Abstract

Transdermal Drug Delivery Systems (TDDSs) offer non-invasive administration and sustained drug release, enhancing patient compliance. However, the skin's natural barrier, particularly the stratum corneum, limits the effectiveness of TDDS for high molecular weight and hydrophilic substances. Innovations in material science, particularly hybrid nanophotonic graphene systems, present promising solutions. Nanophotonics generate localized photothermal effects to create microchannels in the skin, while graphene enhances permeability through its electrical and thermal conductivity. Hybrid nanophotonic systems, such as photonic crystals, plasmonic nanoparticles, metamaterials, quantum dots, nanowires, fiber optic nanosensors, and nanoantennas, offer precise control and real-time monitoring for applications in cancer therapy, chronic pain management, targeted drug delivery, and personalized medicine. This perspective examines the design, effectiveness, biocompatibility, and clinical implications of these hybrid systems, highlighting their potential to expand transdermal drug delivery and revolutionize treatment in personalized medicine. This particular formulation holds patentability, as supported by product patents that highlight the advancements in hybrid nanophotonic graphene systems for transdermal drug delivery.
