“…Targeted approaches have been significantly advanced by colloidal carrier forms centered on biocompatible and biodegradable polymerics, including nanoparticles (NPs) [ 4 ]. According to one definition [ 5 , 6 ], nanoparticles are small solid colloidal substances of 1–1000 nm diameter, made from polymers, lipids, or metals. Active particles in NP may be dissolved, encapsulated, entrapped, or absorbed [ 7 ].…”

Nano-engineered medical products first appeared in the last decade. The current research in this area focuses on developing safe drugs with minimal adverse effects associated with the pharmacologically active cargo. Transdermal drug delivery, an alternative to oral administration, offers patient convenience, avoids first-pass hepatic metabolism, provides local targeting, and reduces effective drug toxicities. Nanomaterials provide alternatives to conventional transdermal drug delivery including patches, gels, sprays, and lotions, but it is crucial to understand the transport mechanisms involved. This article reviews the recent research trends in transdermal drug delivery and emphasizes the mechanisms and nano-formulations currently in vogue.
