Abstract

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of different permeation enhancers in the transdermal permeation of flavonoids. A weed plant named Chromolaena odorata have been employed as the flavonoid source. Six different cream formulations have been prepared with the Chromolaena extract using different permeation enhancers such as ethanol, dimethyl sulphoxide, surfactants and occlusive agents. The amount of flavonoids penetrated during a time period of four hours was noted. The highest amount of penetration was obtained with the formulation no 6 which contained a combination of different permeation enhancers. The result suggests that a synergistic combination of different permeation enhancers can be adopted for enhancement of permeation of flavonoids in topical drug delivery systems.
