Nasal enzymes
•Cytochrome P 450 dependent onooxygenases, Lactate
dehydrogenase, Oxidoreductase, Hydrolases, Esterase,
lactic dehydogenase, malic enzymes, lysosomal
proteinases, steroid hydroxylases., etc.,
•Cytochrome P450 dependent mono oxygenases has
been reported to catalyse the metabolism of xenobiotics,
nasal decongestants, nocotine, cocaine, phenacetin,
nitrosamine progesterone etc.,
•Insulin zinc free was hydrolysed slowly by leusine
aminopeptidase,
•PG of E series was inactivated 15 hydroxyprostaglandin
dehydrogenase

Nasal pH
•Nasal secretion of adult : 5.5-6.5
•Infants and children: 5-6.7
•It becomes alkaline in conditions such as
acute rhinitis, acute sinusitis.

Nasal route is a part of drug delivery
strategy that is emerging to be a fastest
growing drug delivery system with an
annual growth of
11% for locally acting drugs
&
30% for systemically acting drugs
