Abstract
The enhancing effects of lemon oil on the transdermal penetration of flurbiprofen through rat skin invitro and in vivo was investigated. The maximum flux achieved by Isopropyl alcohol (IPA):Propylene glycol (PG) (70:30% v/v) solvent mixture was further increased by lemon oil. The flux of flurbiprofen through ethylene vinyl acetate microporous membrane was evaluated. The membrane altered the flux of flurbiprofen significantly. The reservoir type of transdermal patch was fabricated using flurbiprofen viscous system, ethylene vinyl acetate membrane, and backing film. Histological investigations were done on rat skin samples treated with solvent systems with or without penetration enhancer for 24 hr. No skin irritation was seen. Lemon oil produced more pronounced change in stratum corneum and the epidermis as compared with the control groups. The pharmacokinetics of flurbiprofen in albino rats following application of a transdermal patch for 24 hr was evaluated. The maximum plasma concentration (C(max)) and AUC(0-alpha) of the patch formulation was 1.7 and 1.6 times, increased respectively as compared with the control patch formulation. Quantity of the drug accumulated in the excised skin to which test patch formulation was applied was more than the one to which control patch formulation was applied. Anti-inflammatory effect in the Carrageenin-induced paw edema in rat was significantly higher than the control patch formulation.

Abstract
The objective of the study was to investigate the effect of nerodilol and carvone on the in vitro transdermal delivery of nicorandil so as to fabricate a membrane-moderated transdermal therapeutic system. The in vitro permeation studies were carried across the rat epidermal membrane from the hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) gels (prepared with 70:30 v/v ethanol-water) containing selected concentrations of a terpene such as nerodilol (0%w/w, 4%w/w, 8%w/w, 10%w/w, or 12%w/w) or carvone (0%w/w, 4%w/w, 8%w/w, 12%w/w, or 16%w/w). The amount of nicorandil permeated (Q(24)) from HPMC gel drug reservoir without a terpene was 3424.6+/-51.4 microg/cm(2), and the corresponding flux of the drug was 145.5+/-2.2 microg/cm(2). h. The flux of nicorandil increased with an increase in terpene concentration in HPMC gel. It was increased ranging from 254.9+/-3.1 to 375.7+/-3.2 microg/cm(2).h or 207.6+/-4.7 to 356.7+/-15.3 microg/cm(2). h from HPMC gels containing nerodilol (4%w/w to 12%w/w) or carvone (4%w/w to 16%w/w), respectively. Nerodilol increased the flux of nicorandil by about 2.62-folds whereas carvone increased the flux of the drug by about 2.49-folds across the rat epidermal membrane. The results of the Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) study indicated that the enhanced in vitro transdermal delivery of nicorandil might be due to the partial extraction of stratum corneum lipids by nerodilol or carvone. It was concluded that the terpenes, nerodilol and carvone, produced a marked penetration enhancing effect on the transdermal delivery of nicorandil that could be used in the fabrication of membrane-moderated transdermal therapeutic systems.

Abstract
The objective of the present study was to formulate a hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) gel drug reservoir system with ethanol-water as a solvent system and limonene as a penetration enhancer for enhancing the transdermal delivery of nicorandil so as to develop and fabricate a membrane-moderated transdermal therapeutic system (TTS). The in vitro permeation of nicorandil was determined across rat abdominal skin from a solvent system consisting of ethanol or various proportions of ethanol and water. The ethanol-water (70:30 v/v) solvent system that provided an optimal transdermal permeation was used in formulating an HPMC gel drug reservoir system with selected concentrations (0% w/w, 4% w/w, 6% w/w, 8% w/w or 10% w/w) of limonene as a penetration enhancer for further enhancement of transdermal permeation of nicorandil. The amount of nicorandil permeated in 24 h was found increased with an increase in the concentration of limonene in the drug reservoir system up to a concentration of 6% w/w, but beyond this concentration there was no further increase in the amount of drug permeated. The flux of nicorandil was 370.9 +/- 4.2 microg/cm2 x h from the drug reservoir system with 6% w/w of limonene, which is about 2.6 times the required flux to be obtained across rat abdominal skin for producing the desired plasma concentration for the predetermined period in humans. The results of a Fourier Transform Infrared study indicated that limonene enhanced the percutaneous permeation of nicorandil by partially extracting the stratum corneum lipids. It is concluded that the HPMC gel drug reservoir system prepared with a 70:30 v/v ethanol-water solvent system containing 6% w/w of limonene is useful in designing and fabricating a membrane-moderated TTS of nicorandil.

