Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) are salts with melting points typically <100°C, composed of specific anions and cations. Recently, IL application has expanded into material engineering and biomedicine. Due to their unique properties, ILs have garnered significant interest in pharmacological research as solubilizers, transdermal absorption enhancers, antibacterial agents, and stabilizers of insoluble pharmaceutical active ingredients. The improvement of skin permeability by ILs is closely associated with their specific physicochemical characteristics, which are identified by their ionic composition. However, the existing literature on transdermal medication administration is insufficient in terms of a comprehensive knowledge base. This review provides a comprehensive assessment of the design principles involved in IL synthesis. Additionally, it discusses the methods utilized to assess skin permeability and provides a focused outline of IL application in transdermal drug administration.
