October 2018 in “InTech eBooks” The document discussed the potential of ethosomes, which are ethanolic vesicular carriers, for treating androgenic alopecia by delivering drugs directly to the scalp's pilosebaceous unit. Ethosomes enhanced drug permeation across the skin, encapsulating both hydrophilic and lipophilic drugs with high entrapment efficiencies (~90%) and stability over long periods. They were found to be generally safe and cost-effective, though limited to transdermal applications and could cause allergic reactions in some patients. Studies showed that finasteride-loaded ethosomes effectively delivered the drug, preventing testosterone conversion to DHT, and ethosomes containing herbal extracts showed no toxicity and maintained stability for 4 years. The authors concluded that ethosomes are a promising drug delivery system for treating androgenic alopecia.