Abstract
The aim of this investigation was to find the effect of the ethanol-water solvent system and the ethanolic solution of carvone on the permeation of nimodipine across rat abdominal skin in order to select a suitable solvent system and optimal concentration of carvone for the development of membrane-moderated transdermal therapeutic system of nimodipine. The solubility of nimodipine in water, ethanol, and ethanol-water cosolvent systems, or the selected concentration of carvone [2% (w/w) to 12% (w/w)] in 60:40 (v/v) ethanol-water were determined. The effect of these solvents or cosolvent systems on the transdermal permeation of nimodipine was also studied using in vitro permeability studies across the rat abdominal skin. The co-solvent system containing 60:40 (v/v) of ethanol-water showed highest permeability across the rat abdominal skin. Further, the effect of ethanolic solution [60% (v/v) ethanol-water] of carvone [2% (w/w) to 12% (w/w)] on the in vitro permeation of nimodipine across the rat abdominal skin from 2% (w/w) hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) gel was also investigated. The transdermal permeability of nimodipine across rat abdominal skin was enhanced further by the addition of carvone to HPMC gel prepared with 60% (v/v) of ethanol. There was a steady effect on the flux of nimodipine (161.02 +/- 4.14 microg/cm2/hr) with an enhancement ratio of 4.56 when carvone was incorporated at a concentration of 10% (w/w) in HPMC gels prepared with 60% (v/v) ethanol. The Fourier transform infrared data indicated that ethanolic solution of carvone increased the transdermal permeability of nimodipine across the rat abdominal skin by partial extraction of lipids in the stratum corneum. The results suggest that 10% (w/w) of carvone in 60% (v/v) ethanol-water, along with HPMC as antinucleating agent may be useful for enhancing the skin permeability of nimodipine from the membrane-moderated transdermal therapeutic system.

Abstract
The effect of micellar solubilization on the enhancement of the solubility and percutaneous penetration of estradiol by the surface-active agent, tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate (TPGS) was characterized in this study. Results show that the solubility of estradiol was improved in the presence of TPGS through micellar solubilization. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) of TPGS increased with increasing ethanol concentration in the medium. With the flux corrected to the saturated level (J(corrected)) of the free form of estradiol, an increase in the alcohol content of the medium resulted in an increase in J(corrected) for all levels of TPGS examined. For the same level of alcohol content, an increase in the TPGS concentration mostly led to a small extent of decrease in J(corrected). However, the extent of decrease was more obvious in media containing more than 60% alcohol. We also confirmed that only an insignificant amount of TPGS was transported across the skin (below the detection limit of 2 microg/ml). Permeabilities (P(eff)), which describe the overall effects (DK/H) on the stratum corneum (SC), decreased with increasing TPGS concentration for media containing 0, 40, 60, and 80% alcohol, whereas they increased then decreased with increasing TPGS concentration for media containing 10 and 20% alcohol. The enhancement ratios based on P(eff) assuming that the medium contained 0% TPGS and alcohol as unity did not increase accordingly with increases in TPGS concentration at the same level as alcohol. Likewise, the enhancement ratios for the same level of TPGS increased with low alcohol content, but then decreased with increasing alcohol content. We concluded that micellar solubilization by TPGS was able to improve the solubility of estradiol, but it only had an insignificant influence on the skin. Interfacial coverage of TPGS with increasing TPGS concentration and hindrance of the partitioning of estradiol by the increasing alcohol content might play a role in influencing the permeability of estradiol.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of carvone on the permeation of nicardipine hydrochloride across the excised rat abdominal epidermis from 2% w/w hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) gel system. The HPC gel formulations containing nicardipine hydrochloride (1% w/w) and selected concentrations of carvone (0 to 12% w/w) were prepared, and evaluated for drug content, stability of the drug, and in vitro permeation of the drug through excised rat abdominal epidermis. The HPC gel was found to contain 99.98 to 101.6% of nicardipine hydrochloride, and the drug was found to be stable in the HPC gels. The permeation flux of nicardipine hydrochloride across rat epidermis was increased markedly by the addition of carvone to the HPC gels. A maximum flux of nicardipine hydrochloride (243.95.70 +/- 1.90 microg/cm2/hr) was observed with an enhancement ratio of 7.9 when carvone was incorporated at a concentration of 12% w/w in the HPC reservoir system. The differential scanning calorimetry and Fourier transform-infrared data indicated that carvone increased the permeability of nicardipine hydrochloride across the rat epidermis by partial extraction of lipids in the stratum corneum. The results suggest that carvone may be useful for enhancing the skin permeability of nicardipine hydrochloride from transdermal therapeutic system containing HPC gel as a reservoir.

