There is mounting evidence that the permeability coefficients (k(p)) that describe any given transdermal drug permeation process generally follow some form of positively skewed, non-symmetrical distribution lather than a simple normal distribution Yet a suitable theoretical treatment of this area has not been undertaken to date In this paper, we describe a two-layer model that can explain five drugs' k(p) at variabilities as measured in two previously published papers The model shows why rapidly permeating chugs would tend to exhibit mote symmetrical k(p) distributions while progressively more slowly permeating drugs would tend to exhibit progressively more positively skewed k(p) distributions Future research should take this effect into account when comparing the flux variabilities of hydrophilic and lipophilic drugs (c) 2009 Elsevier B.V All lights reserved
