ABSTRACT
Psoriasis is a common dermatological disorder which is T lymphocyte
mediated autoimmune inflammatory disorder. Clobetasol propionate
[CP] has anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive, and antiproliferative
activity. The aim of this study was to investigate and evaluate a
nanoemulsion of clobetasol propionate. For the preparation of
nanoemulsion eucalyptus oil was taken. Nanomulsions were prepared
by aqueous phase-titration method. Pseudoternary phase diagrams
were constructed for the identification of nanoemulsion existence
zones. Prepared nanoemulsions were subjected to different
thermodynamic stability tests and characterized for droplet size,
dispersivity index, viscosity and refractive index. In vitro skin
permeation of clobetasol propionate through rat abdominal skin was
determined by the Franz diffusion cell. Finally formulation was tested
for their In vitro irritation study to confirm that our formulation has no
irritation potential. Histopathological study was also done to confirm their irritation potential.
The prepared nanoemulsion is a potential vehicle for improved topical delivery of CP for
better treatment of psoriasis and atopic demetitis.
Keywords: In vitro irritation study, clobetasol propionate, nanoemulsion, transmission electron microscopy, histopathology study.
