Cards

Term
Pulmonary Delivery (PD) adv
Definition
avoid first pass (increase F)
rapid onset (increased SA)
reduced dose and S/E
convenient
metered dose (improved compliances)
stable and secure
Term
Disadv of PD
Definition
expensive
disposal
propellant toxicity (ozone)
irritation
Term
Ciliated mucous cells
Definition
filter air and sallow the particles
Term
uses of PD
Definition
anaesthesia
Asthma and COPD (B2 agonist, cortico, mast cell stabilisers
Cystic fibrosis: acetycysteine, recombinant human deoxyribonuclease
pulmonary infections: Relenza for flu, pentamidine for HIV
Term
difficulty in PD
Definition
hard to get more than 20% of dose in lungs therefore particle size is important.
Term
remove air from inhaled air
Definition
inertial forces
gravity/sedimentation, diffusion
Term
physiochemical aerosol characteristics
Definition
particle size/diameter
particle size/diameter variability
charge
respiratory tract anatomy/physiology
variability (disease changes)
surface properties
extent of aggregation
Term
lung Anatomy
Definition
conducting zone: trachea, to terminal bronchioles
Transitional and respiratory zones: respiratory bronchioles and aveoli
Term
forces involved in PD
Definition
electrostatic attraction
interception
impaction
gravitational settling
Brownian diffusion
Term
propellants types
Definition
Liqueifed gas
compressed gas
Term
Liquefied gases used in MDI are:
Definition
CFCs also known as freons
HC
HFCs
HFAs
Term
Compressed gases used in oxygen tanks
Definition
CO2
nitrogen
NO
Term
liquefied gas propellant properties
Definition
gas at RT and AT
liquid at increase pressure and discharge
pressure the same regardless of half empty or full
VP; is higher in MDI than surface sprays
VP uses ROAULTS law or DALTONS law to control it
Term
nomenclature of CFC and HFC
Definition
1= C atom -1 (omitted if 0)
2= H atoms + 1
3= F atoms
a= letter added to ID isomers
Term
CFCs
Definition
Bp -30 to +24
high VP= fine mist
Low VP= surface spray
non flammable
low toxicity
good stability
poor solvents
pollution damage (ozone)
Term
HFCs
Definition
no Cl (ok for ozone, but still a greenhouse gas)
non toxic
non flammable
less stable than CFC
more polar that CFC
HFC 134 is finer than HFC227
Term
Nasal delivery (ND)
Definition
gives good absorption of small drugs
reasonable F for small peptides (calcitonin and desmopression)
NALT: potential route for vaccines
possible nose to brain delivery
Term
Nasal routes
Definition
5 layers
nasal vestibule
nasal cavity (increased SA)
mucous membrane with columnar (cilia for mucociliary clearance)
rich blood flow
nasal secretion of adult 5.5-6.5
5 regions: nasal vestibule
palae
inferior turbinate
middle turbinate
superior turbinate
nasopharynx
Term
Adv of ND
Definition
lge SA (150cm2 microvilli)
highly vascular and porous
avoid first pass
easily accessible
pulsatile delivery possible
Term
Disadv of ND
Definition
mucocilliary Clearance
high enz activity
F decrease with MW >1000Da
ciliated epithelium easily damage
nostril volume is small
Term
nasal formulation
Definition
Aqueous based
Spray, drops, MDI
local Tx
rapid systemic delivery: migraine (sumatriptan), diabetes insipidis (desmopression), prostate cancer, smoking cessation
mucoadhesion and penetration enhancers
Term
factors affecting ND absorption
Definition
MW
partition coefficient
solubility and dissolution rate
volume and conc of dosage
viscosity of formulation
droplet size
Term
considerations
Definition
control pH (Na citrate)
tonicity (NaCl, glucose)
vehicle/ co-solvent (propylene glycol)
Antioxidant (butylated hydroxytoluene)
preservative (benzoalkonium Cl)
viscosity agent (methylcellulose)
Term
Proteins and peptide via ND
Definition
Proteins MW F species
octreotide: 991 18% human
Desmopression 1183 9-20 human
GHRH 3358 3-5 human
insulin 5808 0.9-0.3 rat/rabbit
