The dipole potential (Psi(d)) constitutes a large and functionally important part of the electrostatic potential of cell plasma membranes. However, its direct measurement is not possible. Herein, new 3-hydroxyflavone fluorescent probes were developed that respond strongly to Psi(d) changes by

Phloretin and 6-ketocholestanol are penetration enhancers for percutaneous delivery of certain topically applied drugs. In the present study some physicochemical experiments have been performed to elucidate the mechanism of action of phloretin and 6-ketocholestanol. The penetration enhancing effect of phloretin

In this study, the effect of lipophilic counter-ions on the permeation of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) in combination with skin impregnation by phloretin and 6-ketocholestanol was evaluated. Standard in vitro permeation experiments with porcine skin were performed analysing the ALA content

In the present study, we investigated the feasibility of enhancing the transport of the model drug sodium-fluorescein across rat, porcine and human skin by treating it with phloretin and 6-ketocholestanol. Both 6-ketocholestanol and phloretin were incorporated into unilamellar liposomes and

The ability of 6-ketocholestanol to increase the skin permeation of the prodrug aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) was investigated. 6-Ketocholestanol was incorporated together with 5-ALA in four different formulations. Preparations used were a liquid solution/suspension of 5-ALA in buffer, 5-ALA in phospholipid
