research Effect of Charge Carrier Lipid on Skin Penetration, Retention, and Hair Growth of Topically Applied Finasteride-Containing Liposomes

11 citations , April 2011 in “Biomolecules & Therapeutics”

This study found that finasteride-containing anionic liposomes enhanced skin retention and had moderate hair growth efficacy, suggesting potential for treating androgenetic alopecia with reduced systemic side effects.

research Enhancement of Percutaneous Absorption of Finasteride by Cosolvents, Cosurfactant, and Surfactants

24 citations , November 2009 in “Pharmaceutical Development and Technology”

This study found that Transcutol P significantly enhanced the skin penetration of Finasteride in vitro, while cationic and anionic surfactants did not show such effects.

research Liposomes in Dermatology Today

140 citations , January 2009 in “JEADV. Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology/Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology”

This review discusses the application of liposomes in dermatology, highlighting their therapeutic value for drug stabilization, skin penetration enhancement, and treatment of hair follicle-associated disorders, but reports no new clinical results.

research Liposomes And Niosomes As Potential Carriers For Dermal Delivery Of Minoxidil

85 citations , January 2007 in “Journal of Drug Targeting”

This study found that liposomal formulations improved minoxidil delivery to skin layers compared to niosomes and a control solution, suggesting enhanced potential for topical hair loss treatment.

research Enhancement of Follicular Delivery of Finasteride by Liposomes and Niosomes

127 citations , June 2006 in “International Journal of Pharmaceutics”

This research found that liquid-state liposomes and niosomes may enhance finasteride delivery to pilosebaceous units in hamsters more effectively than gel-state vesicles or hydroalcoholic solution.

research Development and Characterization of Minoxidil-Loaded Liposomal System for Delivery to Pilosebaceous Units

34 citations , March 2004 in “Journal of Liposome Research”

This study found that neutral liposomes were most effective at delivering minoxidil into pilosebaceous units compared to other tested formulations.
