Abstract

Three different anionic polymers namely Eudragit S 100, Eudragit L 100-55 (methacrylic acid copolymers), and sodium carboxymethylcellulose (NaCMC) were used to evaluate the propranolol hydrochloride-anionic polymer interaction. The physical and chemical properties of propranolol hydrochloride and anionic polymer complex were investigated using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The DSC profiles demonstrated that the characteristic peak of propranolol hydrochloride cannot be found in the heating curve of the complexes, indicating that complex is different in physicochemical properties from the physical mixture of drug-polymer. The FTIR spectra also confirmed that there is an interaction between propranolol hydrochloride and methacrylic acid copolymers. The binding of the drug to the polymers was due to the existence of preferential hydrogen bonding between the amino group of the propranolol hydrochloride and the carboxylic functions of the polymers and that pH conditions can influence this binding.

Development and application of methods for determination of residual monomer in dental acrylic resins using high performance liquid chromatography.

Two high-performance liquid chromatographic methods for determination of residual monomer in dental acrylic resins are described. Monomers were detected by their UV absorbance at 230 nm, on a Nucleosil C18 (5 microm particle size, 100 A pore size, 15 x 0.46 cm i.d.) column. The separation was performed using acetonitrile-water (55:45 v/v) containing 0.01% triethylamine (TEA) for methyl methacrylate and butyl methacrylate, and acetonitrile-water (60:40 v/v) containing 0.01% TEA for isobutyl methacrylate and 1,6-hexanediol dimethacrylate as mobile phases, at a flow rate of 0.8 mL/min. Good linear relationships were obtained in the concentration range 5.0-80.0 microg/mL for methyl methacrylate, 10.0-160.0 microg/mL for butyl methacrylate, 50.0-500.0 microg/mL for isobutyl methacrylate and 2.5-180.0 microg/mL for 1,6-hexanediol dimethacrylate. Adequate assay for intra- and inter-day precision and accuracy was observed during the validation process. An extraction procedure to remove residual monomer from the acrylic resins was also established. Residual monomer was obtained from broken specimens of acrylic disks using methanol as extraction solvent for 2 h in an ice-bath. The developed methods and the extraction procedure were applied to dental acrylic resins, tested with or without post-polymerization treatments, and proved to be accurate and precise for the determination of residual monomer content of the materials evaluated.

Influence of polymerization method, curing process, and length of time of storage in water on the residual methyl methacrylate content in dental acrylic resins.

This study compared the influence of different polymerization methods (heat, auto-, and microwave energy), different curing processes (in the case of heat- and autopolymerized specimens), and length of storage of the polymerized specimens in distilled water at 37 degrees C on the residual methyl methacrylate (MMA) content in dental acrylic resin specimens. Residual MMA of 120 resin specimens were measured using high-performance liquid chromatography. For the heat-polymerized resins, the lowest residual MMA content was obtained when they were given a long-term terminal boil and then stored in the distilled water for at least 1 day. For the autopolymerized resins, the lowest residual MMA content was obtained when they were additionally cured in water at 60 degrees C and then stored in the distilled water at least 1 day. For the microwave-polymerized resins, the lowest residual MMA content was obtained when they were stored in the distilled water at least 1 month. The lowest overall residual MMA content was obtained from heat-polymerized specimens that were given a long-term terminal boil cure and then stored in the distilled water at least 1 day. Different polymerization methods and curing processes have different effects on residual MMA content. It is thus shown that storing a dental acrylic resin specimen in distilled water at 37 degrees C is a simple but effective method of reducing its residual MMA content.

[Quantitative evaluation of acrylic and silicone intraocular lenses with a sharp optic edge design].

BACKGROUND: At the Department of Ophthalmology, Heidelberg, Germany, posterior capsule opacification (PCO) of a silicone and an acrylic intraocular lens (IOL) with a sharp optic edge design was evaluated. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In a prospective study either the AMO ClariFlex silicone IOL or the Sensar AR40e hydrophobic acrylic IOL were implanted in 47 patients following uneventful phacoemulsification. Mean patient age was 76.2+/-7.8 (ClariFlex) and 73.4+/-12.9 years (AR40e), respectively. The mean follow-up time was 19.7+/-5.34 in the ClariFlex and 21.9+/-1.89 months in the AR40e group. PCO development was evaluated postoperatively using the EPCO 2000 analysis software (scale 0-4). Areas of interest were the total IOL optic, the central 3-mm zone as well as the capsulorhexis. RESULTS: In both groups, all patients achieved a BCVA of 20/32 (AR40e) and 20/25 (ClariFlex), respectively. There was a very low incidence of PCO development with a mean EPCO score of 0.07+/-0.2 (ClariFlex and 0.15+/-0.2 (AR40e). Within the 3-mm zone and the capsulorhexis, there was a tendency for even lower EPCO scores in both groups. We calculated a statistically significant difference for the two lens materials for all investigated IOL areas (Wilcoxon's test, p<0.05). CONCLUSION: Both IOLs with a sharp edge design showed good functional results, a stable position in the capsular bag as well as a low incidence of PCO development. However, the silicone IOL showed statistically significantly lower PCO scores.
