OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to design and evaluate a chitosan-based film that has properties required for successful wound dressing, and can control drug penetration and maintenance time in the location. METHODS Several formulations of a film containing chitosan (3%) and different concentrations of Eudragit RL (0.5%, 1%, and 1.5%) were prepared using the casting/solvent evaporating t...

In the present study, is to development of Azelnidipine (AZP) transdermal patches and to study the effect of Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) on drug permeation through across the rat abdominal skin. The transdermal patches were prepared by solvent casting method using different amounts and combination of hydroxyl propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC E15), Ethyl cellulose (EC) and Eudragit RS100 (ERS). The d...

KGaA, Weinheim 6023 wileyonlinelibrary.com Our work is inspired by passive transport across cell membranes, which offer an intriguing example of regulating membrane permeability based on transmembrane hydrophilic/hydrophobic interactions. [ 10 ] The cell membrane has a lipid bilayer structure consisting of hydrophilic phosphate outer layers and hydrophobic hyd...
