Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Diclofenac is a hydrophilic non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug widely used in humans and animals. Previous reports have shown that this compound has low percutaneous absorption in horses. The effect of five penetration enhancers (10% urea, 15% and 20% oleic acid and 5% and 10% d-limonene) on the percutaneous absorption of diclofenac diethylamine through horse skin was evaluated in vitro using Franz-type diffusion cells. All tested penetration enhancers induced a significant increase in diclofenac diethylamine permeation, with limonene showing the highest enhancing effect at the lowest concentration (5%) applied. The presence of the permeation enhancers did not affect lag-time. This is the first in vitro study of the effects of penetration enhancers on transdermal permeation of diclofenac diethylamine across horse skin. The results suggested that urea, limonene and 5% oleic acid were useful for enhancing the transdermal absorption of diclofenac diethylamine and may assist in the development of a transdermal formulation of diclofenac diethylamine for use in horses.
