Abstract

Triprolidine-containing matrix was fabricated with poly(4-methyl-1-pentene) (TPX) polymer to control the release of the drug. Effect of penetration enhancer and stripping of skin on the permeation of triprolidine through the excised mouse skin was studied. Penetrating enhancers showed the increased flux probably due to the enhancing effect on the skin barrier, the stratum corneum. Among enhancers used such as glycols, fatty acids and non-ionic surfactants, polyoxyethylene-2-oleyl ether showed the best enhancement. The permeability of triprolidine was markedly increased with stripping the mouse skin to remove the stratum corneum, which acts as a barrier of skin permeation. For the controlling delivery of triprolidine, the TPX matrix containing permeation enhancer could be developed.
