▼ Canine osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive degenerative disease often leading to inflammation, pain and disuse of the affected joint. Meloxicam, commonly used to manage canine OA, is given as oral tablets or suspensions, or intravenous (IV) or subcutaneous (SC) injections. However, these routes are associated with decreased owner compliance and adverse drug reactions (ADRs) with chronic use. delivra™ uses the
transdermal delivery route to transport meloxicam. Meloxicam compounded in delivra™ (TDM) was investigated to evaluate i) penetration of meloxicam into canine synovial fluid (SF) and plasma, ii) stability of TDM and iii) anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties of TDM. Results demonstrated that delivra™ was able to transport meloxicam to canine SF and plasma at comparable levels to oral Metacam® suspension and meloxicam was stable in delivra™ for up to 2 months. However, initial work with TDM did not demonstrate significant anti-inflammatory or analgesic effects in a rat model of inflammation.

▼ The transdermal delivery route has become a popular alternative to more conventional routes, such as oral administration, but has not yet reached its full potential (Prausnitz & Langer, 2008:1261). Although the transdermal route proves to have several advantages over the conventional route, the greatest challenge is to overcome the effective barrier of the skin (Jepps et al., 2012:153). The permeation of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) through the skin is a complex, multi-step process and therefore predicting the permeability of the API is difficult (Jepps et al., 2012:153; Williams, 2003:30). Various approaches have been developed to overcome the skin barrier and it is recognised that the nature of the vehicle in which the API is applied plays a significant role in promoting transdermal delivery (Foldvari, 2000:417). It is important to consider the fate of the formulation ingredients and the API after application and how this changes the composition of the formulation on the skin when developing a vehicle for transdermal delivery (Lane et al., 2012:496; Otto et al., 2009:2).
Wiechers (2012) proposed the Skin Delivery Gap (SDG) as an indicator for the permeability of an API. An API with a SDG < 1 will readily permeate the skin, whilst an SDG > 1 indicates a more complex delivery system is required. The partitioning of the API between the skin and the formulation is influenced by the formulation and by altering the formulation properties it is possible to manipulate the transdermal delivery of the API. The relative polarity index (RPI), based on the octanol-water partition coefficient (log P) of the stratum corneum, formulation and the API, was initially developed by Wiechers as a tool for developing formulations with an optimal polarity, to ensure the transdermal delivery of at least 50% of the API (Lane et al., 2012:498; Wiechers, 2008:94; Wiechers et al., 2004:174). The use of log P as an indicator of polarity was considered impractical by Hansen (2013) and acknowledged by both Wiechers and Abbott, who consequently developed the Formulating for Efficacy™ (FFE™) software which uses Hansen solubility parameters (HSP) instead of log P to indicate polarity (Hansen, 2013). The FFE™ calculates HSP distances, known as gaps, between the skin, API and the formulation to indicate the solubility of the different components in each other. A smaller HSP gap indicates a high solubility. The FFE™ enables the formulator to develop a formulation with a good balance between the active-formulation gap (AFG) and the skin-formulation gap (SFG) to ensure sufficient diffusion of the API into the skin.
The FFE™ software was used to develop formulations containing 1.5% atropine as a model drug. Formulations of different polarity (optimised towards the stratum corneum, more hydrophilic and more lipophilic) were developed to determine the effect of the polarity of the formulation and the relevant HSP gaps on the transdermal delivery of the API. The same
formulations were utilised for atropine sulphate to determine the effect…

Pharmaceutical technology
Nesteroidni antiinflamatorni lekovi (NSAIL) su
heterogena grupa lekovitih supstanci sa antiinflamatornim,
antipiretičkim i analgetskim delovanjem. Iako postoji više od 50
različitih NSAIL na svetskom tržištu, stalno istraživanje i razvoj
novih lekovitih supstanci ove terapijske grupe je posledica
njihovog nepovoljnog farmakokinetičkog profila (npr. kratko
poluvreme eliminacije) i/ili ispoljavanja neželjenih efekata (npr.
na nivou gastrointestinalnog trakta). Aceklofenak je indikovan za
oralnu primenu u terapiji reumatoidnih bolesti, kao i u terapiji
drugih upalnih i bolnih stanja. I pored prednosti u odnosu na
ostale lekovite supstance iz ove grupe, hronična oralna primena
aceklofenaka može dovesti do pojave neželjenih efekata koji su
karakteristični i za ostale NSAIL, te se nameće potreba za
prevazilaženjem ovih problema primenom farmaceutsko-tehnoloških
pristupa i/ili drugim putem primene. Jedan od načina za smanjenje
neželjenih efekata i zaobilaženje metabolizma prvog prolaza je
lokalna primena aceklofenaka u terapiji reumatoidnih bolesti. Da bi
koncentracija lokalno primenjenog aceklofenaka bila dovoljna za
ispoljavanje kliničkog efekta, neophodno je prevazići stratum
corneum, primarnu barijeru za difuziju lekovitih supstanci u kožu.
Koloidni nosači tipa mikroemulzija su perspektivni nosači lekovitih
supstanci, čijom se primenom može poboljšati dermalna/transdermalna
isporuka, a time i lokalna i/ili sistemska raspoloživost. Sa druge
strane, neophodno je posvetiti posebnu pažnju izboru ekscipijenasa,
kako sa aspekta bezbednosti/iritacije, tako i sa aspekta njihovog
potencijalnog uticaja na dermalnu/transdermalnu isporuku lekovite
supstance. Saharozni estri su nejonski surfaktanti, a njihove
osobine poput biokompatibilnosti, biodegradabilnosti, niskog rizika
da dovedu do iritacije, i potencijala da deluju kao pojačivači
penetracije, predstavljaju značajne prednosti ovih surfaktanata u
odnosu na tradicionalno korišćene, sintetske, etoksilovane
surfaktante. Imajući to u vidu, osnovni cilj istraživanja ove
doktorske disertacije predstavlja proučavanje molekularnih
mehanizama kojima saharozni estri, sa različitom dužinom lipofilnog
lanca, povećavaju penetraciju lekovitih
supstanci...

▼ Nanocarriers have become a popular platform for
delivering nucleic acid for therapeutic and pest control methods.
The peptide-based nanocarriers, branched amphiphilic peptide
capsules (BAPCs), have shown the ability to deliver plasmid DNA in
vitro and in vivo. The mode of administration for nucleic acid,
affects the efficiency of
delivery and is dependent on the target
tissue and environment advantages. Delivering dsRNA orally in
insects can provide pest control in the field with minimal to no
effect on surrounding species. However, this
delivery method has
proven to be highly variable. BAPCs facilitate the uptake of dsRNA
in Tribolium castaneum when administered orally through their diet.
The gene transcripts tested, BiP and Armet, are involved in the
unfolded protein response (UPR) and successful knockdown results in
lethality. Complexes of dsRNA-BAPCs were shown to cross the gut
epithelium and enter the hemolymph, and further visualized in the
midgut epithelial cells, fat bodies, and Malpighian tubules.
Transdermal delivery of nucleic acids and compounds is challenging
due to the layers of protective barriers of the skin. Magnetic
nanobeads surrounded by a bilayer of branched amphiphilic peptides
(BAP-MNBs) were tested for
transdermal delivery in mice tails with
various skin contact times (1 min, 5 min, 15 min, and 30 min) and
post exposure incubation times (1 h, 8 h, and 24 h). BAP-MNBs were
extracted from tissues using magnetic separation to look at
biodistribution as a pilot study. BAP-MNBs suggest a preference for
entering through the follicular pathway and accumulate in the
spleen, indicating potential for
transdermal delivery of DNA
vaccines.

