Abstract
Resveratrol is a phenolic compound that has been widely studied in the last years because of its extensive pharmacological properties. It also has physicochemical properties that are adequate for diffusion through the human skin. An analytical method by high performance liquid chromatography was developed and validated for its determination in transdermal emulsion, as well in receptor media and skin layers. The trans-resveratrol release kinetic followed the Higushi’s model (R2 = 0.9926) with steady-state diffusion flux and lag time of 138.5 µg cm–2 h–1 and 0.49 h, respectively. It showed a percentage at 64.96 % for permeation. Thus, the results suggest that the emulsion studied is a potential vehicle for transresveratrol administration by transdermal route.
Keywords: Ex vivo human skin permeation, high performance liquid chromatography, in vitro drug release, resveratrol, transdermal emulsion, validation studies.

Advances of natural products, bio-actives and novel drug delivery system against emerging viral infections
Due to the increasing prevalence of viral infections and the ability of these human pathogens to develop resistance to current treatment strategies, there is a great need to find and develop new compounds to combat them. These molecules must have low toxicity, specific activity and high bioavailability. The most suitable ...read more
Electrospun Fibers as Drug Delivery Systems
In recent years, electrospun fibers have attracted considerable attention as potential platforms for drug delivery due to their distinctive properties and adaptability. These fibers feature a notable surface area-to-volume ratio and can be intentionally designed with high porosity, facilitating an increased capacity for drug loading and rendering them suitable for ...read more
Emerging Nanotherapeutics for Mitigation of Neurodegenerative Disorders
Conditions affecting the central nervous system (CNS) present a significant hurdle due to limited access of both treatments and diagnostic tools for the brain. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) acts as a barrier, restricting the passage of molecules from the bloodstream into the brain. The most formidable challenge facing scientists is ...read more
Nanotechnology Based Chemotherapy for the treatment of Head & Neck Cancer
The escalating recurrence rates observed in Head and Neck cancer, particularly within the chemo-therapeutically treated cohort (50-60%), can be attributed to the non-selective nature of current anticancer drug delivery modalities. In this context, nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems emerge as a promising avenue for achieving precise localization of therapeutic agents to ...read more
