| Abstract | CONTEXT: Skin delivery of Meloxicam (MX) offers several advantages over the oral route which is associated with potential side effects. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to develop transdermal MX in niosomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Vesicles prepared by thin film hydration method were characterized and the acute anti-inflammatory activity of 0.5% MX niosomal hydrogel was evaluated using carrageenan induced rat paw edema method. RESULTS: The results revealed that niosomes prepared from span 60 and cholesterol at 6:4 molar ratio using 20 mg of MX were of the highest entrapment efficiency (> 55%) and with particle size (187.3 nm). There was a marked increase in the percentage inhibition of edema in animals treated with MX vesicular gel compared to those treated with free MX and piroxicam gels. DISCUSSION: There was an inverse proportionality between vesicle size and cholesterol content. With increased cholesterol molar ratio the bilayer stability increased and permeability decreased leading to efficiently trapping the MX. In contrast, higher amounts of cholesterol may compete with the drug for packing space within the bilayer. The inhibitory effect of MX niosomal gel may be attributed to its superior skin permeation. CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that niosomes may be promising vehicles for transdermal delivery of MX. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
