    After the nanoemulsion is in contact with the stratum corneum, the surfactant components penetrate into the stratum corneum cell membrane, enhancing the fluidity of the cell membrane and increasing the permeability. At the same time, the hydrophilic area of the nanoemulsion enables strong hydration of the stratum corneum and further enhances the permeability. The transdermal penetration rate of hydrocortisone nanoemulsion is 338 times higher than that of hydrocortisone saturated solution.<\/p>\n

      The poorly soluble drugs are dissolved in the oil phase to prepare O\/W nanoemulsion, and the drug loading is greatly increased. The lipophilic drug estradiol O\/W nanoemulsion is compared with the pH 7.4 phosphate buffered saline (PBS) saturated solution of estradiol, the nanoemulsion can solubilize the drug by 1,400 to 4,500 times, but the increase in viscosity reduces the penetration of the drug Coefficient, the total skin penetration rate is significantly increased, which is 200-700 times that of saturated solution, and the time lag is significantly shortened from 10-20h to 1h. Using isostearate as the oil phase, polyoxyethylene 8-caprylic acid glyceride as the surfactant, and polyglycerol-6-isostearate as the co-surfactant to prepare lipophilic drugs, lidocaine and hydrophilic drugs The permeation rate of prilocaine hydrochloride nanoemulsion in vitro shows that the permeation rate of saturated lidocaine nanoemulsion is 4 times higher than that of ordinary O\/W nanoemulsion, and the permeation rate of saturated prilocaine hydrochloride nanoemulsion is higher than that of the corresponding hydrogel. But the nanoemulsion skin permeability coefficient is lower than the corresponding emulsion and hydrogel, indicating that nanoemulsion increases the drug skin permeability rate mainly to increase the nanoemulsion drug loading and increase the skin surface concentration gradient of the drug.<\/p>\n

        Ionic and water-soluble macromolecular drugs are difficult to pass through the lipid-rich stratum corneum, and the penetration rate of the epidermis is very low. Skin adnexities such as hair follicles, sebaceous glands and sweat glands are the main channels for such drugs to be absorbed through the skin. The particle size of the nanoemulsion is similar to that of the hair follicle. The W\/\u041e type nanoemulsion is prepared by using oil compatible with hair follicle sebum as the continuous phase, which can promote the penetration of hydrophilic drugs into the skin. Using olive oil as the oil phase and Span 80\/Polysorbate 80 as surfactants, the macromolecular hydrophilic drug inulin (molecular weight is about 5000) is made into W\/O nanoemulsion. The permeation rate of inulin mouse skin is inversely proportional to the hydrophilic lipophilic balance (HLB) of the surfactant, that is, the lower the surfactant HLB, the stronger the lipophilicity, the better the compatibility of nanoemulsion and sebum, the better the drug permeability The higher the overrate. The skins of isolated mice, nude mice and rats were used for the nanoemulsion transdermal test. There was no significant difference in the measurement results, that is, the thickness of the stratum corneum and the type of hair follicles had no significant effect on the transdermal penetration of inulin. Therefore, the destructive effect of the surfactant in the nanoemulsion on the skin stratum corneum structure has little effect on the penetration rate of inulin, while the nanoemulsion structure and sebum compatibility are the decisive factors for the penetration of macromolecular inulin through the skin.<\/p>\n
