Abstract
AbstractIn order to evaluate a bunitrolol (β-blocker preparation using poly(vinyl alchol) (PVA) hydrogel for hypertension as a transdermal delivery system, in vitro release characteristics and the permeation of bunitrolol through rat sking from hydrogel and the bunitrolol plasma profile after application onto abdominal skin in rats were examined. The PVA hydrogel containing bunitrolol-HCl was prepared by a low temperature crystallization method. The release of bunitrolol from PVA hydrogel followed with Ficklan diffusion (Higuchi model); the drug relaase, profile versus square root of relase. The release rate and premeation through rat skins of bunitrolol from hydrogels affected with preparation at various physical and chemical states. Longer freezing times, higher polymerization and higher concentration of PVA resulted in lower permeation. These results had relations with the results of release tests. Higher pH of preparation resulted in a higher permeation of bunitrolol, which did not have a relaion with...
