A Rapid Assessment Approach for Skin Stratum-Targeted Drug Delivery Systems Using Mass Spectrometry Imaging and Spatial Clustering. [PDF]
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 ...

Ethosomes as Promising Transdermal Delivery Systems of Natural‐Derived Active Compounds
Ethosomes are versatile drug delivery systems, particularly suitable for topical applications involving skin barrier penetration. Their high ethanol content strongly improves flexibility and deformability, allowing squeezing through the intercellular spaces without any drug leakage; moreover; ethanol increases the fluidity of the lipids of the cell ...

Update on diagnosis and treatment of actinic keratosis
Abstract Actinic keratosis (AK) is a relatively common skin condition occurring due to chronic sun‐exposure, primarily affecting fair skin. Most dermatologists consider it an incipient malignancy due to its risk of full‐blown malignant transformation to squamous cell carcinoma.

Macrophage targeting of nitazoxanide-loaded transethosomal gel in cutaneous leishmaniasis
Topical delivery is preferable over systemic delivery for cutaneous leishmaniasis, because of its easy administration, reduced systemic adverse effects and low cost. Nitazoxanide (NTZ) has broad-spectrum activity against various parasites and has the potential to avoid drug resistance developed by enzymatic mutations.
