A new atomizer that operates with ultrasonic energy is described. This apparatus is intended to obtain microparticulate drug delivery systems through spray-congealing or spray-drying technologies. In this work, some experimental results are reported on model systems submitted to spray-congealing. The formulations under examination contained theophylline and fenbufen as model drugs and stearic acid, carnauba wax, Cutina HR(R) and Compritol 888 ATO(R) as low melting excipients. Non-aggregate and spherical-shaped microparticles were obtained with all the materials tested; moreover, they had smooth surface and good flowability. The particle sizes depend on the amount of drug present and in each case the maximum size value of the distribution frequency was found to be 375 mu. In vitro release of the drug depends on its solubility and on the excipient lipophilicity. The results suggest that the ultrasound-assisted atomizer could be proposed as a possible alternative to traditional atomizers used for spray-congealing in the pharmaceutical field.
The adaptation of diverse organic reactions to solid supports requires significant reaction optimization efforts. A convenient on-support analytical method functionally similar to TLC in solution chemistry is very advantageous. As a TLC-equivalent method, the single bead FTIR is a simple, sensitive, fast, and convenient analytical method to monitor SPOS without stopping the reaction or cleaving the product. As with TLC, single bead FTIR provides a wide range of information such as qualitative assessment, quantitative determination, and reaction kinetics. Studies with the single bead FTIR have not only provided a tool for daily monitoring of the solid-phase reactions, but a way to understand the properties of polymer-bound substrate and the nature of polymer-supported organic reactions. It has assisted in the selection of a wide range of reaction conditions rapidly for SPOS in the rehearsal phase of combinatorial chemistry. Due to its convenience and efficiency, FTIR internal reflection spectroscopy has evolved as a useful analytical methodology for monitoring of combinatorial chemistry reactions directly on polymer surface.
In the past few years, the emergence of combinatorial chemistry has drawn increasing attention and a great deal of analytical research has been centered around this new methodology. These new methods capable of producing vast numbers of samples, which are in many cases highly complex, demand fast and reliable analytical techniques able to provide high quality information concerning sample compositions. Mass spectrometry (MS) is the method of choice to face these analytical challenges. In particular, the introduction of electrospray ionization (ESI and matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) have been the driving forces for many of the recent innovations, not only within the fields of the biosciences, but also in combinatorial chemistry. These ionization techniques are extremely versatile for the characterization of both single compound collections and compound mixture collections. The high-throughput capabilities, as well as many possible couplings with separation techniques (HPLC, CE) have been thus facilitated. However, mass spectrometry is not only limited to use as an instrument for synthesis control, but also plays an increasing role in the identification of active compounds from complex libraries. Recently, new initiatives for library analysis and screening have arisen from the application of the latest developments in mass spectrometry, Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR).
