Naltrexone is an increasingly important drug in the treatment of addictions, dependencies and diseases.
Transdermal applications of Naltrexone have traditionally been hampered by poor penetration. Dermaportation provides an ideal delivery solution for drugs such as Naltrexone due to its high delivery rate, programmable time of delivery and individual patient prescription capabilities.

NALTREXONE
- Molecular Formula: C20H23NO4
- Molecular Weight: 341.4 g/mol
- Naltrexone has multiple hydroxyl groups results in it being a polar molecule, despite the presence of a benzene ring which is a non-polar structure. As a result, Naltrexone is often combined with straight-chain ester pro-drugs, however Dermaportation was able to achieve the results set out with the use of such esters.
