RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To develop hot melt pressure sensitive adhesive (HMPSA) for transdermal use, and to investigate the in vitro drug release and permeation property of HMPSA based patches. METHODS: HMPSA was prepared using styrene-isoprene-styrene triblock copolymer (SIS), C5 petroleum resin hydrogenate, lanoline, liquid paraffin, dibutyl phthalate, 2, 6-ditertbutyl-cresol as material under orthogonal design. The formulation of HMPSA was screened using stickiness, melt temperature and vapor permeation rate as index. The in vitro drug release behavior and transdermal property of the optimized HMPSA were evaluated using a-asarone as model drug. RESULTS: The optimized formulation of HMPSA (HMPSA-OP) was followed as: SIS: C5 petroleum resin hydrogenate: lanoline: liquid paraffin: dibutylphthalate: 2, 6-ditertbutyl-cresol=100:140:20:40:20:2. HMPSA-OP had shown more rapid drug release than ordinary HMPSA. And the in vitro transdermal flux of HMPSA-OP was (4.75±0.84) μg · cm-2 · h-1, higher than that of ordinary HMPSA and acrylate PSA. CONCLUSION: The HMPSA-OP shows good property and was suitable to prepare transdermal patch.
RESUMO
Azone ( 1桪odeylazacyclohenptan-2-one) is one of the best skin penetration enhancers. It can increase the permeability of skin for some hydrophobic compounds, so that it is possible to be admi-nistrated through skin. The effects of Azone on permeability of skin of a-Asarone, Nicorandil and Nitroglycerin were studied by flow through diffusion cell with radioactivity tracer.The results showed that the different concentrations of Azone gave different enhancement. The penetration of the 3 drugs was enhanced about 1-fold by
