The effect of iontophoresis and vehicle pH on the in-vitro permeation of lignocaine through human stratum corneum. 1985

O Siddiqui, and M S Roberts, and A E Polack

The effect of iontophoresis and the pH of aqueous vehicles on the rate and extent of permeation of lignocaine through excised human stratum corneum was investigated. In the absence of iontophoresis, the rate of penetration was greatest at the higher pH values where lignocaine exists mainly in the unionized form; iontophoresis was most effective at the lower pH values where lignocaine is mainly ionized. At pH 3.4, and 5.2, the flux increased during iontophoresis, by approximately 8.5 and 4 times, respectively, relative to that occurring without iontophoresis. The present results suggest that some weak electrolytes which show poor percutaneous penetration may be administered topically using iontophoresis provided the drug is kept in a highly ionized form.

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
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008012 Lidocaine A local anesthetic and cardiac depressant used as an antiarrhythmia agent. Its actions are more intense and its effects more prolonged than those of PROCAINE but its duration of action is shorter than that of BUPIVACAINE or PRILOCAINE.
