Skin penetration and tissue permeation after topical administration of diclofenac

Abstract: After topical application, diclofenac can penetrate the skin and permeate to deeper tissues, where it reaches a concentration that appears to be sufficient to exert a therapeutic effect. More robust methods are required for in vivo characterization to better estimate the clinical efficacy of topically applied drugs.

“…Topical application of diclofenac did not lead to therapeutic plasma concentrations, but measurable levels were verified in all study participants. It might well be that topical application correlates with higher local concentration in the tissue at the site of application . A strength of our study is that not only diclofenac plasma levels were measured but also target engagement indicated by reduction of thromboxane B2 during blood coagulation (serum generation) was analysed.…”

“…This was an observational study, and the sample size was determined based on previous pharmacological studies using CEUS or functional MRI for monitoring of renal perfusion as well as pharmacological studies on topical diclofenac application . In the mentioned work by Getzin et al ., a power calculation was performed for different scenarios with small pharmacological effects on renal perfusion.…”
