Abstract:
The glucoside and mannoside derivatives of the NSAIDs flurbiprofen, ibuprofen, ketoprofen and naproxen were synthesised and their penetration through human skin was determined. Experimental transdermal flux data showed that the parent NSAIDs penetrated human skin to a much higher extent than the glycosides.

Routes of Drug Administration: Enteral
Enteral administration involves drug administration via the mouth in two ways: orally or sublingually.
Unlike sublingually drugs, drugs that are taken orally pass through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and get metabolized by the liver. Once metabolized, the drug is absorbed into the systemic circulation, reaching different body parts via the bloodstream. However, while passing through the stomach,...