Abstract
The diffusion of nicotine in ethanol/water mixtures into an ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer membrane was studied by FTIR imaging. The spatial and temporal distribution of each component in the EVA membrane was demonstrated in the FTIR images. The concentration profiles extracted from these images showed that segregation occurs during diffusion. Nicotine diffuses into EVA ahead of the solvent for 0-60 wt% ethanol/water mixtures, but the segregation behavior changes as the ethanol in the solvent increases to 80 wt%; for the 80 wt% ethanol solvent, D(2)O leads the diffusion front, and for the 100% ethanol solvent, ethanol diffuses into EVA first. The initial swelling rates were calculated from the concentration profiles, and an exponential trend with increasing ethanol in the solvent was observed. The concentration profiles were also used to calculate average diffusion coefficients for the overall solutions and specifically for nicotine. The relative intensities of the aromatic ring stretching bands of nicotine in solution indicate that the solvation properties in pure ethanol and water are not equivalent; a pseudo-conjugation scheme between water and nicotine was proposed to account for this difference. Examination of the intensity of the carbonyl band of the EVA film revealed an interaction with the solvents by hydrogen bonding.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of our study was to clarify the kinetic performance of a membrane controlled reservoir system (MCRS) for beta-estradiol (E2) under in vitro conditions by determination of the role of membrane and adhesive layer on E2 flux control. METHODS E2 and ethanol fluxes across EVA membrane or membrane coated with adhesive from saturated solutions in defined ethanol/PBS mixtures were measured in the symmetric and asymmetric configuration. Physicochemical parameters of the EVA membrane were determined. RESULTS The E2 flux across the 9% EVA membrane steadily increased with increasing ethanol concentrations in both configurations, due to enhanced uptake of E2 by the polymer and increasing membrane diffusivity. Permeation across the EVA membrane coated with an adhesive layer in symmetric and asymmetric configuration increased up to maximum values of 0.80+/-0.14 micrograms X cm-2 X h-1 and 0.37+/-0.02 micrograms X cm-2 X h-1, respectively, at 62.5% (v/v) ethanol. The fluxes then decreased with further increase in the volume fraction of ethanol due to a dramatically reduced permeability of the adhesive layer. For the asymmetric case, a linear dependence of E2 on the ethanol fluxes was observed. CONCLUSIONS The E2 flux from MCRS is strictly dependent on reservoir ethanol concentrations, whereas the adhesive layer represents the rate controlling barrier at high ethanol levels (> 70% v/v).

Abstract
The effect of chemical penetration enhancers (e.g., fatty acids) in combination with iontophoresis was examined on the in vitro permeability of luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) through porcine skin. Porcine epidermis was pretreated with either ethanol (EtOH) or 10% fatty acid/EtOH. The permeability coefficient of LHRH was significantly (p < 0.05) greater through EtOH, lauric acid/EtOH, palmitic acid/EtOH, oleic acid/EtOH, linoleic acid/EtOH, and linolenic acid/EtOH treated epidermis than the control (untreated epidermis). Iontophoresis further enhanced the permeability of LHRH (p < 0.05) through enhancer-pretreated epidermis in comparison with corresponding passive permeability. Among saturated fatty acids tested, 10% palmitic acid/iontophoresis showed the highest permeability coefficient [(59.52 +/- 2.40) x 10(-4) cm/h], which was approximately 16-fold higher than that of the control [(3.57 +/- 0.41) x 10(-4) cm/h]. Unsaturated cis-octadecenoic acids were more effective penetration enhancers when compared with octadecanoic acid. Among cis-octadecenoic acids in combination with EtOH, the greater iontophoretic permeability coefficient [(59.18 +/- 12.43) x 10(-4) cm/h] was obtained through linolenic acid treated epidermis, which was significantly greater (p < 0.05) than through saturated octadecanoic acid treated epidermis [(29.08 +/- 3.18) x 10(-4) cm/h]. Also, pretreatment of epidermis with 5% linolenic acid/propylene glycol (PG) resulted in greater (p < 0.05) iontophoretic flux of LHRH in comparison to 5% linolenic acid/EtOH. Furthermore, increases in the degree of unsaturation in octadecenoic acids did not produce corresponding increases in the degree of enhancement. Reversibility studies revealed that the postrecovery passive flux of LHRH through 5% linolenic acid in combination with EtOH or PG/iontophoresis treated epidermis was significantly (p < 0.05) reduced than the prerecovery value but could not completely recover to the baseline flux (i.e., flux of LHRH through untreated epidermis).

