- Subcutaneous Injection
- 500mcg – 2mg
- ~95-100% (bypasses first-pass)
- Once or twice daily
- Systemic inflammation, IBD models, metabolic studies
- Highest bioavailability and most predictable pharmacokinetics. Standard for dose-response studies
- Oral/Sublingual
- 3mg – 5mg
- ~40-60% (gastric degradation)
- Twice daily, 30 min before meals
- GI-specific inflammation, colitis, enteric pathway studies
- Lower bioavailability but direct GI tract exposure. Preferred when targeting intestinal inflammation
- Topical
- 0.5mg – 2mg/mL concentration
- <5% systemic (local effect)
- Twice daily application
- Dermatitis, wound healing, localized skin inflammation
- Minimal systemic absorption. Use when local anti-inflammatory effect is desired without systemic exposure
- Intraperitoneal (preclinical only)
- 1mg – 5mg
- ~80-90%
- Once daily
- Acute inflammation models, sepsis studies
- Rapid systemic distribution in rodent models. Not applicable to human research
