FORMULATION AND OPTIMIZATION OF KETOCONAZOLE LOADED ETHOSOMAL GEL FOR TOPICAL APPLICATION: IN VITRO & EX-VIVO CHARACTERIZATION
The present study aimed to develop Ketoconazole -loaded ethosomal gel intended to be applied topically for treating skin infections. Ethosomes were prepared using the cold method. The formulation variables were optimize dusing[3] factorial designand Design Expert® software for analyzing the data statistically and graphically using response surfaceplots. Phospholipid (X1) and ethanol (X2) and propylene glycol (X3) were chosen as the independent variables, while the dependent variables comprised e
