Isotropic formulations
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.
Isotropic formulations are thermodynamically stable microemulsions possessing lyotropic liquid crystal properties.[1] They inhabit a state of matter and physical behaviour somewhere between conventional liquids and that of solid crystals.[2] Isotropic formulations are amphiphillic, exhibiting selective synchronicity with both the water and lipid phases of the substrate to which they are applied.[3] Most recently, isotropic formulations have been used extensively in dermatology for drug delivery.[4]
Uses
While it is well established that the skin provides an ideal site for the administration of local and systemic drugs, it presents a formidable barrier to the permeation of most substances.[5] Isotropic formulations have been used to deliver drugs locally and systemically via the skin appendages, intercellular and transcellular routes.[6]
