Abstract
In the present study fluconazole (FZ) was successfully incorporated into cationic chitosan nanoparticles prepared by spray-drying method aiming dermal delivery. Particle size and zeta potential measurements, drug content, morphological, thermal and XRD analyses and FZ quantification by HPLC analyses were performed for characterizing the formulations prepared. Release behavior of FZ from the nanoparticles was determined using a Franz-diffusion cell. Thermal and XRD analyses results indicated that FZ was molecularly dispersed in chitosan nanoparticles. Cationic chitosan nanoparticles released FZ for 180 minutes indicative of the extended release of the drug. In vitro characterization results demonstrated that chitosan nanoparticles seem to be promising for enhancement of dermal delivery of FZ and could decrease potential side effects and reduce the potential of drug resistance.
期刊介绍:
Acta Pharmaceutica Sciencia (Acta Pharm. Sci.), formerly known as Bulletin of Pharmacy and Acta Pharmaceutica Turcica is a peer-reviewed scientific journal publishing current research and reviews covering all fields of pharmaceutical sciences since 1953. The original studies accepted for publication must be unpublished work and should contain data that have not been published elsewhere as a whole or a part. The reviews must provide critical evaluation of the state of knowledge related with the subject. All manuscripts has to be written in clear and concise English. Starting from 2016, the journal will be issued quarterly both in paper and on-line formates also publish special issues for national or international scientific meetings and activities in the coverage field.
