Discovery of transdermal penetration enhancers by high-throughput screening
Article Abstract:
Particular mixtures of penetration enhancers developed by an experimental tool, in vitro skin impedance guided high-throughput (INSIGHT) screening that increase skin permeability to macromolecules 100-fold without inducing skin irritation. The studies showed the feasibility of using penetration enhancers for systemic delivery of macromolecules from a transdermal patch.
