• Sucrose esters
• penetration enhancers
• dermal dosage form
• skin hydration
• in vitro drug diffusion

The aim of this work was to compare the penetration enhancer effect of newly developed sucrose myristate with the generally used sucrose laurate. Hydrogel formulations containing sucrose esters (SEs) were prepared and the model drug was Ibuprofen (IBU), which has oral side effects, so applying it in a transdermal system could be useful. We evaluated the effect of SE hydrogel formulations on the skin by the noninvasive in vivo test and examined their concentration dependent influence on the penetration of IBU through a synthetic membrane (in vitro) by the Franz cell method. The results indicated that sucrose myristate incorporated into hydrogel moistures the skin well and lastingly and showed a better drug penetration enhancing effect at a much lower concentration compared to sucrose laurate. Our results revealed that sucrose myristate could be a promising and effective penetration enhancer in the pharmaceutical field.
