Thixotropic Hydrogels Based on Laponite® and Cucurbituril for Delivery of Lipophilic Drug Molecules.

Invited for this month's cover are the collaborating groups of Prof. Serena Riela at University of Catania, Prof. César Viseras at University of Granada and Dr. Ignacio Sainz‐Diaz at Instituto Andaluz de Ciencias de la Tierra. The cover picture shows the possible application of the developed system. In particular, flufenamic acid, anti‐inflammatory and anti‐pyretic drug, was complexed into cucurbituril cavity and the supramolecular system obtained was used as filler for laponite® hydrogel for its topical delivery. More information can be found in the Research Article by Viseras‐Iborra, Riela, and co‐workers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
