The study elucidated the combined effect of the formulation parameters (the relative contents of the copolymer (poloxamer 407 (P407)), the cosolvent (isopropyl alcohol), and the hydrophobic drug (ibuprofen)) on gelation, applicative properties, drug solubilization capacity and release kinetics of the P407 aqueous solutions under the common conditions of storage and topical administration. The presence of ibuprofen at a therapeutic concentration of 5% enhanced the increase in micellar volume fraction and allowed the gelation of the liquid solutions at P407 concentrations >= 15%. Light microscopy, DSC analysis, and theological measurements pointed that P407 gels with 15-20% of the copolymer enabled controled precipitation of amorphous ibuprofen particles (
