Abstract

The daily exposure of the skin to ultraviolet radiation can cause direct damage to DNA and cause the proliferation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to a state defined as oxidative stress, which can unleash a number of skin disorders, among them skin cancer. Recent studies has shown that trans-resveratrol (RES), due to their antioxidant properties, anti-inflammatory and chemopreventive, is an potential active substance in therapy against changes resulting from oxidative stress. However, the RES has poor in vivo bioavailability due to rapid metabolism when orally administered. Thus, its cutaneous administration would be suitable to find it on their site of action. However, some of their physicochemical properties, such as limited aqueous solubility and high ability to interact with ROs, make their effectiveness on topical therapeutic more difficult since it has low penetration into the skin. The nanostructured lipid systems such as solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) and nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) have been successfully employed in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic area because they have the ability to compartmentalize, efficiently, several groups of active principles and modify their properties and behavior in biological environment. In this sense, SLN and NLC have been proven advantageous in cutaneous administration of various substances mainly due to its characteristics of interaction with the stratum corneum and other skin layers and capacity of drug arrangement with protective effect and sustainer of release. In this project we intend to develop and characterize, in the physical-chemical aspect, SLN and NLC for incorporating RES. Thus, it is expected to develop a delivery system for RES in nanostructural level that optimizes its use in the treatment of disorders caused by oxidative stress, especially in the treatment of melanoma.
