Field of work
Ocular DynaMiTES - In vitro/in vivo correlation of a dynamised tissue model of the cornea in the pharmacokinetic testing of ophthalmic drugs

Active ingredients in ophthalmic preparations are generally absorbed transcorneally and thus reach the aqueous humour via the cornea. The bioavailability of ophthalmic drugs is very low. Preclinical studies on pharmacokinetics or bioequivalence are therefore of great relevance in the development of new ophthalmic formulations and generics. These are currently still predominantly carried out in animal experiments, which are ethically questionable and whose results cannot be reliably transferred to humans. Therefore, in this project the already established in vitro test system Ocular DynaMiTES (Dynamic Micro Tissue Engineering System) [1-8] is prevalidated as an alternative method. The focus of this work is on an in vitro/in vivo correlation with regard to the permeation of ophthalmological active substances from different formulations and the determination of the discriminatory power of the method. In addition, the applicability of the system for in vitro bioequivalence testing is analysed and the robustness of the method is determined.
