Effects of ethanol and propylene glycol alone or in combination on the transdermal properties of triamcinolone acetonide spray solution / 药学实践与服务

ABSTRACT

Objective To conduct in vitro transdermal test on triamcinolone acetonide spray solution, and investigate the effects of ethanol and propylene glycol alone or in combination on the in vitro transdermal function of triamcinolone acetonide spray solution. Methods Rabbit abdominal skin was selected, and the in vitro penetration test of triamcinolone acetonide spray solution was carried out by Franz diffusion cell method, and the content of triamcinolone acetonide was determined by HPLC. The rate of transdermal absorption was compared. Results The transdermal absorption rate of the combined use of ethanol and propylene glycol was significantly higher than that of the single use (P<0.05), and the order of promoting the penetration of triamcinolone acetonide spray solution when ethanol and propylene glycol were combined by 10% ethanol + 25% propylene glycol >10% ethanol + 20% propylene glycol >15% ethanol + 25% propylene glycol >15% ethanol + 20% propylene glycol. Conclusion The combination of 10% ethanol and 25% propylene glycol could optimize the transdermal function of triamcinolone acetonide spray solution.
