Abstract:The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of current on the delivery of acyclovir into and across the skin using hairless rat skin mounted on glass diffusion cells. Acyclovir was delivered under negative polarity from a formulation with a very basic pH. The effect of current intensity and duration of application on delivery of acyclovir was investigated. The amount in the skin was also determined by inserting a probe into the skin with a semipermeable membrane that allows sampling of the drug t… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
