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

In this study the effect of phloretin (PH) and 6-ketocholestanol (KC) on the permeation of progesterone through porcine skin has been examined. Both PH and KC were incorporated into unilamellar L-alpha-phosphatidylcholine (PC) liposomes at different concentrations (7.5, 15, 30 and
Nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazol-4-yl (NBD) group is a widely used, environment-sensitive fluorescent probe. The negatively charged dithionite rapidly reduces the accessible NBD-labeled lipids in liposomes to their corresponding nonfluorescent derivatives. In this study both the phospholipid headgroup and acyl chain NBD-labeled L-alpha-1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-[N-(4-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazole)-ethanolamine] (DPPN)
