Abstract

The daily exposure of the skin to ultraviolet (UV) radiation can cause direct damage to DNA and cause the proliferation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which leads to an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidant enzymes in the epidermis, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx). This imbalance leads to a state of oxidative stress, which can unleash a number of skin disorders, among them skin cancer. Research has shown that trans-resveratrol (RES), due to their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and chemopreventive properties, is a potential active substance in therapy against changes resulting from oxidative stress. However, some of their physicochemical properties, such as limited aqueous solubility, make their effectiveness on therapeutic cutaneous more difficult since it has low penetration into the skin. Thus, the use of nanostructured delivery systems for cutaneous administration of the RES, such as liquid-crystalline systems (LCS) would be extremely viable 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. The objectives of this work are to develop LCS to incorporate the RES and to characterize them by means of polarized light microscopy, small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), rheology, thermal analysis, texture profile and in vitro bioadhesion. Release, retention and permeation tests will be performed in vitro using skin of an animal model. Subsequently, in vitro cytotoxicty will be performed and the in vivo anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effectiveness will be verified by model of stress oxidative cutaneous induced by UVB radiation. From the results obtained in this project, it is expected to obtain innovative systems that can be an alternative to treat skin disorders resulting from oxidative stress, contributing to technological and scientific improvement of the country through the development of new nanostructured drug delivery systems that may be accessible to the population.
