INTRODUCTION:
Background: The global market for Transdermal Drug Delivery systems was estimated to be around USD 31.6 billion in 2015. When the number of chronic diseases rise and oral medications have a low therapeutic efficacy due to hepatic first-pass metabolism, the transdermal drug delivery industry has a substantial impact. The transdermal administration of pharmaceuticals is a precise, prestigious and fascinating research applied to the skin for therapeutic purposes. To transport the medicine into the circulation, the average skin surface area is 2m2.
However, because the skin acts as a barrier, it's important to understand skin anatomy, the implications of medication selection and the mechanism for delivering the treatment to the skin. Drugs used in the TDDS (Transdermal Drug Delivery System) should be very potent, lipophilic and have a molecular mass of less than 600 Da (Dalton) 2, 3. The stratum corneum, dermis, epidermis and hypodermis are the four tissue layers that makeup skin. The outermost layer stratum corneum is composed of 6-16% (percent sign) lipids (phospholipids, glycosphingolipids and cholesterol sulphate) and 74-84 percent proteins (keratin), with a length of 35-43 m (micrometer) 4. The viable epidermis is a skin layer (55-105m broad) made up of nautical fibrils and 90% water 5. The dermis layer (2000 m to 3000 m) lies beneath the epidermis layer, with a fibrous proteins matrix embedded in the bottom matter 6. Unattached connective white fibrous tissue, lymph vessels, blood vessels, and sweat glands are coated on subcutaneous connective tissue 7.
Main Text: The Product Development Approach is quality-driven, with medication physiochemical qualities, devices, and formulation ingredient features all taken into account when designing for skin locations. In the early stages of development, indirect methods were utilized to improve drug influx, pass the skin barrier and design permeability. Sustained drug gradient, membrane permeability, diffusivity, drug micro-reservoir for preserving release kinetics uniformity, and adhesion qualities with their involvement in drug release are only a few of the aspects 8.
Permeation Pathways: Passive diffusion of the substance is included in percutaneousdermal immersion. Two diffusional courses of action are included in a little identifiable unit of a medication 9. The sebaceous glands, hair follicles, and sweat glands make up the appendageal route, which is also known as the shunting route and bypass route because it passes through the stratum corneum. This method is designed to have a minimal total skin surface area 10. The epidermal pathway is an intact horney layer with transcellular and intracellular micro paths for entry and exit 11. Trans cellular pathway route possesses epithelial membrane drug passage by the mechanism of the active passage of polar and ionic compound, passive transport of small particle size drugs, and transcytosis and endocytosis of large particle size drugs 12. Para cellular pathways involve the transport of drug molecules in the middle of skin cells or all over 13. The passage of drug particles mainly involves mainly by partition coefficients (log K) through compact junctions 14. A drug of hydrophilic nature is conversely into intracellular junctions, whereas to the greatest extent, permeants disperse through the stratum corneum by both intercellular and intracellular pathways. Although the intercellular pathway is extensively examined as a principle route, it is a significant obstacle to permeate most drugs 15.
As we know, the drug must pass through different skin layers to reach out to the bloodstream for therapeutic use. In the first step, drug patches are applied to the skin's upper layer. Then, by the mean of diffusion, it is absorbed into the stratum corneum, transferred to the viable epidermis, and transported to the inner dermal layer. Drug uptake occurs through the dermal papillary layer through capillaries and blood vessels 16. Drug moiety’s transdermal permeation includes the subsequent steps as describe in Fig. 1. Permeation involves penetration across skin layers, passing throughout the SC (stratum corneum) to epidermis, followed by upper dermis diffusion and penetration from downward layers to reach out systemic absorption. In the TDDS, either drug is presented as a liquid/gel-dissolved substance or stored in solid form. The release of the drug takes place as the concentration gradient exists with flux expressed as µg (microgram)/cm (centimeter) 2 h (hour) in the skin.
