For instance, exenatide can cross the blood-brain barrier, while semaglutide (SEMA) has a limited ability to do so
Effective transdermal delivery would require advanced technologies such as: Microneedle arrays : Tiny needles that create microscopic channels in the skin to facilitate drug absorption (these are minimally invasive devices rather than traditional patches) Chemical penetration enhancers : Substances that temporarily increase skin permeability Iontophoresis : Using electrical currents to drive charged molecules through the skin Nanoparticle formulations : Encapsulating drugs in carriers designed to cross skin barriers Several preclinical and early-stage studies have explored these approaches for GLP-1 delivery, with some promising results in laboratory and animal models
