We have developed a simple, sensitive and reliable assay procedure for cyclosporin A (CyA), a modified fluorescence polarization immunoassay method incorporating fat emulsion (FE-FPIA), to determine the CyA content in rat skin. The conventional fluorescence polarization immunoassay (FPIA) method for CyA using a commercially available FPIA kit, TDX cyclosporine monoclonal whole blood, was modified. A fat emulsion for intravenous infusion, Intralipos, was incorporated for dissolving the CyA extracted from the skin tissue, and a mixture of MeOH/purified water was used as the sample pretreatment medium instead of the precipitation reagent in the conventional FPIA kit intended for whole blood samples. These modifications enabled us to produce a reliable and the sensitive assay of CyA in skin tissue. The reproducibility (coefficient of variation), detection limit, and assay time for FE-FPIA were below 2%, 25 ng/ml, and about 24 min/24 samples, respectively, and were comparable with those for the whole blood samples determined by the conventional FPIA. Pre-purification of samples required by the HPLC assay is not needed in the FE-FPIA method. The usefulness of the FE-FPIA method in evaluating the topical pharmacokinetics of CyA in skin is discussed.
