Ultradeformable liposomes represent useful formulations able to increase the skin permeation of drug compounds. In this study, resveratrol- and 5-fluorouracil-loaded ultradeformable liposomes were investigated for the potential treatment of non-melanoma skin cancer. The in vitro anticancer activity of ultradeformable liposomes was tested on human skin cancer cells through viability-, cell cycle- and apoptosis-analysis. Furthermore, we tested the percutaneous permeation of ultradeformable liposomes using human stratum corneum and viable epidermis. The co-encapsulation of resveratrol and 5-fluorouracil (multi-drug carrier) in ultradeformable liposomes improved their anticancer activity on skin cancer cells as compared to both the free drug form and the single entrapped agents. These multidrug ultradeformable liposomes arrest cell proliferation in G(1)/S, thus modifying the action of 5-fluorouracil and increasing the activity of resveratrol. This effect might depend on the ultradeformable liposomes, which may accumulate in deeper skin layers, thus generating a cutaneous depot from which resveratrol and 5-fluorouracil are gradually released. Resveratrol and 5-fluorouracil co-loaded ultradeformable liposomes could be a new nanomedicine for the treatment of squamous cell carcinoma, i.e., actinic keratosis, Bowen's disease, and keratoacanthoma.
