Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the applications of ultrasound-mediated transdermal drug delivery.
  • To highlight the potential of sonophoresis in various medical fields.
  • To discuss the future prospects of ultrasound-assisted drug transport.

Main Methods:

  • Ultrasound is applied to enhance the movement of drugs across intact skin.
  • The mechanism may involve disruption of stratum corneum lipids.
  • Research explores applications in diverse therapeutic areas.

Main Results:

  • Sonophoresis facilitates drug absorption through the skin.
  • Potential applications include cutaneous vaccination, drug delivery for Alzheimer's disease, and bone disease treatment.
  • Ultrasound-mediated transport may revolutionize transdermal drug delivery systems.

Conclusions:

  • Sonophoresis offers a promising approach for transdermal drug delivery.
  • Future applications in biotechnology and genetic engineering are vast.
  • Ultrasound-assisted drug transport may become a standard method for drug administration.
