Silica xerogels doped with diclofenac diethylamine were prepared by the sol-gel method from a hydrolysed tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) solution containing diclofenac diethylamine. Two different catalysts, drying conditions and levels of water content were used to alter the microstructure of the silica xerogels. The aim of this study was to determine the rate of Diclofenac release from the silica xerogels. This in vitro study showed that the sol-gel method is useful for entrapping Diclofenac in the pores of xerogels. It also showed that, in vitro, Diclofenac is released from the silica xerogel, through the pores, by diffusion. Base-catalysed gels proved to be much more effective than acid-catalyzed gels.

The demonstration of bioequivalence proposed in the European Medicines Agency's (EMA's) draft guideline for topical products with the same qualitative and quantitative composition requires the confirmation of the internal structure equivalence. The impact of the shelf-life on the parameters proposed for internal structure comparison has not been studied. The objectives of this work were: (1) to quantify the effect of the time since manufacturing on the mean value and variability of the parameters proposed by the EMA to characterize the internal structure and performance of topical formulations of a complex topical formulation, and (2) to evaluate the impact of these changes on the assessment of the microstructure equivalence.

An RP-HPLC method with a UV detector was developed for the simultaneous quantification of diclofenac diethylamine, methyl salicylate, and capsaicin in a pharmaceutical formulation and rabbit skin samples. The separation was achieved using a Thermo Scientific ACCLAIM 120 C column (Waltham, MA, USA, 4.6 mm × 150 mm, 5 µm).

Oleic acid and oleyl alcohol are commonly used permeation and penetration enhancers to facilitate topical drug delivery. Here, we aimed to better understand the mechanism of their enhancing effects in terms of their interactions with the human skin barrier using diclofenac diethylamine (DIC-DEA), a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug for topical pain management. Oleic acid promoted DIC-DEA permeation through ex vivo human skin more rapidly than oleyl alcohol (both applied at 0.

Background: Monitoring impurities in drug products is a principal requirement of pharmaceutical regulatory authorities all over the world to ensure drug safety. For this reason, there is a great need for analytical QC of dugs products.
Objective: In this study, a simple, efficient, and direct HPLC method was developed for the determination of three impurities of diclofenac.
