Conditions of cyclodextrin complexation.

In the past 20 years, cyclodextrin (CD) research has achieved considerable results, as indicated by the large number of publications and patents, the six international symposia on CDs, the new dosage forms of medicines prepared with CDs, etc. Sufficient data have accumulated to permit a survey of the most important conditions of CD complexation. Further, an account is presented of the success of precipitation of the complex involving furosemide and beta-CD.

Formulation of polyethylene glycol ointment bases suitable for tropical and subtropical climates. I.

The present study dealt with the investigation of the physical characteristics of 18 polyethylene glycol ointment bases with the aim of finding out their suitability for use in tropical and subtropical climates. Different ratios of low and high molecular weight polyethylene glycols were helpful for preparation of these ointment bases. The investigated physical characteristics included the drop point, the congealing range and the spreadability properties of bases. The drop point was determined by the Ubbelohde apparatus, the congealing range by the double-walled Zhuckov flask, penetrability by penetrometer, and spreadability by the parallel plate extensometer. The results of these physical parameters indicated that PEG 400:PEG 4000 blend gave very good bases for use in tropical and subtropical areas. Furthermore, it was observed that, the type and the amount of PEG used would affect greatly the drop point, congealing range and consistency of the prepared bases. Results obtained with PEG 2000 and PEG 6000 bases showed less variability with respect to molecular weight and solid content.

Formulation of Polyethylene Glycol ointment bases suitable for tropical and subtropical climates. II.

Attention has been focused on the suitability of PEG ointment bases in tropical and subtropical regions. Penetrometer studies were carried out at 33, 37 and 50 degrees C respectively. Penetrometer experiments indicate that the type and amount of PEG will greatly affect the penentration time, and a large number of selected PEGs showed softening in the second month. Rotovisco experiments were conducted at 35 and 45 degrees C. Experiments conducted by Rotovisco at 35 degrees C indicate that PEG bases exhibit plastic flow and rheopexy, and there is an increase in yield values during the twelve months. Experiments worked out by Rotovisco at 45 degrees C reflected that an increase in temperature resulted in a decrease in rheopexy, viscosity, area of histeresis loop and yield values. Results obtained by the two methods demonstrate that PEG 4000 in the presence of equal amounts of PEG 400 has a good texture and might be a suitable ointment base for tropical and subtropical areas.

Biopharmaceutical studies on sulphadimidine modifications.

The authors studied sulphadimidine crystal forms with particular reference to the occurrence of polymorphism. They were able to differentiate five crystalline forms by microscopic examination. Differential thermal analysis and IR absorption spectral methods were not reliable. The data from X-ray diffraction patterns of two crystal forms (methanol form I, ethanol form II) were reproducible by estimating their relative intensities. The crystal forms investigated were compared by in vitro and in vivo experiments. Experiments showed that sulphadimidine crystals recrystallized from ethanol had better dissolution and absorption characteristics than sulphadimidine crystals recrystallized from methanol.
