Summary
In this study, clobetasol-17-propionate (CP) loaded lecithin/chitosan nanoparticles were studied with special attention to the transport of the active agent across the skin in vitro. Nanoparticles were characterized by measuring particle size, zeta potential, polydispersity index and encapsulation efficiency. The morphology of nanoparticles was evaluated by transmission electron microscopy.
