Abstract	Purpose. To visualize the transport pathway(s) of high molecular weight model compounds across rat nasal epithelium in vivousing confocal laser scanning microscopy. Furthermore, the influence of nasal absorption enhancers (randomly methylated β-cyclodextrin and sodium taurodihydrofusidate) on this transport was studied. Methods. Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labelled dextrans with a molecular weight of 3,000 or 10,000 Da were administered intranasally to rats. Fifteen minutes after administration the tissue was fixed with Bouin. The nasal septum was surgically removed and stained with Evans Blue protein stain or DiIC18(5) lipid stain prior to visualization with the confocal laser scanning microscope. Results. Transport of FITC-dextran 3,000 across nasal epithelium occurred via the paracellular pathway. Endocytosis of FITC-dextran 3,000 was also shown. In the presence of randomly methylated β-cyclodextrin 2% (w/v) similar transport pathways for FITC-dextran 3,000 were observed. With sodium taurodihydrofusidate 1% (w/v) the transport route was also paracellular with endocytosis, but cells were swollen and mucus was extruded into the nasal cavity. For FITC-dextran 10,000 hardly any transport was observed without enhancer, or after co-administration with randomly methylated β-cyclodextrin 2% (w/v). Co-administration with sodium taurodihydrofusidate 1% (w/v) resulted in paracellular transport of FITC-dextran 10,000, but morphological changes, i.e. swelling of cells and mucus extrusion, were observed. Conclusions. Confocal laser scanning microscopy is a suitable approach to visualize the transport pathways of high molecular weight hydrophilic compounds across nasal epithelium, and to study the effects of absorption enhancers on drug transport and cell morphology.
