    Notes: Abstract The effects of the application of skin irritants on the in vitro percutaneous absorption of three model compounds of diverse physico-chemical properties, caffeine, indomethacin, and hydrocortisone, were investigated. Norephedrine and imipramine, basic drugs with a known skin irritation potential, were employed to damage the skin. Treatment with norephedrine increased the permeation of caffeine and hydrocortisone by two- to fourfold, while absorption of indomethacin declined an order of magnitude. A similar result was obtained for the effect of treatment with imipramine on transport of caffeine. Pretreatment with imipramine promoted hydrocortisone absorption 10-fold but, unlike norephedrine, did not alter indomethacin permeation. While both treatments in vivo caused an increase (norephedrine 〉 imipramine) in the pH on the surface of skin and after tape-stripping the skin, only norephedrine caused changes in transepidermal water loss in vivo in man. Since imipramine was the more severe irritant as judged by erythema, alterations by irritants of barrier function appeared rather complex.

    Notes: Abstract Percutaneous absorption of hydrocortisone was measured in six healthy adult men from whom informed consent had been obtained. The study compared a single topical dose to multiple-topical dose treatments (one vs three applications) on the same day. 14C-Labeled hydrocortisone in acetone was applied to 2.5 cm2 of ventral forearm skin and protected with a nonocclusive polypropylene chamber. The amount of 14C measured in urine collected over 7 days was used to determine hydrocortisone absorption. The treatments, performed 2 to 3 weeks apart, each utilized adjacent sites on the same individuals. A single dose of 13.33 µg/cm2 delivered 0.056 µg/cm2 of hydro-cortisone through the skin. When the single dose was tripled to 40 µg/cm2, the amount delivered through the skin increased by nearly three times, from 0.056 to 0.140 µg/cm2; the expected delivery was 3 x 0.056 µg/cm2 = 0.168 µg/cm2. Three serial doses of 13.33 µg/ cm2 (total, 40 µg/cm2) were also expected to deliver 0.168 µg/cm2 with or without soap and water washing between doses, but the observed amount of hydrocortisone delivered through the skin significantly exceeded our expectations. This indicates that multiple-dosing treatments resulted in a significant increase in bioavailability. It is postulated that increased vehicle application and washing dissolved and mobilized previously dosed hydrocortisone and increased bioavailability.
