微针在经皮给药系统的应用研究

由于皮肤对药物的吸收有阻碍作用,以传统透皮方式给药难以达到治疗效果,经皮给药的关键在于如何突破皮肤的屏障作用.微针是一种结合皮下注射与经皮给药双重释药优点的新技术,微针可以在皮肤上产生供药物通过的孔道,可以显著提高药物的经皮吸收,特别是对于多肽、蛋白和疫苗等经皮渗透性显著提高.该文在对国内外相关文献报道的基础上,对微针的制备材料和制备方法、微针的分类及其在经皮给药系统中的应用进行综述.     

微针与新型经皮给药载体结合的研究进展

经皮给药系统具有给药方便、血药浓度稳定、无首过效应等优点,但皮肤的屏障作用使得药物难以透过皮肤。近年来,出现了很多新型经皮给药的药物载体,如脂质体、醇质体、囊泡等,这些能通过化学方法促进药物的经皮渗透。而微针能穿透皮肤角质层形成微孔通道,通过物理方法促进药物的渗透,将微针与新型经皮给药载体结合能显著提高药物的经皮吸收的速率。本研究对微针与新型经皮给药载体结合的最新研究进行了综述,并展望了微针辅助新型药物载体经皮给药的发展前景。

Microneedles and transdermal applications

With the limitations of oral drug delivery and the pain and needle phobias associated with traditional injections, drug delivery research has focused on the transdermal delivery route. A formidable barrier to transdermal drug delivery is the stratum corneum, the superficial layer of the skin. In the last 10 years, microneedles were proposed as a mechanical tool to pierce through the stratum corneum, in order to create drug delivery channels without stimulating underlying pain nerves. Since then, the field of microneedles has rapidly evolved to spawn a plethora of potential transdermal applications. In this review, the authors provide an overview of the progress in microneedle research and design, and the advancements that have been made in employing this technology for transdermal applications.     

Microneedles: an emerging transdermal drug delivery system

Objectives One of the thrust areas in drug delivery research is transdermal drug delivery systems (TDDS) due to their characteristic advantages over oral and parenteral drug delivery systems. Researchers have focused their attention on the use of microneedles to overcome the barrier of the stratum corneum. Microneedles deliver the drug into the epidermis without disruption of nerve endings. Recent advances in the development of microneedles are discussed in this review for the benefit of young scientists and to promote research in the area. Key findings Microneedles are fabricated using a microelectromechanical system employing silicon, metals, polymers or polysaccharides. Solid coated microneedles can be used to pierce the superficial skin layer followed by delivery of the drug. Advances in microneedle research led to development of dissolvable/degradable and hollow microneedles to deliver drugs at a higher dose and to engineer drug release. Iontophoresis, sonophoresis and electrophoresis can be used to modify drug delivery when used in concern with hollow microneedles. Microneedles can be used to deliver macromolecules such as insulin, growth hormones, immunobiologicals, proteins and peptides. Microneedles containing ‘cosmeceuticals’ are currently available to treat acne, pigmentation, scars and wrinkles, as well as for skin tone improvement. Summary Literature survey and patents filled revealed that microneedle‐based drug delivery system can be explored as a potential tool for the delivery of a variety of macromolecules that are not effectively delivered by conventional transdermal techniques.     

Challenges and strategies in developing microneedle patches for transdermal delivery of protein and peptide therapeutics

The birth of microneedles, an array of needles sufficiently long to penetrate epidermis but small enough to do not cause skin injury and pain feeling, has offered a highly promising solution for non-invasive delivery of protein and peptide drugs, a long-cherished desire over eighty years. However, the attempts to develop clinically feasible microneedle transdermal delivery methods encountered series of difficulties, for which a decade research efforts have yet to result in a single product. Microneedles may be incorporated into devices as skin pre-treatment tools, skin microinjectors as well as transdermal patches by their functions in drug delivery. They may also be categorized to insoluble solid microneedles, hollow microneedles, soluble/degradable solid microneedles and phase-transition microneedles by their structure and forming materials. This review article is aimed to update the progress and discuss the technical challenges raised in developing protein/peptide loaded microneedle patches.     

Microneedles: a valuable physical enhancer to increase transdermal drug delivery

Transdermal drug delivery offers an attractive alternative to the conventional drug delivery methods of oral administration and injection. However, the stratum corneum acts as a barrier that limits the penetration of substances through the skin. Recently, the use of micron-scale needles in increasing skin permeability has been proposed and shown to dramatically increase transdermal delivery. Microneedles have been fabricated with a range of sizes, shapes, and materials. Most in vitro drug delivery studies have shown these needles to increase skin permeability to a broad range of drugs that differ in molecular size and weight. In vivo studies have demonstrated satisfactory release of oligonucleotides and insulin and the induction of immune responses from protein and DNA vaccines. Microneedles inserted into the skin of human subjects were reported to be painless. For all these reasons, microneedles are a promising technology to deliver drugs into the skin. This review presents the main findings concerning the use of microneedles in transdermal drug delivery. It also covers types of microneedles, their advantages and disadvantages, enhancement mechanisms, and trends in transdermal drug delivery.

微针经皮给药系统应用于皮肤肿瘤治疗的研究进展

经皮给药系统（TDDS）作为一种经表皮给药途径递药,近年来受到广泛关注。然而,皮肤的主要屏障角质层极大地限制了大部分药物的药效。微针（MNs）可穿透角质层,为药物经皮渗透创造瞬时微通道,从而递送药物至真皮层或皮下。同时MNs给药微创、操作简单、无痛且药物可控释放,因此在皮肤局部或全身给药具有广阔的应用前景。综述MNs的制备、分类及其应用于皮肤肿瘤治疗的最新研究进展,探讨MNs在生物医药研究领域的发展前景,为MNs经皮给药系统应用于临床提供参考。