▼ Small molecule drug discovery relies heavily on synthetic organic chemistry to develop novel chemical entities that elicit desirable therapeutic effects. The development of targeted chemical syntheses is of paramount importance to access molecules for biological evaluation and is usually considered the bottleneck in most drug discovery campaigns. Targets for chemical syntheses commonly draw inspiration from molecules of natural origin. Nature harbors a wealth of chemical diversity that has established itself over millions of years through chemical and biological evolution. Organisms have an inherent ability to protect themselves from predators and harmful environments. In doing so, many of them evolve to produce chemical defenses in order to survive in their environments. Unfortunately, most bioactive natural products are not present in large abundance and require chemical syntheses for evaluation of their therapeutic potential.
Antibiotic resistance has become a major health concern that is creating a health and financial burden on society. There is an unmet need to develop new antibiotics to combat the ever-evolving microbes. Drug-resistant bacteria capable of adopting biofilm morphology become increasingly resistant to antibiotic treatment, threatening the life of the patient. A series of marine natural products (MNPs) have recently been identified to exhibit promising activity against methicillin resistant Stahphylococcus aureus (MRSA) biofilms. One of the most potent compounds in the series was the MNP membranolide. The intriguing biological properties of membranolide have led us to develop an enantioselective synthesis of the natural product and related analogs for further evaluation against MRSA biofilms (outlined in chapter 2).
Microbial infections are not limited to bacteria. Parasitic and amoebic pathogens can cause infections as well, with the latter being underrepresented in drug discovery. The lack of research and development in the area of amoebic infections may be partly due to the rarity of occurrence. However, some amoebic infections have extremely high mortality rates, such as those caused by Naegleria fowleri, presenting a dire need for new therapeutics. Phytocannabinoid natural products have been found to exhibit anti-proliferation activity against N. fowleri and represent a class of compounds that may aid in the efforts in combatting its infections. A novel chemical synthesis is disclosed in chapter 3 that gives rise to tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) and related analogs to further evaluate and understand their biological activity. Furthermore, these compounds could be effective treatments against a myriad of other clinical indications including but not limited to pain, inflammation, anxiety and even Alzheimer’s disease.
The cannabinoids are well-known for their unique biological and physiochemical properties; however, they lack ideal pharmacokinetic profiles to become successful therapeutics. Their poor absorption through traditional delivery routes can be addressed either by…

▼ Transdermal drug
delivery is the most preferred drug
delivery method, due to its high efficiency and less side effects. In conventional
transdermal drug
delivery, the
delivery of macromolecular drugs (ex: Insulin, vaccines etc.) is limited by skin barrier. Several possible approaches have been proposed to overcome this limitation (chemical, electrical, ultrasound, microneedle etc.). Among these, the microneedle approach is considered as one of the best method to improve the effective
delivery of drug. These microneedles penetrate into the outermost skin layers namely stratum corneum and epidermis. The thickness of the above mentioned skin layers will impose the constraints on the design of microneedle for the successful
delivery of drug. On the other hand, along with the microneedle, the micropump is one more important functional module essential for a continuous drug
delivery application such as insulin
delivery for diabetic patients.
The aim of the present work is to improve the
transdermal drug
delivery using microneedle and micropump technology. Details on the fabrication, evaluation of both solid and hollow microneedle structures have been presented. Issues such as penetration reliability, liquid
delivery into the skin and microneedle packaging are also discussed. Peristaltic micropump was developed to achieve a controlled flow of drug through the microneedle array. The developed micropump was successfully characterized to meet the typical drug
delivery pump requirements such as: fail-safe mechanisms, adequate
delivery of drug against blood pressure, ease of tubing and flow control over wide range. The micropump was integrated with necessary electronics and characterized for the complete drug
delivery operation. Finally, the microneedle and micropump
-based system was tested and studied in vivo for insulin
delivery. Results obtained were compared with the standard subcutaneous
delivery with the same dose rate and found that they are in good agreement. The thesis is divided into seven chapters.
Chapter 1
The present chapter discusses a general brief introduction along with literature survey about microneedle and micropump for drug
delivery applications. Information on fabrication of the microneedle array using different methods and their characterization to improve the
transdermal drug
delivery has been discussed. It also includes the information on the usage of micropump in drug
delivery application.
Chapter 2
This chapter discusses the design, fabrication and characterization of cup shaped solid silicon microneedle array for leak proof drug
delivery application. The mechanical stability of the fabricated microneedle to insert into the skin has been studied. The drug filled cup shaped microneedles were inserted into mice skin and drug dissolution was confirmed using fluorescence imaging technique.
Chapter 3
In this chapter, details on the fabrication of out-of-plane Si microneedle array using both isotropic and anisotropic etching processes has been presented. The fabricated microneedles were…

▼ The global burden of HIV and AIDS coupled with the limitations of current oral tenofovir (TNF) administration drives the need to develop strategies such as the use of alternate routes of administration to improve drug therapy.
Transdermal drug
delivery (TDD) offers numerous advantages and is an attractive alternative for the systemic
delivery of TNF. Although the inherent protective barrier property of skin is one of the major challenges in the design of TDD systems, the use of chemical permeation enhancers (CPEs) such as fatty acids (FA) and their esters or the use of nano drug
delivery systems have the potential to overcome this limitation. To date there are no reports on TDD permeation enhancement strategies or a nanoemulgel (NEG) as a TDD formulation for TNF. Novel lipidic approaches that reversibly decrease the barrier properties of the skin as well as the use lipid based nano drug
delivery systems such as NEGs to enhance the TDD of TNF remain to be investigated. The broad aim of this study was therefore to explore the potential of novel lipid-based strategies for enhancing
transdermal permeation of TNF. The specific research aims of this study were to: (1) Synthesize and characterize novel biocompatible dendritic ester derivatives of unsaturated FAs (UFAs) and explore their potential as promising permeation enhancers for the
transdermal delivery of TNF. (2) Evaluate the novel application of UFA esters of cholesterol as promising
transdermal permeation enhancers using TNF as a model drug. (3) Synthesize and characterize novel biocompatible mono, di and tri-ester derivatives of FAs and explore their potential as promising
transdermal permeation enhancers using TNF as a model drug. (4) Explore the potential of novel linolenic acid based heterolipid, LLA1E (a novel
transdermal permeation enhancer), as an oily phase in the development of a nanoemulgel for the
transdermal drug
delivery of TNF.
UFAs [palmitoleic (PA), linoleic (LA), linolenic (LLA) and arachidonic acid (AA)] were used to synthesize novel dendritic ester derivatives [PA1E, LA1E, LLA1E and AA1E]. The structural features of the biosafe derivatives were confirmed by FTIR, NMR (1H and 13C) and HRMS. All synthesized novel dendritic ester derivatives at 1% w/w were found to be more effective enhancers with LLA1E being identified as the most superior with an ER of 6.11 at 2% w/w. Histomorphological analysis displayed no significant loss in the integrity of the skin and also indicated that TNF utilized both the transcellular and intercellular route of transport, with the drug and enhancer treatment having no permanent effects on the epidermis. Therefore these novel dendritic ester derivatives of UFAs can be considered as effective
transdermal permeation enhancers for TNF. The TDD potential of TNF using UFA esters of Cholesterol (Chol) viz., oleate, linoleate and linolenate, as CPEs showed that all Chol UFA esters at 1% w/w were found to be more effective enhancers when compared to their respective parent FAs and saturated FAs counterparts.