Abstract
The improvement in solubility of indomethacin due to the presence of menthol in various cosolvent systems consisting of water, alcohol and propylene glycol was examined by a mixture design in this study. A proper model to quantitatively describe the effect of menthol at different concentrations on the solubility of indomethacin was compared based on the statistical parameters provided by DESIGN-EXPERT. Then three cosolvent systems with the addition of menthol to solubilize indomethacin to extents of 1.0, 1.5 or 2.0% w/v were selected. The penetration of indomethacin through nude mouse skin from these three cosolvent systems with the addition of 0-12% menthol was investigated and followed by a discussion on the penetration mechanism. The results showed that menthol was able to improve drug solubility to different extents for different cosolvent systems. Optimally, a cosolvent system with an equal ratio of the three solvents, water, alcohol and propylene glycol, showed the highest extent of improvement in the solubility at all concentrations of menthol. The enhancement factors for indomethacin penetration due to menthol in different cosolvent systems were compared, based either on the permeation coefficient (Kp) or the separate overall effects on the skin (Flux). Both comparisons gave similar results. The influence of menthol was more significant compared to that of the cosolvent systems and the extent of this influence increased with an increase in the amount added, reaching a maximum at a specific amount of menthol for each different cosolvent system.

Composite membranes were prepared by casting a linear poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (pHEMA) solution onto polyester non-woven supports, and then the supported pHEMA within the membranes was cross-linked by a diisocyanate cross-linking agent to form a network structure. The swelling and permeation properties of these membranes were evaluated, with a system of nitroglycerin and aqueous ethanol solution, for potential application in transdermal drug delivery. The degree of swelling of these membranes in water and aqueous ethanol decreases as the cross-linker content is increased and increases slightly with an increase in the original molecular weight of the linear pHEMA. The permeation rates of both nitroglycerin and ethanol increase as the cross-linker content is reduced, the polymer molecular weight increases, and the concentration of the casting solution or membrane thickness decreases. Depending on the preparation conditions, the membranes can be tailored to give a permeation flux ranging from 4 to 68 micrograms cm-2 h-1 for nitroglycerin.

Abstract
The study was to develop a transdermal therapeutic system for chlorpheniramine maleate (CPM). The diffusion characteristics of CPM were determined using Franz diffusion cells, from gelled ethanol-water solutions of CPM (5, 10, and 20%). TESTSKIN Living Skin Equivalent (LSE) was used to study the enhancement effect of ethanol-water solutions. The 0.6 volume fraction of ethanol gave the highest diffusion rate of CPM (Jss = 1.591 mg/cm2h). The diffusion and partition coefficient data revealed that changes in ethanol volume fraction of the vehicle and ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) membrane characteristics directly affect CPM partitioning and diffusion across EVA membranes and EVA-pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) laminates. The data also suggest a possible interaction of CPM with the PSA. The steady state fluxes attained with 20% CPM gel is 34 micrograms/cm2h, which is enough to keep the drug within its therapeutic plasma levels.

