| Research Abstract |
Although skin acts as a barrier to the penetration of ions or peptide-like drugs, high conductance pathways do appear to exist across membranes. Flow along these paths can be greatly enhanced by imposing a potential across the skin (iontophoresis). Furthermore, if the actual paths of ionic transport through the skin are enlarged by something, iontophoretic transport can be more greatly enhanced. The objective in this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a new drug delivery system simultaneously using jet injection and iontophoresis. A jet injector was chosen to reduce transport barrier of skin.
At first, we checked the effect of jet injection on the drug permeation through the skin. After pretreatment of hairless rat skin by a jet injector containing physiological saline to make a pore in the skin, aqueous solution containing gentamycin sulfate and others was applied on the pore. Mathematical analysis showed that this larger pore greatly increased the skin delivery rate.^<1)>
At second, we checked the combined effects of jet injection and iontophoresis using sodium dichlofenac (DC-Na) and angiotensin II as model drugs. In the constant-current iontophoresis, the total amount of DC-Na permeated through the skin with jet injector was nearly equal to that without jet injector. No synergetic effect was observed in the constant-current iontophoresis with jet injector. When the jet injector was used, however, the resistance and potential difference across the skin were dramatically decreased as compared to that without jet injector. In the case of angiotensin II,the same phenomena was observed when using iontophoresis with jet injector. It is suggested from the results that the simultaneous use of iontophoresis with jet injector has no further penetration-enhancing effect under a constant-current, but an electric power-saving effect to transport a fixed amount of drug.
