(476) Mechanical analysis of pharmaceutical films containing Soluplus for topical delivery of copaiba oil

Introduction: Pharmaceutical films represent a promising advancement in drug delivery systems. They can provide enhanced treatment adherence, ease of use, and controlled release of active agents [1,2]. Copaiba oil (CO), renowned for its anti-inflammatory, healing, antioxidant, and bactericidal properties, is incorporated into these films for the treatment of leishmaniasis, hemorrhages, skin and mucous membrane infections, dermatitis, psoriasis, and wounds [3]. The aim of this study was to prepare and investigate the mechanical properties of films composed of Soluplus (SOL) aiming the topical CO delivery.
