Abstract
The purpose of this study was to prepare and optimise an Esculin-loaded transliposome (ECL-TL) for the dermal administration of ECL for skin cancer treatment. The ECL-TL formulation effectively produced closed lamellar vesicles with in-vitro drug release of 81.28 ± 2.82 % and ex-vivo penetration studies showed that had a 2.2-part intensified permeability compared to the conventional preparation. The CLSM data of skin visibly displayed intense permeation of ECL-TL formulated with rhodamine B, equating to the rhodamine B hydroalcoholic solution. The dermatokinetic study suggested that TLs enhance the permeability of the delivery system when topically applied. According to the data, the developed ECL-TL could be an effective drug nano-carrier for the dermal delivery of ECL in treating skin cancer.
