Finally, in vivo anti-inflammatory efficacy and skin tolerance were also assessed. / Results: HGs were transparent and kept stable after 3 months exhibiting biocompatible near neutral pH values. Rheological patterns fitted to Herschel-Bulkley for KT-C940-HG and Newton for KT-P407-HG due to its low viscosity at 25°C. Rapid release profiles were observed through first order kinetics. Following the surface the highest concentration of KT from C940-HG was found in the epidermis and the stratum corneum for P407-HG. Relevant anti-inflammatory efficacy of KT-P407-HG revealed enough ability to provide sufficient bioavailability KT to reach easily the site of action. The application of developed formulations in volunteers did not induce any visual skin irritation. / Conclusions: KT-P407-HG was proposed as suitable formulation for anti-inflammatory local treatment without theoretical systemic side effect. date: 2017-08 date_type: published publisher: SPRINGER/PLENUM PUBLISHERS official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11095-017-2181-8 oa_status: green full_text_type: other primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1296721 doi: 10.1007/s11095-017-2181-8 lyricists_name: Lane, Majella lyricists_id: MLANE69 actors_name: Allington-Smith, Dominic actors_id: DAALL44 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Pharmaceutical Research volume: 34 number: 8 pagerange: 1728-1740 pages: 13 issn: 1573-904X citation: Mallandrich, M; Fernández-Campos, F; Clares, B; Halbaut, L; Alonso, C; Coderch, L; Garduño-Ramirez, ML; ...
