Permeability of Human Amniotic Membrane to Ofloxacin In Vitro

Abstract

The in vitro model of the Franz-diffusion cell system was found to be applicable for drug permeability studies of human amniotic membranes to water-based solutions. The filter membrane and AM were permeable to a water-based solution of ofloxacin. Significant barrier function of the AM could be measured in ofloxacin permeability. Cryopreservation did not influence the permeability of the AM.
