The aim of this study was to compare the activities of the two main classes of topical anti-inflammatory drugs in methyl-nicotinate-induced skin inflammation, using a new methodology based on laser-Doppler velocimetry. Six topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (bufexamac,
A method has been developed which simultaneously compares the inhibition of an inflammation induced by a methyl nicotinate assay with the concentration of drug in the human epidermis determined in vitro following topical application of two 10% ibuprofen formulations. The bioavailability of drug from
OBJECTIVE
In this study, we investigated the bioavailability of iontophoretically delivered diclofenac with the methylnicotinate (MN) test. The inhibition of an erythema provoked by MN is proportional to the bioavailability of diclofenac in the skin. It was our aim to use this procedure in the
Continuous laser Doppler measurements of methyl nicotinate-induced skin inflammation have been used to evaluate the activities of three oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, indomethacin 50 mg (Indocid), tiaprofenic acid 100 mg (Surgam) and sodium acetylsalicylate 1 g (Catalgine). They were
BACKGROUND
Skin occlusion due to use of diapers or sanitary napkins often results in irritant contact dermatitis. Furthermore, prolonged occlusion and exposure to body fluids are known to increase skin hydration and permeability, thus leading to irritant contact dermatitis.
OBJECTIVE
The effects of
Extracts of Tanacetum parthenium (L.) Sch. Bip., a plant known under the common name "Feverfew", contains the sesquiterpene lactone parthenolide, a potent skin sensitizer. To eliminate the risk of skin sensitization from Feverfew, we developed a parthenolide-depleted extract of Feverfew