FIG. 1: MECHANISM OF TRANSDERMAL PERMEATION
The drug usually follows steady-release kinetics with an initial lag time, small or more. As the different drugscapability to go through the skin barrier differs, there is a requirement of thermodynamic thrust for passive diffusion in the skin. In the TDDS, drug load has to go through some challenges like being strongly promising in pharamacological activities and related to the transdermal delivery with approved physiochemical properties. Various drugs have moderate flux, due to which they can penetrate less through the skin. On the other hand, drugs having low permeability because of the skin barrier can be enhanced by the ways of physical-chemical-physiochemical- acoustics- radioactive-based techniques to increase the delivery output. In addition, many pharmacokinetic factors that influenced the trans-dermal drug delivery consist of the distribution of drug, therapeutic amount in plasma, drug’s half life, whole body clearance, and bioavailability 17. A permeation enhancer is a substance that increases the permeability of skin and thus increases the drug's absorption power through the skin 18.
FIG. 2: TRANSDERMAL PERMEATION ENHANCEMENT TECHNIQUE BY MICRONEEDLE ARRAY
Ionizable drugs such as timolol maleate and impermeable drugs such as heparin can be delivered through the skin to maintain plasma concentration into the blood 19. The molecular weight substance such as hormones and peptides and less potentially active drugs, e.g. (exempli -gratia) oxymorphone delivery, can be possible by using permeation enhancer 20.
Ideal characteristics should be associated with the drug; should not indicate any adverse effect on the body; must be biocompatible and should no cause irritation, allergy, and toxicity; should not have any odor, color and taste; should not cause leakage of fluid from the body; after removing these materials skin should restore its original property 21. No permeation enhancer passages are all reliable properties as mention. A major task is to reduce the allergic responses of the skin 22.
In the approaching year, the transdermal market is predicted to be profitable with growth opportunities because of the use of technology and innovations in trans dermal, such as microneedles arrays and mechanical arrays. The innovations involve alterations in penetration enhancers, transdermal patch designs, and internalization of pressure-sensitive adhesives, which increases the capacity of the reservoir to hold a large quantity of drugs and improved drug diffusion. Furthermore, advancement contains highly developed transdermal patches, advanced reservoir type, and miniaturization that distribute accurate medication dosage. During the estimated period, the fastest-growing relevances were identified in Mechanical arrays. There is a prediction that the mechanical arrays sector will grow at a productive evaluation of 12.5% in an estimated period. Elevation of the sector's growth potential can be represented by an increase in the number of manufactured goods started by well-known industry players. There are many transdermal products in the late phase of clinical trials, such as a mechanical array or microneedle.
In TDDM (Transdermal Drug Delivery System Marketplace), cardiovascular is considered the fastest-developed application. This type of development can result in increasing consumption of TDDS for the cure of congestive heart failure, angina pectoris, and hypertension. For example, in treating hypertension, use of clonidine nitroglycerin and is sorbide dinitrate transdermal have extreme efficacy. North America in 2015 represents a significant share of more than 50.0% and is considered as largest region in the transdermal drug delivery marketplace. This boost in the area is due to patent expirations resulting in the entry of other companies into the marketplace. Some of the factors controlling the substantial share seizing in the region include repositioning of failed drugs, reformulation of existing drug compounds, and enlarged investments.
Due to the high growth intensity and research study, there is a positive development in the marketplace of Asia Pacific (Countries such as India and China) as likely to show exponential CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of over 12.0%, which results in developing health care infrastructure and increasing healthcare expenditure. The most leading market player is Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Incorporated), in the TTDS market. There are certain companies that dominate the market are Watson Pharmaceuticals, Transdermal Technologies, Inc., Biogel Technology, Inc., Johnson & Johnson, Noven Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Johnson & Johnson, Transdermal Corporation, 4P Therapeutics, Novartis AG, Echo Therapeutics, Inc., Boehringer Ingelheim GmbH, 3M Company, LLC and Skyepharma, Inc. The growth in the industry is based upon the decisions taken by industry players which can be product launches, geographical expansions, acquisitions, mergers in order to acquire larger shares. For the cure of Alzheimer’s disease a transdermal patch was launched by Novartis AG in September 2015. This launch was a big achievement to acquire a large share of Alzheimer’s disease patients. There are mostly three ways for penetration enhancements: Chemical approach, Biochemical approach, and Physical approach 23.
Chemical Approach: Some of the mainly used ones are illustrated as alcohol, which acts by various mechanisms to increase skin properties which are swelling of stratum corneum to enhances the permeation of the drug into the skin, lipid and protein extraction, ethanol flux linearly related to flux across the skin 24.
