1st Exam Flashcards
Extent of solubility of a substance in a specific solvent is measured as
Saturation concentration
Results when the simultaneous and opposing processes of dissolution and phase joining proceed at a constant rate
Equilibrium solubility
Standard technique to determine thermodynamic aqueous compound solubilty
Shake Flask Method
Factors affecting solubility
NHSSSPP
Examples of particle size reduction
Micronization and sprayd drying
Rely upon mechanical stress to disaagregate active compound
Particle Size Reduction
Physical means to improve solubility
PDMC
Chemical ways to improve solubiltiy
pBDCS
Refers to a group of solid products consisting of at least two different components, a hydrophilic matrix and hydrophobic drug
Solid Dispersion
Used to prepare fast release solid dispersion dosage forms
Hot-Melt Method
Advantage is the use of a lower temperature
Solvent Evaporatiog method
Same as fusion method but with intense mixing of the components
Hot-Melt Extrusion
Biphasic system consisting of nano sized drug particles stabilized by surfactants for either topical and oral use or parenteral and pulmonary administration
Nanosuspension
Applied to poorly soluble drugs that are insoluble in water and oi
Nanosuspension
Types of nanosuspension
PMHC
Suspension is prepared using high-sheer media filling
Media filling
Suspension of a drug and surfactant is forced under pressure through a nanosized aparture valve of a high pressure homogenizer
High Pressure Homogenizer
Technique in which precipitated particle suspension is homogenized which preserves the particle size
Combined precipitation and homogenization
Ibuprofen is BCS class?
2
Characteristics of a well designed drug product
- Precise dose in each dosage form
- Working according to a prescribed regimen
- Physically stable and appealing
- Clearly labeled with storage conditions and expiration date
Do not possess dissociable ions, freely soluble in in water
Non electrolyte
Composed of metal ions and electronegative elements
Inorganic acids bases and salts
Majority of the pharmaceutical and medicinal agents
Organic acids and bases
Best describe acid-base behavior
pKa and pH
For systemic infections, weak acid, pKa of 6.3, crystallize in low pH –> kidney damage
Sulfadiazine
