Abstract: The efficiency of penetration enhancers for niclosamide has been studied using double cell skin permeation system. It was found that oleic acid was a good enhancer for niclosamide and was more efficient than azone. Azone showed a synergism with oleic acid or propylene glycol. It was also demonstrated that niclosamide could be used as a long-lasting liniment. The mechanism of the effect of azone and oleic acid has been investigated by IR and DSC techniques.

Key words: niclosamide, transdermal therapeutic system, azone, oleic acid