Long-chain alcohols increase in permeation is level of unsaturation increase from one to two double bonds with three double bond level of permeation decrease. Saturated fatty alcohols are Myristyl alcohols, tridecanol, lauryl alcohol, undecanol, decanol, octanol, etc.
Unsaturated fatty alcohols are Linolenyl alcohol, Oleyl alcohol, etc. Propylene glycol increases the flux of verapamil hydrochloride, heparin sodium hydrochloride, ketoprofen, methotrexate, azone, and cyclosporine A. PG (Propylene Glycol) provides hydrogen bonding on sites to solvates stratum carenum keratin. PG in preparation of azone acts as increased intercellular drug diffusion to release a large amount of glycol. More the length of carbon chain in n-alcohol more will be drug flux 25. Short Chain Glyceride has a remarkable hydrophobic system that increases absorption and permeation of furin and papaverine 26.
Amines and Amides: They are cyclic urea permeation enhancer contains a long chain of alkyl ester group and polar parent moiety. Because of the presence of hydrophilic groups and lipid disruption, they promote hydration of stratum carenum also increase the penetration of trans dermal patches. They are biodegradable and non-toxic 27. Cyclodextrin is a higher concentration form complex with lipophilic drugs that reduce the flux. It enhances the drug’s solubility in aqueous solutions and is also reported as biocompatible. Pyrrolidones such as N-methyl pyrrolidone act as transcutaneous absorption enhancers 28.
Unsaturated Fatty Acids: These enhance more absorption than saturated fatty acids. The best permeation enhancer is Palmitic acid. It increases absorption 640 times on hairless mouse skin. PG (Propylene Glycol) increases intracellular transport, whereas azone increases intercellular transport. PG and azone together combine great permeation enhancements through stratum corneum in both lipophilic lines and hydrophilic routes. PG gives hydrophilic components to the protein region whereas azone facilitates the flow of drugs through the lipid bilayer. The flux of piroxicam and methotrexate increase when the Azons and PG combination was used 29. Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) acts as an aprotic solvent because it absorbs the bonding of intracellular hydrogen. It can dissolve anything and act as a universal solvent it does not exhibit any kind of odor and colour. DMSO denatures the skin protein and acts as a penetration enhancer 30.
Surface Active Agents: Anionic surfactant changes the barrier properties of SC by removing water-soluble agents and is then increase the permeation, e.g., Sodium lauryl sulphate. Cationic surfactant absorbs at the skin surface and then increases skin permeation. They are greater penetrant as compare to anionic surfactants, the reason they can damage skin too. Non-ionic surfactants emulsify the sebum and increase the permeation by changing partitioning properties 31. Terpenes and terpenoids are made from repeating isoprene (C5H8) units. They are ingredients of essential oils. They are a tremendous percutaneous permeation enhancer, e.g., L-Menthol (L- Livo) form a eutectic mixture with drug and drop their initial melting point.
This makes the drug more soluble and increases absorption through the skin. Menthol also alters the skin property and increases the permeation of stratum corneum 32.
Biochemical Approach:
Pro Drug: It converts into active form covered by enzyme after absorption and diffusion into viable tissue. So prodrug helps maintain a proper partition coefficient for crossing skin barrier, e.g., N-acyl derivatives increase the permeability of 5-Fluorouracil to 25 times, 6-Mercaptopurine permeation increased by 240 times S6-acetoxymethyl and 9-dialkyl aminomethyl. Prodrug also increases the permeability of nalbuphine, buprenorphine, and beta-blocker 33.
Skin Metabolism Inhibitor Co-Administration: These as skin permeation also can be increased by altering one or all processes of lamellar homeostasis. This process includes synthesis, assembly, secretion, processing, activation. Synthesis of ceramide, cholesterol and fatty materials block temporarily by synthesis inhibitor. Fluvastatin increase water/octanol partition coefficient of Lidocain Hydrochloride by 50 times 34.
Physical Approach:
Micro Needle Array: `It works as both transdermal patch and hypodermic needles. Microneedles help to deliver the drug from the drug pool to the stratum corneum without reaching nerve-ending Fig. 2. Needles Specification (200-750 microns) Length, (150 - 650 microneedles) Array/cm2, Interfacial Area (490 µm2), Diameter of tip - 25 µm, Insertion force (0.058 N{Newton}), Material - Silicon, Sugar, metal and plastic. Several types of needles are poke with patch.
