Effect of several penetration enhancers on transdermal absorption in vitro of syringin, chologenic acid and rutin in Xuelian cataplasm / 中国中药杂志

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the effects of different penetration enhancers on the transcutaneous permeability of syringin, chologenic acid and rutin in Xuelian cataplasm in vitro and to determine the effective enhancer.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>Using improved Franz-type diffusion cell and excised big mouse skin in vitro as transdermal barrier, the kinetics parameters of syringin, chologenic acid and rutin in Xuelian cataplasm such as cumulative permeation quantity, permeation rate were determined by HPLC. The enhancement ability of azone (A-zone), propylene glycol (PG) was investigated when used either uniquely or combinatively.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>With the 7% azone, the syringin, chologenic acid and rutin in Xuelian cataplasm could penetrate through the skin of rats well.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The selection of the best penetration enhancers provide reference for Xuelian cataplasm.</p>
