Abstract
Results obtained from step-scan Fourier transform infrared photoacoustic spectroscopic (FTIR-PAS) experiments on ketoconazole diffusion into artificial dodecanol-collodion (DDC) membrane are presented. Measurements were performed for two frequencies of 13 Hz and 54 Hz at the spectral range ( $500\div4500$ ) cm ^-1. Both in-phase and quadrature components of photoacoustic signal were registered. Analysis of ketoconazole diffusion was carried out for 1512 cm ^-1 line, whose intensity showed strong dependence on drug concentration. This analysis based on earlier proposed theoretical model of diffusion in a layered system. Experimental dependencies were fitted with theoretical curves using multiparameter fitting procedure. It allowed determination of the diffusion coefficient of ketoconazole in DDC membrane $D = (2.1\pm0.5)\cdot10^{-9}$ cm ²s ^-1. Obtained results confirmed usability of step-scan FTIR-PAS techniques in investigations of diffusion processes.
