The objective of work was to formulate, evaluate and compare the transdermal potential of novel vesicular nanocarriers: ethosomes and ultradeformable liposomes, containing clotrimazole (CLT), an anti-fungal bioactive. The ethosomal formulation (ET4) and ultradeformable liposomal (UL) formulation (TT3) showed highest entrapment 68.73 +/- 1.4% and 55.51+/- 1.7%, optimal nanometric size range 132 +/- 9.5 nm and 121+/- 9.7 nm, and smallest polydispersity index 0.027 +/- 0.011 and 0.067 +/- 0.009, respectively. The formulation ET4 provided enhanced transdermal flux 56.25 +/- 5.49 mu g/cm(2)/h and decreased the lag time of 0.9 h in comparison to TT3 formulation (50.16 +/- 3.84 mu g/cm(2)/h; 1.0 h). Skin interaction and FT-IR studies revealed greater penetration enhancing effect of ET4 than TT3 formulation. ET4 formulation also had the highest zone of inhibition (34.6 +/- 0.57 mm), in contrast to TT3 formulation (29.6 +/- 0.57 mm) and marketed cream formulation (19.0 +/- 1.00 mm) against candidal species. Results suggested ethosomes to be the most proficient carrier system for dermal and transdermal delivery of clotrimazole. (C) 2011 King Saud University. Production and hosting by Elsevier B. V.
