摘要
The development of an effective transdermal drug delivery protocol to eccrine sweat glands is important for the advancement of research on the human sweating response. We investigated whether microneedle treatment prior to the application of pilocarpine, a hydrophilic and sudorific agent that does not induce sweating due to a limited percutaneous passive diffusion by skin application alone, augments sweat production. We applied three microneedle arrays to forearm skin sites simultaneously (n = 20). Upon removal of the microneedles, 1 % pilocarpine was applied to each site for 5-, 15-, and 30-min for the assessment of sweat gland function. In parallel, pilocarpine was administered by transdermal iontophoresis (5-min) at a separate site. Sweat rate was assessed continuously via the ventilated capsule technique. Pilocarpine augmented sweat rate at the 15- and 30-min periods as compared to the application at 5-min. The sweating responses induced by the 15- and 30-min application of pilocarpine were equivalent to ∼ 80 % of that measured at the iontophoretically treated sites. Notably, we observed a correlation in sweat rate between these two transdermal drug delivery methods. Altogether, our findings show that pre-treatment of microneedle arrays can enhance transdermal delivery efficiency of pilocarpine to human eccrine sweat glands.
