Abstract
Background: Transdermal route of delivery of Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) has several advantages over other routes like reduced adverse effects, less systemic absorption, and avoidance of first-pass effect and degradation in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Transdermal route is also beneficial for drugs having a narrow therapeutic index. The skin acts as the primary barrier for transdermal delivery of various therapeutic molecules.
Various advanced nanocarrier systems offer several advantages like improved dermal penetration along with an extended drug release profile due to their smaller size and high surface area. Various nanocarriers explored for transdermal delivery of NSAIDs are liposomes, niosomes, ethosomes, polymeric nanoparticles (NPs), solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs), nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs), dendrimers, nanosuspensions/nanoemulsion, and nanofibers.
Objectives: In the present review, our major aim was to explore the therapeutic potential of advanced nanocarrier systems enlisted above for transdermal delivery of NSAIDs. All literature search regarding advanced nanocarrier systems for transdermal delivery of NSAIDs was done using Google Scholar and Pubmed.
Conclusions: Advanced nanocarriers have shown various advantages like reduced side effect, low dosing frequency, high skin permeation, and ease of application over conventional transdermal delivery systems of NSAIDs in various preclinical studies. However, clinical exploration of advanced nanocarrier systems for transdermal delivery of NSAIDs is still a challenge.
Keywords: Dendrimer, liposomes, nanocarrier, nanofibers, transdermal, niosomes, ethosomes.

Electrospun Fibers as Drug Delivery Systems
In recent years, electrospun fibers have attracted considerable attention as potential platforms for drug delivery due to their distinctive properties and adaptability. These fibers feature a notable surface area-to-volume ratio and can be intentionally designed with high porosity, facilitating an increased capacity for drug loading and rendering them suitable for ...read more
Emerging Nanotherapeutics for Mitigation of Neurodegenerative Disorders
Conditions affecting the central nervous system (CNS) present a significant hurdle due to limited access of both treatments and diagnostic tools for the brain. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) acts as a barrier, restricting the passage of molecules from the bloodstream into the brain. The most formidable challenge facing scientists is ...read more
Nanotechnology Based Chemotherapy for the treatment of Head & Neck Cancer
The escalating recurrence rates observed in Head and Neck cancer, particularly within the chemo-therapeutically treated cohort (50-60%), can be attributed to the non-selective nature of current anticancer drug delivery modalities. In this context, nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems emerge as a promising avenue for achieving precise localization of therapeutic agents to ...read more
