[Skin permeation of liposomal incorporated hydrocortisone].
With the liposomal incorporated hydrocortisone a very much improved concentration-time profile was obtained in the different layers of human skin after topical application when compared with conventional hydrocortisone in the ointment. The increased hydrocortisone penetration into human skin correspond with the degree of blanching results by vasoconstriction test. Under in vivo conditions the influence of liposomal hydrocortisone on percutaneous resorption was investigated. In guinea pigs a decreased serum concentration and urinary excretion of hydrocortisone could be demonstrated. Thus, hydrocortisone-loaded liposomes, when applied topically, act as a selective drug delivery system, it can be provide increased therapeutic efficacy and, simultaneously, decreased unwanted systemic effects. The significance of liposomal incorporated attenuative and higher potent glucocorticoids in external therapy is discussed.
