Adv Drug Deliv Rev 2024; 210:115326. [PMID: 38692457 DOI: 10.1016/j.addr.2024.115326] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2024] [Revised: 04/05/2024] [Accepted: 04/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/03/2024]
Abstract
Transdermal administration remains an active research and development area as an alternative route for long-acting drug delivery. It avoids major drawbacks of conventional oral (gastrointestinal side effects, low drug bioavailability, and need for multiple dosing) or parenteral routes (invasiveness, pain, and psychological stress and bio-hazardous waste generated from needles), thereby increasing patient appeal and compliance. This review focuses on the current state of long-acting transdermal drug delivery, including adhesive patches, microneedles, and molecularly imprinted polymeric systems. Each subsection describes an approach including key considerations in formulation development, design, and process parameters with schematics. An overview of commercially available conventional (adhesive) patches for long-acting drug delivery (longer than 24 h), the reservoir- and matrix-type systems under preclinical evaluation, as well as the advanced transdermal formulations, such as the core-shell, nanoformulations-incorporated and stimuli-responsive microneedles, and 3D-printed and molecularly imprinted polymers that are in development, is also provided. Finally, we elaborated on translational aspects, challenges in patch formulation development, and future directions for the clinical advancement of new long-acting transdermal products.

Abstract
Given the limitations of conventional invasive vaccines, such as the requirement for a cold chain system and trained personnel, needle-based injuries, and limited immunogenicity, non-invasive vaccines have gained significant attention. Although numerous approaches for formulating and administrating non-invasive vaccines have emerged, each of them faces its own challenges associated with vaccine bioavailability, toxicity, and other issues. To overcome such limitations, researchers have created novel supplementary materials and delivery systems. The goal of this review article is to provide vaccine formulation researchers with the most up-to-date information on vaccine formulation and the immunological mechanisms available, to identify the technical challenges associated with the commercialization of non-invasive vaccines, and to guide future research and development efforts.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Topical drug delivery is highly attractive and yet faces tissue barrier challenges. Different physical and chemical methods have been explored to facilitate topical drug delivery. AREAS COVERED Ablative fractional laser (AFL) has been widely explored by the scientific community and dermatologists to facilitate topical drug delivery since its advent less than two decades ago. This review introduces the major efforts in exploration of AFL to facilitate transdermal, transungual, and transocular drug delivery in preclinical and clinical settings. EXPERT OPINION Most of the preclinical and clinical studies find AFL to be safe and highly effective to facilitate topical drug delivery with little restriction on physicochemical properties of drugs. Clinical studies support AFL to enhance drug efficacy, shorten treatment time, reduce pain, improve cosmetic outcomes, reduce systemic drug exposure, and improve safety. Considering most of the clinical trials so far involved a small sample size and were in early phase, future trials will benefit from enrolling a large group of patients for thorough evaluation of the safety and efficacy of AFL-assisted topical drug delivery. The manufacturing of small and less costly AFL devices will also facilitate the translation of AFL-assisted topical drug delivery.

Abstract
Diabetes is a metabolic disease caused by insufficient insulin secretion, action or resistance, in which insulin plays an irreplaceable role in the its treatment. However, traditional administration of insulin requires continuous subcutaneous injections, which is accompanied by inevitable pain, local tissue necrosis and hypoglycemia. Herein, a green and safe nanoformulation with unique permeability composed of insulin and ginsenosides is developed for transdermal delivery to reduce above-mentioned side effects. The ginsenosides are self-assembled to form shells to protect insulin from hydrolysis and improve the stability of nanoparticles. The nanoparticles can temporarily permeate into cells in 5 min and promptly excrete from the cell for deeper penetration. The insulin permeation is related to the disorder of stratum corneum lipids caused by ginsenosides. The skin acting as drug depot mantains the nanoparticles released continuously, therefore the body keeps euglycemic for 48 h. Encouraged by its long-lasting and effective transdermal therapy, ginsenosides-based nano-system is expected to deliver other less permeable drugs like proteins and peptides and benefit those who are with chronic diseases that need long-term medication.

Recent Biomedical Approaches for Chitosan Based Materials as Drug Delivery Nanocarriers. Pharmaceutics 2021; 13:pharmaceutics13040587. [PMID: 33924046 PMCID: PMC8073149 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics13040587] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2021] [Revised: 04/13/2021] [Accepted: 04/16/2021] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
In recent decades, drug delivery systems (DDSs) based on nanotechnology have been attracting substantial interest in the pharmaceutical field, especially those developed based on natural polymers such as chitosan, cellulose, starch, collagen, gelatin, alginate and elastin. Nanomaterials based on chitosan (CS) or chitosan derivatives are broadly investigated as promising nanocarriers due to their biodegradability, good biocompatibility, non-toxicity, low immunogenicity, great versatility and beneficial biological effects. CS, either alone or as composites, are suitable substrates in the fabrication of different types of products like hydrogels, membranes, beads, porous foams, nanoparticles, in-situ gel, microparticles, sponges and nanofibers/scaffolds. Currently, the CS based nanocarriers are intensely studied as controlled and targeted drug release systems for different drugs (anti-inflammatory, antibiotic, anticancer etc.) as well as for proteins/peptides, growth factors, vaccines, small DNA (DNAs) and short interfering RNA (siRNA). This review targets the latest biomedical approaches for CS based nanocarriers such as nanoparticles (NPs) nanofibers (NFs), nanogels (NGs) and chitosan coated liposomes (LPs) and their potential applications for medical and pharmaceutical fields. The advantages and challenges of reviewed CS based nanocarriers for different routes of administration (oral, transmucosal, pulmonary and transdermal) with reference to classical formulations are also emphasized.

Abstract
Vaccine delivery technologies are mainly designed to minimally invasively deliver vaccines to target tissues with little or no adjuvant effects. This study presents a prototype laser-based powder delivery (LPD) with inherent adjuvant effects for more immunogenic vaccination without incorporation of external adjuvants. LPD takes advantage of aesthetic ablative fractional laser to generate skin microchannels to support high-efficient vaccine delivery and at the same time creates photothermal stress in microchannel-surrounding tissues to boost vaccination. LPD could significantly enhance pandemic influenza 2009 H1N1 vaccine immunogenicity and protective efficacy as compared with needle-based intradermal delivery in murine models. The ablative fractional laser was found to induce host DNA release, activate NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 inflammasome, and stimulate IL-1β release despite their dispensability for laser adjuvant effects. Instead, the ablative fractional laser activated MyD88 to mediate its adjuvant effects by potentiation of antigen uptake, maturation, and migration of dendritic cells. LPD also induced minimal local or systemic adverse reactions due to the microfractional and sustained vaccine delivery. Our data support the development of self-adjuvanted vaccine delivery technologies by intentional induction of well-controlled tissue stress to alert innate immune systems for more immunogenic vaccination.
