TLDR Nanospanlastics are effective in targeted drug delivery for chronic diseases, improving skin conditions, treating hair loss, and increasing drug absorption.
Nanospanlastics, a rapidly expanding field in nanotechnology, are being used for targeted drug delivery, particularly for the treatment of chronic human diseases. Clinical tests on psoriatic patients using SNs-selected fluidized preparation showed improvements in skin conditions, suggesting that these flexible nanovesicles have a synergistic effect on melanin formation and collagen synthesis. The study also found that sodium valproate nanospanlastics could be an effective method for treating androgenic alopecia, as they increase the permeation of celecoxib at the site of inflammation while avoiding its side effects. Additionally, the loaded epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) spanlastics composition was found to be an efficient nanocarrier for improving EGCG bioavailability. The future of nanodrug delivery and nanomedicines appears promising due to these advancements.
