摘要：

In a previous in-vivo skin penetration study, it was observed that certain lipophilic liquid vehicles enhanced drug penetration, whilst others did not. To clarify the mechanism of skin penetration enhancement, isolated sheets of human stratum corneum were measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), either untreated or after pretreatment with various lipophilic liquids (highly purified light mineral oil, isopropyl myristate, caprylic/capric acid triglycerides containing 5% phospholipids, dibutyl adipate, dimethicone 100, cetearyl iso-octanoate, caprylic/capric acid triglycerides), commonly used in ointment bases. All samples were analysed over a heating range of at least - 10-130 degrees C. All DSC curves were evaluated with regard to the phase-transition enthalpies (peak areas) and peak maximum temperatures of the lipid-phase transitions at ca 75 and 85 degrees C. With the exception of dimethicone 100, cetearyl iso-octanoate and caprylic/capric acid triglycerides, all vehicles showed characteristic alterations of the phase-transition temperatures and enthalpies of the stratum corneum lipids. Mineral oil and isopropyl myristate caused a reduction of the enthalpy and a decrease of the phase-transition temperatures. These two vehicles are thought to fluidize the lamellar-gel phase of the stratum corneum lipids, and possibly partially dissolve the lipids. Dibutyl adipate and caprylic/capric acid triglycerides containing 5% phospholipids decreased the phase-transition enthalpy only, probably due to dissolution or extraction of the stratum corneum lipids. These DSC results provide an explanation for the in-vivo penetration-enhancing effects observed previously.
