The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility of liver surface application of macromolecular compounds in the disease state. We used male Wistar rats treated with carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) or D-galactosamine (GAL). FD-10 and other marker compounds were applied to the liver surface using a cylindrical diffusion cell in liver-intoxicated rats. The blood, bile, urine, and the remaining solution in the diffusion cell were collected for assay. FD-10 was absorbed by first-order kinetics from the liver surface in the liver-intoxicated rat models. The calculated rate constant ka values in the normal, CCl4 and GAL groups were 0.000965, 0.00125 and 0.00104 min-1, respectively. Increased absorption of FITC-dextrans in the liverintoxicated rats was observed. In both CCl4 and GAL groups, an inverse relationship was observed between the molecular weight and ka from the rat liver surface of the marker compounds. The limits of the molecular weight absorbed from the liver surface were extrapolated to be 71200, 135000, and 105000 in the normal, CCl4, and GAL groups, respectively. In conclusion, increased absorbability from the rat liver surface indicates that liver surface application for liver targeting of macromolecules in the diseased state is indeed feasible. Therefore, our findings can support further research on liver surface application of drugs under liver disease., Biological & pharmaceutical bulletin, 43(2), pp.319-324; 2020}, pages = {319--324}, title = {Influence of Liver Intoxication by Carbon Tetrachloride or D-Galactosamine on Absorption of Fluorescein Isothiocyanate-Dextran-10 and Other Marker Compounds with Different Molecular Weights from the Rat Liver Surface}, volume = {43}, year = {2020} }
