Q

name 3 factors that affect the release of the drug from the ointment base

A

drug properties
the ointment base
the skin type

20
Q

explain how the drug properties can affect its release from the ointment base

A

the partition coefficient of the drug
the concentration of the drug in the product

21
Q

most drugs are hydrophilic or hydrophobic in nature??

A

hydrophobic

22
Q

true or false

hydrophobic drugs are generally released faster from a hydrophobic base as compared to a hydrophilic base

A

FALSE

hydrophobic drug is released faster from a hydrophilic base

23
Q

hydrophobic drugs will be released faster from which type of base?

-O/W emulsion
-oleaginous base

A

O/W emulsion

24
Q

will hydrophobic drugs be released relatively quickly from a water miscible base?

A

yes

25
Q

will hydrophobic drugs be released relatively quickly from an absorption base?

A

NO

26
Q

RANK THE DRUG RELEASE POTENTIAL OF A HYDROPHOBIC DRUG IN THE FOLLOWING BASES:

-absorption base
-oleaginous base
-water miscible base
-polysorbate bases

A

fastest:
water miscible
polysorbate
absorption base
slowest = oleaginous

oleaginous base < absorption base
< polysorbate base <water miscible base

27
Q

what should be done to ascertain the drug release properties of a drug?

A

several base samples from several different batches should be tested and statistical analysis should be used

28
Q

true or false

there is regional variation for drug absorption via the skin

A

true

hydration and moisturization of the stratum corneum increases absorption through the skin

occlusiveness increases permeability bc of increased hydration and swelling of the stratum corneum

29
Q

hydration and moisturization of the corneum (skin) increases ___ through the skin

A

absorption

30
Q

occlusiveness increases _____ bc of…..

A

increases permeability bc of increased hydration and swelling of the stratum corneum

31
Q

explain the preparation of in situ preparations

A

emulsifying agent is NOT added directly rather it is formed IN SITU (via a chemical reaction during the preparation process.)

the fatty acid reacts with the base added to form the emulsifier

32
Q

the type of emulsion formed in in situ emulsion preparation depends on what?

A

the HLB of the emulsifier formed

33
Q

what can be added to stabilize the emulsion in in situ preparations

A

additional emulsifers

34
Q

name 3 fatty acids and their # of carbons

A

oleic acid (C18 unsaturated)
stearic acid (C18 saturated)
cerotic acid (C26 saturated)

35
Q

give 3 examples of oleic acid

A

olive oil has greater than 70% oleic acid

almond oil

palm oil

36
Q

give examples of stearic acid

A

animal fats and vegetable oils (coconut oil, palm oil)

37
Q

give examples of cerotic acid

A

waxes (bees wax, carnauba wax)

38
Q

what are the bases commonly used in in situ preparations

A

inorganic - sodium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate, borax, ammonia hydroxide, calcium hydroxide

organic - trolamine (triethanolamine)

39
Q

amine bases form what kind of emulsions?
name an amine base

A

O/W
triethanolamine (trolamine)

40
Q

divalent cation bases form what kind of emulsion?
give an example of a divalent cation

A

W/O emulsion
Ca2+

41
Q

monovalent bases form what kind of emulsion?
give examples

A

O/W
Na+ NH4+ OH ,CO3, borate salts

42
Q

oleic acid + NaOH –>

A

sodium oleate

43
Q

function of cetyl alcohol in a lotion

is it water or oil soluble

A

rheology modifer (stiffener)

oil soluble

44
Q

use of anhydrous lanolin in lotion

is it water or oil soluble

A

moisturizer.
prevents water loss

use of stearic acid in lotion

is it water or oil soluble

A

emollient, emulsifer, lubricant
