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).

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

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 this study, microemulsion microstructures, key formulation variables, and their relationship to drug transdermal permeation enhancement were investigated. A microemulsion system with high water soluble capacity was developed, using isopropyl myristate, Labrasol, and Cremophor EL as oil, surfactant, and co-surfactant

Acinetobacter baumannii is among the most dangerous pathogens and emergence of resistance is highly problematic. Our objective was to identify and rationally optimize β-lactam-plus-aminoglycoside combinations via novel mechanism-based modeling that synergistically kill and prevent resistance of carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii.