Abstract
The influence of co-solvents on the in-vitro percutaneous penetration of indomethacin from gel systems was studied using a simplex lattice experimental design. Gel formulations were prepared by gelling the vehicle mixture of water, either alcohol or isopropanol and either propylene glycol or PEG 400 with 1% w/w Carbomer 940. Hairless mouse skin was employed as the barrier in a Franz-type diffusion cell. The penetration rates at steady state for seven formulations were fitted to a polynomial equation based on this simple lattice method and a three-dimensional plot was constructed. The formulation having the maximal penetration rate was determined to be the vehicle with a solvent ratio of water: alcohol: propylene glycol equal to 15:33:52, and which possessed a solubility parameter of 15 and a drug solubility of around 10 mg mL-1. When the solubility parameter of the vehicle was > 15, the drug solubility increased. However, the penetration rate decreased with an increasing solubility parameter. For those vehicles with a solubility parameter < 15, both the drug solubility and the penetration rate decreased with a decrease in the solubility parameter. There was shown to be an approximately 20-fold increase in the relative enhancement factor when using both alcohol and isopropanol, but only a threefold increase for both propylene glycol and PEG 400, when compared with water.

Abstract
The cohesion parameters of diclofenac and propranolol were determined experimentally. The theoretical partition coefficient (Ps,v) was calculated from the activity coefficient (gamma) and the cohesion parameters of the solvent (delta 1 = delta v), solute (delta 2), and skin (delta s). By using the extended Hildebrand solubility equation, the potential energy of solute-solvent interaction in a given solution was considered to have the gamma value derived from solubility data of diclofenac and propranolol in ethanol-aqueous buffer. Values for experimental permeability coefficients (Kp), which were determined from flux and solubility, were compared with values for the respective Ps,v. For a solvent that consists of ethanol-aqueous buffer exhibiting cohesion parameters in the range of delta v = 18-24 (cal/cm3)1/2, the fluxes increased and the Kp decreased because of the similarity in cohesion parameters of these solvents to the solute. The difference between Ps,v and experimental Kp suggests that ethanol in the solvent affects the membrane and diclofenac and propranolol penetrate through the membrane, possibly solvated by ethanol.

Abstract
The performance of two prototypical ethanol-water flux-enhanced transdermal therapeutic systems were compared to the performance of commercial Transderm-Nitro 10. This was a single-center, open-label, three-treatment, randomized crossover study in six healthy subjects who completed the study. Concurrent with each transdermal treatment, an infusion of the stable isotope [15N]3-nitroglycerin was administered. The use of double isotope methodology was incorporated into this study to minimize the variation introduced by fixed-effect error on the evaluation of transdermal flux. The objectives of this study were to isolate experimentally and characterize the average flux enhancement of each prototype, to determine the temporal profile of delivery, and to evaluate the components of variance of drug delivery from each transdermal system. The results of this study showed that the two flux-enhanced transdermal systems with different fill volumes both produced flux enhancement factors of 2 to 3 relative to Transderm-Nitro 10. Prototype B demonstrated a 57% reduction in intersubject variation relative to Transderm-Nitro 10 indicative of enhanced control of drug permeation across a subject population. Prototype A, while reducing intersubject variations, was less than optimal. Both prototypes demonstrated comparable intrasubject variation relative to Transderm-Nitro 10, indicating similar stability for within-subject transdermal drug delivery. The flux enhancement and variational properties of Prototype B were consistent with those intended based on mechanistic considerations of mutual nitroglycerin and ethanol-coupled transdermal delivery.

Abstract
The enhancing effect of combining 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (MP) and 1-lauryl-2-pyrrolidone (LP) as the vehicles for transdermal penetration of phenolsulphonphthalein (phenol red) has been investigated by using an in-vitro technique with excised rat skin. LP had a higher enhancing effect on the penetration of phenol red than MP, but there was a long lag time before steady-state penetration was attained. A potent effect with a shorter lag time was obtained when MP and LP were used together. This potentiation was maintained when the concentration of MP was decreased by 95%. The combined vehicle also enhanced the skin accumulation of phenol red. MP promoted the rapid penetration of LP into the skin and potentiated the enhancing effect of LP on the penetration of phenol red and thereby shortened the lag time. The combined vehicle also enhanced the penetration of the hydrophilic anticancer agent, 5-fluorouracil.

Abstract
Sorption of ethanol and water into stratum corneum, delipidized stratum corneum, and triolein as a simple model lipid was investigated. Optima in ethanol sorption and flux are related to dehydration of keratins. There was no optimum for solubility in triolein; a linear cosolvency is observed with ethanol:triolein mixtures. A model is proposed which qualitatively predicts the key features of ethanol-enhanced skin permeation on the basis of these solubility phenomena and a constant diffusion coefficient.
