Developing a method for the study of perfusion effects in topical product pharmacokinetics.

Eur J Pharm Sci

Article Synopsis
  • Topical drug products are used to treat skin diseases but their pharmacokinetics are hard to study in live environments due to skin's complex barrier and lack of assessment methods.
  • This study introduces a new method using stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy to analyze how blood flow (perfusion) affects the uptake of the drug tazarotene in mice.
  • Results showed that perfusion increased tazarotene absorption in lipid-rich areas of the skin, while in non-perfused (ex vivo) conditions, the drug uptake was significantly slower, highlighting the importance of blood flow in drug delivery.

Background: Cutaneous epidermal nevi are genotypically diverse mosaic disorders. Pathogenic hotspot variants in , , and less frequently and may cause isolated keratinocytic epidermal nevi and sebaceous nevi or several different syndromes when associated with extracutaneous anomalies. Therefore, some authors suggest the concept of mosaic RASopathies to group these different disorders.

Diseases vary among and within species but the causes of this variation can be unclear. Immune responses are an important driver of disease variation, but mechanisms on how the body resists pathogen establishment before activation of immune responses are understudied. Skin surfaces of mammals are the first line of defense against abiotic stressors and pathogens, and skin attributes such as pH, microbiomes, and lipids influence disease outcomes.
