FORMULATION AND EVALUATION OF NANOSTRUCTURED LIPID CARRIER FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF PSORIASIS
The objective of the research work was to design NLCs gel of Acitretin and perform an in-vitro evaluation of different formulations. FTIR and DSC studies revealed that there was no interaction between drug and polymer and with the respective surfactant. A new generation of NLCs consisting of a lipid matrix with a special nanostructure has been developed. These nanostructures improve drug loading a...

MICROENCAPSULATION: A STRATEGY TO SURPASS PHOTO INSTABILITY AND LOW PENETRABILITY OF SKIN LIGHTENING AGENTS
Objective: Kojic acid and arbutin are potent agents for effective treatment of hyperpigmentation. However, low photostability, low permeability and high irritancy exhibited by them make topical delivery a challenge. The aim of this study was to develop novel photostable and highly penetrable formulation of kojic acid and arbutin to combat hyper-pigmentation effectively at lower concentrations in c...