▼ Atopic dermatitis is a major public health problem worldwide. It has a wide clinical spectrum ranging from minor forms such as dry, depigmented patches (pityraisis alba), to major forms with erythrodermic rash, with the rash being slightly more common in boys (Beiber and Prolss, 2008). The age of onset is generally 2-6 months.
Several treatments are available for atopic dermatitis including: oral corticosteroids, topical corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors and antibiotics. Given orally, corticosteroids can have permanent and severe side effects (e.g. Cushing’s syndrome). Topical or
transdermal drug
delivery is preferred over oral treatments because it allows prolonged continuous and consistent release of the drug into the systemic circulation, direct drug release to the target area, and the ability to avoid first-pass gastrointestinal and hepatic metabolism to minimise adverse effects. At the time of this study, at least two textiles had been developed for the treatment of atopic dermatitis: DermaSilk® and Padycare®. Both these fabrics have antimicrobial finishes which treat the secondary bacterial infection generally present on the erythrodermic rash. Previous studies have shown that both fabrics are effective in treating the rash present in atopic dermatitis. However, at the time of the current study DermaSilk® was not commonly available in New Zealand and was expensive, therefore it was not a viable option for wide use. The other fabric available, Padycare®, was made from silver filaments. Silver had been shown to have potential side effects to humans and the environment. Thus, there was a need for an inexpensive, safe, readily available dermal treatment for atopic dermatitis.
The purpose of the current study was to design a cotton and silk
transdermal patch for the treatment of atopic dermatitis and to study the relevant physical properties of these fabrics. The mass, thickness, air permeability, water vapour permeability and LAC of the fabrics were measured. The fabric specimens were then immersed in one of the two different concentrations (5mg/ml and 10mg/ml) of hydrocortisone and ethanol solutions for two minutes. The specimens were then dried and physical properties re-measured. FTIR, XRPD and SEM were performed to determine whether the hydrocortisone adhered to the fabric and if so in what solid state form (amphorous or crystalline). The physical properties of the fabrics differed from each other but both would be suitable for a
transdermal patch in the treatment of atopic dermatitis. The physical properties of the fabrics did not differ after immersion compared to before. FTIR and XRPD did not show any difference between the non-treated, 5mg/ml and 10mg/ml specimens. Neither FTIR nor XRPD showed any difference between the non-treated and the pipetted samples; therefore both instruments may not have been able to detect small amounts of hydrocortisone on the fabrics. SEM confirmed that there was no visible evidence of hydrocortisone on specimens immersed in either of the two concentrations tested,…

▼ Transdermal Drug
Delivery (TDD) through skin patches has many advantages including the following: slow and continuous administration of the therapeutic over long periods of time, timely dosage, accessibility, kinetic maneuverability, elimination of the “First Pass Effect” and negative side effects on the digestive tract. All of the above justify investment into further development of TDD therapies, despite the skin permeability restrictions posed on size and charge by the skin. As skin permeability varies between all individuals based on age, ethnicity and lifestyle, the determination of the proper drug dosages to be contained in the skin patch is highly reliant on clinical trials. The objective of this research is to further investigate the application of components of a modified Duda-Zalinsky Equation (DZE) for drug diffusivity through a polymer matrix, to account for physical enhancers added to the Heated Lidocaine-Tetracaine Patch based on diffusivity results obtained from tests run in a Franz Cell apparatus. Pre-clinical trials computational estimation of the drug’s diffusion properties with respect to the polymer matrix and skin will provide for safer clinical trials, with testing dosages that are closer to the therapeutic drug concentration in the blood.

▼ In recent years,
transdermal drug
delivery patches (TDDP) have developed rapidly. This is because the TDD system has more advantages than traditional drug
delivery systems such as oral medicine and intravenous injection. In order to reach the circulatory system of the human body, drug molecules have to pass through the epidermis (outer layer) of the skin. The barrier properties of epidermis originate from low permeability of stratum corneum (SC) which is the outermost layer of the human skin. The objective of this thesis is to build a Finite Element (FE) model, utilizing commercial FE software (ANSYS), that can be implemented to estimate parameters of diffusion as well as common diffusion cell experiments. Use of the regular geometry, “brick and mortar”, to simulate tortuous intercellular route of SC is presented. It is assumed that diffusion occurs only within the SC lipids and the lipids are isotropic. The steady-state flux and lag time are solved and compared with the analytical results.

▼ Under the influence of an electric field, ionic electro-active polymers generally bend or deswell, depending on the shape of the polymer matrices and its position relative to the electrodes. In this study, we investigate the bending behaviour of regenerated cellulose-based ionic electro-active composites for the fabrication of soft actuators with improved actuation force and durability. This research also focuses on the externally induced (electrically and magnetically) matrices deswelling and other responses, which affect the release of drug from the matrices. For actuation studies, we prepared matrices by combining carbon nanofibers, conducting polymers, and ionic liquids (through blending, doping, or coating) into the regenerated cellulose. We observed that actuators coated by polypyrrole doped with anthraquinone-2-sulfonic acid sodium salt monohydrate showed improved electrical conductivity and durability compared to that of using perchlorate ion as the dopant. This is due to the preparation process and the effect of dopants that play an important role to improve the performance of the regenerated cellulose-based ionic electro-active actuators. In addition, we investigated the influence of electrode design (layer-by-layer structure) on the properties of the actuators.
Further, in this study, we developed three types of matrices consisting of regenerated cellulose/functionalized carbon nanofibers, regenerated cellulose/functionalized carbon nanofibers/polypyrrole, and regenerated cellulose/γ-ferric oxide/polypyrrole. We investigated the effects of electric field strength and electrode polarity on the release rate of sulfosalicylic acid (drug) in an acetate buffer solution with pH 5.5 and temperature 37 ᵒC during a period of 5 h. Drug release rate from the matrices containing carbon nanofibers (additives) increased effectively with increasing applied electric field. The mechanism of drug release from drug-doped polypyrrole coated matrices includes expansion of conductive polymer chain and the electrostatic force between electron and drug. The novelty of the work is- the matrices can also work under magnetic field and consequently, one can be beneficial from a contactless actuation. In this study, we also investigated electrical conductivity, morphology, swelling behaviour of the composite matrices, electro-active composite-drug interaction, and in vitro drug release behaviour of the matrices. Further, a comparative study was performed on the rate of drug release from the matrices induced by electric and magnetic field.

