Strategies for meloxicam delivery to and across the skin: a review

Abstract: Although meloxicam (MX) is relatively safer than other NSAIDs, adverse effects relating to the gastro-intestinal tract are still a problem when administrated MX at high doses and on the longterm treatment. Drug delivery via skin provides an attractive alternative to oral administration, but is limited by the first layer of the skin-stratum corneum. Studies have been focused on developing effective methods to break the barrier of stratum corneum for enhancing delivery of MX to and across the skin. Strategies in… Show more

“…MLX (4-hydroxy-2-methyl-N-(5-methylthiazol-2-yl)-2H-1,2-benzothiazine-3-carboxamide 1,1-dioxide) is an effective non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) which is used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. In the last decade, several studies have been published regarding preparation and testing TTSs containing MLX with encouraging results in skin permeability [10][11][12][13].…”

“…Recently, in situ film-forming systems (on the skin, after spreading in a thin layer) -FFSs which form a film on the skin after spreading in a thin layer, have been developed as a new approach to be used as an alternative to both conventional and transdermal topical formulations [12]. In this paper, four pharmaceutical substances were selected as potential active ingredients ( Figure 1) that could be useful in the form of film-forming systems with dermal and/or transdermal delivery: adapalene (ADA) [23,84], levofloxacin (LEV) [36,69], meloxicam (MEL) [16], and miconazole nitrate (MIC) [10]. These therapeutic agents have some significant physicochemical properties (Table I) based on which they can be individually used to treat various skin diseases: skin candidiasis, acne vulgaris, other skin infections, etc.…”

“…It is already known that a low MP will result in better absorption of the compounds [17]. Also, the diffusivity in stratum corneum is correlated with the molecular weight (MW); thus, the compound should not have high molecular weight and size [16,62].…”

“…[3][4][5][6] Unfortunately, MX has an extremely low aqueous solubility at physiological pH, which reduces its bioavailability and hinders its clinical application. [7][8][9] Several attempts have been made to improve the bioavailability and therapeutic effect of MX. Nanonization strategies have been shown to be very promising approaches to improve the dissolution.…”
