An indomethacin topical spray was prepared using lecithin and a cholesterol derivative as a phospholipid complex in a film. Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) was used as a film-forming agent. Cytotoxicity to the keratinocytes and fibroblast cells was performed. Drug penetration through keratinocytes was evaluated. The results reveal that the PVP concentration provided fine droplets under a microscope with a low contact angle (12.07°-22.53°). Incorporating PVP in the formulation reduced the hydrodynamic radius or size by 20 times. The SEM and TEM results showed smoother surfaces of the thin film for larger quantities of the PVP film-forming agent in the formulations. It also gave the highest drug penetration when the PVP was 0.5%. However, the film-forming agent can also act as a control release barrier. The percent viabilities of the human keratinocytes and fibroblasts were higher in the indomethacin spray phospholipid complex thin film formulation than the pure drug. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
