The interaction between the UV filter, 2-ethylhexyl-p-dimethylaminobenzoate, and unmodified and modified alpha-, beta- or gamma-cyclodextrins was studied in water by phase-solubility analysis. Of the cyclodextrins available, only hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin caused a marked increase in the aqueous solubility of 2-ethylhexyl-p-dimethylaminobenzoate. The data

Employing thermal analysis, we investigated the mechanism of action of novel enhancers and probed phospholipid (PL) versus stratum corneum lipid (SCL) liposomes as model membranes. The enhancers included octyl salicylate (OS), padimate O (PADO) and 2-(1-nonyl)-1,3-dioxolane (ND). The negative controls
