ABSTRACT: Matrix type TDDS of haloperidol were prepared using different ratios of Poly vinyl alcohol (PVA): Poly vinylpyrrolidone (PVP) (3:1, 2:3, 4:1, 1:2, 2:1, and 1:4) by solvent evaporation technique. Physicochemical parameters were characterized and dissolution studies of the formulated films were performed. In addition solubility studies at various pH, partition coefficient in octanol/water system, flux and enhancement ratio were also evaluated. In vitro permeation studies were done using modified Franz diffusion cells through human cadaver skin utilizing 20%PEG 400 in normal saline. Permeation studies illustrated, 4% hyaluronidase enzyme was a good enhancer. The prepared films were subjected to SEM and FTIR spectral analysis. Higuchi and Peppas model were used for optimizing the formulation.
