This review considers the physicochemical and permeation properties of caffeine with reference to its delivery to and through the skin. Since it has been used as a model compound the findings have implications for the delivery of many hydrophilic compounds having similar properties. Various passive and active formulation strategies to promote enhanced skin permeation of caffeine are considered. Models to study percutaneous caffeine penetration are also discussed in detail. date: 2015-05-21 date_type: published official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ijpharm.2015.05.050 vfaculties: VFLS oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green article_type: review article_type_text: Journal Article verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1036040 doi: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2015.05.050 pii: S0378-5173(15)00469-X language_elements: eng lyricists_name: Lane, Majella lyricists_name: Luo, Lin lyricists_id: MLANE69 lyricists_id: LLUOX97 actors_name: Lane, Majella actors_id: MLANE69 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: International Journal of Pharmaceutics volume: 490 number: 1-2 pagerange: 155-164 event_location: Netherlands issn: 1873-3476 citation: Luo, L; Lane, ME; (2015) Topical and transdermal delivery of caffeine.
