Utilization of liquid crystals for transdermal drug delivery system

Abstract

The following review paper addresses certain theoretical features of liquid crystals, such as liquid crystal forms and phases, as well as lyotropic liquid crystals and nanoparticles in transdermal drug delivery systems. The possible reasons behind the probability of using LLC (Lyotropic Liquid Crystal) along with LCNPs (Liquid Crystal Nanoparticles) successfully for the creation of nanocarrier drug delivery has been also explored but the focus of this review is on the topical and transdermal applications of these systems. Altogether, the current review paper studies the achievements of distinct phases of liquid crystals for transdermal drug delivery mechanism has been described and investigated in depth by which, an end result has been accomplished that liquid crystals may soon be the preferred medicine delivery system as well as these methods have the ability to revolutionize the sector for dermatological diseases.
