Chitosan-Chondroitin Composite Films: Comparison with In Vitro Skin Permeation Data of Hydrophilic and Lipophilic Drugs
Authors
Abstract:
Preformulation studies on transdermal dosage forms involve liberal use of animal skin for assessing the permeation characteristics of drugs, influence of permeation enhancers, optimizing the formulation variables etc. The restricted availability of animal skin due to concerns regarding prevention of cruelty to animals has generated considerable interest in developing polymeric films for use as skin substitute during in vitro permeation experiments. The present investigation aimed at preparing films containing different ratios of chitosan (CH) to chondroitin sulphate (CS) and rigidizing them by dipping in sodium tripolyphosphate (NaTPP) solution. Statistical optimization designs were employed to screen and optimize the active process and formulation variables that significantly influenced the in vitro permeation of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and indomethacin (INDO), model polar and non-polar drugs, respectively, across these polyelectric composite (PEC) films. CH to CS ratio, concentration of NaTPP and rigidization time was found to significantly influence the in vitro permeation of both drugs. The presence of both sulfonate and phosphonate linkages in PEC films rigidized by 2% w/v NaTPP allowed lowest permeation of either drug. However, films rigidized by 2.5% w/v NaTPP retained predominantly phosphonate linkages and were highly permeable to both drugs. The in vitro permeation of both drugs across optimized film formulations was not found to be significantly (p

full texta comparison of teachers and supervisors, with respect to teacher efficacy and reflection
supervisors play an undeniable role in training teachers, before starting their professional experience by preparing them, at the initial years of their teaching by checking their work within the proper framework, and later on during their teaching by assessing their progress. but surprisingly, exploring their attributes, professional demands, and qualifications has remained a neglected theme i...
15 صفحه اولMechanism of transdermal permeation promotion of lipophilic drugs by ethosomes
Ethosomes can promote the penetration of lipophilic drugs into the skin, but the underlying mechanism is still unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate the mechanism of transdermal permeation promotion of lipophilic drugs by ethosomes. The formulation of ethosomes was optimized using the Box-Behnken experimental design, in which Rhodamine B and 1-palmitoyl-2-{12-[(7-nitro-2-1,3-ben...

Influence of Chemical Permeation Enhancers on the in vitro Skin Permeation of Minoxidil through Excised Rat Skin: A Mechanistic Study
Abstract: Minoxidil, a pyrimidine derivative (2, 4-diamino-6-piperidinopyrimidine-3-oxide) is the only topical medical treatment with proven efficacy for the treatment of Androgenetic alopecia that shown low skin penetration and bioavailability. The main aim of this research was to investigate the effect of some permeation enhancers on the in vitro skin permeability of minoxidil . Minoxid...
