FORMULATION DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATION OF TRANSFEROSOMAL GEL
Abstract
Transfersomes are particularly optimized, ultradeformable (ultraflexible) lipid supramolecular aggregates, which are able to penetrate the mammalian skin intact. Transfersome is a type of carrier system which is capable of transdermal delivery of low as well as high molecular weight drugs. Transfersomes penetrate through the pores of stratum corneum which are smaller than its size and get into the underlying viable skin in intact form. Acne vulgaris is a disease of the pilosebaceous follicle characterized by non-inflammatory (open and closed comedones) and inflammatory lesions (papules, pustules, and nodules). In such situation transdermal drug delivery remains the most preferential mode of administration. But, stratum corneum forms the most formidable barrier for the penetration of drug through skin. To overcome the stratum corneum barrier, the use of lipid vesicles like transfersomes in delivery systems has involved increasing attention in recent years. The aim of the present study was to statistically optimize the vesicular formulations (Transfersomes) for enhanced skin delivery of a model drug Clindamycin Phosphate.
