Synopsis The effect of several variables on the in vitro permeation of urea through hairless mouse skin has been studied in order to determine the causes of an increasing permeability phenomenon found in studies with a range of hydrophilic compounds. The permeation of urea increased for a period of approximately 100 h after which a steady state permeation pattern was observed for approximately ...

and underlayed viable epidermis and dermis. Because the SC is highly lipophilic, dry and a relatively effective percutaneous barrier, skin penetration is influenced by physicochemical properties of compounds. Hydrophobic compounds penetrate more easier than hydrophilics and lower than high molecular weight. Relationships between penetration flux and physicochemical properties include: lipophili...

       Cyproterone acetate (CA) has been loaded to liposome by solvent evaporation and thin film formation technique. The effects of some formulation variables such as temperature of organic solvent evaporation, rotary evaporator speed, volume of organic solvent, volume of balloon and temperature of hydrating buffer has been evaluated. The data showed that bigger balloon with higher surface are...

Promoting effect of cyclic monoterpenes on percutaneous absorption of antiarrythmics drugs disopyramide, lidocaine and trimecaine was investigated in the rats. Laurocapram (Azone) was used as a standard comparator of penetration enhancement. The absorption of trimecaine was significantly enhanced by addition of limonene, trans-p-menthane and Azone in 1% concentration. Lidocaine and disopyramide...

The influence of uraemia on percutaneous absorption of three model drugs (diclofenac, ibuprofen and indomethacin) which are eliminated entirely via nonrenal route was investigated in the rats. Following day after bilateral nephrectomy (BUN levels were between 30-50 mmol/l), gel ointment containing drugs under test was applied on the abdominal site of the skin. Comparing with the sham operated c...
