Background: Skin diseases represent a major health concern worldwide and negatively impact patients’ quality of life. Despite the availability of various efficacious drugs, their therapeutic outcome is often limited due to shortcomings related to the formidable skin barrier and unfavorable physicochemical properties of drugs. Flexible nano-vesicles have shown tremendous potential to overcome these hurdles and improve the local therapeutic effect of these drugs. Objective: This review article is aimed to shed light on flexible nano-vesicular carriers as a means to combat skin diseases. Methods: The literature was reviewed using PubMed database using various keywords such as liposomes, flexible (deformable liposomes) (transferosomes), ethosomes, transethosomes, niosomes, and spanlastics. Results: Liposomes and niosomes were found effective for the loading and release of both hydrophilic and lipophilic drugs. However, their limited skin penetration led to drug delivery to the outermost layers of skin only. This necessitates the search for innovative vesicular carriers, including liposomes, flexible (deformable liposomes), ethosomes, transethosomes, and spanlastics. These flexible nano-vesicular carriers showed enhanced drug delivery and deposition across various skin layers, which was better than their corresponding conventional vesicles. This resulted in superior drug efficacy against various skin diseases such as skin cancer, inflammatory skin diseases, superficial fungal infections, etc. Conclusion: Flexible nano-vesicular carriers have proven themselves as efficient drug delivery systems that are able to deliver their cargo into the deep skin layers and thus, improve the therapeutic outcome of various skin diseases. However, there remain some challenges that need to be addressed before these nanocarriers can be translated from the lab to clinics.

AbstractIntracellular transport and homeostasis of the endomembrane system in eukaryotic cells depend on formation and fusion of vesicular carriers. COPII vesicles export newly synthesized secretory proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). They are formed by sequential recruitment of the small GTP binding protein Sar1, the inner coat complex Sec23/24, and the outer coat complex Sec13/31. In order to investigate the roles of mammalian Sec24 isoforms in cargo sorting, we have combined in vitro COPII vesicle reconstitutions with SILAC-based mass spectrometric analysis. This approach enabled us to identify the core proteome of mammalian COPII vesicles. Comparison of the proteomes generated from vesicles with different Sec24 isoforms confirms several established isoform-dependent cargo proteins, and identifies ERGIC1 and CNIH1 as novel Sec24C‐ and Sec24A-specific cargo proteins, respectively. Proteomic analysis of vesicles reconstituted with a Sec24C mutant, bearing a compromised binding site for the ER-to-Golgi QSNARE Syntaxin5, revealed that the SM/Munc18 protein SCFD1 binds to Syntaxin5 prior to its sorting into COPII vesicles. Furthermore, analysis of Sec24D mutants implicated in the development of a syndromic form of osteogenesis imperfecta showed sorting defects for the three ER-to-Golgi QSNAREs Syntaxin5, GS27, and Bet1.
