Oligodeoxyribonucleotides (22-mers) were delivered through the skin of C3H mice in the region of a mammary gland tumor by means of iontophoresis. It was shown that the oligonucleotides enter the tumor, cross it, and reach all mouse organs. Electrophoretic analysis of the oligonucleotide extracted from tumor showed that the compounds were delivered in the tissue in the intact state.

Hair follicles (HFs) represent a route of interest to drug delivery for treating several skin conditions. Iontophoresis, on the other hand, is a physical method to enhance drug permeation by applying a low electrical current to the formulation. HFs can be targeted following topical iontophoretic application, as they represent a pathway of lower electrical resistance, as well as a drug reservoir, in particular useful for nanoparticles (NPs), which can preferably accumulate in these structures.

Dacarbazine (DTIC) is the drug of choice for melanoma treatment, but its systemic administration is related to several adverse effects. Here, DTIC topical delivery stimulated by iontophoresis is proposed to overcome such drawbacks. Hence, this work analyzed the impact of anodal iontophoresis on DTIC cutaneous delivery to provide an innovative topical alternative for melanoma treatment.
