Q

The Stratum Corneum also undergoes a phenomenon known as “Desquamation”. Describe this process.

A

-Cells from top outermost layer of skin are removed.

-This process enables skin to continuously create uniform “brick & mortar” structures. Also creates a barrier that enables the skin to rehydrate & resist assault from pathogens.

Q

Describe the process of Fick’s Law as it pertains to passive drug diffusion through the skin.

A

-Drug API in Vehicle encounters Stratum Corneum… Drug accumulates at the interface (C1), causing concentrations at the interface to increase.

-Then, Sink Effect (C2) occurs… Drug concentration drops drastically at the interface, as it desires to diffuse across the Stratum Corneum into the Receptor Compartment.

125
Q

True or false diffusion past the corneum is a constant value.

A

False- tis always changing

126
Q

If we increase SA how does rate change (Fick’s law)

A

increases

127
Q

If skin gets thicker how does fick’s law change?

A

decreases

128
Q

What does a large partition coefficient tell us?

A

PENETRATE ME MORE- Adam to Carter
more effective

129

barrier
exfolients

130

137
Q

If we add a fluorine onto C9 of CS what happens?

A

more antiinflamm

138
Q

If we add substituents onto C17 or C21 on CS what happens?

A

more lipophilic= more penetrate

139
Q

If we add a alpha-alkoxyarbonyl on C16 of CS what happens?

A

Lower systemic s/e

140
