November 2024 in “Pharmaceutics” The study explores the use of dutasteride-loaded liposomes and transfersomes for treating androgenic alopecia, focusing on enhancing drug delivery to hair follicles. Transfersomes, due to their flexible structure, demonstrated superior follicular targeting (Tf = 0.32) compared to stiffer liposomes (Tf = 0.15) in in vitro tests on porcine skin. This suggests that transfersomes offer better initial control over drug release, making them a promising option for topical treatment. However, over 24 hours, drug distribution equilibrated across skin layers, indicating a need for further optimization to maintain targeting efficacy. The study underscores the potential of transfersomes for improved follicular targeting in alopecia treatment, though additional safety studies are required.