U širokoj oblasti nanotehnologija, nanomedicina
predstavlja disciplinu koja se veoma brzo razvija i pruža
obećavajuće mogućnosti za značajno poboljšanje medicinske
dijagnostike i terapije. Posebno značajan istraživački interes u
nanomedicini usmjeren je ka ispitivanju širokog spektra
biomedicinskih nanomaterijala, razvijenih za izradu nosača
dijagnostičkih sredstava i lijekova. Među brojnim biomaterijalima
neorganskog i organskog porijekla, polimeri su pronašli široku
upotrebu u formulaciji nanosistema za kontrolisanu i ciljanu
isporuku lijekova. Poli-D,L-mliječna kiselina (PDLLA) je sintetski
polimer koji je odobren za kliničku primjenu, budući da se njegovi
biokompatibilni degradacioni proizvodi metabolišu i uklanjaju iz
organizma ciklusom limunske kiseline. Koloidni nosači ljekovitih
supstanci izrađeni od ovog polimera intenzivno se istražuju zbog
svoje male veličine koja omogućava permeaciju lijeka kroz biološke
barijere i njegovu produženu isporuku u ciljna tkiva. Pored
sposobnosti da kontrolišu oslobađanje lijeka, polimerne nanočestice
takođe poboljšavaju isporuku lijekova slabo rastvornih u vodi,
smanjuju pojavu neželjenih efekata, pružaju mogućnost stabilizacije
i zaštite inkorporirane ljekovite supstance od hemijske i enzimske
degradacije, omogućavaju njenu bolju penetraciju i efikasniju
akumulaciju na ciljnim mjestima. Imajući u vidu sve navedene
aspekte, kao model supstanca u ovom radu izabran je ketoprofen,
slabo rastvoran lijek u vodi koji ima kratko poluvrijeme
eliminacije i ispoljava veliki broj neželjenih efekata nakon
(per)oralne primjene. Osim primjene nanonosača ljekovitih
supstanci, još jedan pristup za poboljšanje transdermalne isporuke
lijeka je fizičko premošćavanje stratum corneum-a (SC) primjenom
mikroigala. Neinvazivnom i bezbolnom primjenom mikroigala formiraju
se mikrokanali u koži, koji obezbjeđuju intradermalni i
transdermalni transport ljekovite supstance. Na temelju prethodnih
razmatranja, osnovni cilj istraživanja ove doktorske disertacije
bio je razvoj i karakterizacija polimernih nanočestičnih sistema za
produženo oslobađanje ketoprofena...

▼ Most individuals are influenced by pain at some stage in their lives. It can either be of acute or chronic nature. An acute pain condition initiates and is treated within a time span of 12 weeks. Chronic pain can, however, take substantially longer to treat. Chronic pain may last up to 6 months after the original injury was sustained. The after effects of chronic pain can, however, take years to heal, but physical and emotional scars may even last much longer than the initial chronic ailment.
In this study the skin was chosen as an area for delivery of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for the treatment of pain at the joint and muscle tissue regions. The stratum corneum (the topmost horny layer of the skin), however bars the effective movement of chemical substances across the skin as it forms part of the skin's function to protect the superficial tissue of the body against the external environment. It furthermore plays an important role in regulation of the movement of chemicals across the skin. Sweat pores and hair follicles can be utilised as pathways for the movement of chemical substances through the stratum corneum. Physical deformation ie, hydration of the top layer of the skin, may also enhance the movement of chemicals
The non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, diclofenac, has been evaluated for transdermal diffusion. Three different diclofenac salts were evaluated, namely diclofenac diethylamine, diclofenac hydroxyethyl pyrrolidine and diclofenac sodium. These salts have the potential to relieve systemic pain conditions. Diclofenac salts, however, possess physicochemical characteristics that are unfavourable for transdermal diffusion.
Pheroid™ delivery technology, as patented by the Northwest-University, was implemented as a method to enhance transdermal delivery of the diclofenac salts. During the study each of the diclofenac salts was formulated in a Pheroid™ and non-Pheroid™ formulation. All the formulations as well as corresponding retail products containing similar diclofenac salts were evaluated in order to determine which preparation had the most effective transdermal diffusion.
High performance liquid chromatograhphy was implemented in order to determine the concentration of each salt in their various preparations. The Pheroid™ and non-Pheroid™ formulations were also compared to retail products currently available. An active ingredient flux was determined by means of Franz cell diffusion studies. Membrane diffusion studies were utilised in order to determine whether the active ingredients were effectively released from the formulated preparations and market products.
Membrane diffusion studies determined that Arthruderm (the retail product containing diclofenac sodium) had the most potential to effectively release the active ingredient from the formulation (median flux 28.36 ± 0.26 ug/cm2.h"1). Franz cell diffusion studies showed no flux values for any of the evaluated preparations, including the retail products. Concentrations obtained within the epidermis and dermis were determined…

▼ Local anaesthetics have been implemented extensively in the case of a variety of painful
superficial procedures, venipuncture, skin graft harvesting, anal or genital pruritus, poison ivy
rashes, postherpetic neuralgia and several other dermatoses. The dilemma with
commercially available local acting anaesthetics is that it may take well up to an hour to
produce an anaesthetic effect. Anaesthetics have to traverse the highly efficient barrier, the
stratum corneum, in order to reach the intended target site which is the free nerve endings
located in the dermis.
The objective of this study was to compare the transdermal delivery of an eutectic
combination of two ionisable amide types of local anaesthetics, lidocaine HCI and
prilocaine HCI, delivered with the novel Pheroid™ technology to that of a commercially
available product in order to establish whether the lag time could be significantly reduced.
Several techniques of promoting the penetration of these anaesthetics have previously been
employed, including occlusive dressing, entrapment in liposomes and miscelles,
iontophoretic delivery and so forth. The Pheroid™ delivery system is novel technology that
entails improved delivery of several active compounds. It is a submicron emulsion type
formulation that possesses the ability to be transformed in morphology and size, thereby
affording it tremendous flexibility. Since it primarily consists of unsaturated essential fatty
acids, it is not seen as foreign to the body but rather as a skin-friendly carrier.
Vertical Franz cell diffusion studies were performed over a 12 hour period using Caucasian female abdominal skin obtained, with the consent of the donor, from abdominoplastic surgery. Comparison was made between the commercial product EMLA® cream, the active local anaesthetics dissolved in phosphate buffered solution (PBS) and the active ingredients entrapped within Pheroid™ vesicles. Distinct entrapment could be ascertained visually by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). The amount of drug that traversed the epidermal membrane into the receptor phase was then assayed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
The results obtained with the Pheroid™ vesicles revealed a biphasic character with rapid permeation during the first two hours, followed by a plateau between 3 to 12 hours. The initial dramatic increase in percentage yield and flux indicates that the Pheroid™ carrier enhances the transdermal delivery of the actives in order to accelerate the onset of action.

