This study found that combining lecithin reverse wormlike micelles with isopropyl myristate enhanced the skin permeability of a model hydrophilic drug, facilitated by interactions with sebum in hair follicles.

This research investigated aqueous alginate-based hydrogels for delivering minoxidil and reported that using hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) with molar substitution 0.65 significantly enhanced minoxidil's solubility and skin permeability without damaging the epidermis, suggesting potential as an alternative to commercial minoxidil solutions.

This review highlights the promising potential of microemulsions and nanoemulsions in (trans)dermal drug delivery, noting a gap in understanding their distinct mechanisms and composition-related effects on skin permeability, while emphasizing the limited clarity on mesostructures and cosolvent impacts.

In this study, brief ultrasound exposure reduced the follicular contribution to hydrocortisone absorption while significantly increasing total skin permeability, likely due to removal of the upper stratum corneum.

This study found that paracellular transport significantly contributes to the intestinal permeability of minoxidil, suggesting its limited suitability as a Biopharmaceutics Classification System reference drug due to potential variability.

This study found that drug delivery through human scalp skin may be more effective for lipophilic and hydrophilic drugs compared to abdominal skin, highlighting the potential of intrafollicular delivery methods.

This study evaluated new aqueous gel formulations of minoxidil without irritants and found that the calcium alginate gel showed the best performance in terms of drug release and skin permeation.

This study developed cilostazol-loaded formulations for nose-to-brain delivery, finding that these formulations improved cilostazol's bioavailability by enhancing solubility, absorption, and permeability, achieving nearly 100% drug release in vitro within 2 hours.

This study concluded that an adapalene nanohydrogel containing Tween-80 could be a promising and stable topical treatment option for acne vulgaris due to enhanced skin permeability and stability compared to other formulations.
