Mathematical models of epidermal and dermal transport are essential for optimization and development of products for percutaneous delivery both for local and systemic indication and for evaluation of dermal exposure to chemicals for assessing their toxicity. These models often help directly by providing information on the rate of drug penetration through the skin and thus on the dermal or systemic concentration of drugs which is the base of their pharmacological effect. The simulations are also helpful in analyzing experimental data, reducing the number of experiments and translating the in vitro investigations to an in-vivo setting. In this study skin penetration of topically administered caffeine cream was investigated in a skin-on-a-chip microfluidic diffusion chamber at room temperature and at 32°C. Also the transdermal penetration of caffeine in healthy and diseased conditions was compared in mouse skins from intact, psoriatic and allergic animals. In the last experimental setup dexamethasone, indomethacin, piroxicam and diclofenac were examined as a cream formulation for absorption across the dermal barrier. All the measured data were used for making mathematical simulation in a three-compartmental model. The calculated and measured results showed a good match, which findings indicate that our mathematical model might be applied for prediction of drug delivery through the skin under different circumstances and for various drugs in the novel, miniaturized diffusion chamber.
表皮和真皮传输的数学模型对于优化和开发局部和全身指示的经皮传递产品以及评估化学物质对皮肤的暴露以评估其毒性至关重要。这些模型通常通过提供药物透过皮肤的渗透速率的信息,从而提供药物的皮肤或系统浓度的信息,从而直接帮助药物的药理作用。模拟也有助于分析实验数据,减少实验次数,并将体外研究转化为体内环境。在这项研究中,在室温下和 32°C 下,在皮肤芯片微流体扩散室中研究了局部给予的咖啡因乳膏的皮肤渗透。还比较了健康和患病条件下咖啡因在完整、银屑病和过敏动物的小鼠皮肤中的经皮渗透。在最后一个实验设置中,将地塞米松、吲哚美辛、吡罗昔康和双氯芬酸作为乳膏制剂用于经皮屏障的吸收进行了检查。所有测量数据均用于在三室模型中进行数学模拟。计算和测量结果表明,结果吻合良好,这表明我们的数学模型可用于预测不同情况下皮肤的药物输送以及新型小型化扩散室中的各种药物。
