sodium-dodecyl-sulfate and tauroglycocholic-acid

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of permeation enhancers on the transbuccal delivery of 5-fluorouracil (FU). The effect of permeation enhancers on in vitro buccal permeability was assessed using sodium deoxycholate (SDC), sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), sodium tauroglycocholate (STGC), and oleic acid and their concentrations for absorption enhancement were optimized. STGC appeared to be most effective for enhancing the buccal permeation of FU than the other enhancers. These enhancements by STGC were statistically significant (p < 0.05) compared to control. The order of permeation enhancement was STGC > SDS > SDC > oleic acid. Histological investigations were performed on buccal mucosa and indicated no major morphological changes. The enhancing effect of STGC on the buccal absorption of FU was evaluated from the mucoadhesive gels in rabbits. The absolute bioavailability of FU from mucoadhesive gels containing STGC increased 1.6-fold as compared to the gels containing no permeation enhancer. The mean residence time and mean absorption time considerably increased following administration of gel containing penetration enhancer compared with the gel without penetration enhancer.
