Lecture 5: Sterile Liquid Formulations Flashcards
Isotonicity
-maintaining and possessing a uniform tension or tone of cell membrane/tissues
over time, concentrations tend to
equilize
Equilibrium can happen in 2 ways:
- diffusion
- osmosis
Diffusion
-permeable membrane
-solute moves from high to low
Osmosis
-SEMIpermeable membrane
-water moves high to low
-membrane does not allow solute to move so it brings in water to dillute it
-concentration is equal but volume changes
Parenteral vehicles have the ability to
-shrink
-burst open blood and venous epithelial cells
Cell membranes are
semipermeable
semipermeable
-somethings can or cant cross
-viable cell
Impermeable membrane
-cell starves
permeable membrane
-cell dies as empty shell
RBCs
-semipermeable
-only water can move in/out via osmosis
-has no capacity to expand = bursts
Hypotonic vehicles
-doesnt have to be water
-can be anything relatively dilute
Osmometer
-measures osmolarity and osmolality of preparations
-uses colligative properties
Colligative properties
-properties of solutions that depend on quantity of molecular paricles in solution rather than the chemical nature of the dissolved materials
Measurable Colligative properties
-freezing point depression
-lowerning of vapor pressure
-OSMOTIC pressure!
-elevation of boiling point
