    The goal of this study is to design liposome carrier system of forskolin for the treatment of muscle relaxant that is capable of delivering the encapsulated drug over a prolonged period of time by overcoming the limitations of conventional dosage forms. Foskolin is partially water-soluble drug but has low permeability. The main objective is to improve the permeability thereby improving the bioavailability. It is prepared by thin film hydration method, using materials like non-ionic surfactants (cholesterol, soylecithin) and solvents such as chloroform and ethanol. The Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) results revealed that there is no interaction between forskolin and excipients; all the formulations showed better encapsulation efficacy. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis revealed the surface morphology of forskolin-loaded liposome while dissolution studies showe.. Read More»
