چکیده مقاله:

      Losartan potassium is a well known orally active non-peptide angiotensin II receptor antagonist. Losartan potassium and its principle active metabolites block the vasoconstrictor and aldosterone secreting effect of angiotensin II by selectively blocking the binding of angiotensin II to AT1 receptors. The drug is reported to promote the decrease in ventricular hypertrophy, salt and water excretion and vascular smooth muscle relaxation. Present investigation was aimed at the formulation of transdermal therapeutic system of losartan potassium for effective control over hypertension since the drug shows considerable first pass metabolism when administered through oral route. Blends of hydrophobic and hydrophilic polymers like ethyl cellulose with polyvinyl pyrrolidone and ethyl cellulose with hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose were used in the formulation of the medicated films. Films were prepared using dibutyl phthalate as plasticizer with eighteen different combinations of these three polymers by solvent evaporation technique. Polyvinyl alcohol was used to prepare the backing membrane. Several physicochemical parameters like moisture content, moisture uptake, thickness, film folding endurance, tensile strength, skin irritation and surface morphology of the films were studied. For all the formulations, skin permeation of the loaded drug through albino mice skin was studied using Keshary-Chien diffusion cell. Formulations containing higher proportion of hydrophilic polymers blended with lower proportions of hydrophobic polymer were found less consistent in comparison to the patches comprised of higher proportion of hydrophobic polymer.

Formulation of microemulsion gel systems for transdermal delivery of celecoxib: In vitro permeation, anti-inflammatory activity and skin irritation tests.

The aim of this study was to develop suitable microemulsion gel systems for transdermal delivery that could assist dissolution enhancement of poorly water soluble celecoxib and thus improve its skin permeability. Long term oral administration of celecoxib causes serious gastrointestinal adverse effects, which makes it a good candidate for transdermal formulations, yet its low water solubility (...

Formulation, Characterization, and In Vitro Evaluation of Transdermal Patches for Inhibiting Crystallization of Mefenamic Acid

The crystallization of mefenamic acid in transdermal patch is a major problem that makes the patch unstable and decreases the drug release. The additive was used to inhibit crystallization of a mefenamic acid. Among the different types of additives, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) K30 and PVP K90 were studied and found to be highly effective in inhibiting the crystallization of the drug. The PVP pre...
