In vitro skin permeation of sinigrin from its phytosome complex
(Wiley, 2016)
Objectives: Sinigrin is a major glucosinolate present in plants of the Brassicaceae family. Recently sinigrin and its phytosome formulations have been investigated for its wound healing actions, by our research group. The ...
Treatment modalities for acne
(MDPI, 2016)
Acne is a common inflammatory skin disease which affects the pilosebaceous units of the skin. It can have severe psychological effects and can leave the patient with severe skin scarring. There are four well-recognized ...
Traversing the skin barrier with nano-emulsions
(Bentham Science, 2016)
In recent years, colloidal delivery systems based on nano-emulsion are gaining popularity; being used for encapsulation and delivery of many drugs. Nano-emulsions are thermokinetically stable dispersion systems, which ...
Whey protein/polysaccharide-stabilized oil powders for topical application: release and transdermal delivery of salicylic acid from oil powders compared to redispersed powders
(Springer, 2015)
Oil-in-water (o/w) emulsions are commonly converted into solid-like powders in order to
improve their physical and chemical stabilities. The aim of this study was to investigate whether whey
protein/polysaccharide-stabilized ...
In vitro wound healing and cytotoxic effects of sinigrin-phytosome complex
(Elsevier, 2016)
Sinigrin is a class of glucosinolates found naturally in plants of the Brassicaceae family. Lately, studies have shown that sinigrin possesses anticancer, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activities. Since its efficacy ...
In vitro permeation of metals through human skin: a review and recommendations
(American Chemical Society, 2015)
During the last few decades, the interest in skin permeation of, specifically, metals has increased with the in vitro method utilizing diffusion cells as the prominent method of investigating permeability. This review ...
Cutaneous tuberculosis overview and current treatment regimens
(Elsevier, 2015)
Tuberculosis is one of the oldest diseases known to humankind and it is currently a worldwide threat

human immunodeficiency ...
Breaching the skin barrier through temperature modulations
(Elsevier, 2015)
The impermeability of the stratum corneum often hinders the transport of molecules across the skin. Temperature modulations in the skin and the application of local heat both have the potential of circumventing this problem ...
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 ...
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™ ...
