Creation of thixotropic multicomponent alkylamide organogels containing non-volatile oil as potential drug release host materials

Abstract

Multicomponent alkylamide organogels containing non-volatile oils were generated as potential thixotropic host materials for medicinal applications such as ointments. In the presence of these non-volatile oils, a three-component alkyl amide system exhibited mixed induced thixotropy. This thixotropic organogel showed drug release abilities following diffusion kinetics and may be suitable drug release host materials.
