Abstract

The influence of glycyrrhizin extracted from Glycyrrhiza glabra var. glandulifera (licorice roots) on the percutaneous absorption

of diclofenac sodium from sodium carboxymethylcellulose (NaCMC) gels or oil-in-water (o/w) emulsion was investigated. Skin

permeation experiments were carried out using excised abdominal rat skin. The results showed that the efficiency of glycyrrhizin as

an enhancer agent is greater in gel formulations than it is in the emulsions. The enhancer with the concentration of 0.1% w/w in gel

increased diclofenac sodium flux value to tenfold compared with the control gel.
