Ex vivo skin permeation parameters of different atorvastatin (ATR) formulations.

Time ATR Sol ATR Gel ATR Emulgel ATR Nanoemulgel
SSTF (µg/cm2·h) 34.39 ± 1.18 51.89 ± 1.71 a 76.11 ± 3.47 a,b 95.39 ± 1.55 a,b,c
Lag time (min) 24.59 ± 5.48 21.08 ± 4.53 6.94 ± 1.77 a,b 3.31 ± 1.33 a,b
ER (folds) 1.00 1.55 a 2.45 a,b 2.92 a,b,c

Values are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD) and were analyzed by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparisons test. a,b,c p < 0.05 compared to ATR sol, ATR gel, and ATR emulgel, respectively. Sol, solution; SSTF, steady state transdermal flux; ER, enhancement ratio.
