Development of topical/transdermal self-emulsifying drug delivery systems, not as simple as expected
(MDPI, 2020)Self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDSs) originated as an oral lipid-based drug delivery system with the sole purpose of improving delivery of highly lipophilic drugs. However, the revolutionary drug delivery ... -
Essential fatty acids as transdermal penetration enhancers
(Elsevier, 2016)The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different penetration enhancers, containing essential fatty acids (EFAs), on the transdermal delivery of flurbiprofen. Evening primrose oil (EPO), vitamin F and Pheroid™ ... -
Penetration enhancing effects of selected natural oils utilized in topical dosage forms
(Taylor & Francis, 2015)Context: Various natural products, including oils, have been utilized as penetration enhancers due to their “safety profiles”. These oils contain fatty acids promoting skin permeability through lipid fluidization within ... -
Vesicular carriers for skin drug delivery: the Pheroid™ technology
(Bentham Science, 2015)The skin remains an attractive area for drug delivery. The skin, however, often limits the ingress of drugs, because of its very low permeability. Much research, focusing on employing a variety of physical and chemical ... -
Whey protein/polysaccharide-stabilized emulsions: effect of polymer type and pH on release and topical delivery of salicylic acid
(Springer, 2014)Emulsions are widely used as topical formulations in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. They are thermodynamically unstable and require emulsifiers for stabilization. Studies have indicated that emulsifiers could ...
