Surfactants and Colloidal Systems

A matrix-dispersion type Transdermal Drug Delivery System (TDS) of Pentazocine (PZ) was fabricated, using combinations of rate controlling polymers, namely Eudragits RS100 (RS), RL100 (RL), Ethylcellulose (EC) and Polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), with the objective of examining the effects of formulation variables on drug-permeation profiles. In depth in-vitro drug release and skin-permeation kinetics with three different loads, and also the effects of combination of isopropyl Myristate (IPM), as permeation enhancer, were studied using male albino mice abdominal skin. The release of PZ over a 12 hour period followed Higuchi kinetics, while in-vitro mice-skin permeation of PZ followed an apparent Zero-order kinetics over a period of 24 hours.
