A topical microemulsion (ME)-based hydrogel was developed to enhance permeation of an antifungal drug, liranaftate (LRFE) for effective eradication of cutaneous fungal infection. Pseudo-ternary phase diagrams were used to determine the existence of MEs region. ME formulations were prepared with Di-isopropyl adaptate, Cremophore-EL, Ethanol and distilled water.

A microemulsion (ME) based hydrogel had studied as a topical delivery of sertaconazole (STZL) for effective eradication of cutaneous fungal infection. The existence of microemulsion region was investigated in pseudo-ternary phase diagrams and various ME formulations were prepared using oleic acid, Tween 80, propylene glycol and water. Hydrogel of STZL microemulsions (HSM) were prepared in Carbopol 940 (0.
