The transdermal delivery of aqueous formulations of indomethacin, a model drug, with different concentrations of three types of dendrimer showed a linear increase in flux with increasing concentration of each of the dendrimers. This result was in contrast to phase solubility studies, where Higuchi's A, profile was observed. The steady-state flux of the drug increased significantly and was highest with the G4-NH2 dendrimer at 0.2% w/v concentration, which showed an enhancement factor of 4.5 compared to the pure drug suspension. In vivo, a steady-state flux was achieved in 5 h and the C-max values were significantly higher with G4-NH2 and G4-OH dendrimer formulations. The [AUC](0-24h) of G4-NH2 (2.27) G4-OH of G4-NH2 (1.95 times) formulations were significantly higher than that of the pure drug, but was only marginally higher in the case of G-4.5 dendrimer formulation. The % inhibition of paw volume showed a trend comparable to the pharmacokinetic data and a maximum of 1.6- and 1.5-fold increase was found with G4-NH2 and G4-OH formulations, respectively, compared to the pure drug suspension.
