Physicochemical data of oleic acid-poloxamer organogel for intravaginal voriconazole delivery.

Functional polymeric nanoparticles have attracted attention for different biomedical applications, including drug delivery. Poloxamers (PL), a synthetic copolymers of poly(ethyleneoxide)-b-poly(propylene oxide)-b-poly(ethylene oxide), that exhibit thermoreversible behavior in aqueous solutions. Physicochemical properties of Oleic Acid-Poloxamer (OA-PL) organogel for intravaginal controlled Voriconazole (VRC) delivery were assessed using three different oils (isopropyl myristate - IPM, isopropyl palmitate - IPP, and oleic acid - OA, in order to select the most suitable oil phase for increasing the solubility of the drug and its dispersion in the final aqueous phase. Organogel structural organization was assessed by VRC partition coefficient, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), rheological analysis, and drug release assay. These data are complementary to the research article entitled "Sodium alginate in oil-poloxamer organogels for intravaginal drug delivery: influence on structural parameters, drug release mechanisms, cytotoxicity and antifungal activity" - Materials Science and Engineering: C, 2019. 99: p. 1350-1361.