Applying patch locally and excruciating into the epidermal layer, coat and poke needles placed into the drug. Drug release occurs by the biodegradable microneedles containing drug placed into an eco-friendly polymeric microneedle, resolution and the epidermal surface punctured by hollow micro needle with hollow bore 35. Marketed products are Macro Flux (A), an enhanced hydrophilic peptide released such as hexapeptide, tetrapeptide-3, and oxytocin with microneedle array pre-treatment with porcine ear skin.
Microdermabrasion: It selectively removes the stratum corneum to increase skin permeability. Large molecular weight drugs can be delivered through this technique, e.g., Peptides, vaccines, and insulin 36.
Microdermabrasion (Histological Imaging): It is used for removing wrinkles and scars; this technique is applied, e.g., Aluminium oxide crystals (30-35 K), Sodiumbiocarbonate, Magnesium oxide, Alminium oxide diamond 37. Dye penetration is used for the removal of a tattoo or permanent makeup. “Food and Drug Cosmetic Act” must approve the dye 38. Skin electrical resistance is used for removal of stratum corneum whose resistance range must be (1750 ± 1340 k cm2 39. Follicular delivery of drug can be through sweat glands (86 ± 37 µm) and hair follicles (172 ± 70 µm). This technique is best for transdermal drug delivery as they are hydrophilic with high molecular weight moiety can store for up to 10 days 40.
Electrically Driven Technique:
Ultrasound (Phonophoresis or Sonphoresis): In this technique, the ultrasonic wave increases the permeation of the skin. Mechanism of Sonphoresis includes the frequency of an ultrasonic wave is greater than 20 kHz applied on skin which increases skin fluidity of lipid and via a transcellular pathway. They form bubbles that create holes. The holes give passage to large molecular weight drug penetration into the skin. Examples are Dexamethasone, Lidocaine, Ketoprofen. The limitation is these ultrasound waves transform into heat energy which causes the formation of attenuation 42.
Iontophoresis: Voltaic cell or galvanic cell generates an electrical impulse of 0.5 A/cm. which permeate ionized drug through the skin. The mechanism is based on Faraday's law, according to which the current applied is directly proportional to the drug permeation. Skin pH is a key factor more the skin pH, more will be skin penetration. Faraday's law is expressed in the following formula D= IT/(IZI)F where F = Faraday's Constant (Coloumb/Mol.), I = Current (Ampere), D = Drug Permeated, IZI = Valance 43. Types of Iontophoresis are Direct Iontophoresis in this anions are passively diffuse through the skin. Reverse Iontophoresis involves the movement of negative ions into the anode and positive ions into cathode. Apomorphine for the treatment of idiopathic Parkinson's disease is distributed in this way. In the future drug-like vasopressin, insulin, inulin, calcitonin, the parathyroid hormone can be delivered by this mechanism 44.
Magnetophoresis: Permeability of skin increased by applying a magnetic field around the solute used to penetrate into skin 45. Examples are Benzoic acid has diamagnetic nature when we applied magnetic field its diffusion properties increase. Limitations are stratum corneum properties can be altering 46.
Electroporation: It involves the application of an electrical pulse of DC voltage of more than 100 voltages (milliseconds) that causes the formation of pore in the lipid bilayer (corneocytes). By this technique, a small charged molecule can’t penetrate through the skin. By giving high voltage can cause aqueous pores into the epidermis 47. This helps to penetrate through the five or six lipid membranes. It helps in the delivery of oligonucleotide, heparin, insulin, proteins, vitamin C, and dextran. In biotechnology and medicines by increase permeation and cell survival. In the food industry and sterilization by electric pulse lead to cell death (necrosis) 48.
Photochemical Wave: These are laser-based generated stress pressure waves by the incision of polystyrene. Epidermis’s lacunar system is changed by it. This technique is used in rejuvenation, acne scar's healing, and delivering macromolecules 49, 50.
High-Velocity Particles: Powder jet instrument with the help of Helium gas (600-900 m/s speed) it propulsive drug into the skin. This technique does not involve any pain and is non-invasive. In reversible nature, this technique causes rupture of epidermis layer 51. Examples are delivery of testosterone, calcitonin and lidocaine hydrochloride made possible.
