Abstract:
The present work aimed to characterize transdermal drug delivery systems of pinacidil monohydrate in vivo by monitoring the effect of the TDDS on blood pressure of methyl prednisolone acetate induced hypertensive rats. The blood pressure of rats was measured using a noninvasive rat BP instrument based on cuff tail technique. A significant fall in rat BP (P<.01) was observed in treatment of hypertensive rats with all the formulations, which was maintained for 48 hours. Interformulation comparison revealed that formulation B-4 was the most effective with 37.96% reduction in BP (160.33±4.96 vs 99.44±4.46 mmHg). It was concluded that a single patch application of pinacidil TDDS (B-4) can effectively control hypertension in rats for 2 days. The system holds promise for clinical studies.

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,...
