Objective:
To conduct an experimental study on in vitro transdermal absorption of prepared Shangshi Zhitong cataplasm.
Method:
Franz diffusing cells and mice were adopted for the percutaneous penetration study. The accumulative percutaneous permeation of total alkaloids, strychnine and atropine in certain time was determined by acid dye colorimetry and HPLC.
Result:
The accumulative permeation of alkaloids (Q) increased with time (t), with a linear relation between them.
Conclusion:
The in vitro percutaneous penetration of Shangshi Zhitong cataplasm complies with the zero-order kinetics.

Methods for Studying Drug Absorption: In vitro
The diffusion cell method uses a two-compartment cell, including a donor compartment with the drug solution, which simulates the environment where the drug is applied, and a receptor compartment with a buffer solution, which simulates the environment...
Methods for Studying Drug Absorption: In situ
The Doluisio method involves perfusing a prepared segment of a rat's small intestine with a solution of radiolabeled drug and a non-absorbable marker. This helps to differentiate between absorbed and non-absorbed drug concentrations. The intestinal segment is connected at both ends using tubing and syringes,...
