17
Q

How do surfactants work?

A

disrupt H-bonding or lipid chain packing

18
Q

What are ADRs for surfactants?

A

irritation

19
Q

How does the special co-solvent DMSO work?

A

solvates lipid polar heads in aqueous region

20
Q

How does the special co-solvent azone work?

A

inserts between lipid chains in lipid region

21
Q

What are examples of surfactants?

A

1) DMSO, 2) sodium dodecyl sulfate, 3) oleic acid, 4) azone

22
Q

How do surfactants differ from co-solvents?

A

larger alkyl chain and amphiphilic

23
Q

How do co-solvents work?

A

1) extract lipid from SC to make porous; 2) swells lipid membranes to decrease viscosity

24
Q

What are examples of high-concentration organic co-solvents?

A

1) DMSO, 2) dimethyl formamide, 3) propylene glycol, 4) EtOH, 5) N,N-dimethyl acetamide, 6) N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone; 7) 2-pyrrolidone

25
Q

How do co-solvents differ from surfactants?

A

low MW, H-bonding group, few carbons

26
Q

What is the enhancement factor equation?

A

flux in presence of promotor / flux in absence

27
Q

How is solubility-enhanced vehicle modification achieved?

A

1) pH, 2) liposomes/SLNs, 3) supersaturation with co-solvents

28
Q

What are the methods for achieving supersaturation with cosolvents?

A

1) solvent evaporation, 2) co-solvents, 3) complexation

29
Q

When can changing pH to enhance solubility be done?

A

when compound is ionizable; can increase patch dose and drug stability

30
Q

What are ADRs for pH modification?

A

skin irritation
