Comparison of liposomal and NLC (nanostructured lipid carrier) formulations for improving the transdermal delivery of oxaprozin: Effect of cyclodextrin complexation
Development and comparison of liposomal and NLC (nanostructured lipid carrier) formulations to improve topical bioavailability of oxaprozin. Evaluation of the effectiveness of the combined approach of drug cyclodextrin (CD) complexation and complex entrapment in nanocarriers (NC). Permeation studies by artificial membranes: better power of drug-CD-NC systems than drug-NC or drug-CD ones; higher effect of liposomes than NLC. Permeation studies by human skin confirmed such results and evidenced an enhancer effect of NC components and/or of randomly-methylated ßCD.
