Abstract
Miconazole nitrate (MIC) is an antifungal drug used for treatment of superficial fungal infections. However, it has low skin permeability. Hence, the objective of this study was to prepare miconazole nitrate using Transfersomes to overcome the barrier function of the skin. MIC Transfersomes were prepared using a thin lipid film hydration technique. The prepared Transfersomes were evaluated with respect to entrapment efficiency (EE%), particle size, and quantity of in vitro drug released to obtain an optimized formulation. The optimized formulation of MIC Transfersomes was incorporated into a Carbapol 934 gel base which was evaluated in comparison with a marketed product (Daktarin® cream 2%) for drug content, pH, spreadability, viscosity, in vitro permeation, and in vitro and in vivo antifungal activity. The prepared MIC Transfersomes had a high EE% ranging from (67.98 ± 0.66%) to (91.47 ± 1.85%), with small particle sizes ranging from (63.5 ± 0.604 nm) to (84.5 ± 0.684 nm). The in vitro release study suggested that there was an inverse relationship between EE% and in vitro release. The kinetic analysis of all release profiles was found to follow Higuchi's diffusion model. All independent variables had a significant effect on th...Continue Reading
