ABSTRACT
In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the prevalence of thyroid diseases, particularly hypothyroidism. In this study, we investigated the impact and mechanisms of Chemical permeation enhancement(CPE) on transdermal permeation of levothyroxine sodium (L-T4) patches.We found that the combination of oleic acid (OA) and Azone (NZ) yielded the best transdermal permeation effect for L-T4.Subsequently, we also investigated the relevant propermeability mechanism.The results demonstrate that the combined application of OA and NZ significantly enhances the transdermal permeation of L-T4 compared to individual applications,it is attributed to two mechanisms firstly, OA improves drug release by increasing the flowability of the pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) matrix; secondly, both OA and NZ act on the stratum corneum, especially facilitating L-T4 permeation through the hair follicle pathway. No skin irritation or cytotoxicity is observed with these final patches, which exhibit a remarkable therapeutic effect on hypothyroidism. this study contributes to the development of transdermal formulations of L-T4.
