    Ingenol mebutate (IM) is a novel drug that was developed for the treatment of actinic keratosis (AK). The drug works by a dual mechanism of action -- a rapid induction of cell death by necrosis along with a delayed neutrophil-mediated cellular cytotoxicity response.¹ Currently, IM is available as a 0.015% or 0.05% topical gel and has only been FDA-approved for the treatment of actinic keratosis. However, IM has also been extensively used off-label, and found to be efficacious in the treatment of multiple other skin disorders. In this review, we discuss the current literature that provides evidence for the successful use of ingenol mebutate as treatment for dermatologic disorders beyond actinic keratosis.

    Bioavailability Enhancement: Drug Permeability Enhancement

    Body:After oral administration, poor permeability often limits the rate at which drugs are absorbed through the intestinal epithelium. Enhancing drug permeability is crucial for effective therapy, and several strategies have been developed to overcome this challenge.One effective strategy involves the use of lipid-based formulations. These formulations enhance dissolution and solubility, targeting physiological mechanisms to increase drug absorption. This includes stimulating bile salt...

    Olefin Metathesis Polymerization: Acyclic Diene Metathesis (ADMET)

    Acyclic diene metathesis polymerization or ADMET polymerization involves cross-metathesis of terminal dienes, such as 1,8-nonadiene, to give linear unsaturated polymer and ethylene. As ADMET is a reversible process, the formed ethylene gas must be removed from the reaction mixture to complete the polymerization process.
    Similar to cross-metathesis, ADMET also involves the formation of metallacyclobutane intermediate by [2+2] cycloaddition of one of the double bonds of a terminal diene with...

    Drug Delivery: Enteral Route

    The enteral drug administration involves three primary routes: oral, sublingual, and buccal. Oral ingestion is the most prevalent, safe, economical, and convenient method for drug administration. However, it has certain drawbacks, including limited absorption due to the drug's low water solubility or poor membrane permeability, possible emesis from GI mucosa irritation, destruction of drugs by digestive enzymes or low gastric pH, and irregular absorption along with food or other drugs.

    Bioavailability Enhancement: Drug Stability Enhancement and GI Retention

    Body:Improving a drug's stability in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is paramount for enhancing its bioavailability and therapeutic effectiveness. Various strategies are employed to protect the drug from the harsh gastric milieu and to ensure its release and absorption at the desired site within the GI tract.Polymer coatings are one such method used to shield drugs from the stomach's acidic environment. By preventing premature drug release, these coatings improve the bioavailability of unstable...
