Popis: Allopurinol (AP) is the first line drug in treating hyperuricemia and gout in clinical by oral drug delivery, which is associated with severe adverse effects and the hepatic first-pass effect. Herein, we first proposed AP encapsulated dissolving microneedles (DMNs) for transdermal drug delivery to realize the sustained drug release and avoid the hepatic first-pass effect, which will help to reduce the adverse effects and improve the bioavailability of AP. DMNs were fabricated by a suspension solution casting method with precisely controlled dose. They had sufficient mechanical strength to penetrate through the skin and resulted in the formation of hundreds of micropores in skin. The results of
