formulations (CNS) Flashcards
diff types of parenteral inj
- IV (into vein, 25*) blood vessels
- SC (into sc layer, 45*) fat, collagen, blood vessels
- IM (into muscles 90*) muscle, blood vessels
- Intradermal (into epidermis 10-15*) epithelial
- intrathecal (spinal canal 5-15*) CSF
- Epidural (into epidural space. Still need diffuse through epithelial layer)
IT (spinal fluid)
○ Drugs administered into a (Ommaya) reservoir / lower back
○ Drug delivered directly into cerebrospinal fluid, flows directly to brain
- NO need bypass BBB
CSF
- clear solution. 99% water.
- 1% protein, ions, neurotransmitters, glucose
- pH ~ 7.3
- Vol 150mL
* 430 - 530 mL produced per day (replaced every 5hrs) - Viscosity, flow rate, pressure varies
CSF viscosity, flow rate, pressure varies by
- Depends on time of day, amt of body fluids etc)
- Ebb and flow “circulation”
- Back and forth. But overall flow = forward
* Movement promoted by: Cilia & Conc gradient
barriers and disadv of IT
- dilution/ distribution (minor, 150mL vol)
- reticuloendothelial system
- metabolic enzymes
- invasive
- need trained medical professional
- STRICT sterility (direct to CNS)
ADV of all parenteral
- bypass hepatic first pass metabolism
- control dosage (lower conc, less toxicity)
- direct access to brain (IT)
- SR (IM depots, IT reservoirs)
- non-compliant/ unconscious/ dysphagic pts
parenteral to brain access
- Drug sol flows through circ system
○ Reticuloendothelial system (RES): phagocytes, lymphocytes
○ Distributed everywhere, not targeted (unless there is active targeting) - Drugs must bypass BBB to access brain
○ Blocks 98% of small molecules (drug candidate)
1) Paracellular transport (tight junctions)
2) transcellular transport
1) paracellular
○ Paracellular transport (tight junctions)
○ tight junctions (epithelium of cerebral vasculature)
2) transcellular
- Active efflux transporters
□ Remove drugs from organs –> lumen (blood) - carrier mediated transports (CMT)
- receptor mediated transports (RMT)
active efflux transporters (OUT)
□ P-glycoprotein (P-gp)
□ breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP)
□ multi-drug resistance protein (MRP)
CMT (carrier)
Solute carrier complexes: transports natural solutes in body. Same carrier on other end of epithelial cells to cross to brain interstitial fluid
□ LAT1: natural aa
□ GLUT-1: glucose
□ MCT1: mono-carboxylates (lactate, ketones)
□ OCTN2: organic cations
RMT (receptor)
□ Solute has specific functional grps
- Solute binds to IR (insulin receptor)/ TfR (transferrin receptor)
a) Should design drug that targets carriers found more specifically in the brain - Triggers cascade
- Transcytosis to internalise solute into vesicle
- Vesicle fused on apical side and is released into brain interstitial fluid
ideal drug candidate for CNS drug delivery
lipinski
- MW < 450Da (larger is cleared slower)
- H bond donors ( <3)
- H bond acceptor ( <7)
- LogP (1-3) not too lipo
- UNIONISED
other factors for CNS penetration
- pH ideal 7.4 (but wide range, promote stability of formulation)
* IM: 3-11
* SC: 3-6 - tonicity (hypertonic > hypo)
* 280-290 mOsm/L for large vol (replaces more body fluid)
* hypertonic (water leave cells, but can be adj later), but hypotonic (BURST) - particle size
* no visble particle (block syringe/ capillaries)
delivery systems for parenterals
is in lq state (can be freeze-dried solid –> reconstituted)
○ Solutions
* Drug molecules
* Proteins/ peptides
○ Suspensions
* Nano/microemulsions (oil, lq phases + emulsifier)
* Liposomes/ other lipid-based self assembled structures
* Nanoparticles
