Nodular basal cell carcinoma is a deep skin lesion and one of the most common cancers. Conventional photodynamic therapy is limited to treatment of superficial skin lesions. The parenteral administration of near-IR preformed photosensitizers suffers from poor selectivity and may result in prolonged skin photosensitivity. Microneedles (MNs) can provide localized drug delivery to skin lesions. Intradermal delivery of the preformed near-IR photosensitizer; 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(2,6-difluoro-3-N-methyl-sulfamoylphenyl bacteriochlorin (Redaporfin (TM)) using dissolving MN was successful in vitro and in vivo. MN demonstrated complete dissolution 30 min after skin application and showed sufficient mechanical strength to penetrate the skin to a depth of 450 mm. In vitro deposition studies illustrated that the drug was delivered and detected down to 5 mm in skin. In vivo biodistribution studies in athymic nude mice Crl: NU(NCr)-Foxn1(nu) showed both fast initial release and localized drug delivery. The MN-treated mice showed a progressive decrease in the fluorescence intensity at the application site over the 7-day experiment period, with the highest and lowest fluorescence intensities measured being 9.2 x 10(10) +/- 2.5 x 10(10) and 3.8 x 10(9) +/- 1.6 x 10(9) p/s, respectively. By day 7, there was some migration of fluorescence away from the site of initial MN application. However, the majority of the body surfaces showed fluorescence levels that were comparable to those seen in the negative control group. This work suggests utility for polymeric MN arrays in minimally invasive intradermal delivery to enhance photodynamic therapy of deep skin lesions. (c) 2018 American Pharmacists Association (R).
