Invasomes: An Artificial Vesicle Nanocarrier to Enhance Transdermal Drug Delivery

Abstract: The greatest and most noticeable organ in the body is the skin. The stratum corneum, or top layer of skin, acts as a vital barrier to prevent skin penetration for many drugs. To over-come this barrier, numerous nanocarrier frameworks have been developed, which are important for the functioning of active agents. Vascular systems known as invasomes contain low levels of ethanol as well as terpenes or terpene combinations, which have a higher skin penetration rate and function as potential carriers. Improved drug delivery via the skin using a carrier that can pene-trate these barriers presents a wide range of difficulties and possibilities for further study and the creation of new and better treatment options. The main objective of an invasome-based delivery system is to significantly improve patient compliance and therapeutic value, in addition to bol-stering the safety and efficacy of the drug. This article gives a summary of the synthesis process, invasome characterizations, penetration mechanisms, and applications. This review paper also in-cludes phospholipids and their classification. Phospholipids are present in the cell membrane and provide ceramide, a bioactive molecule that moisturizes skin and protects against environmental damage in transdermal drug delivery systems. Pharmaceutical studies demonstrate that many drug molecules have less solubility, stability, bioavailability, and penetrating power. Invasomes repre-sent a novel dosage form with promising properties for enhancing transdermal drug delivery.