▼ The skin is an effective barrier against the invasion of noxious chemicals and harmful pathogens. The rigidity of the outermost layer of skin, stratum corneum, hinders the transdermal delivery of drugs especially those with large molecular weight and low lipophilicity. A pathway across the skin barrier is needed for drug delivery. Microneedles primarily made of silicon, metals or polymers can be used to breach the skin barrier and facilitate transdermal drug administration. This study explores zeolite, microporous aluminosilicate structure, as a material for microneedle. A back-side exposure technique for forming the SU-8 into template needle structure was developed for fabrication of various zeolite microneedle shapes including cylindrical, hollow and tapered structure. Fabrication parameters for controlling the length and shape of zeolite microneedles were investigated. The mechanical properties of the fabricated zeolite microneedles were measured and analyzed. The axial fracture force, shear fracture force and insertion force for excised porcine skin model were obtained. The relationship of the zeolite microneedle geometry to its axial fracture force was determined, and a safety factor of 3.2 to 4.3 were obtained for zeolite microneedles for skin insertion due to the sharp edge of zeolite crystals on the tip. Finally, in vivo transdermal drug delivery by zeolite microneedles was illustrated for influenza vaccination of mice model. The serum IgG level of mice by conventional vaccination and vaccination by zeolite microneedles were found to be comparable indicating successful vaccination by microneedles.

▼ Ever since the day that the Chinese take the boiled tea leaves as refreshing drink, the Egyptian has their first record of celebrating their triumphant return with alcohols, or people from Maya civilization obtain tobacco as the “joy” and “rejoicing”, our human being happens to start on a journey of improving the quality of life. By exploring various materials with medical value, developing techniques to extracting components from raw pieces and changing the route and targets of administration, our knowledge and understanding give us a more and more precise and lusher concept of “drug”. Among all those schools and sects of “drug” exploration, “formulation” and “delivery”, two of the most mentioned words, are the focus of this study. Aiming to protect the drug from the influence of exogenous elements before reaching the target area or to achieve a longer lasting controlled release of active ingredients, formulation and reformulation is vital and determined to improve the acceptance of drug to human body. Moreover, with its properties of well-concentrated, low risk of inflammation and easy preserved, solid formulations are sharing more and more attention when it comes to formulation selection. This study provides several possibilities of developing solid formulations as reference, which includes: Solid Alginate Micro-Emulsions (SAMEs), Solid Lipid Nano-Particles (SLNPs), Magnetic Nano-Particles (MNPs), Starch-Granulate-Stabilized Emulsions (SGSEs) and Thermo-Responsive Micro-Gels (TRMGs). Synthesis pathways with materials and methods, characterizations with parameters and instruments and concluding remarks with suggestions will be displayed by each formulation. A well-designed enteral route of delivery can greatly improve the bioavailability of the applied formulation. In fact, many gateways on the human body are selected for the routes: oral, local, respiratory, parenteral, etc., all of which have their advantages and drawbacks. Among these, transdermal delivery through skin, the largest organ, is an attractive subtitle of research, as a painless but direct administration to circulatory system and immune system can be achieved. In this study, a fabricated needle patch, with microfabrication technique, is developed. A device for transdermal delivery: solid formulation-loaded micro-fabricated needle patch with specific adaptor assembled on a high-intensive focused ultrasound (HIFU) source, is designed and prototyped. A series of simulations of transdermal delivery focusing on acoustic-structure interaction are also provided, as theoretical guidelines.

▼ The interest in microemulsions as transdermal delivery systems have been motivated by their large surface area for mass transfer, their high solubilization capacity of hydrophobic actives, and their ability to improve skin penetration. Lecithins (mixtures of phospholipids similar to those find in the skin) have been proposed as ideal surfactants in microemulsions due to their skin compatibility. Unfortunately, their incorporation into microemulsions used to require toxic medium-chain alcohols or viscous polymeric co-surfactants. Recently, microemulsion-base “green solvents” were formulated with lecithin and linker molecules. The main objective of this dissertation was to test this concept of linker-based lecithin microemulsions in transdermal delivery.
In the first part of this study, linker-based lecithin formulations were developed using soybean lecithin as main surfactant, sorbitol monooleate as lipophilic linker, and caprylic acid/sodium caprylate as hydrophilic linkers. These additives, at the suggested concentration, are safe for cosmetic and pharmaceutical applications. The low toxicity of these formulations was confirmed in cultured human skin tissues. The solubilization and permeation of a common anaesthetic, lidocaine, was evaluated. The concept of “skin” permeability was introduced to account for the differences in solvent-skin partition when comparing different delivery systems. The linker-based lecithin microemulsion produced a substantial absorption of lidocaine into the skin, when compared to a conventional pentanol-lecithin microemulsion. The second part of this study takes advantage of the lidocaine adsorbed in the skin with the linker-based lecithin microemulsion as reservoir for in situ skin patches. The in situ patches were able to release 90% of the lidocaine over 24 hours, which is comparable to the release profile obtained from conventional polymer or gel-based patches. In the third part of this work, the role of surfactant droplets on the transport of lidocaine was studied. A mass balance model that accounted for mass transfer and partition coefficients was introduced. The parameters generated from the model confirm that in most cases the transport through the skin limits the overall penetration of lidocaine. Besides the conventional diffusion mechanism, the results suggest that surfactant droplets, carrying lidocaine, also penetrate into the skin and contribute to the accumulation of the lidocaine in the skin.

