This book was released on 2019-08-07 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the Semi-solid Microstructure Workshop sponsored by BASF and hosted by the Rutgers Center for Dermal Research, a pharmaceutical product development working group was formed. The group, known as the Q3 Working Group, selected the following five areas of focus: Particle/Globule Size and Distribution, Viscosity/Rheology/Spreadability, In Vitro Testing, State of API, State of Excipients. A committee was appointed for each of these five areas. The committees were tasked to review the literature, identify best practices, list experimental details required for an independent lab to duplicate the test, and propose scientific studies that may meaningfully advance this specific area of focus. Each committee has a chair (or co-chairs) that are the lead author(s) of the chapter. The Q3 Working Group members serve as the critical reviewers of each chapter, making suggestions that improve the quality of the document and that make each of the five chapters uniform in scope and content.Pharmaceutical development scientists that formulate topical products (creams, lotions, gels suspensions, foams, etc) and all the allied raw material suppliers, packaging suppliers, contract laboratories including CROs, CMOs and regulators need access to this book. Overall, the topic of semisolid microstructure is of equal importance to the generic pharmaceutical companies (filing Abbreviated New Drug Applications or ANDAs) and pharmaceutical companies filing New Drug Applications (NDAs). In addition to products applied to the skin, hair, and nails, The Role of Microstructure in Topical Drug Product Development’ crosses over and is essential reading to developers of oral suspensions, ophthalmic ointments and gels, otic suspension, vaginal semisolids and retention enemas.

This book was released on 2020-07-21 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pain is both a symptom and a disease. It manifests in multiple forms and its treatment is complex. Physical, social, economic, and emotional consequences of pain can impair an individual's overall health, well-being, productivity, and relationships in myriad ways. The impact of pain at a population level is vast and, while estimates differ, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that 50 million U.S. adults are living in pain. In terms of pain's global impact, estimates suggest the problem affects approximately 1 in 5 adults across the world, with nearly 1 in 10 adults newly diagnosed with chronic pain each year. In recent years, the issues surrounding the complexity of pain management have contributed to increased demand for alternative strategies for treating pain. One such strategy is to expand use of topical pain medicationsâ€"medications applied to intact skin. This nonoral route of administration for pain medication has the potential benefit, in theory, of local activity and fewer systemic side effects. Compounding is an age-old pharmaceutical practice of combining, mixing, or adjusting ingredients to create a tailored medication to meet the needs of a patient. The aim of compounding, historically, has been to provide patients with access to therapeutic alternatives that are safe and effective, especially for people with clinical needs that cannot otherwise be met by commercially available FDA-approved drugs. Compounded Topical Pain Creams explores issues regarding the safety and effectiveness of the ingredients in these pain creams. This report analyzes the available scientific data relating to the ingredients used in compounded topical pain creams and offers recommendations regarding the treatment of patients.

Book Investigation of Microemulsions and Their Microstructures for Transdermal and Dermal Drug Delivery

Download or read book Investigation of Microemulsions and Their Microstructures for Transdermal and Dermal Drug Delivery written by Ji Zhang and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drug delivery through the skin, transdermally and topically, offers many advantages including reduced systemic toxicity and side-effects, avoidance of the hepatic first pass metabolism, improved patient compliance, enabling sustained or controlled drug release, and enhanced delivery to local target tissues. However, there are many challenges for this route of administration, the major one is the skin barrier function to drug permeation. Many different approaches have been studied and used for enhancing the drug skin permeation. Among them, chemical permeation enhancers and microemulsion formulations are some of widely studied approaches. The thesis work focused on microemulsion (ME) formulations for enhancing transdermal or dermal drug delivery. Specifically, the ME microstructures were investigated and correlated with enhancement effects of drug skin permeation or skin deposition. The results showed that a critical factor influencing ME formulation behavior was the water content that also correlated to the formulation microstructure, and the drug skin permeation increased significantly corresponding to the microstructure change from W/O, to Bi-continuous, and to O/W. This was the first time that this phenomenon had been systematically studied and reported, the microstructure of a microemulsion affected both hydrophobic and hydrophilic model drugs' transdermal permeation. The extent of trandermal permeation enhancement effect was more significant for hydrophobic drugs than hydrophilic drugs as water content increased and the corresponding microstructure changed in the ME formulation. Furthermore, at fixed water content, increasing oil content would result in higher transdermal permeation enhancement. The model drugs used in the study were lidocaine, ketoprofen, and caffeine, which represented compounds of varied physical and chemical properties. The findings were of practical significance for microemulsion formulation design and development in transdermal drug delivery. Secondly, in the present study, a combination of analytical methodologies was utilized to examine microemulsion microstructures. It was found that the cooling thermogram generated by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) provided a simple approach for microstructure determination, which to the author's knowledge, had not been reported before. Extensive DSC cooling experiments had been conducted to analyze three ME systems that had their microstructure characterized and known in the literature. It was showed that DSC derived microstructure results were in complete concordance with literature reports, and thus demonstrated that the cooling DSC method was an effective analytical technique for ME microstructure assessment. The results also showed that the DSC method provided additional advantages over conventional methods for being sensitive, accurate, and versatile. The developed cooling DSC methodology for ME microstructure analysis would greatly facilitate ME formulation characterization and development in the future. Finally, dermal delivery of hydrophobic drugs by microemulsion (ME) formulations and effect from ME microstructures were studied. The antifungal drug, clotrimazole (CLOT), was used as the model compound. ME formulations of different microstructures were prepared along water dilution line at fixed oil/(surfactant and co-surfactant) ratio of 1/9 (w/w) using isopropyl myristate as oil, Labrasol and Cremophor EL as surfactant and co-surfactant, and water. Permeation experiments on human cadaver skin were conducted for ME and the control formulations of different CLOT loads. Dermal delivery of CLOT assessed by the dermal drug concentrations was found to be significantly higher for MEs when compared with the control formulation, and the highest concentration was observed with O/W ME, suggesting ME microstructure was an important formulation variable for enhancing dermal delivery. ME gel formulations prepared by incorporating 1.0% (w/w) of Carbopol 980 showed comparable dermal CLOT concentration to MEs but up to 2.4 fold higher than the commercial CLOT cream product, Lotrimin®. Furthermore, FITC used as a model compound for highly hydrophobic drugs, was also studied for its dermal delivery by MEs in porcine skin penetration experiments. Results showed a consistent ME microstructure effect, suggested by significantly higher FITC concentrations in all skin layers, stratum corneum, viable epidermis, and dermis, from O/W ME over Bi-continuous and W/O MEs. Results from the present study highlighted ME microstructure effect on ME dermal delivery of hydrophobic drugs, and provided insight to drug dermal retention and transdermal permeation enhancements and their interplay.
