Abstract
The aim of this study was to formulate and evaluate bisoprolol hemifumarate emulgel using carbopol 934P with the enhancers, thymus oil and olive oil. Thymus oil and olive oil were used as permeation enhancers. The emulsion formulations were added to a base gel. The emulgel was characterized for physical characteristics, stability, skin irritation, and drug release. Formulations F1 and F5 indicated the best in-vitro drug release when compared with other preparations. Bisoprolol hemifumarate emulgel containing carbopol 934P and thymus oil or olive oil enhancers could be further developed for a topical drug delivery system.
期刊介绍:
Dissolution Technologies is a peer reviewed quarterly
publication reporting ongoing, useful information on
dissolution testing of pharmaceuticals. It provides an
international forum for dissolution analysts to receive
and exchange information on various dissolution topics.
Dissolution Technologies welcomes submissions related
to dissolution, in vitro release, and disintegration testing.
These topics should be the major focus of the article.
Do not submit articles where the focus is formulation
development with dissolution testing as one of many
tests.
