lab final Flashcards
Oil droplets (dispersed phase) are dispersed in water (dispersion medium)
Oil-in-Water (O/W) Emulsion
Appears less greasy and easily washable with water.
Conducts electricity since water is the continuous phase.
Oil-in-Water (O/W) Emulsion
Commonly used in oral emulsions (e.g., liquid preparations for oily drugs).
Oil-in-Water (O/W) Emulsion
Found in topical formulations such as lotions and creams.
Oil-in-Water (O/W) Emulsion
Water droplets (dispersed phase) are dispersed in oil (dispersion medium).
Water-in-Oil (W/O) Emulsion
Feels greasy and not easily washable with water.
Poor electrical conductivity due to oil being the continuous phase.
Water-in-Oil (W/O) Emulsion
Used in dermatological formulations like creams and ointments for moisturizing.
Water-in-Oil (W/O) Emulsion
Suitable for depot injections (e.g., slow-release hormonal drugs).
Water-in-Oil (W/O) Emulsion
These have more than two phases, where one type of emulsion is dispersed within another.
Multiple Emulsions
Types of Multiple Emulsions
Oil-in-Water-in-Oil (O/W/O)
Water-in-Oil-in-Water (W/O/W)
Oil droplets dispersed in water, which is further dispersed in another oil phase.
Oil-in-Water-in-Oil (O/W/O)
Water droplets dispersed in oil, which is further dispersed in an external water phase.
Water-in-Oil-in-Water (W/O/W)
Provide controlled release of active ingredients.
Can encapsulate both hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs.
Multiple Emulsions
Used in advanced pharmaceutical formulations and cosmetic products.
Multiple Emulsions
Used to prevent the coalescence and
maintain the integrity of the individual
droplets of dispersed liquid.
Emulsifying Agent
Effectiveness of emulsifying agents depend on its:
chemical structure
concentration
solubility
pH
physical properties
electrostatic effect
These are capable of forming and stabilizing emulsions by themselves
True Emulsifying Agent
Examples of True Emulsifying Agent
Acacia, Gum Arabic
They do not form acceptable emulsions when used alone, but do not assist primary agents in stabilizing the product.
Stabilizer
Examples of Stabilizers
Agar
Gulaman
Chondrus
Dextrin
Malt extract
Natural Emulsifying Agent (Animal Source)
Casein
Cholesterol
Egg yolk
Gelatin
Wool fat
Natural Emulsifying Agent (Vegetable Source)
Agar
Acacia
Pectin
Chondrus
Tragacanth
Have high pH and therefore sensitive to the addition of acids and electrolytes.
ANIONIC SYNTHETIC AGENTS
These are hydrophilic and form oil-in-water soaps
Alkali soaps
These are water insoluble and form water-in-oil soaps
Metallic soaps
Soap that form oil-in-water
Monovalent soaps
Soap that form water-in-oil
Polyvalent soaps
These are used as surfaced-active agents in 1% concentration.
Are incompatible with soaps.
CATIONIC SYNTHETIC AGENTS
Example of CATIONIC SYNTHETIC AGENTS
Benzalkonium Chloride
are resistant to the addition of acids and electrolytes
NON-IONIC SYNTHETIC AGENTS
Example of NON-IONIC SYNTHETIC AGENTS
Polyethylene Glycol 400 Monostearate
hydrophobic in nature and form water-in-oil
Sorbitan Esters - SPANS
hydrophilic in nature and form oil-in-water emulsion
may form complexes with phenolic compounds
Polysorbates - TWEENS

to ensure pyrogen free
Depyrogenation
Most common pyrogenic material
endotoxin
Test to ensure pyrogen free
LAL
A room in which the concentration of airborne particles are controlled.
Cleanroom
Melt the tip to form a bead
Tip/Bead Sealing
melt below the tip then pull it away
Pull Sealing
A more liable method; heat it below the tip, pull it, rotate the glass (capillary) to lessen the sharpness
Pull Sealing
