Abstract

The effects of hydroxypropyl- b-cyclodextrin (HP- b-CD) and sulfobutylether- b-CD (SBE7- b-CD) on in vitro human skin penetration and retention of the sunscreen agent butyl-methoxydibenzoylmethane (BM-DBM) were investigated. The interaction between the UV filter and the cyclodextrins was studied in water by phase-solubility analysis. Solid complexes were prepared by the co-evaporation method and characterized by NMR spectroscopy, thermal analysis and powder X-ray diffraction. Solutions containing BM-DBM free or complexed with cyclodextrins were applied to excised human skin in Franz diffusion cells and the amount of sunscreen permeated after 6 h into the stratum corneum, viable epidermis, dermis and receptor fluid was assessed by HPLC. As much as 14.10–16.78% of the applied dose of BM-DBM penetrated within the skin tissue. No sunscreen was detected in the dermis and in the receiver phase. The greater proportion (84.6–95.5%) of the absorbed UV filter was localized in the stratum corneum with no significant differences between uncomplexed or complexed BM-DBM. Notable levels (2.29% of the applied dose) of the sunscreen agent accumulated in the epidermis from the preparation containing free BM-DBM. The epidermal concentration of the UV filter was markedly reduced (0.66% of the applied dose) by complexation with SBE7- b-CD, whereas HP- b-CD had no effect. The decreased BM-DBM retention in the epidermal region achieved by SBE7- b-CD limits direct contact of the sunscreen and of its reactive photolytic products with the skin viable tissues.
