The feasibility of [P(AA-co-PEGMM)] film as a buccal mucoadhesive patch was previously reported by estimating mucoadhesiveness and release characteristics. To find a rational penetration enhancer of [P(AA-co-PEGMM)] film containing butorphanol tartrate (Bt), penetration of Bt from [P(AA-co-PEGMM)] film which contained various additives was estimated by measuring its flux, Papp and lag tme in in vitro buccal membrane of porcine. EDTA showed almost no increase of Bt permeability, wherease SGC, STDHF and SLS increased the permeability of Bt with the order of SGC > STDHF > SLS. The rational additive concentration of SGC was 4% and its Papp and lag time were $1.93{\times}10^{-4}{\pm}4.21{\times}10^{-6},\;126.60{\pm}21.88min\;(control\;:\;Papp\;0.45{\times}10^{-4};\;lag\;time\;211.01{\pm}16.77\;min)$, respectively.

To develop the buccal delivery system of rhEGF for the treatment of buccal mucosal ulcer, polymer films and hydrogels were investigated. Methods: Hydrogels for thermosenstive sol/gel systems were prepared by the cold method (Schmolka, 1972). And mucoadhesive films were prepared by mixing sod. alginate/polycarbophil 974p. To find an optimum buccal mucosal adhesive gel or film, the gel strength of the poloxamer and sod. alginate/polycarbophil 974p hydrogels were determined by the Simple Rheology Method and their mucoadhesiveness were measured by the Instron (M 4400, Instron Co., U.S.A.) method.
