Effect of Molecular Weight on the Lymphatic Absorption of Water-Soluble Compounds Following Subcutaneous Administration

Supersaxo, Andreas, Hein, Wayne R., Steffen, Hans·1990·Pharmaceutical Research

Abstract

The lymphatic absorption of four water-soluble compounds with different molecular weights (MW) was determined by measuring their cumulative recovery in lymph draining from the site of s.c. administration in sheep. The cumulative recoveries (% of dose, mean +/- SD; N = 3) were 4.0 +/- 1.5 (5-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine, MW 246.2), 21.0 +/- 7.1 (inulin, MW 5200), 38.6 +/- 6.7 (cytochrome c, MW 12,300), and 59.5 +/- 7.7 [human recombinant interferon (rIFN) alpha-2a, MW 19,000], respectively. Our data show that in the investigated MW range, there is a linear relationship between the molecular weight and the proportion of the dose absorbed lymphatically. An increase in molecular weight results in an increased lymphatic absorption. Molecules with MW greater than 16,000 are absorbed mainly by the lymphatics which drain the application site. The knowledge gained in this investigation may help to improve the mode of administration and therapeutic efficacy of endogenous proteins whose targets are lymphoid cells (e.g., interferons, interleukins). Practical implications for the clinical use of such proteins are discussed.

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.
