Carrier-Mediated Dermal Delivery: Applications in the Prevention and Treatment of Skin Disorders 1st Edition (2017) (PDF) by Andreia Ascenso

Description

This book presents new approaches for skin aging and photocarcinogenesis and topical formulations based on nanocarrier systems for skin disorders. It discusses cosmeceuticals, laser, photodynamic therapy, and melatonin-based treatments as important strategies for photoaging management. Photodynamic therapy and melatonin can be used in the photocarcinogenesis context, too. Therefore, the inclusion of this strong antioxidant in sunscreen products could be a promising approach. The book discusses topical formulations, including emulsions (conventional formulations and emulsions stabilized by solid particles), nail films, and nanocarriers used for the delivery of actives in various skin and nail diseases such as acne, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, fungal diseases, leishmaniasis, and skin cancer. Finally, several nanocarriers are introduced, such as lipid vesicles (ranging from the first-generation conventional liposomes to the more recent deformable vesicles), liquid crystalline nanodispersions, gelatin, and solid lipid nanoparticles. Their composition, formulation, characterization, and topical applications are also discussed. Although this is a broad topic, the most important (nano)pharmaceutical formulations are presented in the book.

Andreia Ascenso is professor of pharmaceutical technology in the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Lisbon, Portugal. She manages the Nanomedicine and Drug Delivery Systems group of the Research Institute for Medicines (iMed.ULisboa) and collaborates with other research teams from the University of Aveiro, Portugal, and Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil. Her research focuses on the study of antioxidants and new drugs incorporated into nanocarriers topically delivered for the management of skin disorders
