[Analysis Case] Evaluation of Transdermal Absorption of Indomethacin in Three-Dimensional Cultured Human Skin
Visualization of the distribution of active ingredients applied to cultured skin using TOF-SIMS.
TOF-SIMS identifies components from the mass of molecular ions, eliminating the need for labels such as fluorescent substances, allowing for imaging without their influence. Additionally, cross-sectional imaging enables the evaluation of distribution in the depth direction. In this study, a gel formulation of indomethacin was applied to three-dimensional cultured human skin, visualizing the distribution of the permeated active ingredient. As a result, it was found that indomethacin is concentrated on the surface side of the stratum corneum. Furthermore, depth profile analysis observed a gradual penetration towards the cell layers.
