چکیده

Matrix formulations of Eudragit E 100: NE 40D polymers (100:0, 70:30, 60:40, 50:50% w/w) with 20% w/w of triacetine and 5% w/w of atenolol were prepared by film casting method with different solvents (methanol, 2-propanol and acetone). In vitro release of atenolol from the films were studied by vertical Franz diffusion cells in HEPES buffer (pH 7.4) for 78 h. Direct currents of 0.1 and 0.5 mA/cm2 were applied for 6 h to the formulations with Ag/AgCl electrodes. Also, transdermal application for the Eudragit E 100: NE 40 D (70:30% w/w) formulation was compared by iontophoresis or oleic acid (2.5% w/v) with control group on Wistar rats. As a result, the in vitro release rate of atenolol from films were increased with iontophoresis by increasing the current density (from 0.240 to 0.424 mg/cm2 for 70:3% w/w formulation) and also increased with the amount of Eudragit NE 40D (from 0.646 to 1.30 mg/cm2 at the end of 78 h). It is obtained from the in vivo studies that oleic acid provided a higher plasma and skin concentration (0.825 mg/mL and 12.5 mg/cm2, respectively) than iontophoresis treatment (0.399 mg/mL and 1.81 mg/cm2, respectively) due to the different mechanisms. However, the results showed that iontophoresis is a good alternative for enhancing the transdermal delivery of atenolol.

An In-Vitro Iontophoretic Permeation Study of Nicotine through Rat Skin

Nicotine transdermal systems are being used as an aid to smoking cessation programs. As the kinetics of nicotine delivery is important in success of a smoking cessation program, rapid and high input of nicotine is required, which is not possible by passive methods and requires enhancement strategies such as iontophoresis. Iontophoretic permeation, of nicotine looks promising, based on published...
