ANTI-NEOPLASTIC TRANSDERMAL PATCH: A NOVEL APPROACH IN BREAST CANCER THERAPY
AbstractBackground: In the present investigation Antineoplastic loaded transdermal patch was formulated using Liposomes, eudragit-RL, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose K-50, and ethyl cellulose. Materials and Methods: Liposomes were formulated by solvent evaporation method using poly (sebacic acid-co-ricinoleic acid) in varying ratios and evaluated for particle size, drug loading, entrapment efficiency, transmission electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction. Formulated tamoxifen-loaded liposomes were finally incorporated into transdermal patch and evaluated for thickness drug content, moisture content, moisture uptake, folding endurance, tensile strength diffusion coefficient, permeability coefficient, in-vitro permeation, and skin irritation. Optimized transdermal patches were tested for its pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics parameters. Results: Formulated transdermal patches showed improved bioavailability of tamoxifen when compared to its oral route. Conclusion: Tamoxifen-loaded liposomal transdermal patches could serve as a better alternative to existing marketed formulation in terms of bioavailability.
