General description

Isopropyl myristate is mainly used as a solubilizer, emulsifier and emollient in cosmetic and topical medicines. It is also used as a flavoring agent in the food industry.

Application


  • Development of Nanostructured Lipid Carrier-Loaded Flavonoid-Enriched Zingiber officinale.: This research develops nanostructured lipid carriers for flavonoids derived from Zingiber officinale, employing Isopropyl myristate to stabilize these carriers and improve bioactive compound delivery (Shazwani SS et al., 2024).

  • Comparative evaluation of physical and chemical enhancement techniques for transdermal delivery of linagliptin.: The study compares various enhancement methods for transdermal drug delivery, including the use of Isopropyl myristate, highlighting its effectiveness in permeation enhancement techniques (Karve T et al., 2024).

  • Optimization of Conditions of Zanthoxylum Alkylamides Liposomes by Response Surface Methodology and the Absorption Characteristics of Liposomes in the Caco-2 Cell Monolayer Model.: This research optimizes liposome formulations containing Zanthoxylum alkylamides, with Isopropyl myristate being crucial in liposome stability and absorption characteristics (Wang R et al., 2024).

Transdermal delivery of methotrexate (MTX) was investigated by using the solid-in-oil (S/O) technique. Because MTX was coated with nonionic surfactant molecules, the resulting complex was easy to dissolve in various organic solvents and provided a transparent solution in isopropyl myristate

In principle, maximum transepidermal fluxes of solutes should be similar for different vehicles, except when the solute or vehicle modifies the skin. Here we estimated maximum flux, stratum corneum solubility, diffusivity and permeability coefficient for a range of similarly sized
