Development of physical penetration enhancement technology for Chinese medicine transdermal drug delivery / 国际生物医学工程杂志

ABSTRACT

Transdermal drug delivery is an important medicine delivery methodology in Chinese medicine, and the core procedure of which is to get the effective components of medicine into the body through the skin barrier successfully.Physical penetration enhancement is an important method to promote the transdermal delivery of Chinese medicine, which by physically changing certain properties of the skin or medicine in order to promote the transdermal absorption.Physical penetration enhancement is mainly via sound, light, electricity, magnet, and micro needle technology applications by the corresponding equipment.Chinese medicine transdermal technology is mainly through the skin absorption and acupoint stimulating absorption.The focus of this review is trying to predict the development direction of transdermal drug equipment in Chinese medicine by analyzing the transdermal drug delivery technology and pathway.
