Solutions Flashcards
Type of solution: Alloys like brass, bronze, etc.
Solid-solid
Type of solution of the solution of sugar, salt, etc. in water
solid-liquid
Type of solution of the Sublimation of substances like iodine, camphor, etc. into the air
solid-gas
Type of solution of substances like iodine, camphor, etc. into the air
Solid-gas
Type of solution for the hydrated salts, mercury in amalgated zinc, etc
Liquid-solid
Type of solution for Alcohol in water, benzene in toluene
Illiquid-liquid
Type of solution for aerosol, water vapour in the air
liquid-gas
type of solution for hydrogen absorved in palladium
Gas-solid
Type of solution for aerated drinks
gas-liquid
Type of solution for a mixture of gases
gas-gas
Solutes are inseparable from the mixture and do not sediment. It is stable
Solution
its components cannot be separated using filtration
Solution
The major consideration in assessing the acceptability of a suspension
Redispersibility
two most common basic evaluative procedures
- Measurement of the sedimentation volume
- Ease of redispersion
simple ratio of the height of sediment to initial height of the initial volume
Sedimentation volume
particle size of the suspension is about 2-5 micrometer
brownian movement
Used to assess suspension for stress testing for stability testing result in increase of particle growth and may indicate future state after long storage
Freeze-thaw cycling technique
apparatus used in sedimentation
Andreasen apparatus
Coulter counter apparatus
allows the observer to view the actual particles
Microscopic method
Number of hours for freezing and thawing
Freezing: 18 hours (freezer)
thawing: 4-6 hours (room temp)
A clear, homogeneous liquid dosage form that
contains one or more chemical substances dissolved in
a solvent or mixture of mutually miscible solvents.
Solution
The component that dissolves the other
component.
Solvent
-It is a homogeneous mixture
Solution
The component(s) that is/are dissolved in the
solvent.
Solute
particles are too tiny and have a diameter less than
1 nm.
Solution
particles are not visible to naked eyes
Solution
Particles don’t scatter a beam of light passing through
it and hence the path of the light is not visible.
Solution
Solutes are inseparable from the mixture and do not
sediment.
Solution
Visual inspection for the presence of gross
floating or particulate matter.
Solution
Observes clarity, particulate matter, color
Appearance
detection of the presence of degradation - assay of potency
Chemical stability
determined by the use of viscometer
viscosity
determined spectrophotometrically at a particular wavelength.
color
subjective evaluation by the formulator, taste panel
odor and taste
A liquid dosage form that consists of solid particles
dispersed throughout a liquid phase.
SUSPENSION
a coarse
dispersion in which internal phase (therapeutically
active ingredient)is dispersed uniformly
throughout the external phase.
SUSPENSION
The internal phase consisting of insoluble solid particles having a range of size(0.5 to 5 microns) which is maintained uniformly through out the
suspending vehicle with aid of single or
combination of suspending agent
SUSPENSION
The external phase (suspending medium) is
generally aqueous in some instance, may be an
organic or oily liquid for non oral use.
Suspension
reasons for the formulation of a pharmaceutical
suspension:
- when the drug is insoluble in the delivery
vehicle. - To mask the bitter taste of the drug.
- To increase drug stability. - To achieve controlled/sustained drug release.
QUALITY CONTROL TEST FOR SUSPENSION
Sedimentation volume
Test for Redispersibility
Particulate Size Measurement
Viscosity (rheological/property)
Zeta Potential determination
Temperature and Gravitational stress
