Seminar: Ethosomes as Advanced Nanoparticles for Transdermal Drug Delivery
Official Coverage
Drug Delivery Technologies Seminar - College of Pharmacy, University of Basrah
The seminar featured a specialized scientific lecture delivered by Assistant Lecturer Nivin Nassif Jassim, in which she presented a comprehensive overview of Ethosomes — advanced nanoparticulate systems designed for efficient transdermal drug delivery.
The presenter explained that Ethosomes possess the unique ability to encapsulate significant amounts of active pharmaceutical ingredients and transport them through the skin into the systemic circulation. This capability is attributed to their exceptional elasticity and ultra-small nanoscale size, which enables them to penetrate dermal barriers effectively. Their flexibility stems from their distinctive composition of terpenes and ethanol alongside phospholipids. The lecture aimed to shed light on the therapeutic advantages of Ethosomes, their preparation methods, and their clinical applications — highlighting their pivotal role in facilitating non-invasive drug administration through diverse cutaneous dosage forms.
