Presentation Transcript

  1. Parenteral Products • administration by injection. • i.v., i.m., s.c., i.d. CHEE 440

  2. Solution Formulation • solvents must meet purity standards • restricted number and kind of added substances • no coloring agents permitted • products are always sterilized • products are pyrogen-free • products prepared in environmentally controlled areas under sanitary conditions • volumes used are specific to application CHEE 440

  3. Components • water • water for injection • sterile water for injection • active agent • need to consider solubility • anti-oxidants • ex. ascorbic acid, sodium bisulfite • buffers • e.g. citric acid, sodium phosphate, sodium acetate, dipotassium hydrogen phosphate • chelating agents • inactivate metals which catalyze degradation • co-solvents • e.g. ethanol, PEG, glycerin • tonicity agents • related to semi-permeable nature of cell membranes and osmotic pressure of solution • preservatives CHEE 440

  4. Preservatives • Criteria • effective • soluble • sufficiently non-ionized in solution • nonirritating, nonsensitizing, nontoxic • chemically stable • compatible with other ingredients • Types • antifungals • benzoic acid, parabens, sodium benzoate, sodium propionate • antimicrobials • benzyl alcohol, phenol, chlorobutanol, cetylpryidinium chloride CHEE 440

  5. Osmotic Pressure : Clinical Relevance • whole blood, plasma, serum are complex mixtures of proteins, glucose, non-protein nitrogenous compounds, and electrolytes (Na, Ca, K, Mg, Cl, CO3 ) • electrolytes determine osmotic pressure • must formulate with osmotic pressure in mind • Osmotic activity is a colligative property • depends on number of molecules present • freezing point depression • boiling pt elevation • osmotic pressure CHEE 440

  6. Osmotic Pressure, P • water moves across a semi-permeabl membrane due to DmL to R • at equilibrium mw,R = mw,L nonideal solutions : ideal solutions : ideally dilute solutions : CHEE 440

  7. Boiling Point Elevation • boiling pt of solution is higher than that of pure solvent • consider a vapor in equilibrium with a solution at constant pressure • for very dilute solutions : • Kb = ebullioscopic constant (Tables) • Kb water = 0.51 K kg/mol CHEE 440

  8. Tonicity • extent of swelling or contraction of biological membrane (cells, mucous membranes) • cell membranes are semipermeable • hypertonic = higher P than cells • causes cells to crenate or shrink • hypotonic = lower P than cells • causes cells to rupture (lyse) • isotonic = same P (isoosmotic) CHEE 440

  9. Freezing Point Depression • assume solvent freezes as pure solvent • Kf = cryoscopic constant (Tables) • Kf water = 1.86 K kg/mol CHEE 440

  10. Electrolyte Solutions • Van’t Hoff Factor, i • accounts for nonideality, increased number of moles produced ideally dilute CHEE 440

  11. Methods of Adjusting Tonicity • DTf blood and tears = - 0.52˚C • add appropriate amount of compound (ex. NaCl) to drug solution or add water to drug solution • NaCl Equivalent Method • E = amount of NaCl equivalent in P to 1 g of drug • NaCl (w/v%) = 0.90 - E*[drug] (w/v%) • values for E found in Tables (p 622-7 Remington) CHEE 440

  12. Methods of Adjusting Tonicity • White-Vincent Method (USP Method) • calculates volume (V) in ml of isotonic solution that can be prepared by mixing drug with water/isotonic buffered solution • V = w * E *111.1 • w = wt. of drug (g) CHEE 440

  13. Methods of Adjusting Tonicity • Freezing Point Depression • freezing point depressions of 1w/v% drug solutions (DTf1%) have been tabulated (p 622-627 Remington) • choose appropriate solute for adjusting tonicity • using DTf,ref1% determine required amount (wref) to cover remaining DTf • Vreq = volume of water required • C = drug concentration (w/v%) CHEE 440

  14. Example : • 1. Make a 25 ml isotonic solution of 2.5 w/v % epinephrine bitartrate. • 2. Do the same but now add 0.5w/v % phenol. CHEE 440

  15. Buffers • compounds or mixtures which resist changes in their pH • typically a combination of a weak acid and its conjugate base (salt) or a weak base and its conjugate acid • ex. acetic acid and sodium acetate • to determine pH of buffer solution • weak acid + salt • weak base + salt • valid for 4 < pH < 10

  16. Buffers • buffer capacity, b • the amount of resistance to change in pH • maximum capacity • when pH = pKa

  17. Buffers : clinical significance • drugs • many exert some buffering action • biological buffers • blood • pH ≈ 7.4 (7.0-7.8) • bblood ≈ 0.031 • lacrimal fluid • pH ≈ 7.4 (7-8) • large b (15 x dilution) • reaction with tissue • want pH formulation ≈ pH body fluid • don’t want a strong capacity

  18. Buffers • preparation • select weak acid with a pKa near desired pH • use buffer capacity eqn to calculate [acid]:[salt] ratio • a suitable buffer has a [salt] + [acid] = 0.05 - 0.5 M and a capacity of 0.01 - 0.1 • check tonicity

  19. Containers CHEE 440

  20. Freeze Drying • used to dry heat-sensitive materials liquid P solid vapor T CHEE 440

  21. Freeze-Drying • advantages • degradation of product is minimized • light, porous product • no concentration of product during drying • disadvantages • product is very hygroscopic • slow and expensive process CHEE 440
