The effects of Azone and lauryl alcohol on the permeability of shed snakeskin were examined. Permeability of a variety of compounds through shed snakeskin was increased after Azone or lauryl alcohol pretreatment but the magnitude of the enhancement varied depending on the lipophilicity and the molecular size of the permeant. It was found that the shed snakeskin became more permeable after Azone or lauryl alcohol pretreatment, with a greater permeability increase for more hydrophilic and larger-molecular size permeants. As has been shown for untreated shed snakeskins, both the lipophilicity and the molecular size of the permeants are important in skin penetration and in determining the effects of transdermal penetration enhancers.

The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate a transdermal delivery system for RIS using hydrogels. First, the effects of different concentrations of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and Carbomer 934 (CBR) on RIS permeation were investigated in porcine skin. The optimized formulation was chosen as the base gel to screen for penetration enhancers.

Background: Ethosomes, a novel type of percutaneous drug delivery carrier with a lipid bilayer structure, penetrate the skin barrier due to their deformability and malleability, and presence of ethanol that fluidizes lipids in the skin. In order to further enhance the delivery of drugs through the skin, penetration enhancers are widely used.
Objective: The objective of this work was to develop an optimized formulation of lornoxicam ethosomal gels, investigate skin permeability with the addition of penetration enhancers, and evaluate the invivo pharmacodynamics of these formulations.
Optimized permeation enhancer for topical delivery of 5-fluorouracil-loaded elastic liposome using Design Expert: part II.

b Department of Pharmaceutics , Jamia Hamdard (Hamdard University), New Delhi , India.
Objective: To prepare and optimize the topical elastic liposome (EL)-loaded carbopol-980 gel of 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) containing permeation enhancers (azone, propylene glycol (PG) and lauryl alcohol (LA)) and further evaluation for permeation flux of 5-FU, the activation energy and irritation in the rat skin.
Methods: EL formulations were prepared using phosphatidylcholine and varied surfactants (Span 60, Span 80 and Tween-80) by rotator evaporation method and optimized by experimental design. In vitro characterizations dictated the EL containing Span 80 (lipid:surfactant = 7:3) (EL3-S80) for further optimization of gel.

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of ionization, current density and penetration enhancers on the iontophoretic delivery of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) through excised human stratum corneum (HSC). The iontophoretic (cathodal) transport of 5-FU was assessed in vitro at three physiologically relevant pH values of 5.0, 7.

The potential for low-frequency ultrasound facilitated topical transport of Cyclosporin A was investigated using rat skin. Studies of intensity and exposure time acting on the deposition of Cyclosporin A into deeper skin of in vitro sonophoresis were performed. Low-frequency ultrasound increased the amount of Cyclosporin A retained in the skin only seven times than the passive diffusion.
