A Rapid Assessment Approach for Skin Stratum‐Targeted Drug Delivery Systems Using Mass Spectrometry Imaging and Spatial Clustering

Small Science, Volume 5, Issue 8, August 2025.
This study presents a novel method for rapidly evaluating dermal drug delivery systems (DDSs). Using mass spectrometry imaging and automated data analysis, it visualizes drug distribution within skin layers in under 10 min. Tested with three nanoscale DDSs for antifungal terbinafine, the approach reveals key differences in drug permeation depth and ...
