Abstract
Polymeric drug delivery systems can improve patient compliance, decrease toxicity and prolong therapeutic effects for a wide range of therapeutic treatments, by controlling drug release. Polymer delivery system development can be facilitated by mathematical models. We present here a new compartmental model that will be more familiar to pharmaceutical professionals and equally as effective as common diffusion equation-based models. The compartmental model considers both polymer degradation and drug diffusion to predict drug release. The model is adapted into three different geometries for different polymer delivery scenarios: membranes, fibres and particles. Model parameters are derived in terms of diffusion coefficients. Polymer-drug binding interactions and distributions of fibre/particle diameters are incorporated to the model. The model is validated by comparison to common diffusion equation-based solutions and fitting to experimental data. It is shown how the model for drug release can be incorporated into existing distribution models to predict plasma concentrations of an in vivo administration. A user-friendly Python implementation of the model is available on Github, at https://github.com/spirt-t/compartments_model.

Abstract
Nanofibers have many promising biomedical applications. They can be used for designing transdermal and dermal drug delivery systems. This project aimed to prepare and characterize polyvinylpyrrolidone-based nanofibers as a dermal and transdermal drug delivery system using pioglitazone. Pioglitazone is an oral antidiabetic drug. In addition, it can act as an inflammatory process modulator, making it a good candidate for managing different skin inflammatory conditions such as atopic dermatitis, skin ulcers, and diabetic foot wound healing. Several nanofiber formulations were prepared using the electrospinning method at different drug loadings, polyvinylpyrrolidone concentrations, and flow rates. A cast film with the exact composition of selected nanofiber formulations was prepared as a control. Nanofibers were characterized using a scanning electron microscope to calculate the diameter. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, and powder X-ray diffraction were performed for physical and biochemical characterizations. In vitro release, drug loading efficiency, and swelling studies were performed. Ex vivo permeation studies were performed using Franz diffusion cells with or without applying a solid microneedle roller. Round uniform nanofibers with a smooth surface were obtained. The diameter of nanofibers was affected by the drug loading and polymer concentration. Fourier-transform infrared spectra showed a potential physical interaction between the drug and the polymer. According to X-ray diffraction, pioglitazone existed in an amorphous form in prepared nanofibers, with partial crystallinity in the casted film. Nanofibers showed a higher swelling rate compared to the casted film. The drug dissolution rate for nanofibers was 2.3-folds higher than the casted films. The polymer concentration affected the drug dissolution rate for nanofibers; however, drug loading and flow rate did not affect the drug dissolution rate for nanofibers. The application of solid microneedles slightly enhances the total amount of drug permeation. However, it did not affect the flux of the drug through the separated epidermis layer for pioglitazone. The drug permeation flux in nanofibers was approximately five times higher than the flux of the casted film. It was observed that pioglitazone is highly retained in skin layers. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
Skin permeation is an essential biological property of small organic compounds our body is exposed to, such as drugs in topic formulations, cosmetics, and environmental toxins. Despite the limited availability of experimental data, there is a lack of systematic analysis and structure. We present a novel resource on skin permeation data that collects all measurements available in the literature and systematically structures experimental conditions. Besides the skin permeation value kp, it includes experimental protocols such as skin source site, skin layer used, preparation technique, storage conditions, as well as test conditions such as temperature, pH as well as the type of donor and acceptor solution. It is important to include these parameters in the assessment of the skin permeation data. In addition, we provide an analysis of physicochemical properties and chemical space coverage, laying the basis for applicability domain determination of insights drawn from the collected data points. The database is freely accessible under https://huskindb.drug-design.de or https://doi.org/10.7303/syn21998881 .

Abstract
The balance of efficacy and safety of topical corticosteroids (TCs) depends on their ability to penetrate into and be retained within the skin. Here, we evaluated the ability of SPACE™ peptide to enhance epidermal delivery and localization of three model TCs. In vitro and in vivo skin penetration studies were performed to evaluate penetration of TCs into and across the skin in the presence of various formulations of SPACE™ peptide. Topical formulations of corticosterone containing free SPACE™ peptide produced significantly enhanced epidermal penetration and localization. Ratio of drug deposition in the skin and receiver (efficacy/safety, indicative of ratio of local to systemic uptake) exhibited higher values for SPACE™ peptide-based formulation as compared to aqueous and hydroethanolic solutions and Cortizone™ cream. Mass spectrometry analysis showed that SPACE™ peptide associates with corticosterone, which may explain its enhanced retention effect. SPACE™ peptide also enhanced dermal retention of two more TCs (hydrocortisone and triamcinolone acetonide) compared to the vehicle control. An in vivo study in mice further established the ability of SPACE™ peptide to enhance skin retention of hydrocortisone without producing elevated blood concentrations. These results show that SPACE™ peptide is an effective additive to the formulation for enhanced skin localization of topical steroids.

