Abstract: AIM: To investigate the use of equivalent numerical method based on entropy weight in evaluating comprehensively the promoting effect of transdermal enhancers. METHODS: Using paracetamol as model drug, the promoting effects of azone, menthol, camphor, oleic acid, clove oil, nepeta oil, patchouli oil were detected by transdermal absorption experimentation in rabbit skin in vitro, indexes such as cumulative permeation quantity, penetrating rates, enhancement ratio and lag time were calculated, finally the equivalent numerical method based on entropy weight was used to evaluate the promoting effects of those transdermal enhancers. RESULTS: The promoting effect of 2% camphor and 2% cloves promoted paracetamol was best, 1% Azone, 2% nepeta oil, 2% menthol, 2% oleic acid in sequence,2% patchouli oil was worst. CONCLUSION: The equivalent numerical method based on entropy weight could evaluate the promoting effect of transdermal enhancers objectively and fairly.
