Popis: A thermo-responsive membrane was incorporated into a transdermal therapeutic system (TTS) which responds to thermal stimuli associated with skin temperature changes. The thermo-responsive membrane was prepared by pouring monooxyethylene trimethylolpropane tristearate (MTTS) between two porous polypropylene films. The TTS with this thermoresponsive membrane as a rate controlling membrane released non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (indomethacin, ketoprofen) and antipyretic drugs (acetoaminophen, ethenzamide) in response to temperature changes between 32 and 38°C in the in vitro experiments. It was then shown that the temperature-activated TTS was operative in vivo in a rabbit model .
