Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

Ocular pharmacokinetics is a core component in the development of therapeutics for eye diseases. In this chapter, we provide a description of the following concepts and strategies that undergird when and where microdialysis may be a significant advance in the armamentarium of approaches for establishing PK/PD relationships in ophthalmology. We cover the following topics:

• Understanding the current limitations in PK/PD with conventional sampling approaches

• Progress report on advances in the use of microdialysis in ophthalmology

• Preclinical vs. clinical ocular PK cases studies

• Roadblocks to microdialysis in ophthalmology

o Probe design and probe recovery

o Bioanalytical limitations

o Invasiveness of probe implantation

o Analyte properties and perfusion flow rate

• Strategies for design of an ideal microdialysis experiment

• Next advances in microdialysis
