Abstract
The barrier function of the skin is primarily determined by its outermost layer, the Stratum Corneum (SC). The SC consists of corneocytes embedded in a lipid matrix composed mainly of ceramides, cholesterol, and free fatty acids in equimolar proportions and is organised in a complex lamellar structure with different periodicities and lateral packings. This matrix provides a diffusion pathway across the SC for bioactive compounds that are administered to the skin. In this regard, and as the skin administration route has grown in popularity, there has been an increase in the use of lipid mixtures that closely resemble the SC lipid matrix, either for a deeper biophysical understanding or for pharmaceutical and cosmetic purposes. This review focuses on a systematic analysis of the main outcomes of using lipid mixtures as SC lipid matrix models for pharmaceutical and cosmetic purposes. Thus, a methodical evaluation of the main outcomes based on the SC structure is performed, as well as the main recent developments in finding suitable new in vitro tools for permeation testing based on lipid models.

Abstract
Skin damage caused by excessive UV radiation has gradually become one of the most prevalent skin diseases. Collagen has gradually found applications in the treatment of UV-damaged skin; however, their high molecular weight greatly limits their capacity to permeate the skin barrier and repair the damaged skin. Nano collagen has garnered growing attentions in the mimicking of collagen; while the investigation of its skin permeability and wound-healing capability remains vacancies. Herein, we have for the first time created a highly biocompatible and bioactive transdermal nano collagen demonstrating remarkable transdermal capacity and repair efficacy for UV-damaged skin. The transdermal nano collagen exhibited a stable triple-helix structure, effectively promoting the adhesion and proliferation of fibroblasts. Notably, the transdermal nano collagen displayed exceptional penetration capabilities, permeating fibroblast and healthy skin. Combo evaluations revealed that the transdermal nano collagen contributed to recovering the intensity and TEWL values of UV-damaged skin to normal level. Histological analysis further indicated that transdermal nano collagen significantly accelerated the repair of damaged skin by promoting the collagen regeneration and fibroblasts activation. This highly biocompatible and bioactive transdermal nano collagen provides a novel substituted strategy for the transdermal absorption of collagen, indicating great potential applications in cosmetics and dermatology.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To develop and evaluate a novel human stratum corneum (SC) mimetic phospholipid vesicle-based permeation assay (PVPASC) model for in vitro permeation studies. SIGNIFICANCE Due to the increasing restrictions on the use of human and animal skins, artificial skin models have attracted substantial interest in pharmaceuticals and cosmetic industries. In this study, a modified PVPASC model containing both SC lipids and proteins was developed. METHODS The PVPASC model was optimized by altering the lipid composition and adding keratin in the formulation of large liposomes. The barrier properties were monitored by measuring the electrical resistance (ER) and permeability of Rhodamine B (RB). The modified PVPASC model was characterized in terms of the surface topography, solvent influence and storage stability. The permeation studies of the active components in Compound Nanxing Zhitong Plaster (CNZP) were performed to examine the capability of PVPASC in the application of skin penetration. RESULTS The ER and Papp values of RB obtained from the optimized PVPASC model indicated a similar barrier property to porcine ear skin. Scanning electron microscope analysis demonstrated a mimic 'brick-and-mortar' structure. The PVPASC model can be stored for three weeks at -20 °C, and withstand the presence of different receptor medium for 24 h. The permeation studies of the active components demonstrated a good correlation (r2 = 0.9136) of Papp values between the drugs' permeation through the PVPASC model and porcine ear skin. CONCLUSION Keratin contained composite phospholipid vesicle-based permeation assay models have been proven to be potential skin tools in topical/transdermal permeation studies.

