TLDR Transethosomes improve drug delivery through the skin and show promise for treating various conditions.
The review provides a comprehensive analysis of transethosomes, ultra-deformable vesicular systems that enhance transdermal drug delivery by improving skin penetration, solubility, absorption, and stability of therapeutics. These systems combine the benefits of transferosomes and ethosomes, allowing for the encapsulation of both hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs, and are applicable in various administration routes, including ophthalmic and transvaginal. Transethosomes have shown promise in treating conditions like psoriasis, skin cancer, and fungal infections, with studies demonstrating improved drug release and therapeutic efficacy. Despite challenges such as stability issues and potential skin irritation, transethosomes offer a versatile and scalable solution for enhanced drug delivery, with ongoing research exploring their broader applications beyond transdermal delivery.
