Progress in delivering biotechnology drugs on microneedles
As a new transdermal drug delivery system,microneedles can significantly improve skin permeability,enhance drug transdermal delivery,and demonstrate unique advantages in breaking stratum corneum barrier of skin.This feature enables microneedles to demonstrate enormous potential in delivering biotechnology drugs.The traditional delivery method for biotechnology drugs is mainly injection,which brings problems such as pain and skin redness to patients,leading to poor patient compliance.In addition,the production,transportation,and storage of biotechnology drugs require strict low-temperature conditions to maintain their activity and increase cost output.Microneedles,by contrast,have many benefits,providing new avenues and solutions for biomolecular delivery.Accordingly,this review introduced the microneedle drug delivery system for delivery biotechnology drugs,and summarized the research progress of microneedle systems in biotechnology drugs.
