  • Abstract:
  • The ethosomal drug is administered in the semisolid form (gel or cream) hence producing high patient compliance. Ethosomes can be enhance permeation through the stratum corneum barrier.Ethosomes permeate through the skin layers more rapidly and process significantly higher transdermal flux in comparison to conventional liposomes. Liposomes, Niosomes, transferosomes and ethosomes also have been reported to enhance permeability of drug through stratum corneum barrier. Permeation enhancer increases the permeability of the skin, so that the drug can cross through the skin easily. Ethosomes can be entrap drug molecules with various physicochemical characteristics i.e. of hydrophilic, lipophilic, or amphiphilic. The size range of ethosomes may vary from tens of nanometers to macron (µ). Ethosomes has initiated a new area in vesicular research for transdermal drug delivery. Ethosomes offers a good opportunity for the non-envesive delivery of small, medium and large sized drug molecules. Ethosomes are the non-evasive drug delivery carriers that enable drugs to reach the deep skin layers finally delivering to the systemic circulation. It delivers large molecules such as peptides, protein molecules. Simple method for drug delivery in comparison to Iontophoresis and Phonophoresis and other complicated methods.
