Lecithin - Stabilized Microemulsion: An Organogel for Topical Application of Ketorolac Tromethamine. I: Phase Behavior Studies
The partial phase behavior of systems composed of lecithin/isopropyl myristate (IPM)/water or ketorolac tromethamine (KT) solutions (2.5, 5, 10 and 50% w/w) at various lecithin/IPM weight ratios (km) have been investigated by the construction of phase diagrams. A commercially available soybean lecithin (namely, Epikuron 200, phosphatidylcholine purity greater than 95%) was used in this study. P...

متن کاملFerulic Acid Lecithin-Based Nano-Emulsions Prepared by Using Spontaneous Emulsification Process
Ferulic acid (4-hydroxy-3-methoxycinnamic acid), an effective component of medical plant, is a phenolic acid with low toxicity that can be absorbed and easily metabolized in the human body. The solubility of Ferulic Acid (FA) is very low in aqueous solutions which can cause problem in preparation of pharmaceutical products, but it can easily be dissolved in oil/water interface of <...
متن کاملLecithin - Stabilized Microemulsion - Based Organogels for Topical Application of Ketorolac Tromethamine. II. Invitro Release Study
Ketorolac tromethamine (KT) containing microemulsion-based gels (MBGs) have been formulated, based on the previous phase diagram studies, using a pharmaceutically acceptable surfactant (soybean lecithin; Epikuron 200) and oil (isopropyl myristate; IPM) and the effect of formulation variables on the release profile of the drug from MBGs through intact guinea pig skin and various artificial membr...
متن کاملPassages in Lecithin-Water Systems
Large numbers of tunnel-like structures apparently connecting neighbouring bilayers were found in phase-contrast microscopy of certain preparations of egg lecithin in water. These passages either cause a pairing of the bilayers or form threedimensional lattices. They appear to originate while the lecithin swells in water. Some theoretical aspects of passage formation in fluid bilayers is shown ...
