Abstract: | In vitro skin permeation of Timolol maleate through human cadaver skin was studied using Franz diffusion cell. The results indicate that the drug penetrates poorly through human cadaver skin. However, skin penetration enhancers such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), oleic acid (OA) and lauryl chloride (LC) enhanced the permeability of Timolol maleate (TM) through human cadaver skin. The permeation enhancement of drug was maximum by lauryl chloride amongst the three enhancers. Moreover, lauryl chloride increases the permeation of drug through skin with increase in the time of application and concentration on skin. The change in lag time was also observed. |
