Microdialysis perfusion in vivo has the potential to be a powerful sampling technique in dermal and transdermal drug delivery studies. Characterization of a commercially available microdialysis probe in vitro considering relevant physiological parameters is a vital first step in the evaluation of microdialysis as a dermal sampling technique. In previous microdialysis studies, analyte concentration and neutrality have been implicated in altering microdialysis recovery. The recovery of a model compound 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) was investigated at several pH values and donor concentrations. The relative recovery of 5-FU by the microdialysis probe was affected by pH but not by donor concentration. To confirm further that the changing concentration and pH profile presented by the flux of 5-FU was not significantly altering microdialysis recovery, an experiment comparing direct and microdialysis sampling of a Franz diffusion cell receptor compartment was performed. Although the 5-FU concentration (0-686 ng/ml) and pH (7.40-7.24) changed substantially, the recovery of 5-FU was not adversely affected. To demonstrate the feasibility of dermal microdialysis, the flux of a commercial preparation of 5-fluorouracil was monitored utilizing a microdialysis probe implanted in excised rat skin in vitro. The results from the dermally implanted probe demonstrate the potential of the technique while establishing the limitations of the current microdialysis system.
