Abstract

The purpose of this review is to update the information on multiple emulsions known to be promising delivery systems for both pharmaceuticals and cosmetic materials. The possibility of encapsulating active substances within liquid membranes may lead to interesting opportunities in both fields. Thus the formulation, manufacturing, stabilization, analysis and potential application of multiple emulsions seems to be worth surveying, putting a special emphasis on cosmetic applications.

Investigation of response factor ruggedness for the determination of drug impurities using high-performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection.

Quantification of impurities in drug substances and dosage forms using HPLC assays with UV detection is often done by comparison to a standard of the drug itself. Depending on the spectra of the compounds involved, small changes in wavelength may cause response factors to vary from day to day and instrument to instrument. Lack of assay ruggedness with respect to wavelength can lead to poor reproducibility of results. Response factor ruggedness was investigated for potential impurities in LY297802 tartrate, a potent muscarinic agonist. The UV responses of some impurities at 280 nm, the analytical detection wavelength, differ from that of the parent and change significantly with small shifts in wavelength. The ruggedness of response factors was examined on a single detector and among several different detectors. Results varied significantly among the different detectors. The UV spectra of the impurities could be used to predict the effect of wavelength on ruggedness of response. A wavelength system suitability sample is proposed as a way to overcome variability due to small differences in detector wavelength.

Cytarabine trapping in poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) hydrogels: drug delivery studies.

The release of cytarabine (ara-c) from poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) hydrogels cross-linked with different amounts of ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) has been studied. The drug (range 5-25 mg) was trapped in polymer discs by including it in the feed mixture of polymerization. The drug delivery was followed by HPLC. The release was in accordance with Fickian behaviour. Total release of ara-C was reached after between 3 and 7 days depending on the percentage of EGDMA in the gels. A constant release rate of ara-C from the hydrogels was obtained, the time depending on the degree of cross-linking of the gels: 22 h for gels with 0.5% EGDMA, 32 h for gels with 5% EGDMA and 42 h for gels with 7% EGDMA; the amount of ara-C released being 50%, 80% and 85%, respectively, of the drug load of the gel discs. An increase of the release rate with the disc load was observed for each sort of hydrogel. Neither during the loading of the gels nor right through the drug release was degradation of ara-C observed.

Evaluation of the efficacy of a 3.2% glutaraldehyde product for disinfection of fibreoptic endoscopes with an automatic machine.

The efficacy of 'Cidex Plus' 3.2% alkaline glutaraldehyde was evaluated for the disinfection of fibreoptic endoscopes. The glutaraldehyde concentration in 'Cidex Plus', stored in an automatic machine (Olympus EW-20), remained higher than 2% (2.21%) even after a total of 102 disinfection cycles during 28 consecutive days. The results of the in-vitro study on antimicrobial activity showed that this alkaline glutaraldehyde product had a greater activity against 20 test organisms, including vegetative bacteria, bacterial spores, mycobacteria, and fungi, than 2% glutaraldehyde alone. The presence of 10 or 30% human serum did not appear to affect the activity of glutaraldehyde adversely. Instrument samples made from a variety of materials such as stainless steel, glass, teflon, etc. were not damaged after 168 h of immersion in alkaline glutaraldehyde, although it contained approximately 1.7 times more glutaraldehyde than 2% glutaraldehyde alone. Based on these results, 3.2% alkaline glutaraldehyde is considered to be a more effective disinfectant for fibreoptic endoscopes, with the use of an automatic machine, than 2% glutaraldehyde.
