Ionic Liquid (ILs) in oil microemulsions (IL/O MEs) have emerged as a potential carrier for transdermal drug delivery, particularly for sparingly soluble drug molecules, such as acyclovir and methotrexate. However, less attention was paid in the selection of non-toxic and biodegradable ILs. In this...