▼ This thesis investigates the potential for monitoring current and historic blood serum concentrations of amino acids via transdermal extraction using phenylalanine as a case study. This work furthers the field of non-invasive monitoring of amino acid disorders which have several advantages over invasive methods such as blood tests. In this thesis we derive models to simulate blood serum concentrations, the formation of the skin reservoir and, finally, transdermal extraction of amino acids under an applied electric field. Chapter 1 concerns itself with the biological background and sets up motivation of the thesis by discussing amino acids, associated amino acid disorders, the overarching clinical problem, skin structure and transdermal extraction methods. Chapter 2 then considers mathematical techniques utilised throughout the thesis. Chapter 3 formulates a model for the distribution of phenylalanine in blood serum. One compartment and two compartment approaches are considered in both a fasting state and a non-fasting state. We consider if these have a noticeable effect on the blood serum concentration of phenylalanine. Having obtained a model for the distribution of phenylalanine in blood serum, chapter 4 models the formation of reservoirs of amino acids in the skin. Prior work has identified the existence of such a reservoir, but its formation has not been addressed. The models developed consider the effect of the removal of outer layers of skin, the stratum disjunctum, and production of amino acids in the skin. Unknown parameters are estimated by comparing the model to in vivo and in vitro data. Chapter 5 and 6 are concerned with transdermal extraction under an applied electric field. Chapter 5 formulates the velocity induced by applying an electric field across a charged interface. Chapter 6 utilises these results for modelling extraction of compounds through the skin under an applied electric field.

▼ Microemulsions have gained interest from the pharmaceutical industry due to their ability to co-solubilize hydrophilic and lipophilic drugs, and to provide enhanced drug penetration. In this work, thermosensitive gelatin- and poloxamer 407-stabilized microemulsion-based gels (MBGs) were formulated using alcohol-free, low toxicity and low viscosity lecithin-based linker microemulsions. The addition of gelatin to water-rich bicontinuous microemulsions induced the formation of clear viscoelastic gels containing an oil-rich microemulsion as the gelatin seemed to dehydrate the original microemulsion. The addition of poloxamer 407 to water-continuous microemulsions produced MBGs with different gelation temperatures. High concentrations of lipophilic components in the microemulsion, particularly the oil, reduced sol-gel transition temperature, while hydrophilic components increased sol-gel transition temperature. Gelatin and poloxamer MBGs provided desirable viscoelastic properties for ophthalmic and transdermal applications with minimal impact on the transport properties of the original microemulsions.

▼ The skin serves as a semi-permeable barrier that protects the body from pathogens and water loss. The stratum corneum, the upper 10-15 µm layer of skin, is the primary barrier layer. Due to its structure, only drugs that are lipophilic and with a low molecular weight (<500 Da) can penetrate intact skin. This study examines the use of microdermabrasion as a method of removing the stratum corneum to increase the skin's permeability to hydrophilic molecules, proteins, and vaccines. Microdermabrasion is a FDA-approved cosmetic skin resurfacing procedure that removes the stratum by bombarding it with abrasive particles under vacuum. The aims of this thesis are focused on optimizing the microdermabrasion conditions that will selectively remove stratum corneum, evaluating the transport of different sized molecules through abraded skin in vitro, examining drug efficacy in vivo by delivering insulin to diabetic rats, and examining the rate of skin healing after treatment. Microdermabrasion can be used as a non-invasive
transdermal drug technique to safely remove stratum corneum to make the skin more permeable to waters soluble drugs and proteins.

▼ Des formes galéniques spécialement étudiées permettent l'administration topique d'un médicament ou d'un actif cosmétique afin d'obtenir un effet local ou une action systémique. Les excipients présents dans la formulation, comme les tensioactifs dans les solutions micellaires, émulsions, microémulsions, nanoémulsions, nanostructures, peuvent être alors des éléments influençant la pénétration et la perméation de l'actif. L'étude de leurs effets sur la barrière cutanée peut être utile afin de choisir au mieux les différents composés de la formulation. L'objectif de cette thèse a été d'étudier l'effet de différents tensioactifs (alkylpolyglucosides, lipoaminoacides, alcools gras éthoxylés et copolymères à blocs de type Poloxamer) en solution aqueuse sur la structure et la fonction barrière de la peau, grâce à des techniques d'infrarouge à transformée de Fourier, de calorimétrie différentielle à balayage, de mesure de la perte insensible en eau et de microscopie électronique à transmission. L'objectif spécifique de ce travail a porté sur l'étude de l'absorption cutanée ex vivo de trois principes actifs de lipophilie différente (caféine, kétoprofène et progestérone) à travers un modèle de peau animale co-traitée par différents tensioactifs. Plus spécifiquement, la pénétration de la progestérone au sein des différentes couches de la peau a été étudiée compte tenu de sa lipophilie élevée limitant son passage dans les couches cutanées plus hydrophiles. A l'issue de ces travaux, nous montrons que les tensioactifs peuvent exercer non seulement des effets sur l'organisation lamellaire des lipides intercornéocytaires mais aussi sur les cornéocytes du stratum corneum (SC). Par ailleurs, ces différents résultats ont permis de définir les structures chimiques des tensioactifs favorisant l'absorption cutanée de principes actifs. Les tensioactifs anioniques comportant une chaîne aliphatique de 12 carbones augmentent sélectivement la perméation cutanée de principes actifs hydrophiles et la pénétration de principes actifs lipophiles dans les tissus cutanés. La pénétration cutanée de principes actifs est étroitement corrélée à la taille des micelles de tensioactif susceptible de s'incorporer dans les espaces intercornéocytaires du SC. Enfin, la valeur de concentration micellaire critique est une propriété physico-chimique permettant d'expliquer en partie l'effet des tensioactifs sur leur perméabilité cutanée
Dosage forms specially designed allow the topical administration of drugs or cosmetic active ingredients to obtain a local effect or a systemic action. Excipients, such as surfactants in micellar solutions, emulsions, microemulsions, nanoemulsions, nanostructures can influence the drug penetration and permeation. Understanding their effects on skin barrier is helpful in the choice of surfactant. The aim of this thesis was to study the effect of different surfactants (alkylpolyglucosides, lipoaminoacids, ethoxylated fatty alcohol and copolymers blocks) in aqueous solution on the skin barrier structure and function, using techniques…

▼ The applications of
transdermal delivery are limited because of the resistance of the skin to drug diffusion. Only potent drugs, with molecular weight less than 500 Da, are suitable to cross the skin barrier. Chemical Penetration Enhancers (CPEs) are used to promote the absorption of solutes across the dermal layers. In this investigation, a Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) model is applied to relate chemical penetration enhancer structures with the flux enhancement ratio through a statistical approach.
A database, consisting of 61 non-polar CPEs, is selected for the study. Each compound is represented by 777 QSAR descriptors, which encode the physical characteristics of the CPE and its structure. Selection replacement techniques are used to choose the eight most important descriptors. The enhancement ratio, an evaluation of the effect of the CPE, correlates well with this subset of features. The QSAR model can be adopted to predict factors that need to be adjusted to improve permeation of the drug through the skin.
Three QSAR models are developed using different algorithms: forward stepwise regression (FSR), replacement (RM) and enhanced replacement (ERM) techniques. The first two methods yield equations with poor predictive power. The enhanced replacement method gives the best results, which meet cross-validation criteria: q
2 = 0.79, 0.63 and 0.76 for the training set, test set and combined data, respectively. These results meet the predetermined criteria.

