Effects of the single factor on the EE, particle size, and PDI of PAE-ethosomes. A and B: effects of total flow rate; C and D: effects of cholesterol concentration; E and F: effects of phospholipid concentration. Standard errors of the means (n = 3) are shown by the vertical bars. Duncan?s multiple range test indicates that values within each item that are indicated with distinct lower-case letters are substantially different (p < 0.05).

Effects of various parameters on EE with 3-D response surface plots and 2-D contour plots.

TEM results of PAE-ethosomes on particle size distributions and surface morphologies.

FT-IR spectra of pyonosulfonyl alcohol, soybean-phospholipid (PC), cholesterol (CHO), mannitol, and PAE-ethosome.

Effect on EE, ZP, VS, and PDI stored at different temperatures: 4 and 25 ± 1 °C for 30 days (n = 3).

In vitro release curve of paeonol and paeonol ethosomes (n = 3).

Soybean phospholipid interacted with paeonol via hydrogen bonds.

In-vitro permeation profiles of paeonol formulations through the Bama minia ture pig skin (n = 3).

Deposition of paeonol in the Bama minia ture pig skin after the in vitro skin permeation experiment (n = 3).

In vivo anti-inflammatory activity in transgenic fluorescent zebrafish Tg (Lyz: EGFP JS7). Scale bar is 100 ?m. A: treated with lipid (40 ?g/mL), paeonol (5, 10, 20, 30, and 40 ?g/mL), and PAE-ethosomes (5, 10, 20, 30, and 40 ?g/mL). B: number of inflammatory cell migration in zebrafish after treatment with paeonol and PAE-ethosomes (5, 10, 20, 30, and 40 ?g/mL). One-way ANOVA and Dunnett?s test were used to evaluate the data using Graph Pad Prism 7.0 (GraphPad Software; CA, USA). The findings were presented as mean ± SD, ***p < 0.001 VS CuSO4, and ###P < 0.001 VS Ctrl.

In vivo immunomodulatory effects in transgenic fluorescent zebrafish Tg (Lyz: EGFP). Scale bar is 100 ?m. A: treated with vinorelbine (150 ?g/mL), lipid (40 ?g/mL), paeonol (2.5, 5, 10, 20, 30, and 40 ?g/mL), and PAE-ethosomes (2.5, 5, 10, 20, 30, and 40 ?g/mL). B: number of macrophages in zebrafish after treatment with vinorelbine (150 ?g/mL), paeonol, and PAE-ethosomes (2.5, 5, 10, 20, 30, and 40 ?g/mL). The data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett?s test using Graph Pad Prism 7.0 (GraphPad Software; CA, USA). The results were expressed as mean ± SD, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 VS Ctrl.
