Abstract
Rameb (randomized dimethyl-β-cyclodextrin) was mixed with vitamin A propionate (PVA) (molar ratio 10/1 in water) and a water soluble complex was formed and studied by HPLC and NMR (structure, concentration and stability of PVA). Then solution was used to form an aqueous gel. The skin absorption of PVA through stratum corneum, epidermis and dermis of human skin (on modified Franz cells) was assayed by HPLC and was compared to that of a reference gel (or oil) without cyclodextrin. The solution obtained contains a maximum of 10 mg/mL PVA (if saturated with Rameb) and the PVA can remain stable up to 90 days in solution, and up to 1 year if freeze-dried (storage at 4 °C, in the dark). The results of the different experiments of skin distribution were statistically analyzed and show that when complexed with Rameb, the amount of PVA that penetrates each skin layer is significantly higher than pure PVA. The results also show that PVA cannot pass through the dermis and enter the circulation.