Needle-Free Injection: Inject used to Deliver the drug (0.1 to 1 ml) without a needle. Imlajet is a fine needle used to open channels of the skin by pushing and permeating the Intrajet used. The liquid drug can propel by nitrogen gas force into small pores of the skin. Miniject is a polycarbonate syringe inject the drug subcutaneous as well as intramuscularly. Jet - syringe is a short therapy technique capable of injecting (0.5 ml of drug) into the skin. Cross-ject are polycarbonate gas nozzle propelled drug subcutaneous 54.
Pharmaceutical Transdermal Formulation Developments: Various drugs are being developed and marketed as transdermal products because of friendly attributes and better compliance with treatment regimens. A team of experts with good knowledge of pharmaceutics, biology, material science, and engineering is required for the development of an optimal transdermal system. The steps are to find out technical compatibility of the drug with excipient and prediction of skin permeability to get an initial read on trans dermal feasibility. The property of drug target patient group and desired delivery profile is the key element 51.
Transdermal System Design: For the scale development, we require the batch size of 1- 1000, scale for the technical development is 1-1000 and scale for the commercial product is 100- 3000. Liquid and the adhesive matrix is applied on to the release liner in such manner that dame concentration of active substance evenly distributed on every point. Then matrix is dried and fixed to the release liner. The patch form is formed, the baking film is applied on the dried matrix ( 1.5 m across and 300m length), then laminates having release liner, baking film, and adhesive layer is cut down to various sizes. The machine can punch any kind of shape, which can be round, oval, and square comfortable to the patient. Finished patches are then separated from one another and heated sealed into pouches 52. In reservoir type design drug is in the form of a solution stored in a liquid reservoir type compartment; a semi-permeable membrane separates adhesive and releases liner.
Therapeutic drugs present in the adhesive system delivers the drug directly to the skin through adhesive. Various kinds of multi-laminated drugs in the adhesive are available in the market with distinct layers under single baking, which are preferable to the patient 53. Well, design transdermal drug delivery formulations include various elements like factors of delivery, skin tolerability, a combination of components with drug and drug product yield, and adhesive use. The selection of adhesive is most important because it affects the adhesion of the patch to the skin and drug delivery The patch can be worn within 7 days, so good adhesion throughout the period is required and is also a significant challenge. Body moments apply stress to the patch in many directions, so customization of adhesive is the key challenge for transdermal drug delivery formulation 54.
Transdermal Drug Delivery Market Overview: The worldwide market for transdermal drug delivery systems was reached USD 4,200.3 Million in 2016, with a predictable increase of CAGR at 7.5% over the estimated time (2017-2024).

Growth Drivers & Challenges: Patch, a transdermal drug delivery tool, showed its major function in diabetic patients for insulin delivery. And the increased diabetic patients across worldwide is possible to elevate the utilization of patch which is expected to show the development of market 62. In 2017, according to a WHO report, the worldwide number of people who have diabetes was reported to be about 422 million. And according to the American diabetes association, more than 1.5 million Americans are cured of diabetes each year. The growing rate of diabetic patients in different regions showed potential development of TDDM in forthcoming years. In recent years, numerous new drug introductions are observed, which can be delivered by the transdermal way 63. Such supporting market actions are expected to lead to present and future development prospects of the marketplace. These encouraging market activities are expected to lead to present and upcoming development scenarios of the market.
The pleasant appearance of TDDM takes place in the early year as the government pharmaceutical licensing organizations to provide the authorization of different transdermal patches. On the other side, the increased rate of technologies such as radio-frequency, electroporation, and others are expected to drop off the development of TDDM. Transdermal drug delivery poses a high rate which arises the unwillingness amongst the population 64. New generation therapeutics and big demand for extreme potent drugs drive TDDS Market.
The effectiveness of these devices can be seen in the high drug distribution capacity beyond the usual drug delivery routes (pulmonary, oral, and intravenous). In addition, a significant contribution to market expansion is the growing popularity of patients and physicians in relation to painless drug delivery, which is expected to meet market demand in the medium term. The above factors are expected to increase the scope of growth during climatic conditions 65. In addition, the large demand for self-medication of patients requiring long-term treatment, including for diabetic patients, is increasing the force in this market. According to diabetes, insulin should be injected into a patient's body by regular injections. 66. There is an increase in the risk of transmission of disease, and insulin can causes pain due to continued use of injection. The rapid rate of acceptance of adhesive skin patches increases higher market growth 67.
