RETRACTED ARTICLE: Influence of various lipid core on characteristics of SLNs designed for topical delivery of fluconazole against cutaneous candidiasis

Abstract

We, the Publisher and Editor of Pharmaceutical Development and Technology, have retracted the following article.

Madhu Gupta, Shailja Tiwari & Suresh P. Vyas (2013) Influence of various lipid core on characteristics of SLNs designed for topical delivery of fluconazole against cutaneous candidiasis, Pharmaceutical Development and Technology, 18:3, 550–559, DOI: 10.3109/10837450.2011.598161

Following publication of this article, concerns about the duplication of Figure 2B were brought to the attention of the Editor and Publisher. The figure appears to have been duplicated from Figure 1C from:

Madhu Gupta, Bhuvaneshwar Vaidya, Neeraj Mishra & Suresh P. Vyas (2011) Effect of Surfactants on the Characteristics of Fluconazole Niosomes for Enhanced Cutaneous Delivery, Artificial Cells, Blood Substitutes, and Biotechnology, 39:6, 376–384, DOI: 10.3109/10731199.2011.611476

The authors were contacted but could not provide the original image. The Editor has determined the findings of the article are unreliable and requested for the article to be retracted.

We have been informed in our decision-making by our policy on publishing ethics and integrity and the COPE guidelines on retractions.

The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as ‘Retracted’.
