Bupranolol (BPL) is a suitable drug candidate for transdermal drug delivery system development based on its favorable physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties. The effect of different penetration enhancers on the permeation of BPL across rat skin was studied using side-by-side diffusion cells. 2-pyrrolidone (PY), 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (MPY), and propylene glycol (PG) at various concentrations were used as penetration enhancers along with 0.4% w/v aqueous suspension of BPL. Menthol at different concentrations in isopropanol-water (6:4) mixture also was used as an enhancer wherein BPL at 0.4% w/v was completely solubilized. Skin pretreatment studies were carried out with all the above enhancers to understand their role in the penetration enhancement effect. PY and MPY at 5% w/v concentrations increased the permeation of BPL by 3.8- and 2.4-fold, respectively, versus control (P