▼ Extra pulmonary tuberculosis makes up 10% of all tuberculosis cases and cutaneous tuberculosis (CTB) only a fraction of this 10%. CTB is caused by mainly Mycobacterium tuberculosis and can lead to scarring and deformities. The disease presents in different forms, from superficial granulomas to deeper ulceration and necrosis. Tissue cultures, polymerase chain reactions or purified protein derivative staining is used for the diagnosis of CTB (Barbagallo etal., 2002:320).
Since the current treatment for CTB is oral anti-tubercular regimens and no topical treatment is available yet (Barbagallo et a!., 2002:320), this study aims to provide a topical preparation of isoniazide and rifampicin which will prevent the deformities and scarring caused by CTB and deliver quicker healing. This topical preparation is to be used in addition to oral treatment. Isoniazide and rifampicin are powerful first-line anti-tubercular drugs, active against both intra- and extracellular bacteria (SAMF, 2005:293).
Human skin is a resistant and protective barrier against the external environment and the stratum corneum is the main barrier against diffusion of compounds through the skin (Williams, 2003:9). The physicochemical characteristics (lipophilicity and molecular size) of neither isoniazide nor rifampicin are optimal for penetration of the stratum corneum and the skin-friendly Pheroid™ delivery system was incorporated in two of the formulations to investigate the possibility of improving drug delivery.
In this study the transdermal delivery of isoniazide and rifampicin was studied after formulation into four different topical preparations. The stability of these formulations were determined over a six month period under three different conditions of temperature and humidity (25°C/60% RH (relative humidity), 30°C/60% RH and 40°C/75% RH). Isoniazide and rifampicin were formulated into two Pheroid™ and two non-Pheroid™ spray formulations: lotion, Pheroid™ lotion, emulgel and Pheroid™ emulgel. Micrographs were taken with a confocal laser scanning microscope and it was seen that the formulations were homogenous and oil droplets were smaller than 10 urn, allowing permeation through skin.
Vertical Franz diffusion cells were used for in vitro permeation studies, with cellulose acetate membranes, for 12 h periods at pH 7.4, to determine drug release. The donor phase was the formulation, with 5 mg/ml of isoniazide and 10 mg/ml of rifampicin. The actives were released from the formulations and small concentrations penetrated the membranes. Release for isoniazide was best from the Pheroid™ emulgel and for rifampicin from the Pheroid™ lotion. Thus it can be concluded that the Pheroid™ improved drug release.
The diffusion study was repeated, substituting the membranes with female abdominal skin in order to investigate transdermal delivery. Isoniazide and rifampicin failed to permeate the skin from any of the formulations and no isoniazide or rifampicin could be found in the skin by means of tape stripping after 12 h.

▼ 5-Fluorouracil (5FU) is a pyrimidine analogue, indicated for the therapy of proliferative skin diseases such as actinic keratosis (AK), superficial basal cell carcinoma and psoriasis. It has also been used for the treatment of solid tumours like colorectal, breast and liver carcinomas for nearly 40 years.
Although 5FU has always been administered parenterally and orally, metabolism is rapid and absorption is erratic. Several severe side-effects are also commonly associated with 5FU therapy, including myelosuppression, hand-foot syndrome and gastrointestinal effects. Seeing that 5FU is an important part of the treatment of several malignant and pre-malignant disorders, it would be advantageous to find a delivery route and delivery system that negate absorption and metabolic variation and decrease side-effects.
The transdermal route provides a promising alternative to the above-mentioned conventional delivery routes, solving most of the problems associated with parenteral and oral administration. That being said, the formidable barrier situated in the skin is not easily breached. The stratum corneum, the outermost skin layer, is mostly lipophilic in nature, preventing hydrophilic molecules such as 5FU from entering.
5FU-containing creams and lotions are currently commercially available, but absorption is still very limited. The transdermal absorption from these formulations has been compared to that obtained with the use of new transdermal delivery vehicles, with the newer formulations proving to be promising.
It was decided to entrap 5FU in a novel therapeutic system, in the form of the Pheroid™ system, to increase its transdermal penetration.
Pheroid™ vesicles are stable spherical structures in a unique, emulsion-like formulation, and fall in the submicron range. The main components of the Pheroid™ system are the ethyl esters of the essential fatty acids linoleic acid and linolenic acid, as well as the cys-form of oleic acid, and water. The formulation is saturated with nitrous oxide (N20).
Although Pheroid™ vesicles may resemble other lipid-based vehicles, such as liposomes and micro-emulsions, they are unique in the sense that they have inherent therapeutic qualities as well. The Pheroid™ formulation can be specifically manipulated to yield different types of vesicles, ensuring a fast transport rate, high entrapment efficiency, rapid delivery and stability of the delivery system for a specific drug.
In this study, 5FU was entrapped in the Pheroid™ formulation. Transdermal permeation studies were then performed to evaluate the influence of this delivery system on the transdermal flux of 5FU.
Vertical Franz diffusion cells were utilised to determine the transdermal penetration of 5FU. Only Caucasian female abdominal skin was used to minimise physiological variables. Diffusion studies were done over 12 hour periods, with the entire receptor phase being withdrawn at predetermined intervals. Samples were analysed using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), after which the cumulative…

▼ Non–melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) is the most common human malignancy and it is estimated
that over 1.3 million cases are diagnosed each year in the United States (Neville et al.,
2007:462). There are three main types of NMSC, which include basal–cell carcinoma (BCC),
squamous–cell carcinoma (SCC) and cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM). Exposure to
ultra–violet (UV) radiation plays a major role in the aetiology of these three skin cancer types
(Franceschi et al., 1996:24).
5–Fluorouracil is an antineoplastic pyrimidine analogue that functions as an anti–metabolite. It
interferes with DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), and to a lesser extent, with RNA (ribonucleic acid)
synthesis by blocking the methylation of deoxyuridylic acid into thymidylic acid. It is used in
topical preparations for the treatment of actinic keratosis (AK) and NMSC. The cure rate with
topical 5–fluorouracil is partly reflected by the degree of erythema, erosions, and eventual
crusting which develop at the sites of treatment. This reaction often attains the best clinical
response, but in turn, frustrates patients, which may lead to patient incompliance (McGillis &
Fein, 2004:175). Due to the hydrophilic nature of 5–fluorouracil, the transdermal permeation
through the lipophilic stratum corneum is very low and trivial (Singh et al., 2005:99).
Transdermal drug delivery is the delivery of a chemical substance across the skin to reach the
systemic circulation (Prausnitz et al., 2004:115). This unique drug transport mechanism
suggests many advantages that include safety, patient compliance, user–friendliness, efficiency
and non–invasiveness (Fang et al., 2004:241). The stratum corneum is a specialised structure
that forms part of several anatomically distinct layers of the skin. Seeing that it is the outermost
layer, it provides protection to the skin. It is known as the main barrier to percutaneous
absorption of compounds, as well as water loss, through the skin (Bouwstra et al., 2003:4).
This study focussed on the formulation of six different types of semisolid formulations,
containing 0.5% 5–fluorouracil. The formulations included: a cream, Pheroid cream, emulgel,
Pheroid emulgel, lotion and Pheroid lotion. Pheroid refers to a delivery system which
was incorporated in the formulations in an attempt to enhance the penetration of 5–fluorouracil
into the skin. This drug delivery system consists of unique and stable lipid–based submicronand

