This article reviews the advantages of emulgel as a topical drug delivery system for hydrophobic drugs but provides no new findings.

This study explored the use of SOD-loaded niosomes as carriers to enhance the delivery of superoxide dismutase into hair follicles on guinea pig skin, finding that niosomes improved SOD penetration and preservation compared to free SOD, suggesting their potential as effective delivery vehicles.

This research explores developing liposomal formulations to enhance the delivery of difficult-to-absorb agents directly to hair follicles and sebaceous glands, with minoxidil and plasmid DNA as study molecules.

In this study, cinnamic acid in solution form showed strong antifungal activity against Microsporum canis, but when incorporated into hydrogels, the acid's diffusion and resulting antifungal performance decreased, though it maintained effectiveness for potential prolonged exposure.

In this study, curcumin was successfully encapsulated in ethyl cellulose and its blend with methyl cellulose, enhancing its skin penetration efficacy through o/w and w/o lotions compared to water suspensions.

This study found that an anhydrous gel formulation containing sertaconazole nitrate effectively penetrated the stratum corneum for treating fungal infections without causing irritation.

This study found that vesicles formed with behenyltrimethylammonium chloride, stearic acid, and hinokitiol significantly improved skin permeation of hinokitiol in vitro, which may aid in hair growth promotion.

This study developed a new finasteride release system using chitosan-based nanoniosomes, observing that 70% of the drug was released over ten days in vitro, suggesting potential for prostate cancer prevention.

This study reports that fluconazole emulgel formulations, using jojoba oil and liquid paraffin, showed effective drug release and improved characteristics for treating skin diseases compared to traditional oral formulations.

This study in South Sulawesi Province developed a shampoo using ethanol extract from Pondoh salak fruit peel, which met physical stability tests and demonstrated strong inhibitory effects against Staphylococcus epidermidis and Candida albicans, with formulations ranging from 10% to 20% concentrations.

In this review, the authors highlight that emulgels, a combination of gel and emulsion, provide an effective topical drug delivery system for hydrophobic drugs, offering benefits like controlled release and versatility in treating various dermatological conditions.

This study found no difference in the physical stability of hair tonic preparations made from sansevieria leaves extract, regardless of whether maceration or soxhletation methods were used.

In this study, researchers developed hollow mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles and confirmed their synthesis using IR spectroscopy, then evaluated the nanoparticles for endocytosis and biocompatibility, although specific results of these tests are not reported in the abstract.

This study developed a model using homogenization-based framework to quantify solvent and solute flow across Janus membranes, aiming to better understand interface phenomena like osmosis and phoresis by examining micro- and macro-scale behaviors.

This study found that lipid extraction increased water diffusion in wool and hair fibers; the effect was more pronounced in hair, indicating lipids are crucial for water permeability.

This study found that while systemic absorption of DHT from liposomes was negligible, the topical biological effect was weaker compared to DHT dissolved in acetone on the female hamster flank organ model.

This study found that using 2-hydroxypropyl-ß-cyclodextrin (HP-ß-CD) to encapsulate minoxidil can create a stable aqueous solution, potentially replacing the need for organic solvents in topical treatments for androgenic alopecia.

This study found that Sida cordifolia collected in Colombia is a good source of steroidal saponins, which may contribute to its antioxidant and antifungal properties.

In this study, niosomal formulations enhanced minoxidil skin accumulation compared to commercial and control solutions, suggesting a potential improvement for topical delivery in hair loss treatment.

In this study, cubosome and hexosome carriers with antimicrobial peptides showed varied efficacy, with cubosomes protecting peptides from degradation and enhancing bactericidal effects in some cases, while hexosomes lacked antimicrobial activity.

This study introduced a natural shampoo formulation containing Gleditsia sinensis Lam extract, Sapindus mukurossi extract, and other ingredients, which demonstrated effective foaming, antioxidant, antibacterial, and antifungal properties.

This study explored microemulsion formulations for delivering finasteride through the skin, finding that higher water concentrations increased permeation, which may inform optimal transdermal delivery for treating androgenetic alopecia.

Caffeine and siloxanetriol alginate caffeine in emulsion form can reduce fatty cell size and number, potentially treating cellulite effectively.

This review highlights that nanotechnology enhances the solubility, stability, and bioavailability of phytochemicals from medicinal plants, improving their therapeutic efficiency in disease models like cancer and infections. However, it indicates that further research is necessary to optimize formulations and ensure safety for clinical use.

This study found that Spironolactone-loaded ethosomal gels provided superior skin permeation and deposition compared to niosomal gels in rabbit skin, suggesting that ethosomal gels could be a promising formulation for further clinical studies on treating androgenic alopecia.

This study established a new reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography method to accurately and precisely quantify silodosin and dutasteride in mixtures, meeting International Council of Harmonization validation criteria for stability, sensitivity, and recovery.

This study found that washing hair with surfactants reduces the internal density of hair due to cuticle lifting, and suggests that a cuticle-sealing strategy can inhibit this effect and maintain hair homeostasis.

This study found that a CLSM-based approach could semi-quantitatively assess the transdermal penetration behavior of fluorescent dyes with different lipophilicities, offering a tool for early-stage screening of compound penetration.

This study reported that ultrafine gelatin nanoparticles produced by a modified desolvation technique offer advantages for dermal drug delivery, including smaller particle size, higher drug loading, and faster release compared to traditional gelatin nanoparticles.
