The use of ion pairs to increase the percutaneous delivery of diclofenac
Like many topically applied formulations, diclofenac (DF) preparations face delivery challenges due to the highly effective skin barrier. This research explored a novel amino acid-based ion pairing strategy to enhance percutaneous DF delivery through rational counterion selection and solvent …