Abstract
μ-Conotoxin CnIIIC (conotoxin, CTX)-loaded chitosan nanoparticles (CTX-NPs) were prepared using the ionic cross-linking method. The CTX-NPs were spherical and well with a polydispersity index of 0.292 ± 0.039, drug loading efficiency of 25.9 ± 1.2%, and encapsulation efficiency of 95.6 ± 1.3%. In vitro release studies showed that the release behavior of CTX-NPs in a pH 5.0 acetate buffer followed zero-order kinetics. In vitro transdermal experiments using Franz diffusion cells mounted with mouse abdominal skin demonstrated that the cumulative intradermal deposition amount of CTX per unit area in 8 h (D8) and permeability coefficient (Pf) of CTX loaded on CTX-NPs were 2.30- and 7.71-times that of the CTX solution. In vivo transdermal experiments in mice showed that the amount of CTX deposited in the skin after 8 h of CTX saline administration was significantly lower than that of CTX deposited in the skin after administration of CTX-NPs. In vitro fluorescence labeling transdermal studies through Franz diffusion cells mounted with mouse abdominal skin indicated that CTX-NPs aggregated at hair follicles. Skin irritation tests in mice indicated that the irritation due to CTX-NPs was negligible. The cytotoxicity experiment showed that the viability of Balb/c 3T3 cells with CTX-NPs containing 230 μg/mL (0.08 μM) CTX was greater than 75%. CTX-NPs increase intradermal deposition of CTX by accumulating in hair follicles, which has positive implications for transdermal penetration of CTX.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of the present study was to explore the feasibility of transdermal delivery of metformin, a commonly used oral antidiabetic drug, by ionic liquid (IL) technology. METHODS Metformin hydrochloride (MetHCl) was first transformed into three kinds of ILs with different counterions. The physicochemical properties of the obtained ILs were characterized in depth. The simulation of stable configuration and calculation of interaction energies were conducted based on density functional theory (DFT). Skin-PAMPA was used to evaluate the intrinsic transdermal permeation properties. The cytotoxicity assay of these ILs was conducted using HaCaT cells to evaluate the toxicity to skin. These metformin ILs were then formulated into transdermal patch, and the transdermal potential was further evaluated using in vitro dissolution test and skin permeation assay. Finally, the pharmacokinetic profiles of these metformin IL-containing patches were determined. RESULTS Among all the three Met ILs, metformin dihexyl sulfosuccinate (MetDH) with proper overall physiochemical and biological properties demonstrated the highest relative bioavailability. Metformin docusate (MetD) with the highest lipophilicity and intrinsic transdermal permeability exhibited the most significant sustained release profile in vivo. Both MetDH and MetD were the promising candidates for further clinical investigations. CONCLUSIONS Overall, the properties of ILs were closely related to the structures of counterion. IL technology provided the opportunities to finely tune the solid-state and biological properties of Metformin and facilitated the successful delivery by transdermal route.

Abstract
Stratum corneum (SC) represents the outermost layer of the skin, being an effective barrier against the entry of molecules and pathogens. Skin research has given particular focus to SC as it hampers effective drug delivery for cosmetical and therapeutical purposes. Following recommendations to develop alternative models to animals, the SC isolated from skin obtained from medical procedures or from pigs has gained extensive attention. Yet, there is still missing a standard and simple procedure accepted within the scientific community to avoid application of different isolated SC methodologies, a fact that may hamper progress in skin research. Considering this challenge, the present study evaluated different experimental conditions aiming to establish a useful and sustainable solvent-free procedure for the obtention of a realistic SC model. The studied trypsin digestion parameters included concentration, incubation period and temperature. Isolated SC was characterized using histological analysis and calcein’s permeability, after the procedure and during a 6-week storage period. Data recommend trypsin digestion at 4 °C for 20 h as the most effective procedure to isolate SC from pig ear skin. This work contributes to standardize the SC isolation procedure, and to obtain a valuable and reliable SC mimetic model for skin drug development.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (IL) technology provides a useful platform to achieve the topical delivery of therapeutic agents, because of its capability to improve skin permeability. While the majority of the researches aimed to achieve local action by topical IL delivery, systemic action of therapeutic agents by local topical application has rarely been reported. In the present work, Gliclazide (GLI), a second-generation sulfonylurea drug was transformed into an IL with tributyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium for the first time. The physicochemical properties of this IL were systematically characterized by DSC, TGA, FT-IR, NMR, and HPLC. The transdermal patch based on this IL was further prepared using DURO-TAK®87-4098. The fabricated gliclazide based ionic liquid [P6,6,6,14][GLI] transdermal patch displayed satisfactory in vitro and in vivo performance. The [P6,6,6,14][GLI] patch released 88.17% of the loaded drug within a 3-day period in the in vitro dissolution test, confirming its sustained release property. Meanwhile, GLI effectively permeated through the artificial skin from [P6,6,6,14][GLI] transdermal patch in the in vitro skin permeation test, with the permeation rate and lag time of 16.571 ± 0.328 μg/cm2/h and 3.027 ± 0.154 h respectively. The [P6,6,6,14][GLI] transdermal patch showed favorable PK profile in rat as compared with GLI oral suspension. The relative bioavailability of GLI reached 92.06% of GLI oral suspension, while the Cmax was significantly reduced. Most importantly, [P6,6,6,14][GLI] transdermal patch demonstrated superior hypoglycemic effect to the oral suspension both in the fasted and fed condition, confirming the feasibility of systemic action by local topical delivery of IL. In addition, the [P6,6,6,14][GLI] transdermal patch caused no skin irritation based on histopathological analysis.

