OBJECTIVE To study the in vitro transdermal characteristics of Liuwei Dihuang gel and evaluate the safety of skin medication. METHODS The improved vertical Franz diffusion cell method was used for in vitro transdermal experimental and the skin of rat was used as the permeation barrier. The cumulative permeation amount and rate of morroniside, loganin, and paeonol in the receiving medium were determined by HPLC, to investigate the in vitro transdermal characteristics of Liuwei Dihuang gel. The skin irritation was observed after single or multiple application of Liuwei Dihuang gel on intact and damaged skin of guinea pig. RESULTS The cumulative permeation amount of morroniside, loganin and paeonol within 12 h were 246.56, 298.47 and 369.89 μg·cm-2, and the cumulative permeation rate were 19.67%, 21.55% and 39.18%, respectively. Liuwei Dihuang gel is not irritating to both intact and damaged skin of guinea pigs. CONCLUSION The in vitro transdermal performance of Liuwei Dihuang gel is good. The in vitro transdermal process conforms to the Higuchi kinetic equation. It has no irritation effect on the skin of guinea pigs. It is safe and reliable for skin external use and has good linical application potential.
