Photoaging, the premature aging of skin induced by UV rays, is characterized by wrinkling, roughness, laxity, and pigmentary changes. Various natural and synthetic retinoids have been explored for the treatment of aging. Among retinoids, adapalene (Ada, 0.3%) is one of the most potent and widely used drugs to treat photoaging. However, it causes irritant reactions that limit its acceptance by patients. Several studies have shown the applicability of Lysozyme (Lys)-shelled microbubbles (MBs) for drug delivery through sonophoresis, and recently we have shown its efficiency to treat inflammatory skin disease. An acoustic power d. of 3 W/cm2 for 1 min revealing maximum penetration depth of LysMBs was optimized for further in vitro and in vivo studies of Ada-LysMBs. It was observed that in vitro Ada release from Ada-LysMBs at 6 h after ultrasound (US) treatment was more rapid at pH 7.4 (82%) than at pH 5.5 (73%). Franz diffusion experiments on isolated porcine skin indicated that US approx. doubled Ada delivery by Ada-LysMBs and Ada + LysMBs at 12 h and six-fold Lys permeation by LysMBs at 6 h, compared to these treatments alone. A 5-wk in vivo study in mice identified significant wrinkle reduction in animals treated with US plus Ada-LysMBs. Our findings indicate that US may be used with Ada-LysMBs in the water phase to treat photoaging by normalizing hyperkeratinization and promoting collagen synthesis. In the part of experimental materials, we found many familiar compounds, such as 6-(3-(Adamantan-1-yl)-4-methoxyphenyl)-2-naphthoic acid(cas: 106685-40-9Synthetic Route of C28H28O3)
6-(3-(Adamantan-1-yl)-4-methoxyphenyl)-2-naphthoic acid(cas:106685-40-9) is a third-generation synthetic retinoid and a highly lipophilic compound derived from naphthoic acid. It is widely used in the treatment of acne.Synthetic Route of C28H28O3
