The present study aimed to evaluate the impact of ultrafine nanoemulsions on the transdermal delivery of lornoxicam (LOR) for management of the inflammation. The transdermal administration of LORNE could increase the efficacy of LOR with a reduction in side effects. Merging the beneficial properties of ultrafine nanoemulsions and their components (penetration enhancers) can lead to good solubilization, a small droplet size, and more effective LOR carriers. Therefore, this study aims to develop and evaluate the potential use of ultrafine nanoemulsions of LOR (LORNE) to elucidate their skin targeting for the treatment of inflammation. Based on solubility and pseudo ternary phase diagram tests, ultrafine LORNE composed of Labrafil M 2125 CS, Cremophor RH40, and Transcutol HP to deliver LOR was developed and characterized for its physicochemical properties, emulsification, and release. The selected LORNE was incorporated into carbopol gel (LORNE-Gel) and examined for skin permeation, retention, dermatokinetics, anti-inflammatory efficacy, and skin irritation. The selected LORNE12-Gel could improve skin permeation, retention, and dermatokinetic results significantly (p < 0.05) with enhanced C and AUC compared to LOR-Gel. Moreover, LORNE12-Gel showed a remarkable anti-inflammatory effect compared to LOR-Gel after topical application. No signs of skin irritation were observed following treatment, indicating the safety of LORNE12-Gel. Thus, this study demonstrated that LOR-loaded LORNE12-Gel could be promising as an efficient transdermal nanocarrier for an anti-inflammatory alternative.
