V. Gallardo et al., Employment of a cellulosic polymer as carrier of diethylamine salicylate in topical formulations, REACT FUNCT, 43(3), 2000, pp. 351-357
Adsorption-desorption of diethylamine salicylate on latex particles have be
en studied. Time, pH, concentration and electrokinetic characteristics of t
he active principle at which maximum absorption occurred were determined. D
esorption of the drug from latex polymer particles was studied in three dif
ferent vehicles. The findings suggest that solubility of diethylamine salic
ylate is the main factor affecting release of the drug from the excipients
tested. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
