Purpose: We have previously reported that the Australian Northern Kaanju (Kuuku I’yu) medicinal plant Dodonaea polyandra has anti-inflammatory activity. This is attributed largely to the presence of clerodane diterpenoids contained within the leaf resin. We envisaged developing a topical preparation to treat indications relating to skin inflammation. However, it was unknown whether the resin could be incorporated into a suitable dosage form while retaining the therapeutic value demonstrated in previous work. Therefore, the following study was undertaken to assess parameters of safety and efficacy for a prototype formulation containing the leaf resin extracted from D. polyandra. Methods: Using the assessment criteria of optimum appearance, tactile feeling, spreadability and odour, 78 different formulations were developed. Formulation stability was assessed using a centrifugal test with preparations displaying phase separation further modified or re-formulated. A prototype formulation containing 5% w/w plant resin was selected and subjected to in vitro release studies. This was quantified through HPLC analysis using two major bioactive diterpenoids as reference. The prototype formulation was tested for efficacy in a TPA-induced acute murine skin inflammation model as well as a 3D human skin model for irritancy/toxicity (Epiderm™). Results: The prototype resin cream was a chartreuse-coloured homogenous semisolid preparation that was readily spreadable upon contact with skin with no sensation of tackiness, residual greasiness, or irritation. The optimized cream showed no phase separation after 30 min centrifugation at 825 g. In the TPA-induced inflammation model, the resin formulation significantly reduced ear thickness and interleukin-1 beta levels in mouse ear tissue. The 5% w/w resin cream formulation showed no irritancy in a 3D human skin model. Conclusions: Our results demonstrate that bioactive resin from D. polyandra can be formulated into a stable and non-irritant semi-solid dosage form and reduce parameters of acute skin inflammation in vivo. This article is open to POST-PUBLICATION REVIEW.

Franz cell studies, utilizing different human skin and an artificial membrane, evaluating the influence of skin model on permeation of zolmitriptan coated on an array of titanium microprojections, were evaluated. Full thickness and dermatomed ex vivo human skin, as well as a synthetic hydrophobic membrane (Strat-M®), were assessed. It was found that the choice of model demonstrated different absorption kinetics for the permeation of zolmitriptan. For the synthetic membrane only 11% of the zolmitriptan coated dose permeated into the receptor media, whilst for the dermatomed skin 85% permeated into the receptor. The permeation of zolmitriptan through full thickness skin had a significantly different absorption profile and time to maximum flux in comparison to the dermatomed skin and synthetic model. On the basis of these results dermatomed skin may be a better estimate of in vivo performance of drug-coated metallic microprojections.
