Ethosomes are novel lipid‐based vesicular systems that demonstrate unique improvements in drug delivery with respect to other nanoparticles, especially for transdermal applications. Their high ethanol content strongly improves flexibility and deformability, which allows squeezing through the intercellular spaces without any leakage. The ethanol, moreover, contributes increase fluidity of lipids cell membranes dermal layers, allowing an in‐depth penetration nanostructures. Moreover, ethosomes promotion encapsulation either hydrophilic or lipophilic active agents, a feature particularly useful when it deals natural extracts, family compounds characterized by huge chemical variability. As further advantage, being extracts often obtained ethanol‐based solutions, their incorporation makes not necessarily expensive time‐consuming procedures finalized at solvent removal. Following initial exploitation ethosomes, research focuses on development variants such as invasomes transethosomes, show improved capacity.

Oromucosal drug delivery, both local and transmucosal (buccal), is an effective alternative to traditional oral parenteral dosage forms because it increases bioavailability reduces systemic toxicity. The mucosa has a good blood supply, which ensures that molecules enter the circulation directly, avoiding metabolism during first passage through liver. At same time, number of barriers, including mucus, epithelium, enzymes, immunocompetent cells, are designed prevent entry foreign substances into body, also complicates absorption drugs. development oromucosal delivery systems based on mucoadhesive biopolymers their derivatives (especially thiolated catecholated derivatives) promising strategy for pharmaceutical safe forms. Solid, semi-solid liquid formulations have several advantageous properties, such as prolonged residence time due high mucoadhesion, unidirectional modified release capabilities, enhanced permeability. Biopolymers non-toxic, biocompatible, biodegradable may possess intrinsic bioactivity. A rational approach design requires understanding anatomy/physiology physicochemical biopharmaceutical properties molecule/biopolymer, presented in this review.
