Abstract
Permeability rates were determined across excised rabbit corneas for 11 steroids. Permeability coefficients for each steroid were calculated, and their logarithms were plotted against their respective log octanol-water partition coefficients. A parabolic relationship resulted, with an optimum log permeability and coefficient observed at a log Po of 2.9. From these experimental results, an improvement in ophthalmic bioavailability of dexamethasone acetate as compared to dexamethasone is predicted and correlates with literature results.Entities:
