Abstract:The purpose of the present study was to develop an optimized transdermal drug delivery system of curcumin by adopting statistical optimization techniques. The response surface methodology was employed to find the combined effect of independent variables such as concentration of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose HPMC and polyvinylpyrrolidone PVP which significantly influence characteristics such as cumulative drug release up to 24 hours moisture content and folding endurance.
