Unlock the Potential of Topical and Transdermal Drug Delivery Systems

Edited by Nayan A. Gujarathi, Juliana Palma Abriata, Anil K. Sharma, and Raj Kumar Keservani

Topical and transdermal drug delivery systems (TDDs) have revolutionized the pharmaceutical industry by offering a range of advantages over traditional methods. These advantages include reduced invasiveness, improved sanitation, cost-effectiveness, and enhanced patient compliance. As a result, TDDs have become a crucial aspect of therapeutics, with formulation scientists continually developing innovative preparations and approaches.

The Diversity of Topical and Transdermal Drug Delivery

This comprehensive volume brings together a wealth of case studies, research, and theories to showcase the diversity and novel approaches employed in transdermal and topical drug delivery. The book provides in-depth information on the fundamentals of drug delivery systems, strategies to enhance permeation across membranes, and the formulation and evaluation of various dosage forms.

Evaluation of Conventional vs. Topical and Transdermal Drug Delivery Systems

The volume presents a balanced evaluation of the pros and cons of conventional drug delivery systems compared to TDDs, highlighting the nuances of micro- and nano-systems in TDDs. The extraordinary potential of nano systems, including vesicular systems, polymeric nanoparticles, nanoemulsion, and dendrimers, is extensively discussed, along with their applications through the transdermal route.

Applications in Skin Diseases and Lesions

The book explores the role of TDDs and nanoparticles in addressing various skin diseases and lesions, such as psoriasis, vitiligo, cancer, and aging-related conditions. Additionally, it delves into polymeric micelles in topical and transdermal delivery, microneedles, emulsion, nanoemulsion, and microemulsion, as well as TDDs in pulmonary drug delivery systems and nanoencapsulated nasal drug delivery systems.

Regulatory Aspects and Skin Sensitivity Testing

Furthermore, the volume covers skin sensitivity and irritation testing for transposing transdermal drug delivery systems and regulatory aspects of drug development for dermal products, providing a comprehensive understanding of the field.

Topical and Transdermal Drug Delivery Systems: Applications and Prospects is an indispensable resource for pharmaceutical scientists, researchers, industry professionals, and academicians and students of pharmaceutical and biomedical sciences.
