“…The average duration of the maturation process of keratinocytes in healthy skin is about 30 days. However, people with psoriasis have an accelerated process, completing it within a substantially shorter timeframe of 5-7 days [ 1 , 2 ]. Psoriasis is subject to multiple etiological factors, including, but not limited to, trauma, stress, hereditary genetic predisposition, and other determinants that exert an influence on the physiological functioning of keratinocytes.…”

“…Phosphatidylcholine is the predominant phospholipid found in the cell membranes of eukaryotic organisms. Consequently, it demonstrates a notable degree of skin tolerance, thereby decreasing the probability of negative effects such as hypersensitivity reactions that make them suitable for delivering drugs to sensitive areas [ 2 ]. Edge activators possess exceptional deformability and flexibility, enabling them to traverse the stratum corneum effortlessly without encountering issues such as fracturing or leakage.…”

Introduction: Berberine is a poorly water-soluble alkaloid compound showing significant anti-inflammatory characteristics. It reduces the levels of pro-inflammatory and inflammatory cytokines, including tumour necrosis factor (TNF-????, IFN-????) and interleukin (IL-23, IL-12, and IL-23). Diacerein significantly reduces the splenomegaly associated with psoriasis. It downregulates the production of TNF-α and IL-12. Method: This study reported the development of transferosomes containing berberine HCl and diacerein using a film hydration method followed by optimization using a Box-Behnken design. Sodium deoxycholate was used as an edge activator. The impact of independent variables (amount of phosphatidylcholine, amount of edge activator, and sonication cycles) on dependent variables (particle size and entrapment efficiency) was examined. The optimized formulation was characterized for polydispersity index, vesicle size, entrapment efficiency, ζ potential, spectral analysis like Fourier transform infrared, thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction, deformability, transmission electron microscopy, antioxidant assay, in-vitro release, and ex-vivo skin permeation studies. Results: The optimized formulation had a particle size of 110.90±2.8 nm with high entrapment efficiency (89.50±1.5 of berberine HCl and 91.23±1.8 of diacerein). Deformability, polydispersity index, ζ potential, and antioxidant activity of the optimized formulation were 2.44, 0.296, -13.3, and 38.36 %, respectively. Optimized transferosomes exhibited 82.093±0.81 % and 85.02±3.81 % release of berberine HCl and diacerein after 24 h of dissolution study. The transdermal flux of optimized formulation was 0.0224 µg cm-2 h-1 (2.24 cm h-1 permeation coefficient) and 0.0462 µg cm-2 h-1 (4.62 cm h-1 permeation coefficient), respectively, for berberine HCl and diacerein. Raman analysis of treated pig skin confirmed that the transferosomes can permeate the skin. No change in the skin condition or irritation was observed in BALB/c mice. Formulation stored at 4 and 25±2 °C / 60±5 % relative humidity was stable for 3 months. Conclusions: Thus, the results demonstrated successful optimization of the transferosomes for the efficient topical delivery of berberine HCl and diacerein in the effective management of psoriasis.

“…Moreover, transdermal drug delivery has been extensively studied as an alternative option over other administration routes, especially for chronic diseases where frequent drug administration is in demand [ 32 ]. In such cases, the active molecules surpass the skin layers and reach the systemic circulation to induce the therapeutic effect; most marketed transdermal products are “patches”, which as dosage forms can deliver appropriate amounts of drug through intact skin, in a controllable manner [ 33 ].…”

The delivery of active molecules via the skin seems to be an efficient technology, given the various disadvantages of oral drug administration. Skin, which is the largest human organ of the body, has the important role of acting as a barrier for pathogens and other molecules including drugs; in fact, it serves as a primary defense system blocking any particle from entering the body. Therefore, to overcome the skin barriers and poor skin permeability, researchers implement novel carriers which can effectively carry out transdermal delivery of the molecules. Another significant issue which medical society tries to solve is the effective dermal delivery of molecules especially for topical wound delivery. The application of nanogels is only one of the available approaches offering promising results for both dermal and transdermal administration routes. Nanogels are polymer-based networks in nanoscale dimensions which have been explored as potent carriers of poorly soluble drugs, genes and vaccines. The nanogels present unique physicochemical properties, i.e., high surface area, biocompatibility, etc., and, importantly, can improve solubility. In this review, authors aimed to summarize the available applications of nanogels as possible vehicles for dermal and transdermal delivery of active pharmaceutical ingredients and discuss their future in the pharmaceutical manufacturing field.
