Development of zolmitriptan transfersomes by Box–Behnken design for nasal delivery: in vitro and in vivo evaluation

The aim was to prepare an optimized zolmitriptan (ZT)-loaded transfersome formulation using Box–Behnken design for improving the bioavailability by nasal route for quick relief of migraine and further to compare with a marketed nasal spray. Here, three factors were evaluated at three levels. Independent variables include: amount of soya lecithin (X1), amount of drug (X2) and amount of tween 80 (X3). The dependent responses were vesicle size...
