Objective: This study aims to formulate and characterize the transfersomes for percutaneous delivery of peptides and proteins. In particular, this study was a preliminary study for the transfersomes formulation of recombinant human epidermal growth factor (rhEGF) for topical delivery. Methods: The transfersomes was prepared by thin film hydration method using phosphatidylcholine and sodium deoxycholate as vesicle former. In this study, transfersomes formulas were optimized, namely TF1, TF2, TF3, and TF4 with several ratios of phospholipid and surfactant which were 90:10, 85:15, 80:20, and 75:25, respectively. Afterward, the transfersomes were characterized in terms of particle size distribution, polydispersity index, zeta potential, morphology of vesicles, and deformability index. Results: The results showed that the best formulation was TF3 with the ratio of 80:20 with a particle size of 118.6±1.33 nm, polydispersity index of 0.102±0.011, zeta potential of-30.9±0,46 mV, and deformability index of 1.182±0.08. TEM analysis also showed spherical and unilamellar vesicles of transfersomes. Conclusion: This work demonstrated that the sodium deoxycholate-based transfersomes could be potential to be further formulated with peptide and protein for percutaneous delivery.

In this preliminary study, fibroblasts derived from uterine endometrium as a substitute for normal endometrial stroma were used to analyse the stromal role in uterine endometrium, which depends on oestrogen for growth. C-Ha- ras expression and tyrosine kinase (TK) activity in the fibroblasts were increased by oestradiol, and the increase was diminished by progesterone. Epidermal growth factor (EGF), an activator of TK, also increased c-Ha- ras expression. The combination of both oestradiol and EGF at maximum effective concentration exerted no additive and synergistic effect on induction of c-Ha- ras expression. Pretreatment with tyrphostin, an inhibitor of TK, abolished the oestrogen-inducible expression of c-Ha- ras. Oestrogen might lead to rapid induction of c-Ha- ras expression in endometrial stroma, at least in part, via the activation of TK for the early stages of oestrogen dependent growth in endometrium.
