Ocular Drug Distribution After Topical Administration: Population Pharmacokinetic Model in Rabbits

Abstract: Background and ObjectiveWhen eye diseases are treated by topical administration, the success of treatment lies in the effective drug concentration in the target tissue. This is why the drug’s pharmacokinetic, in the different substructures of the eye, needs to be explored more accurately during drug development. The aim of the present analysis was to describe by rabbit model, the distribution of a drug after ocular instillation in the selected eye tissues and fluids.MethodsBy a top-down population approach, we… Show more

“…Due to this fact, first-pass metabolism is minimized compared to peroral administration. This depends, of course, on the drugs used but becomes especially relevant when using drugs with low absorption rates as it can then result in systemic adverse effects 15,16. In addition, the volume of commercial drop dispensers often exceeds the capacity of drug absorption of the conjunctival sac, so that some of the liquid can drain out of the eye and onto the eyelids and cheeks 17.…”

“…80 to 90%) is drained into the naso-lacrimal duct. Naso-lacrimal drainage helps maintaining the volume of pre-corneal fluid about 7 to 10 μl at any time (19). A natural protective physiological mechanism causes loss of any excess fluid present; it's drained out through the naso-lacrimal duct.…”

“…However, for drugs administered through ocular route with a local therapeutic effect, cannot be sampled. A very few exceptions are made such as monitoring of drug levels in biopsies or aqueous humor collected from patients subjected to ophthalmic surgical procedures (19). Therefore, animal models are used to study the drugs distribution in ocular tissues.…”

“…After instillation, a big portion of an instilled volume (approximately from 80 to 90%) is drained into the nasolacrimal duct. Nasolacrimal drainage helps maintain the volume of precorneal fluid at about 7-10 μl at all times [46]. A natural protective physiological mechanism causes the loss of any excess fluid present: it is drained out through the nasolacrimal duct.…”
