cosmetics
Glossy cosmetically
acceptable film
Topical drug carriers
Increases drug residence

complaince
UV curable gels
9. ……….
×Drug used amorolfine HCl and terbinafine HCl
×Base resin..dimethyl acrylate
×Solvent inclusion for effective drug loading
×Ethanol and NMP(n methyl 2 pyrollidine)
10. Proportion ofexcipients
Concentration of photoinitiators and base resins
were used as similar as cosmetic gels
Formulation with ethanol in 25 to 50%
Increased water sensitivity and decreased drug
residence
Inclusion of ethanol at 25% produced 3%AF and
4% TF and NMP Produced 1% of each
11. Preaparation of formulations
×Three types of formulation
Drug free
solvent
containing
formulations
Drug free
solvent free
formulation
Drug
and
solvent
12. UV curing of formulations
×Formulation was applied to a microscope
glass slide using pipette tip
×Placed under a UV nail lamp
×Curing of formulation and formation of film
×Surface wiped with propanol
×Glossy film
×Mass conversion percentage
Wt/W0*100

21. DMA Results
. ×Two transitions represent
two polymer chains
×Reaction of monomers
×In NMP more residual
solvent has produced
plasticizing effect on UV
cured film
×Low Tg value
22. Film adhesion to substrate
.. ×High scores shows low
adhesion
×Ethanol dont make much
change
×NMP reduces adhesivity
×More NMP on curing
23. Water sensitivity values
. ×NMP formulations are
extremely water sensitive
×Incorporation of NMP in the
polymer
×Low water sensitivity of
ethanol
×Low water sensitivity ensures
longer residence on nail
25. Drug release
×Curanail is commercially
available nail lacquer
×Curanail produced
complete drug release by
day 10
×Uv curable produced slow
release which indicates
greater affinity to films.
26. CONCLUSIONS
×Promising topical drug carriers
×Ethanol containing formulations have high stability and
water resistance
×Improves topical therapy of nail diseases
