A flocculated system settles very rapidly not allowing enough time for accurate dosing. what would you try first to fix
d) add a wetting agent
wetting agent is used to make a flocculated system
C) use homogenizer to better breakdown the drug particle
RUIN the flocculated suspension??
B) increase viscosity
flocculated solution is a very loose suspension thus increasing viscosity will allow the drug to settle in a slower rate. giving more time for accurate dosing
A)reduce particle size of disperse phase
we already have a flocculated system! change is particle size can affect the flocculated systemm
disadvantage
lack drug stability data
cause clumps floating around
promote loose settling
fast settling but "fluffy" ( loose structure) = Floc
easily redistributed
we cannot prevent settling might as well control it
process to form "floc", a loose structure due to particle settling very fast
weak particle particle forces
artificially form when particle settle to re disperse
made by additive
adjusting pH and electrolytes
most sophisticated
promote int interactions for particle to repple and prevent from clumping forming cake
Suractants
done by wetting
prevents particle from sticking
clays
cons: add volume
interfere with other particle creating barrier thus help support the floc structure once it forms
dissolution of drug
bad tase
prevent particles from sticking to each other
creating a barrier to avoid "caking"
amphiphilic
cover particles and form a bridge between the lipophilic particle and the hydrophilic medium
always a suspension
settle under gravity
over 1 micron
may look like solution
suspension/solution
typically do not settle under gravity b/c so small that particle remain suspended
< 1micron
nanometer range
fastes growing
suspension limitation in the blood is the particle size of the drug.
must be low particle size == looks like solution
particle size can be determined by light transmission through the suspension
large particle size = light does not passes through
small particle size = light passes through
liposomal doxorubicin
most common insulin zinc suspension
lotion
most common
oral suspensionn better flexibility in dosing than oral tablet
WILL eventually settle over time
drug molecule surrounded by drug molecule
Particles( clubs) surrounded by water molecule
thus easily redistributed
FLOC
overtime viscosity increases
under high stress become less viscous
thixotropy is a good vehicle
over time viscosity increases
high stress --> less viscous
easy to disperse
adjusted via addition
thickening agent
suspending agent
adjusted in accordance to particle size and density to minimize sedimentation rate
particle density
WANT particle density to be a little but lower than medium
Density of particle a >> than medium
Density of particle less than medium (water)
float
WANT the particle size to be as narrow as possible
10 x increase in particle size results in 100x increase in sedimentation rate
too large
easy to re-disperse
fast to settle
too small
will form cake
slow to settle
