Goals and Objectives
Understand the pharmacokinetics of
transdermal delivery
 Advantages/disadvantages of transdermal
route
 Medications used for some different
situations

Metabolism
Cytochromes
Parenteral Routes

Intradermal



Subcutaneous



<2ml volumes
Much more rapid absorption than ID
Intramuscular




Small volumes  0.1ml
Absorption is slow  slow onset of action
2 – 5ml volumes
More rapid absorption than by SC
Can formulate a delayed response
Intravenous


Sterile Dosage Forms: S.
Turco, R. King
Small to large volumes
No absorption of drug  directly in vein
Pharmacokinetics for Absorption
IV route  immediate & total access to
active drug molecules
 IM, SC, ID  require an absorption step

 The
vascularity of the IM route is greater than
the SC route   absorption
Sterile Dosage Forms:
S. Turco, R. King

SC injections  active drug absorbed by
diffusion of drug into the capillary network
 The
greater the blood flow in the capillary
network the greater the absorption of the drug


Epinephrine  vasoconstriction   drug absorption
Heat  blood flow   drug absorption
Stratum Corneum (horny layer)
Compared to “bricks & mortar”
 10-15 layers of flattened cornified cells
constitute the bricks
 Lipid-rich intercellular matrix constitutes the
mortar



form an effective barrier to transdermal water loss &
external chemical access
If a drug is to pass through the skin & into general
circulation, it must 1st traverse this barrier
Factors for Drug Absorption
Transcutaneous flow of compounds across
the stratum corneum is directly
proportional to the concentration gradient
& therefore can be attributed to passive
diffusion
 As surface area  & thickness of epidermis
, the rate of transdermal flux 
 The underlying epidermal layers & the
dermis area are an aqueous environment

Factors for Drug Absorption
Highly hydrophilic drugs will absorb poorly
through the stratum corneum but better in
the aqueous layers of the epidermis
 Highly lipophilic drugs will absorb better
through the stratum corneum but slowed
when they reach the aqueous layers of
epidermis

Finding a Suitable Carrier

For compounds used exclusively for the
treatment of a skin condition, passive
diffusion into the superficial epidermis may
be sufficient
 Using
a vehicle such as Glaxal Base or
Vaseline

For a drug to be delivered to the general
circulation, the drug/vehicle must maintain
affinity for both aqueous and lipid
environments to absorb effectively
Site Permeability
 Generalized
rank order of site
permeabilities:
 genitals
> head/neck > trunk > arm > leg
 Preterm infant > term infant > young adult
> elderly Klein & collegues,. Transdermal Clonidine Therapy in Elderly
Mild Hypertensives; Hypertension Suppl 1985:3;581-584
Vehicles Used1

PLO – Pluronic Lecithin Organobase









Pluronic  hydrophilic phase
Lecithin Isopropyl Palmitate  lipophilic phase
Mixing Pluronic Gel & Lecithin Isopropyl Palmitate under
pressure (with the drug) will form an amphiphilic phase
containing drug micelles
Gold standard available most Rx
Provides good penetration into skin
Works well with a variety of lipophilic/hydrophilic
agents
Need to rub in well???
“Greasy” base
The 2 phases can separate under cold conditions
Electronic and Electro Mortar & Pestles
The electronic
mortar & pestle
provide
pharmacists
with the
modern way to
compound
creams,gels,
ointments and
suspensions.
Ointment Mill
The ointment mill mixes powders, crystals and
creams into a smooth, finished product
Bases To Be Used1

Lipoderm
 Creamier
base than PLO
 Cosmetically
more elegant
 Less
sticky
 Less smell
 Not
as temperature sensitive as PLO
 Cold
 Less
temperatures PLO may separate
chance of rash vs PLO
 Only compounding pharmacies can make
Bases To Be Used1

Penetration rates:
 Pentravan,VanPen,
PLO  5-20mm
 PCCA Gel 2058  1-3mm (Intradermal)
 PCCA Gel 4038  10-20mm
 PCCA Gel 6633  +30mm
 Speed Gel  up to 50mm
Sports Medicine

Iontophoresis
 Enhance
absorption of ions by the use of an
electrical current
 Anti-inflammatory’s, dexamethasone,
lidocaine

Phonophoresis
ultrasound to  transcutaneous drug
absorption
 NSAID’s, dexamethasone
 Uses
Reasons for Topical Route
Oral route not desirable
Mucositis
Inability to swallow
Nausea/vomiting
Obstruction
Poor taste of product
Dry mouth
Can produce a more localized action
Also can be used for systemic use
GH
Topical Route: Advantages
Avoids the GI tract and hepatic first-pass
metabolism
Reduces systemic side effects
Improves compliance
Allows ↑ concentration of Rx at site of
application
Plasma concentrations of <10% compared
to oral route
Heir, Gary DMD, et al. IJPC 2004; 8:337-343
Topical Route: Drawbacks
Variations in the stratum corneum barrier
Delivery dosing may require adjustment
 Rate of absorption may vary

Rash most common SE
May be incumbent when using larger areas

NMDA and AMPA Receptors
Na+ influx exacerbates the Ca++ influx in absence of Mg++
This results in “wind up” pain, LTP and Allodynia
Drugs That Effect Ion Channels

NMDA-Ca++ channel blockers:
 Ketamine,
orphenadrine, amantadine,DM,
magnesium, haloperidol, nylidrin, methadone

AMPA-Na+ channel blockers:
 Anticonvulsants
 Gabapentin,
carbamazepine
 Antiarrythmics:
 Lidocaine,
mexilitine
Ketamine

Widely used as an anesthetic agent

Given IV, IM, PO, PR, intranasally or spinally
(Chia et al., 1998;
Gehling and Tryba, 1998; Malinovsky et al., 1996; Mercandante et al., 2000; Walker et al., 2002)

Safety and efficacy of ketamine and analgesic well
documented (Malinovsky et al., 1996; Reich & Silvay. 1989; White et al., 1982)

Tx in neuropathic pain


Phantom limb pain (Knox et al., 1995)
Post-operative pain and other post-traumatic pain
