Objective:
To prepare positive-ionized liposome gel containing paeonol and study its stability and cutaneous permeation kinetics in vitro.
Methods:
Prepared the liposome gel by dispersion-ultrasonic and gridding method, and studied the stability with the impact factor experiments. Compared the permeation rate of liposome gel with conventional gel in vitro using the Franz-diffusion cell.
Results:
Mean diameter of the liposome was (132.7 +/- 14.1) nm with Zeta potential of (+33.54 +/- 1.95) mV and mean entrapment efficiency of (73.04 +/- 1.24)% (n=3), and the content of paeonol was (3.17 +/- 0.13) mg/g (n=3). The liposome gel had a promising appearance. It was stable at the humidity and the room temperature while was sensitive at the light and the temperature from 40 degrees C to 60 degrees C. The cumulative penetration amounts of the liposome gel was higher than that of the conventional gel (P < 0.05). Its cutaneous penetration rate and cumulative amounts in skin were higher than those of the conventional gel (P < 0.05).
Conclusion:
The positive-ionized liposome gel containing paeonol is stable and feasibly prepared. It can enhance the cutaneous permeation efficiency and guarantee the persistent release rate.

Pore transport, also known as convective transport, is a process where small molecules like urea, water, and sugars rapidly cross cell membranes as though there were channels or pores in the membrane. Although direct microscopic evidence is limited but the concept of pores or channels is widely accepted based on physiological evidence. Despite the lack of direct microscopic...
