Chemical Pentration Enhancer Lect 3 Part1 Flashcards
What are the chemical pentration enhancer?
1_ surfactant 2_bile salts and derivatives 3_ fatty acids and derivatives 4_chelating agents 5_Sulfoxide 6_Monohydricalcohol 7_Miscellaneous 8_Polyols
How the penetration enhancers act?
It acts by : 1_increasing the drug permeability through the skin by causing reversible damage to the stratum corneum.
2_increasing the pation coefficient of the drug to promot its release from vehicle to the skin.
The water content of stratum corneum is ……%
15-20%
What are the mode of action of water in chemical pentration enhancing ?
1_Free water acts as solvent and alter solubility of permeants and so its partioning
2_The cells take up water and swell, shuch swelling of cell would impact upon the lipid structure between the cells causing some disruptionto the bilayer packing.
First chemically design molcule as a pentration enhancer
Azones
Promote flux both hydrophilic and lipophilic permeant
Azones
Highly lipophilic with log o/w =6.2
Azones
Azones are effective at concentration ……% to ….%
0.1%-5%
Azones are effective in high concentration (T or F)
F at low concentration (0.1% -5%)
Azones are soluble and compatible most organic solvents (T or F)
T
Enhances permiation of steroids, antiviral, antibiotics.
Azones
What is the mode of action of azones?
1_(fluidization) interact with thr lipid domains of the stratum corneum.
2_partition into the lipid bilayer to distrupt their packing arrangement.
Is used most commonly in patches
Ethanol
What happened if we use alcohol at high concentration?
At high concentration causes dehydration of biological membrane and decrease the permeation.
Alcohol used in concentration…..%
1-10%
The most effective one in alcohols is the ethanol(T or F)
F the butanol
The most used in alcohol is butanol(T or F)
F the ethanol
If the alcohol is branshed therefore its activity will increase (T or F)
F will have lower activity.
