Transdermal drug delivery faces challenges with the skin barrier. Penetration enhancers are crucial for improving drug absorption through the skin, overcoming these barriers effectively.

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacology
  • Materials Science
  • Biophysics

Context:

  • Transdermal drug delivery offers advantages like avoiding first-pass metabolism and enabling rapid therapeutic intervention.
  • The primary challenge in transdermal drug delivery is the inherent resistance of the epidermal barrier.
  • Limited molecules possess the ideal physicochemical properties for efficient transdermal permeation.

Purpose:

  • This review details the essential properties of ideal penetration enhancers.
  • It examines the chemical structures of commonly utilized enhancers.
  • The review explores potential interactions between enhancers and other formulation components for transdermal therapeutic systems (TTS).

Summary:

  • Penetration enhancers are substances that significantly facilitate drug passage across the epidermal barrier.
