Abstract
The mathematical model describing drug flux through microporated skin was previously developed. Based on this model, two mathematical equations can be used to predict the microporatio-enhanced transdermal drug flux: the complex primal equation containing a variety of experimentally-determined variables, and the simplified straightforward equation. In this study, experimental transdermal fluxes of three corticosteroids through split-thickness human skin treated with a microneedle roller were measured, and the values of fluxes compared with those predicted using both the more complex and simplified equations. According to the results of the study, both equations demonstrated high accuracy in the prediction of the fluxes of corticosteroids. The simplified equation was validated and confirmed as robust using regression analysis of literature data. Further, its capability and ease of use was exemplified by predicting the flux of methotrexate through the skin microporated with laser and comparing with published experimental data.
