Studies on in vitro Transdermal Permeability of Nifedipine Nanoemulsion Containing Different Permeation Enhancers / 中国药师

ABSTRACT

Objective:To study the in vitro transdermal permeability of nifedipine nanoemulsion ( NFNE) containing different per-meation enhancers to lay foundation for the development of transdermal nifedipine preparation. Methods: Franz diffusion cells were used to study the transdermal enhancement of NFNE with different transdermal enhancers ( Azone, oleic acid, TMC20, TMC40, TMC60). Results:The in vitro transdermal effect of NFNE was better than that of nifedipine (NF). The order of in vitro transdermal permeation enhancement was as follows azone > oleic acid > TMC60 > TMC40 > TMC20, while the water-soluble transdermal permeation enhancers had faster effect. Conclusion:For NFNE, fat-soluble transdermal permeation enhancers have better effect.
