IVIVC Flashcards
Innovator = ?
Brand (ex. Advil)
Describe bioavailability studies
- need to do Ba for every optimized formulation (past)
- ensure that the optimized “new formulation” is similar to the “old formulation” of the same drug
- lengthy and costly
In vitro = ?
within the glass
In vivo = ?
within the living
What the concept between IVIVC?
based on developing a relationship between dissolution and bioavailability
*a predictive mathematical model describing the relationship between an in vitro property of a dosage form and relevant in vivo response
In vitro property is ?
the rate of drug dissolution or release
In vivo response is ?
the plasma drug concentration or amount of drug absorbed (bioavailability)
Why was IVIVC developed?
To minimize the need for additional bioavailability studies as part of the formulation design
What is the difference between solubility and dissolution?
Solubility: the number of mg that can be dissolved in a certain volume (mg/mL)
Dissolution: the rate at which the mg dissolve into the certain volume (mg/time)
Noyes-Whitney Equation:
What does D stand for?
diffusion coefficient (diffusivity) of the drug
Noyes-Whitney Equation:
What does the S stand for?
surface area of the drug
Noyes-Whitney Equation:
What does the h stand for?
thickness of the diffusion layer liquid film
Noyes-Whitney Equation:
What does the Cs stand for?
saturation solubility of the drug
Noyes-Whitney Equation:
What does C stand for?
concentration of the drug in the bulk medium
What are some dosage forms that require a dissolution test?
tablets, capsules, ointments, creams, suppositories, pessaries, transdermal and implants
What is selection of testing conditions based on?
- Type of dosage form (tablets, suspensions, transdermal)
- Release pattern (immediate vs modified release)
- Physiology of the site of administration (GIT, skin, buccal, sublingual)
Dissolution apparatus 1
Rotating basket:
-disadvantage is that dosage may clog in mesh screen
Dissolution apparatus 2
Paddle:
- sinkers used for floating pills
- disadvantage is cone formation
