Nasal mucociliary clearance as a factor in nasal drug delivery
Abstract
The nasal mucociliary clearance system transports the mucus layer that covers the nasal epithelium towards the nasopharynx by ciliary beating. Its function is to protect the respiratory system from damage by inhaled substances. Impairment of nasal mucociliary clearance can result in diseases of the upper airways. Therefore, it is important to study the effects of drugs and drug excipients on nasal mucociliary clearance. A large number of methods are used to assess mucociliary clearance. These methods study the effects of drug and excipients on the mucociliary system in vitro or in vivo in animals and humans. In some cases, the results of different in vitro and in vivo measurements do not correlate well. In vitro methods, especially ciliary beat frequency measurements, have been demonstrated to be valuable tools for toxicity screening. However, in vivo studies are essential to confirm the safety of nasal drug formulations. Nasal mucociliary clearance also has implications for nasal drug absorption. Drugs are cleared rapidly from the nasal cavity after intranasal administration, resulting in fast systemic drug absorption. Several approaches are discussed to increase the residence time of drug formulations in the nasal cavity, resulting in improved nasal drug absorption. However, more experimental evidence is needed to support the conclusion that this improved absorption is caused by a longer residence time of the nasal drug formulation.

Saliva samples taken from 30 minutes onwards cannot reflect spiking.
“Samples taken from 30 minutes onwards, however, cannot reflect spiking, as substances that are not absorbed across the nasal membrane are transported to the back of the throat, and then swallowed within 15 minutes [14].”
From Salivary oxytocin concentrations in males following intranasal administration of oxytocin: a double-blind, cross-over study (2015) · cites this paper as [14]
Taking saliva samples at 15 minutes after intranasal oxytocin creates the risk of collecting saliva spiked with intranasal oxytocin.
“Hence, taking saliva samples at 15 minutes creates the risk of collecting saliva that is ‘spiked’ with IN-OT (indeed this may be why other saliva studies have chosen 30 minutes as their first measurement, as this allows almost double the length of time of average mucociliary transport [14]).”

Mucociliary transport from the nasal cavity to the back of the throat takes 12-15 minutes in healthy individuals.
“This process of clearing substances from the nasal cavity to the back of the throat, called mucociliary transport, takes 12–15 minutes in healthy individuals [14].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
