One long-standing approach for improving transdermal drug delivery uses penetration
enhancers (also called sorption promoters or accelerants) which penetrate into skin to …

Microemulsions are clear, stable, isotropic mixtures of oil, water, and surfactant, frequently in
combination with a cosurfactant. Microemulsions have been intensively studied during the …

Ethanol is widely used in all kinds of products with direct exposure to the human skin (eg
medicinal products like hand disinfectants in occupational settings, cosmetics like hairsprays …

Quantitative structure–permeability relationships (QSPRs) have been derived by many
researchers to model the passive, diffusion-controlled, percutaneous penetration of …

In the present study, ethanol was used with a commercially available lipid mixture, NAT
8539, to improve the topical delivery of cyclosporin A (CyA). The vesicles formed from this …

The potential use of ultradeformable and standard liposomes as skin drug delivery systems
was investigated in‐vitro. An improved experimental design gave a good measure for skin …

The purpose of this work was to prepare and characterize a novel ethosomal carrier for
tacrolimus, an immunosuppressant treating atopic dermatitis (AD), and to investigate …

Microemulsions are isotropic, thermodynamically stable transparent (or translucent) systems
of oil, water, and surfactant, frequently in combination with a cosurfactant with a droplet size …

Historically, the skin was thought to be a simple homogenous barrier. However, it is now
known to be a highly specialised organ, and plays a key role in homeostasis. The protective …

One approach to transdermal permeation enhancement investigated in this paper is to
increase the thermodynamic activity of a drug in the transdermal delivery system to …
