ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To optimize the preparation technology of poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) microspheres loaded with ropivacaine (ROP-PLGA-MS) and study their powder particle characteristics and in vitro release characteristics. METHODS: ROP-PLGA-MS was prepared with PLGA as carriers using the water-in-oil-in-water(W/O/W) emulsion solvent evaporation method. The micromeritic characteristics of ROP-PLGA-MS,such as the particle size,loading and entrapment efficiency were taken as indexes for evaluation,and the preparation technology was optimized by orthogonal design. Its dissolution characteristics in vitro were studied. RESULTS: The prepared microspheres were spherical with smooth surfaces,with an average particle size of (2.525?0.047) ?m and over 80% falling in the range of 1.8～5.0 ?m. The encapsulation efficiency was (58.05?1.169)% and the drug loading efficiency was (6.067 ?0.312)%. The in vitro release curves of ropivacaine microspheres could be fitted with Higuchi equation. The accumulated release percentage of which was 82 % in 192 h,and t1/2=60.16 h. CONCLUSION: ROP-PLGA-MS has obvious sustained release.
ABSTRACT
Objective To optimize the preparation of nanoparticles encapsulating antisense oligodeoxynucleotides in a-butyleyanoacrylate carrier (ASODN in NP) and investigate their stability. Methods ASODN in NP were prepared by interfacial polymerization of butyleyanoacrylate (BCA). The formulation and technology of the prepared NP was optimized by using orthogonal design based on the single-factor experiment. The morphology of NP was examined by transmission electron microscope; The size and size distribution of NP were determined by Malvern laser granularity equipment;The encapsulation efficiency and drug loading were determined by HPLC; The ability of protecting oligodeoxynucleotides from serum was investigated on a 20% polyacrylamide-7 Murea sequencing gel (PAGE). Results The nanoparticles in the optimal conditions were of regular spherical surface and discrete. The average size was 97.1 nm,the average encapsulation efficiency and drug loading of ASODN in NP were 96.7% and 10.1% respectively; The oligonucleotides were more efficiently protected from degradation by nucleases than by oligonucleotides adsorbed into nanospheres.Conclusion ASODN in NP has good stability,encapsulation efficiency,drug loading and great potential for ASODN delivery.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To optimize the preparation technology of Ginkgo biloba extracts-hydroxyprop-?-cyclodextrin(GBE-HP-?-CD) inclusion compounds and to identify this inclusion compound.METHODS:The optimum preparation condition was studied by orthogonal test with encapsulation rate as the index of evaluation.The inclusion compounds were prepared with solution-agitating technique.The inclusion compounds were identified by phase solubility diagra-m,differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) and infrared spectroscopy methods,respectively.RESULTS:The optimum inclusion condition was as follows:the ratio of GBE to HP-?-CD=1.5∶1;agitating time=6 h;inclusion temperature=50 ℃.CONCLUSION:It has been preliminarily proved that it is possible for Ginkgo biloba extracts and hydroxyprop-?-cyclodextrin to be made into inclusion compounds.HP-?-CD has satisfactory solublization on Ginkgo biloba extracts.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To discuss the role of clinical pharmacists participating in successful treatment of critically ill children with Influenza A (H1N1). METHODS:Considering patients' conditions,clinical pharmacists participated in drug treatment in respect of pharmacokinetics,pharmacodynamics,drug interactions and adverse drug reactions and so on. RESULTS:Combining with advantages of grade three class A comprehensive hospital,medical treatments had been achieved by multidisciplinary corporation. The symptoms of children under critically care disappeared completely and all test indicators returned normal so that critically ill children were cured. CONCLUSION:Clinical pharmacist is an important component of the medical team. Therefore,clinical pharmacists participating in clinical drug treatment can improve clinical efficacy and safety of drug treatment.