▼ Iontophoresis is one of the most widely studied active technique for enhancing
transdermal delivery of drugs. However, its ability to enhance the
delivery of highly lipophilic compounds is poor due to lack of any charge and poor water solubility of molecules. Propofol, a sedative and anesthetic drug was chosen as a one of the model lipophilic drug in this study. Initially, feasibility of
delivery of propofol phosphate, a water soluble prodrug of propofol, via
transdermal route using iontophoresis in combination with chemical permeation enhancers was investigated. Cathodal iontophoresis in combination with 0.1% sodium dodecyl sulphate synergistically enhanced the flux of propofol phosphate. The Pharmacokinetic studies were performed in rat model and the results suggest the plausibility of achieving therapeutically relevant levels of propofol when delivered via
transdermal route. However, the pharmacodynamics studies revealed that propofol phosphate would be required at ∼10X the dose of propofol likely due to hydrophilicity and poor distribution into the brain. Therefore, it is crucial to discover approaches that would enhance the
transdermal delivery of propofol in its parent form. The objective of using iontophoresis is to eventually utilize the feasibility of the technology to develop a programmable
transdermal drug
delivery system. Thus,
transdermal delivery of propofol was studied by complexing with sulfobutyl ether-β-cyclodextrin (Captisol® CAP), a β-cyclodextrin derivative carrying ionizable groups to render propofol amenable to iontophoresis. The passive permeation flux of propofol was enhanced by four fold due to complexation with CAP. Application of iontophoresis (0.5 mA/cm2) to CAP-propofol solution enhanced the transport of propofol by an additional four fold. Pharmacokinetic studies showed a significant enhancement in the bioavailability of propofol when
delivery in the form of complex by iontophoresis. Further, in vitro transport studies carried out using ibuprofen and testosterone demonstrated the potential of CAP as transport enhancer for lipophilic drugs. From the mechanistic studies, the enhancement in the transport of lipophilic drugs after complexation was found to be due to multiple mechanisms such as transport of intact complex, enhanced thermodynamic activity of drug at the interface and prolonged recovery of barrier disrupted due to iontophoresis.

▼ Iron is an integral part of hemoglobin and essential for the production of red blood cells. Iron deficiency and the resulting anemia are major nutritional deficiency disorders. The majority of patient populations suffering from iron deficiency anemia (IDA) are women of child bearing age and children of all ages. Iron deficiency is a complication of various other chronic conditions. Oral iron salts or colloidal parenteral iron formulations are treatment options for iron replenishment since several decades, but they are associated with severe side effects along with other patient noncompliance issues.
Transdermal delivery of iron could be a potential alternative to treat iron deficiency due to safety and offers more acceptability. Since conventional iron formulations are not suitable for
transdermal delivery, quest for an ideal iron compound resulted in identification of soluble Ferric Pyrophosphate (FPP), which was demonstrated to be very stable and safe for parenteral administration. Passive
delivery of FPP was not successful due to its high molecular weight (745 Da) and low lipid solubility.
Transdermal delivery of FPP using chemical permeation enhancers, iontophoresis, microneedle pretreatment and combination of these techniques were evaluated and proved to be successful in delivering iron across the skin. When iontophoresis was combined with microneedle pretreatment, adequate iron could be delivered in anemic rat models to reverse the iron deficiency. Further, a safe and patient friendly iron
delivery system was developed by incorporating FPP in soluble microneedles. In vitro and in vivo studies were carried out to evaluate the FPP release and dermal kinetic profile of the iron from the soluble microneedles. Safety and toxicity of FPP in human skin cell lines was also investigated. The feasibility of
transdermal delivery of Iron-dextran was also evaluated. Passive
delivery of iron dextran is impossible due to its high molecular weight. Microneedle assisted
delivery of iron dextran was investigated and soluble microneedle system with iron dextran was developed. Overall, the results of the project suggest that
transdermal delivery of iron could be a potential alternate to treat IDA. Iron replenishment via
transdermal route is likely to be more effective and safer than the conventional routes of administration.

▼ Transdermal drug delivery is an effective alternative to conventional oral and injectable drug delivery routes. It offers painless and convenient once daily or even once weekly dosing for a variety of clinical indications. The major limitation to successful transdermal drug delivery is the efficient barrier properties of the skin. Significant research efforts have been focused on developing strategies to overcome these barrier properties. These strategies include the use of physical and chemical penetration enhancers. Physical skin penetration enhancers use an external energy source to alter the barrier properties of the skin. The current research focuses on some of these physical skin penetration enhancers on a range of drug molecules and peptides.The first technology investigated was Dermaportation that utilised pulsed electromagnetic energy. This technology enhanced the epidermal permeation of naltrexone in vitro as compared to passive diffusion. A 5-fold increase in naltrexone permeation was observed during Dermaportation application when compared to passive administration. Multiphoton tomography-fluorescence life-time imaging microscopy (MPT-FLIM) analysis of the permeation of gold nanoparticles in the presence of Dermaportation revealed increased penetration across ex vivo human skin. These results demonstrated that the channels created by dermaportation must be larger than the 10 nm diameter of the applied nanoparticles.The second technology investigated was an unpowered magnetic film array technology (ETP), which utilised unpowered magnetic energy. Chapter 3 presents enhanced epidermal permeation of urea with ETP. A 4-fold increase in urea penetration was observed across human epidermis in the in vitro permeation study. Optical resonance tomography was used to visualise the changes in epidermal thickness due to urea permeation as an indication of increased hydration. The results revealed an increase in epidermal thickness at 30 min, to 16% for ETP induced urea permeation as compared to 3% with urea from occlusion. These results further substantiated our previous findings that magnetic energy creates hydrophilic diffusion channels or pores in the skin.The third technology investigated was low-frequency sonophoresis that utilises cavitation bubbles as a force to create channels for drug delivery in the skin. Chapter 4 presents enhanced human skin permeation of 5-aminolevuleninic acid in vitro and curcumin dye in vivo with low-frequency sonophoresis. Two different sources of ultrasound devices that generated low-frequency sonophoresis were investigated. MPT-FLIM analysis was utilised to investigate the effects of sonophoresis on human skin in vivo. This revealed that there was substantial disturbance in the epidermal cells due to cavitation by sonophoresis. Permeation of curcumin was found in the deeper layers of the epidermal membrane with 55 kHz sonophoresis and was confined to the more superficial layers of skin with 21 kHz sonophoresis. Permeation of 5-aminolevuleninic acid across human skin increased…
