A fluconazole o/w microemulsion was developed for topical application using isopropyl myristate as the oil phase. Pseudo-ternary phase diagrams were constructed for the determination of existence region of micro emulsion region using the surfactant (tween 80 & Cremophor RH-40) and co-surfactant (ethanol). Different formulations were prepared for the evaluation of oil content, surfactant/co-surfactant concentration on in-vitro permeation rates. In-vitro transdermal permeability of flucanazole from the micro emulsions was evaluated using Keshary Chien diffusion cells mounted with 0.45µ with cellulose acetate membrane. The amount of drug (Fluconazole) permeated was analyzed by HPLC.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
