Figure 5.
Anesthetic effect (tail-flick) test in mice treated with PCT/LDC-PLC, PCT/NLC and EMLA cream, containing 5% LDC-PLC. Results were expressed as maximum possible effect (%MPE) vs time (h). Data are mean ± SEM (n = 6). Statistical analyses were carried out by one-way ANOVA plus Tukey post hoc: a, PCT/LDC-PLC × EMLA cream; b, PCT/NLC × EMLA; c, PCT/LDC–PLC x PCT/NLC (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001). PCT pectin, LDC–PLC 5% lidocaine-prilocaine, NLC nanostructured lipid carrier loading 5% LDC–PLC.
