Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To solve the problem of CO2 concentration and collection in solid amine CO2 control system for long-duration spacecraft cabin. METHOD: One approach was presented on the base of the principle of absorption and desorption, and was then tested by the apparatus according to it. RESULT: The average concentration of the concentrated CO2 was as high as 95%, which can be directly sent to the CO2 reduction system, and about 90% of the concentrated CO2 can be collected. CONCLUSION: The designed apparatus met the requirements of the CO2 reduction system.

Microemulsion formulation for enhanced absorption of poorly soluble drugs. I. Prescription design.

Microemulsion formulations, which can be used to improve the bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs, were designed using only pharmaceutical excipients. Several types of oils and surfactants were tested and it was found that propyleneglycol monoalkyl ester and glycerol monoalkyl ester were solubilized easily in an aqueous medium by various types of surfactants. Although propyleneglycol dialkyl ester was difficult to be solubilized, the solubility was significantly enhanced by mixing it with glycerol monoalkyl ester at the ratio of 1:1. The most suitable surfactants for preparing microemulsion formulations were HCO-40, HCO-60, Tween 80, BL-9EX and Pluronic P84. The use of additional surfactants such as sodium dodecyl sulfate or sodium deoxycholate significantly improved the solubilization capacity of the oils, although formulations free of these surfactants were also available. These microemulsion formulations can be administered as a form of water-in-oil microemulsion or surfactant-oil mixture, and are expected to convert to oil-in-water microemulsion in the small intestine.

Buccal absorption of ergotamine tartrate using the bioadhesive tablet system in guinea-pigs.

The buccal administration of ergotamine tartrate (ET) combined with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) gel brought about higher plasma concentration of ET compared with that of oral administration of capsules in guinea-pigs. T(max) of ET in plasma of buccal administration was significantly smaller than that of oral administration. For the buccal dosage form of ET, the bioadhesive tablet system (BTS) was newly developed. It consisted of a reservoir of drug and an adhesive region. BTS showed better absorption of ET compared with PVA gel in guinea pigs. Among several pharmaceutical bases in the reservoir of BTS, Witepsol W-35 was most effective. It is likely that the high lipophilic property of Witepsol W-35 in which ET was dissolved facilitated the drug release by its relatively low melting point (around 35 degrees C), consequently a rapid absorption. In addition, the enhancing activity of the cod-liver oil extract (CLOE) in hydrophilic ointment on the in vivo buccal ET absorption was clarified to be comparable to that in the in vitro study utilizing the keratinized epithelial-free membrane (KEF-membrane) of the hamster cheek pouch.
