CD Formulation has a top R&D team of experts in pharmacy, chemistry, materials science, and dermatology. With deep expertise and extensive research and development experience, we carefully design and continuously optimize the formulation of protein transdermal formulations. From raw material screening, and formula adjustment to process optimization, we are committed to creating high-quality and highly stable protein transdermal formulations.
Protein drugs are widely used in many diseases for treatment because of their high biological activity and strong specificity. However, traditional delivery methods such as oral and injection have many limitations, such as low bioavailability and poor patient acceptance. Protein transdermal formulation is a formulation that is made of protein drugs (such as biological drugs such as peptides and proteins) through transdermal technology and is used for drug delivery on the skin surface so that drugs can enter the body through the skin to play a role. Compared with oral and injection administration, transdermal administration has the advantages of being non-invasive, avoiding the first-pass effect, maintaining constant blood concentration, and prolonging action time.
Thanks to our platform for protein transdermal formulations development, CD Formulation offers one-stop services from raw material screening, and formulation adjustment to process optimization, which reduces the development cycle and development costs of protein transdermal formulations.
Chemical modification: Structural modification of proteins by introducing additional groups (such as pegylation) to improve their enzyme stability and membrane permeability.
Backbone modification: Such as cyclization strategies and amino acid substitutions to improve the stability of gastrointestinal enzymes.
The transdermal absorption of proteins was promoted by physical methods such as ionophoresis, electroporation, and thermal ablation.
Microneedle patch technology, which forms drug transport microchannels by painlessly destroying the stratum corneum, is also an effective transdermal drug delivery method.
Evaluation of systemic exposure and biological response through in vitro studies of skin penetration, release curve, and stability, and in vivo studies in animal models.
We use various delivery systems to facilitate protein delivery through the skin. Including but not limited to:

Results: Since proteins have a large size and are hydrophilic, they cannot permeate passively across the skin due to the stratum corneum which allows the transport of only small lipophilic drug molecules. Enhancement techniques such as chemical enhancers, iontophoresis, microneedles, electroporation, sonophoresis, thermal ablation, laser ablation, radiofrequency ablation, and noninvasive jet injectors aid in the delivery of proteins by overcoming the skin barrier in different ways. In this review, these enhancement techniques that can enable the transdermal delivery of proteins are discussed, including a discussion of mechanisms, sterility requirements, and commercial development of products.
CD Formulation is committed to creating high-quality, highly stable protein transdermal formulations. We have advanced transdermal delivery technologies, such as liposomes, microemulsion, ion electroosmosis, electroporation, etc., which can significantly improve the efficiency of protein transdermal absorption. Nanocarrier technologies such as liposomes can not only protect proteins from degradation, but also achieve sustained release and targeted drug delivery through the skin barrier.
