Owing to this infection, the affected patients experience reduced quality of their life as its awful appearance undermines their daily activities and social interactions. Onychomycosis is notoriously strenuous to cure. Systemic therapy, though effective, possess severe complication of toxicities, contra\u2010indication, and drug\u2013drug interaction. Albeit topical therapy is favorable to its localized effect, its potency relates to the effective concentration of the antifungal drugs achieved at the infection site. An approach to accomplish this goal would be acquiring benefits from the terpenes as penetration enhancers from natural sources. This investigation aimed to study the effectiveness of six terpenes, namely safranal, lavandulol, rose oxide, 3\u2010methyl\u20102\u2010butene\u20101\u2010ol, linalool, and limonene, as potential penetration enhancers for improved nail permeation of fluconazole through the human nail.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Ex vivo permeation experiments were carried out by soaking the nail clippings of human volunteers in control and working solutions containing fluconazole (5\u00a0mg\/ml) per se and fluconazole (5\u00a0mg\/ml) with 6% of each terpene, including safranal, lavandulol, rose oxide, 3\u2010methyl\u20102\u2010butene\u20101\u2010ol, linalool, and limonene, respectively, for 48\u00a0h.
