PLURONIC LECITHIN ORGANOGELS: AN EFFECTIVE TOPICAL AND TRANSDERMAL DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM
AbstractPluronic lecithin organogels (PLOs) are thermo-dynamically stable, biocompatible, viscoelastic with improve drug permeation and localised action. PLOs have gained much popularity compared with other traditional topical and transdermal drug delivery system owing to their lower cost, flexibility of dose and longer contact time. PLOs enhances the permeability of drugs because of desired drug partitioning, modification of skin barrier system by its components and biphasic drug solubility that is it enhanced solubility of poorly soluble drugs and increased penetrability of hydrophilic drugs. In this review we discuss the insights of PLOs as topical and transdermal drug delivery system.
