title: Bioadhesive topical application of tryptophan derivatives.
abstract: Innovative formulations with high affinity for biological substrates can be designed by exploiting the TVS tensiometric versus skin approach. Combining a compressed air continous-spray application system with biomimetic agents modulating the epidermal barrier (badsystem), bioadhesive topical application of tryptophan derivatives are well obtained without side effects. The biomimetic effect of tryptophan-badsystem was observed.
