Psoriasis, a chronic autoimmune and non-communicable skin disease, affects 2-3% of the global population, creating a significant financial burden on healthcare systems worldwide. Treatment approaches are categorized based on disease severity, with first-line therapy focusing on topical treatments and second-line therapy encompassing phototherapy, systemic therapy, and biological therapy. Transdermal drug delivery methods present a promising alternative by enhancing drug absorption through the skin, potentially improving therapeutic outcomes while minimizing systemic adverse effects. Among these, microneedles (MNs) emerge as an innovative transdermal delivery device offering controlled and sustained drug release, reduced systemic exposure, and painless, minimally invasive targeted drug delivery, making them highly suitable for managing skin-related immune disorders. Other transdermal techniques, such as sonophoresis, patches, iontophoresis, and electroporation, also play critical roles in psoriasis treatment. Nanotechnological approaches offer transformative solutions to overcome the limitations of traditional formulations by enhancing efficacy, reducing dosing frequency, and minimizing dose-dependent side effects. Various nanocarriers, including liposomes, ethosomes, transferosomes, niosomes, solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs), liquid crystalline nanoparticles (LCNPs), nanoemulsions (NEs), and micelles, demonstrate significant potential to improve drug penetration, targeted distribution, safety, and efficacy. This review aims to comprehensively analyze the advancements in nanotechnological approaches and nanocarrier applications for psoriasis management. It discusses the types, pathophysiology, and history of psoriasis while exploring current treatment strategies, including herbal formulations and nanotechnology-based interventions. The review also evaluates the potential of nanotechnological advancements as innovative therapeutic options, emphasizing their mechanisms, benefits, and clinical applicability in addressing the shortcomings of conventional therapies. Together, these insights highlight nano-formulations as a promising frontier for effective psoriasis management.
银屑病是一种慢性自身免疫性非传染性皮肤病,影响着全球2%至3%的人口,给全球医疗系统带来了巨大的经济负担。治疗方法根据疾病严重程度分类,一线治疗主要侧重于局部治疗,二线治疗包括光疗、全身治疗和生物治疗。经皮给药方法通过增强药物经皮肤吸收提供了一种有前景的替代方案,有可能改善治疗效果,同时将全身不良反应降至最低。其中,微针作为一种创新的经皮给药装置,具有可控和持续的药物释放、减少全身暴露以及无痛、微创靶向给药的特点,使其非常适合用于管理与皮肤相关的免疫疾病。其他经皮技术,如超声透入疗法、贴片、离子电渗疗法和电穿孔,在银屑病治疗中也发挥着关键作用。纳米技术方法提供了变革性的解决方案,通过提高疗效、减少给药频率和最小化剂量依赖性副作用来克服传统制剂的局限性。各种纳米载体,包括脂质体、醇质体、传递体、非离子表面活性剂囊泡、固体脂质纳米粒、液晶纳米粒、纳米乳剂和胶束,在改善药物渗透、靶向分布、安全性和疗效方面显示出巨大潜力。本综述旨在全面分析纳米技术方法和纳米载体在银屑病管理中的应用进展。它讨论了银屑病的类型、病理生理学和历史,同时探讨了当前的治疗策略,包括草药制剂和基于纳米技术的干预措施。该综述还评估了纳米技术进展作为创新治疗选择的潜力,强调了它们在解决传统疗法缺点方面的作用机制、益处和临床适用性。总之,这些见解突出了纳米制剂作为有效管理银屑病的一个有前景的前沿领域。
