| Abstract | The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of oil, surfactant/co-surfactant mixing ratios and water on the in vitro permeation of ketoconazole (KTZ) applied in O/W microemulsion vehicle through intact rat skin. Lauryl Alcohol (LA) was screened as the oil phase of microemulsions, due to a good solubilizing capacity of the microemulsion system. The pseudo-ternary phase diagrams for microemulsion regions were constructed using LA as the oil, Labrasol (Lab) as the surfactant (S) and ethanol (EtOH) as the cosurfactant (CoS). The formulation which showed a highest permeation rate of 54.65 ± 1.72 µg/cm(2)/h(1) and appropriate physico-chemical properties was optimized as containing 2% KTZ, 10% LA, 20% Lab/EtOH (1:1) and 68% double distilled water (w/w). The efficiency of microemulsion formulation in the topical delivery of KTZ was dependent upon the contents of water and LA as well as Lab/EtOH mixing ratio. It was concluded that the percutaneous absorption of KTZ from microemulsions was enhanced with increasing the LA and water contents, and with decreasing the Lab/EtOH ratio in the formulation. Candida albicans was used as a model fungus to evaluate the antifungal activity of the best formula achieved, which showed the widest zone of inhibition as compared to KTZ reference. The studied microemulsion formulation showed a good stability for a period of three months. Histopathological investigation of rat skin revealed the safety of microemulsion formulations for topical use. These results indicate that the studied microemulsion formulation might be a promising vehicle for topical delivery of KTZ. |

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.
