BACKGROUND: The scientific substantiation for the selection of therapeutically significant dosage of phytocomplex in the dosage form for phonophoresis, control over the delivery of active substances into the body, and what affects this process require the study of the kinetics of phytocomplex flavonoids delivery during phonophoresis. AIM: The aim was to study the possibilities of controlling the process of transdermal delivery of phytocomplex active substances (flavonoids) during phonophoresis in vitro model experiments. METHODS: Working compositions with different concentrations of phytocomplex for phonophoresis were used. The content of flavonoids in the compositions was determined using the spectrophotometric method and was calculated equivalent to quercetin, the flavonoid prevailing in the phytocomplex. The study of the kinetics of flavonoids delivery from working compositions was carried out using Franz diffusion cells and Carbosyl-P membranes. The authors determined the main parameters of the process and established the dependence of the delivery rate of flavonoids on their initial concentration in the working composition. The authors studied the effect of dimethyl sulfoxide and the base-forming substances of the working composition on the kinetics of phytocomplex flavonoid delivery during phonophoresis. RESULTS: The authors recorded an increase in the rate of delivery of the active substances from working compositions containing dimethyl sulfoxide into the model medium by almost 1.5-2 times during the first ten minutes of the experiment (approximate duration of the phonophoresis procedure). The authors proposed technological techniques for improvement of the phonophoresis method for the phytocomplex. The possibilities of control over the process of transdermal delivery of the phytocomplex active ingredients during phonophoresis in vitro model experiments were shown. CONCLUSION: The obtained results provide information for further pharmacological studies of the nature and mechanism of the effect of phytocomplex flavonoids during phonophoresis in the rehabilitation of patients with osteoarthrosis.

Abstract Drugs that cross the placenta sparingly are currently given directly to the fetus by invasive procedures. We investigated whether anionic small unilamellar (SUV) liposomes of different lipid compositions enhanced the transfer and uptake of T4 in an in vitro model of perfused human term placenta. T4-encapsulated anionic liposomes were prepared using lecithin (F-SUV) or distearoyl phosphatidylcholine (S-SUV) with cholesterol and dicetylcholine. The size distribution, encapsulation efficiency, and stability were determined in blood-based media. The transfer kinetics of free and liposomally encapsulated T4 were studied in a dually perfused isolated lobule of human term placenta, with creatinine and liposomal carboxyfluorescein as marker substances. Concentrations of T4 and rT3 were measured by RIA. T4 crossed the placenta sparingly (1.9 ± 0.5%) because it was metabolized to rT3 (9.2 ± 1.3%). Transplacental transfer of T4 was significantly increased by F-SUV (15.8 ± 2.1%; P < 0.001) and S-SUV liposomes (7.1 ± 1.2%; P < 0.001), with a concomitant decrease in fetal rT3 levels (P < 0.001). Placental uptake of F-SUV (13.5 ± 2.0%; P < 0.001) was greater than that of S-SUV liposomes (6.7 ± 0.8%; P < 0.001). Our data suggest that anionic liposomes increase transplacental transfer of T4. If confirmed in vivo, liposomes may provide an alternative noninvasive method of drug delivery to the fetus.

Cephalosporins are used with increasing frequency for sepsis treatment in patients receiving CAVU and CAVH. The different cephalosporins share the same basic molecular structure, yet they exhibit varied extent of plasma protein binding. Different amounts of the antibiotics may be removed by the ultrafiltration procedure because of these variations of physicochemical properties. We evaluated the sieving of eight new cephalosporins across the hemofilter membrane using an in vitro model. Bovine blood was perfused through polysulfone membranes at blood and ultrafiltrate flow rates of 100 and 20 ml/min respectively. Arterial plasma, venous plasma and ultrafiltrate drug concentrations were used to determine sieving coefficients. The sieving coefficients correlated well with the ultrafiltrate-arterial plasma drug concentration ratio (r= 0.679 - 0.972) but poorly with the extent of protein binding. Factors other than protein binding may therefore affect the drug sieving. Based on the findings, it was predicted that 0.2 - 21.9% of the daily cephalosporin dose may be removed by the CAVU and CAVH treatment. The need to alter drug dosages depends on the techniques of the ultrafiltration and hemofiltration procedure, the kinetics of the cephalosporins in patients, the sensitivity of the pathogen and the nature of the infection.
