Roberts MS, Zhang Q, Mackenzie L, Medley GA. Quantitative structure permeability relationships for phenolic compounds applied to human epidermal membranes in various solvents. Eur J Pharm Sci 2024:106914. [PMID: 39299466 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejps.2024.106914] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2024] [Revised: 09/13/2024] [Accepted: 09/14/2024] [Indexed: 09/22/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE This study examined how solvent-skin-solute interactions influenced the human epidermal permeation of three similar-sized phenolic compounds applied in a series of different solvents. METHODS Human epidermal permeation fluxes and lag times of three phenolic compounds were assessed in Franz cells for a range of solvents varying in molecular size and solubility parameters. In order to develop a mechanistic understanding of the determinants of the permeation findings, the solubility of the compounds in solvents and stratum corneum, the extent of solvent uptake by the stratum corneum and the impact of the solvents on skin hydration and transepidermal water loss were also measured. RESULTS Maximum epidermal fluxes and lag times varied greatly with the various solvent used. Markedly enhanced epidermal permeability fluxes, prolonged lag times and reduced diffusivities of the compounds were evident for many of the solvents. A solvent induced increase in stratum corneum solubility was associated with the uptake of solvent containing dissolved compound. This uptake was dependent on both the solvent molecular size and the solubility of the compounds in the solvents. The imbibed solvent acted as a reservoir in the skin, facilitating uptake and an increased thermodynamic activity that enhanced flux but, at the same time, inhibiting diffusion and prolonging lag time. CONCLUSION The solubility, permeation and lag times of compounds in the stratum corneum can be modulated by solvent uptake. Whilst a solvent -induced stratum corneum reservoir effect for a compound may prolong its lag time for a compound before steady state permeation is reached, it does not affect its overall steady state transport defined by diffusion of its free form.

Molecules 2019; 24:molecules24030523.

Abstract
The measurement of skin electrical resistance (SER) has drawn a great deal of attention for the rapid screening of transdermal penetration enhancers (PEs). However, the mechanisms underlying the SER measurement are still unclear. This study was to investigate the effects and mechanisms of seven oxygen-containing terpenes on the SER kinetics. Stratum corneum (SC) lipids were proved to play a key role in SER measurement. Then, the factors affecting the SER measurement were optimized. By the determination of SER kinetics, cyclic terpenes (1,8-cineole, terpinen-4-ol, menthol and α-terpineol) were demonstrated to possess higher enhancement ratio (ER) values compared with linear terpenes (linalool, geraniol and citral). For the first time, the linear correlation was found between ER of terpenes and the interaction energy of terpene⁻ceramide complexes revealed by molecular simulation. The attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) analysis revealed that the effect of cyclic terpenes on SC lipid arrangement was obviously stronger than that of linear terpenes. In addition, by evaluating HaCaT skin cell viability, little difference was found between the toxicities of cyclic and linear terpenes. In conclusion, measurement of SER could be a feasible approach for the efficient evaluation of the PEs that mainly act on SC lipids.

Abstract
Chronic oral administration of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, diclofenac diethylamine (DDEA), is often associated with gastrointestinal ulcers and bleeding. As an alternative to oral administration, a nanoemulsion-based gel (NE gel) formulation of DDEA was developed for topical administration. An optimized formulation for the o/w nanoemulsion of oil, surfactant and cosurfactant was selected based on nanoemulsion mean droplet size, clarity, stability, and flowability, and incorporated into the gelling agent Carbopol® 971P. Rheological studies of the DDEA NE gel were conducted and compared to those of conventional DDEA gel and emulgel. The three gels exhibited an elastic behavior, where G' dominated G″ at all frequencies, indicating the formation of strong gels. NE gel exhibited higher G' values than conventional gel and emulgel, which indicated the formation of a stronger gel network. Strat-M® membrane, a synthetic membrane with diffusion characteristics that are well correlated to human skin, was used for the in vitro diffusion studies. The release of DDEA from conventional gel, emulgel and NE gel showed a controlled release pattern over 12 h, which was consistent with the rheological properties of the gels. DDEA release kinetics from the three gels followed super case II transport as fitted by Korsmeyer-Peppas model.

Abstract
Transdermal drug delivery systems are a constant source of interest because of the benefits that they afford in overcoming many drawbacks associated with other modes of drug delivery (i.e. oral, intravenous). Because of the impermeable nature of the skin, designing a suitable drug delivery vehicle that penetrates the skin barrier is challenging. Gels are semisolid formulations, which have an external solvent phase, may be hydrophobic or hydrophilic in nature, and are immobilized within the spaces of a three-dimensional network structure. Gels have a broad range of applications in food, cosmetics, biotechnology, pharmatechnology, etc. Typically, gels can be distinguished according to the nature of the liquid phase, for example, organogels (oleogels) contain an organic solvent, and hydrogels contain water. Recent studies have reported other types of gels for dermal drug application, such as proniosomal gels, emulgels, bigels and aerogels. This review aims to introduce the latest trends in transdermal drug delivery via traditional hydrogels and organogels and to provide insight into the latest gel types (proniosomal gels, emulgels, bigels and aerogels) as well as recent technologies for topical and transdermal drug delivery.
