Evaluation of different setups for the measurement of drug penetration into the nail
Topical therapy of onychomycosis, a fungal infection of nail plate and/or nail bed, offers an attractive alternative to treatment with systemic antifungals. To treat fungal infections locally, antifungal-loaded nail lacquers have been prepared in our laboratory. Franz diffusion cells have been used to investigate drug permeation from such lacquers into and through the nail plate in vitro. Altho...
متن کاملSpotlight on tavaborole for the treatment of onychomycosis
Onychomycosis is a fungal nail plate infection that has been increasing in prevalence. A variety of oral and topical anti-fungal agents are currently available but their use is limited by their adverse effect profile, drug-drug interactions, and limited efficacy. Therefore, there is a great need for newer anti-fungal agents. Tavaborole is one of these newer agents and was approved by the US Foo...
متن کاملFormulation and Evaluation the Transungual Drug Delivery System of Fluconazole with Penetration Enhancer: Iresine Herbestii
The present study was to formulate a transungual drug delivery formulation. We targeted to formulate and evaluate fluconazole film for the nail fungal infection using extracted natural and evaluated penetration enhancer (PE). Model drug fluconazole was formulated with the natural extracted penetration enhancer with different ratios. The solvent for PE extraction was methanol and that extracts w...
متن کاملOnychomycosis: A Rare Presentation of Fungal Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) in Extremely Preterm Neonate
Onychomycosis refers to nail infections caused by any fungus, including yeasts and nondermatophyte molds. Fungal infection has emerged as an important cause of neonatal infections with significant morbidity and mortality, especially in extremely low and very low birth weight infants. We report a 24-days-old boy who presented with onychomycosis on left ring finger nail associated with fungal uri...
متن کاملRapid Treatment of Subungual Onychomycosis Using Controlled Micro Nail Penetration and Terbinafine Solution.
Onychomycosis continues to be a common and intractable problem in adults, often responding poorly to topical treatment due to limited drug penetration of the nail plate. Improving penetration has been attempted previously by chemical and physical means with some success. The authors present three cases of toenail onychomycosis treated topical terbinafine 1% solution using controlled micro-penet...
