ABSTRACT
p-Sinefrin has lipolytic activity, however it has a low oral bioavailability, and also hydrophylic characteristic which
is difficult to penetrate the epidermis if it is made into transdermal peparation. The purposes of this research were
to increase the penetration of p-sinefrin by preparing into transfersome gel. In this research three transfersome
formulas were prepared, e.g. F1, F2 and F3 with the use of surfactants respectively: tween 80, span 80, and
combination of tween 80 and span 80 with ratio 1:1. The result showed that F1 is the best formula with the highest
entrapment efficiency 64.058 0.754%, particle size average 103.3 nm, polydispersity index 0.269 0.05 and zeta
potential = -36.2 0.64 mV, so the best formula was incorporated into gel formulation. There were two gel
formulas prepared in this research, gel transfersome (GT) and non transfersome gel (GNT). Both of gels were
evaluated for their physical stability, and also in vitro penetration test using Franz diffusion cells using rat male
Sprague Dawley skin. The result showed the physical stabilty test of GT was more stable than GNT. Cumulative
penetration of p-sinefrin GT was higher than GNT, which value for GT was 1955.4 9.36 g.cm-2 and GNT was
892.87 31.79 g.cm-2. It can be concluded that GT can increase penetration of p-sinefrin compared to GNT.

ENTRAPMENT EFFICIENCY
Entrapment efficiency test results
by the direct method were obtained. The
average
percentage
of
entrapment
efficiency for p-sinefrin in F1 was 64.05
0.75%, 46.05 0.24% for F2 and F3 was
56.21 1.55%. The highest percent of
entrapment was F1, thats used tween as a
surfactant. Things that affects to
entrapment efficiency was the alkyl chain
that is contained in surfactants (9). The
longer alkyl chain of the surfactant in span
80, the lower the capacity of entrapment
will be. If the HLB value is 8.6 or more it
will have a high entrapment efficiency,
while the value of HLB is around 8.6 to
1.7, entrapment efficiency will be
decreased.
