SKIN-CAD brochure English version (SKIN-CAD610E2.pdf)
SKIN-CAD is…
A general simulation software for the skin and body pharmacokinetics following transdermal and topical drug delivery. This software predicts dynamic profiles of skin permeation and distribution and blood concentration under various modes of transdermal delivery. This also analyzes the effects of metabolism and binding in the skin, dermal blood uptake, iontophoresis, and so on.
Features of Version 6.1
Capability
SKIN-CAD can optimize the design of transdermal drug delivery systems (prediction of clinical performance, setup of administration schedule) as well as evaluation of the effects of various factors on skin permeation and blood concentration profiles. With the model parameters determined from in vitro or in vivo experiments or evaluated from correlation equations, SKIN-CAD can quickly provide you with graphical images; blood concentration – time profiles for systemic application, drug distribution in the skin for topical application, skin permeability of skin-care products.
SKIN-CAD provides in vivo/in vitro/in silico evaluation of transdermal drug delivery systems.
