considerable activity continues to enhance drug delivery (and hence to extend the range of drugs for which transdermal delivery can be used). Existing patches use formulations that contain solvents and adjuvants capable of reducing the barrier function of the skin. Much effort is directed at iontophoresis (electrically enhanced transport), particularly for small peptides that are difficult to administer by other routes. “Reverse iontophoresis” may allow the extraction of glucose (without skin puncture) so that continuous, noninvasive monitoring of blood sugar in diabetics approaches realization. Conclusion: In the not too distant future, the skin may also play a role not only in drug delivery, but also with respect to measurements in clinical chemistry.

Abstract
The scientific community and general public have been exposed to a series of achievements attributed to a new area of knowledge: Nanotechnology. Both abroad and in Brazil, funding agencies have launched programs aimed at encouraging this type of research. Indeed, for many who come into contact with this subject it will be clear the key role that chemical knowledge will play in the evolution of this subject. And even more, will see that it is a science in which the basic structure is formed by distilling different areas of inter-and multidisciplinary knowledge along the lines of new paradigms. In this article, we attempt to clarify the foundations of nanotechnology, and demonstrate their contribution to new advances in dermatology as well as medicine in general. Nanotechnology is clearly the future.

Abstract
Aim: The research traces development of nanovesicles to attain enhanced transdermal delivery of felodipine and also investigates parameters for optimization of variable membrane compositions containing soya- and egg lecithin and edge activator. Materials and Methods: Rotary evaporation sonication method was employed to obtain tranfersomal formulation that was characterized for vesicle shape and size, polydispersity index (PDI), zeta potential, entrapment and loading efficiency, deformability index and in vitro skin permeation. Results: Spherical nanovesicles of 75.71 ± 5.4 nm with PDI 0.228 and zeta potential of −49.8 were adjudged as the best formulation (MF8). MF8 displayed maximum entrapment and loading efficiency with a high deformability index of 119.68. In vitro permeation across rat skin by MF8 reported 256% enhancement in permeation (flux = 23.72 ± 0.64) when compared with transdermal control formulation and followed zero order kinetics (Case-II). Pharmacokinetic studies revealed that transdermal administration, in contrast to oral delivery provided relatively constant, sustained blood concentration with minimal plasma fluctuation, rapid and prolonged peak time. The relative bioavailability of felodipine was found 358.42% versus oral administration that was well supported by the outcomes of confocal laser scanning microscopic studies that suggested rapid permeation of drugs to across dermal layers. Conclusion: The results conclude that composition variation and method of preparation elicited significant effect on the vesicle characteristic and proved the transcendency of felodipine loaded transfersomes.

Abstract
A non-invasive, intra/transcutaneous immunisation of mice with a suitable combination of tetanus toxoid, ultradeformable vesicle (Transfersome®) carrier, and monophosphoryl lipid A adjuvant targets immuno-competent cells in a body and can protect 100% of the tested mice against an otherwise lethal (50×LD50) parenteral tetanus toxin challenge. The late immune response to the epicutaneously applied tetanus toxoid in such vesicles consists chiefly of circulating IgG1 and IgG2b antibody isotypes, indicative of a specific Th2 cellular response bias. Immunisations by subcutaneous injections moreover protect 100% of mice against a similar, otherwise lethal, dose of tetanus toxin. However, the immune response to transcutaneous and invasive immunisation differs. The latter elicits mainly IgG1 and IgG2b as well as IgG2a antibody isotypes, indicative of a mixed Th1/Th2 response. The cytokine response of the intra/transcutaneously and subcutaneously immunised mice reflects the difference in the organ-specific manner. IFN-γ concentration is appreciably increased in the draining lymph nodes and IL-10 in spleen. Since tetanus is a neutral antigen, both the Th1-specific IFN-γ and the Th-2 specific-IL-10 are observable.

Abstract
Miconazole nitrate is a widely used antifungal agent, but its use in topical formulations is not efficacious because deep seated fungal infections are difficult to treat with conventional topical formulation. Miconazole nitrate loaded ultraflexible liposomes have been prepared and their topical performance has been compared with conventional liposomes containing miconazole nitrate. Various ultraflexible liposomal formulations were prepared and extensively characterized for vesicular shape, size, entrapment efficiency, degree of deformability and in-vitro skin permeation through rat skin. Higher rate of drug transfer across the skin with ultraflexible liposomal formulations of miconazole nitrate suggests that the drug in its lipo-solubilized state might have gained facilitated entry into the tough barrier consisting of subcutaneous. In-vivo study showed better antifungal activity as compared to traditional liposomes and plain drug solution. This was confirmed through fluoroscence microscopy. It is concluded that prepared ultraflexible liposomes can facilitate improved and localized drug action in the skin, thus providing a better option to deal with deep seated skin problems.

Abstract
BACKGROUND (+)-catechin, as the most common catechin isomer, is recognized to be an antioxidant which benefits the skin in many ways. The purpose of the present study was to prepare and evaluate a suitable liposomal delivery systems for (+)-catechin topical application. METHODS In this study, catechin-loaded conventional liposomal delivery system, deformable conventional liposomal delivery system and deformable liposomes prepared by reverse-phase evaporation (REV) method were compared. The three systems were characterized for liposome particle size, zeta-potential, entrapment efficiency, drug release, permeability across porcine skin and catechin deposition in the skin. RESULTS It was revealed that the size of deformable conventional liposomes before freeze-drying and deformable REV liposomes after freeze-drying range from 335.6 ± 71.7 nm to 551.1 ± 53.4 nm, respectively, which were considered to be suitable for skin delivery. The deformable REV liposomes had a higher aqueous volume and thus were able to entrap greater amounts of hydrophilic (+)-catechin (50.0 ± 5.9%) compared to conventional (30.0 ± 3.8%) and deformable conventional liposomes (36.1 ± 4.6%). All liposomal formulations exhibited a prolonged catechin release. Compared to deformable liposomes, the REV deformable liposomes showed a significantly better deposition of (+)-catechin while catechin solution did not permeate into the porcine ear skin. CONCLUSION Among all formulations studied, deformable REV liposomes were considered to be favorable for catechin topical delivery.
