Application
- Formulation design and development of matrix diffusion controlled transdermal drug delivery of glimepiride.: This study discusses the design of a transdermal drug delivery system for glimepiride, utilizing matrix diffusion mechanisms potentially incorporating Isopropyl Myristate to enhance permeation (Akram et al., 2018).
- Investigation of microemulsion and microemulsion gel formulations for dermal delivery of clotrimazole.: This article evaluates formulations incorporating Isopropyl Myristate for enhanced dermal delivery of clotrimazole, highlighting its role in improving drug solubility and skin absorption rates (Zhang and Michniak-Kohn, 2018).
Biochem/physiol Actions
Isopropyl myristate (myristic acid isopropyl ester) is used to change the physicochemical characteristics of microsheres such as poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microspheres. Isopropyl myristate is used as a oil phase component in the formulation of microemulsion systems.

In this study, microemulsion microstructures, key formulation variables, and their relationship to drug transdermal permeation enhancement were investigated. A microemulsion system with high water soluble capacity was developed, using isopropyl myristate, Labrasol, and Cremophor EL as oil, surfactant, and co-surfactant
