Release Studies of Ketoprofen Niosome Formulation


ABSTRACT:

Anti-inflammatory drug ketoprofen was encapsulated in niosome for topical application. Ketoprofen niosome were prepared by thin film hydration method technique using surfactant, cholesterol, dicetyl phosphate & drug mixture in different weight ratios. The prepared niosomes were characterized by various physicochemical parameters & evaluation of release studies of entrapped ketoprofen in niosomes were carried out by UV Visible spectrophotometric method.

Introduction:

 Niosomes are surfactant vesicles which are used to entrap several pharmaceutical drugs to enhance their sustainability . The present research is attempt towards development of topical application of ketoprofen niosomes. so that drug will reach to target site with enhance sustainability & stability. The novelty of research work is to provide effective and maximize drug concentrations and therapeutic value.

Materials and Methods:

Sorbitan Esters-20, 40, 60 & 80 & Cholesterol were purchased from Thomas Baker Co Limited. Dicetyl phosphate was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich USA. Ketoprofen Sample was gifted from Menarni Raunaq Pharmaceuticals Limited. All other Chemicals and solvents were of analytical or pharmacopoieal grade.

Result and Discussion

Span 20 & 80 does not form a thin & dry film at rbf . These Spans are not used further in the research or experimental investigations. Only Span 40 & 60 were used to carry out further investigations.