Abstract
Dermal absorption is a critical part in the risk assessment of complex mixtures such as agrochemical formulations. To reduce the number of in vivo or in vitro absorption experiments, the present study aimed to develop an in silico prediction model that considers mixture-related effects. Therefore, an experimental 'real-world' dataset derived from regulatory in vitro studies with human and rat skin was processed. Overall, 56 test substances applied in more than 150 mixtures were used. Descriptors for the substances as well as the mixtures were generated and used for multiple linear regression analysis. Considering the heterogeneity of the underlying data set, the final model provides a good fit (r² = 0.75) and is able to estimate the influence of a newly composed formulation on dermal absorption of a well-known substance (predictivity Q²Ext = 0.73). Application of this model would reduce animal and non-animal testings when used for the optimization of formulations in early developmental stages, or would simplify the registration process, if accepted for read-across.

Abstract
Due to the increased demand for reliable data regarding penetration into and permeation across human skin, assessment of the absorption of xenobiotics has been gaining in importance steadily. In vitro experiments allow for determining these data faster and more easily than in vivo experiments. However, the experiments described in literature and the subsequent evaluation procedures differ considerably. Here we will give an overview on typical finite and infinite dose experiments performed in fundamental research and on the evaluation of the data. We will point out possible difficulties that may arise and give a short overview on attempts at predicting skin absorption in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
To use a diffusion model for predicting skin absorption requires accurate estimates of input parameters on model geometry, affinity and transport characteristics. This review summarizes methods to obtain input parameters for diffusion models of skin absorption focusing on partition and diffusion coefficients. These include experimental methods, extrapolation approaches, and correlations that relate partition and diffusion coefficients to tabulated physico-chemical solute properties. Exhaustive databases on lipid-water and corneocyte protein-water partition coefficients are presented and analyzed to provide improved approximations to estimate lipid-water and corneocyte protein-water partition coefficients. The most commonly used estimates of lipid and corneocyte diffusion coefficients are also reviewed. In order to improve modeling of skin absorption in the future diffusion models should include the vertical stratum corneum heterogeneity, slow equilibration processes, the absorption from complex non-aqueous formulations, and an improved representation of dermal absorption processes. This will require input parameters for which no suitable estimates are yet available.

Abstract
High keratin binding and slow desorption kinetics are assumed to be responsible for the formation of the stratum corneum (SC) reservoir. We measured equilibrium binding coefficients (K(b)) and desorption rate constants (k(off)) with bovine hoof/horn keratin and six solutes with similar molecular weight (180-288 Da) and varying lipophilicities [expressed as octanol-water distribution coefficient, i.e., a partition coefficient corrected for pH (log K(pH))-0.13 to 3.8]. Two ionizable solutes within this set were tested at different pH values as degree of ionization and lipophilicity were expected to influence equilibrium binding and desorption kinetics. The unbound fraction at equilibrium varied between 18% and 93%. All solutes exhibited linear binding isotherms within the investigated concentration range. Equilibrium binding and the rate of desorption are both functions of solute lipophilicity [log K(b) = 1.23 + 0.32 log K(pH); log k(off) = 1/(25.75 + 8.35 K(pH) (0.34))]. Our results prove that slow desorption from keratin may be a major contributor to the SC reservoir. Also, they prove that reservoir formation is relevant for lipophilic solutes independent of drug class, thus allowing new options for topical pharmacotherapy.

Abstract
Topical application of NSAIDs is an alternative route to systemic administration when a local anti-inflammatory effect of the underlying tissue is a treatment option. The aim of the present microdialysis study was to assess and compare plasma and tissue levels of diclofenac when topically applied with or without iontophoresis in healthy adults. Fourteen healthy adults (26±9.4 years) were randomized to diclofenac applied by iontophoresis, or by a gel, in a crossover design. Diclofenac concentrations were measured in plasma and in microdialysis perfusates from the underlying tissues. Iontophoretic application resulted in the highest plasma concentration of 3.4±0.5 ng/ml (SEM given) compared to 0.4 ng/ml (at the detection limit) with gel, whereas no differences were observed between tissue concentrations for the two application methods, both being very low, below or around the detection limit. Iontophoresis caused skin reactions in 25% of the participants. Iontophoresis of diclofenac as compared to traditional topical application was not superior in order to increase the NSAID concentration locally and appears to have a higher frequency of skin reactions.
