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...

The purpose of this review is to give an insight into the considerable potential of lecithin based nanocarriers. The lecithin microemulsion and closely related microemulsion based systems are currently of interest to pharmaceutical researchers. Conventional systems for topical delivery of drugs meet many hindrances like reduced permeation and entrapment efficiency. Lecithin nanocarriers with th...

Micro emulsion based Gel formulation provides better application property and stability & makes it dual control release system in comparison to cream and ointment. Topical Microemulsion based gel drug administration is a localized drug delivery system anywhere in the body through ophthalmic, rectal, vaginal and skin as topical routes. Many advantages of gels a major limitation is in the deliver...

in this study, tretinoin microemulsion has been formulated based on phase diagram studies by changing the amounts and proportions of inactive ingredients, such as surfactants, co-surfactants and oils. the effects of these variables have been determined on microemulsion formation, particle size of the dispersed phase and release profile of tretinoin from microemulsion through dialysis membrane. ...

Microemulsions improve the transdermal delivery of several drugs over conventional topical preparations such as emulsions and gels: enhanced drug solubilization, increased skin flux, decreased diffusion coefficient. Microemulsion-based systems find significant improvement in antifungals. We believe that drug-loaded microemulsion will show better antifungal activity by penetration into fungal ce...

BACKGROUND Compound Arnebiae radix oil has been clinically applied to treat burns and scalds for a long time. However, it is unstable and inconvenient to use. The aim of this study was to prepare a compound Arnebiae radix microemulsion gel for transdermal delivery system and evaluate its characteristics. MATERIALS AND METHODS Based on the solubility of Shikonin, the active component of Arnebi...