Abstract
New liposomes modified with pyrrolidinium surfactants containing a hydroxyethyl fragment (CnPB, n = 12, 14, 16) were prepared for transdermal delivery of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. In order to obtain the optimal composition, the surfactant/lipid molar ratio (0.02/1; 0.029/1; 0.04/1) and the amphiphile hydrocarbon tail length were varied. Rhodamine B was loaded in all formulations, while meloxicam and ketoprofen in selected ones. For liposomes studied the hydrodynamic diameter was in the range of 80-130 nm, the zeta potential ranged from +35 to +50 mV, EE was 75-99%. Liposome modification leads to a prolonged release of the rhodamine B (up to 10-12 h) and faster release of non-steroidal drugs (up to 7-8 h) in vitro. The ability to cross the skin barrier using Franz cells was investigated for liposomal meloxicam and ketoprofen. The total amount of meloxicam and ketoprofen passed through the Strat-M® membranes during 51 h was 51-114 μg/cm2 and 87-105 μg/cm2 respectively. The evaluation of transdermal diffusion ex vivo showed that total amount of liposomal ketoprofen passed through the skin during 51 h was 140-162 μg/cm2. Liposomes modified with C16PB were found as the most effective inflammation reducing formulation in the carrageenan edema model of rat paw.

Abstract
A lipid-based permeation assay (PVPASC) with a lipid composition similar to Human stratum corneum layer has been previously reported. The aim of this study was to further characterize the PVPASC model in the presence of co-solvents and to determine its applicability to evaluate drug permeability with drug-loaded nanoparticles. Data obtained from PVPASC model were compared with results from isolated SC from pig ear skin. The characterization revealed that the PVPASC barriers retain integrity and calcein permeability when stored up to 12 weeks at -20 °C, in the presence of different co-solvents, and under a skin environment pH range. The permeation profile of calcein in the lipid-based barrier correlated well with data obtained for the isolated SC model and revealed higher reproducibility. Cyclosporine A (CsA) was selected as a model drug, given its relevance for skin-inflammatory diseases and two types of lipid nanoparticles were used to assess the permeability of the PVPASC model. It was possible to distinguish the permeability between free and nanoparticles' loaded cyclosporine. Data obtained with CsA-loaded nanoformulations indicated a higher permeation rate than the obtained for the solid lipid nanoparticles or the free drug. The PVPASC model could be applied as a cost-effective alternative for skin early drug development.

Abstract
: The transdermal route of drugs has received increased attention in recent years due to numerous advantages over the oral and injectable routes, such as avoidance of the hepatic metabolism, protection of drugs from the gastrointestinal tract, sustained drug delivery, and good patient compliance. The assessment of ex vivo permeation during the pharmaceutical development process helps in understanding the product quality and performance of a transdermal delivery system. Generally, excised human skin relevant to the application site or animal skin is recommended for ex vivo permeation studies. However, the limited availability of the human skin and ethical issues surrounding the use of animal skin rendered these models less attractive in the permeation study. In the last three decades, enormous efforts have been put into developing artificial membranes and 3D cultured human skin models as surrogates to the human skin. This manuscript provides an insight on the European Medicines Agency (EMA) guidelines for permeation studies and the parameters affected when using Franz diffusion cells in the permeation study. The need and possibilities for skin alternatives, such as artificially cultured human skin models, parallel artificial membrane permeability assays (PAMPA), and artificial membranes for penetration and permeation studies, are comprehensively discussed.

Abstract
Cell-free permeation systems are gaining interest in drug discovery and development as tools to obtain a reliable prediction of passive intestinal absorption without the disadvantages associated with cell- or tissue-based permeability profiling. Depending on the composition of the barrier, cell-free permeation systems are classified into two classes including (i) biomimetic barriers which are constructed from (phospho)lipids and (ii) non-biomimetic barriers containing dialysis membranes. This review provides an overview of the currently available cell-free permeation systems including Parallel Artificial Membrane Permeability Assay (PAMPA), Phospholipid Vesicle-based Permeation Assay (PVPA), Permeapad®, and artificial membrane based systems (e.g. the artificial membrane insert system (AMI-system)) in terms of their barrier composition as well as their predictive capacity in relation to well-characterized intestinal permeation systems. Given the potential loss of integrity of cell-based permeation barriers in the presence of food components or pharmaceutical excipients, the superior robustness of cell-free barriers makes them suitable for the combined dissolution/permeation evaluation of formulations. While cell-free permeation systems are mostly applied for exploring intestinal absorption, they can also be used to evaluate non-oral drug delivery by adjusting the composition of the membrane.
