The shortened analogue of growth hormone releasing factor (GRF) Ro 23-7861 (1) has a molecular weight of 3929 daltons [equivalent to GRF (1-29)] and is more potent than the endogenous GRF (1-44). The in vitro hairless guinea pig model and vertical and horizontal diffusion cell assemblies were used to study the effect of iontophoresis on the permeability to skin of 1. The transport of 1 across the skin was studied by monitoring the rate of its appearance in the receiver compartment with a radioimmunoassay. No permeability of 1 was observed without iontophoresis, whereas with iontophoresis, the permeability of 1 was significant. For example, at a current density of 0.23 mA/cm2 and buffer concentration of 0.05 M, the flux of 1 was 56.8 +/- 8.21 ng/cm2.h. The flux of 1 was independent of the design of the permeation apparatus, the electrodes, the donor and receiver volumes, the type of current (constant or pulsed), and the frequency of the pulsed current. The flux of 1 increased curvilinearly with the increase in salt concentration of the buffer and linearly with the increase in current.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007478 Iontophoresis Therapeutic introduction of ions of soluble salts into tissues by means of electric current. In medical literature it is commonly used to indicate the process of increasing the penetration of drugs into surface tissues by the application of electric current. It has nothing to do with ION EXCHANGE; AIR IONIZATION nor PHONOPHORESIS, none of which requires current. Iontophoreses

D013007 Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone A peptide of 44 amino acids in most species that stimulates the release and synthesis of GROWTH HORMONE. GHRF (or GRF) is synthesized by neurons in the ARCUATE NUCLEUS of the HYPOTHALAMUS. After being released into the pituitary portal circulation, GHRF stimulates GH release by the SOMATOTROPHS in the PITUITARY GLAND.
