ABSTRACT

Microemulsão (ME) é um sistema que foi descoberto por Hoar e Schulman no ano de 1943 e que é termodinamicamente estável e isotropicamente translúcido de dois líquidos imiscíveis (óleo/água), estabilizados por um filme interfacial de tensoativos. O estudo de sistemas microemulsionados se baseia nas suas três teorias de formação: (1) teoria da solubilização, (2) teoria da tensão interfacial e (3) teoria termodinâmica. A estrutura formada é influenciada pelas propriedades físico-químicas dos componentes utilizados e da razão entre os componentes. O objetivo desta revisão foi avaliar o estado da arte de sistemas microemulsionados enfatizando uma abordagem teórica. Além disso, os recentes avanços sobre a aplicabilidade clínca e utilização como carreador de moléculas insolúveis foram discutidas.


Microemulsions (ME) are thermodynamically stable and isotropic systems of two immiscible liquids (oil/water), stabilized by an interfacial film of surfactants, discovered by Hoar and Schulman in 1943. The study of ME formation is based on three areas of theory: (1) solubilization, (2) interfacial tension and (3) thermodynamics. ME structures are influenced by the physicochemical properties and proportions of their ingredients. The goal of this review is to assess the state of the art of microemulsified systems, from a theoretical viewpoint. Also, recent progress on their clinical application and use as carriers for insoluble compounds is discussed.

ABSTRACT

O desenvolvimento de formulações para aplicação na pele é uma estratégia interessante para transportar fármacos cuja ação é a própria pele, representando uma alternativa para superar aspectos indesejados relacionados às características farmacocinéticas e farmacodinâmicas dos fármacos. No entanto, a pele apresenta camadas que formam uma barreira à penetração de fármacos. Desse modo, estratégias têm sido pesquisadas e os modernos estudos farmacêuticos apontam para o uso de métodos físicos e químicos, norteados no desenvolvimento de novas formas farmacêuticas, as quais devem apresentar propriedades físico-químicas e parâmetros farmacotécnicos adequados para o uso transdérmico.


The development of formulations for skin application is a good strategy for the delivery of drugs whose target is the skin itself, which avoids some unwanted effects of treatment arising from the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of drugs. However, the skin has layers that resist the penetration of drugs. Thus, new strategies have been researched and the latest pharmaceutical studies point to the use of physical and chemical methods aimed at the development of new drug delivery systems, exhibiting physicochemical properties and pharmaceutical parameters suitable for transdermal administration.

ABSTRACT

In this article, a nanosuspension of AmB was prepared and mixed with the preformed parenteral emulsion Lipofundin and subjected to high-pressure homogenization (SolEmuls technology). Characterization was performed by photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS), laser diffractometry (LD), and zeta potential measurements. Drug incorporation was studied by using light microscopy. The produced emulsions were further investigated by comparing them with the commercially available Fungizone in regard to antifungal efficiency and toxicity. Results suggest that through the SolEmuls process the AmB forms a reservoir, out of which it is released in such a manner that it is more efficient and less toxic than Fungizone.
