Application
- Formulation design and development of matrix diffusion controlled transdermal drug delivery of glimepiride.: This study discusses the design of a transdermal drug delivery system for glimepiride, utilizing matrix diffusion mechanisms potentially incorporating Isopropyl Myristate to enhance permeation (Akram et al., 2018).
- Investigation of microemulsion and microemulsion gel formulations for dermal delivery of clotrimazole.: This article evaluates formulations incorporating Isopropyl Myristate for enhanced dermal delivery of clotrimazole, highlighting its role in improving drug solubility and skin absorption rates (Zhang and Michniak-Kohn, 2018).
Biochem/physiol Actions
Isopropyl myristate (myristic acid isopropyl ester) is used to change the physicochemical characteristics of microsheres such as poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microspheres. Isopropyl myristate is used as a oil phase component in the formulation of microemulsion systems.

Modified microemulsions (MEs), termed by us nanodomains (NDs), seem to be suitable vehicles for dermal drug delivery due to their high surface area and the interface enriched with membrane recognizing agents, penetration enhancers, and other components. However, liquid nanodomains do

Transdermal delivery of methotrexate (MTX) was investigated by using the solid-in-oil (S/O) technique. Because MTX was coated with nonionic surfactant molecules, the resulting complex was easy to dissolve in various organic solvents and provided a transparent solution in isopropyl myristate

In principle, maximum transepidermal fluxes of solutes should be similar for different vehicles, except when the solute or vehicle modifies the skin. Here we estimated maximum flux, stratum corneum solubility, diffusivity and permeability coefficient for a range of similarly sized
