After dermal application, TCR remains in the stratum corneum and passes through the skin layers with difficulty.Purpose: The objectives of this study were to develop and evaluate solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) with thermosensitive properties to improve penetration and retention.Methods: We prepared TCR-loaded thermosensitive solid lipid nanoparticles (TCR-SLNs) with different types of surfactants on the shell of the particle, which conferred the advantages of enhancing skin permeation and distribution. We also characterized them from a physic point of view and performed in vitro and in vivo evaluations.Results: The TCR contained in the prepared TCR-SLN was in an amorphous state and entrapped in the particles with a high loading efficiency. The assessment of ex vivo skin penetration using excised rat dorsal skin showed that the TCR-SLNs penetrated to a deeper layer than the reference product (0.1% Protopic®). In addition, the in vivo skin penetration test demonstrated that TCR-SLNs delivered more drug into deeper skin layers than the reference product. FT-IR images also confirmed drug distribution of TCR-SLNs into deeper layers of the skin.Conclusion: These results revealed the potential application of thermosensitive SLNs for the delivery of difficult-to-permeate, poorly water-soluble drugs into deep skin layers.Keywords: tacrolimus, thermosensitive, solid lipid nanoparticle, FT-IR imaging, atopic dermatitis, dermal deliveryKang JHChon JKim YILee HJOh DWLee HGHan CSKim DWPark CWDove Medical PressarticleTacrolimusThermosensitiveSolid lipid nanoparticleFT-IR imagingAtopic dermatitisDermal deliveryMedicine (General)R5-920ENInternational Journal of Nanomedicine, Vol Volume 14, Pp 5381-5396 (2019)
