Dissolution test development for complex veterinary dosage forms: Oral boluses
Journal Title: The AAPS Journal - Year 2002, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Fundamental aspects of electrolyte chemistry were used to design an appropriate dissolution medium with the capacity to maintain sink conditions throughout the test. Dissolution of various bolus dosage forms was studied using USP Apparatus II at various stirring speeds. Complete dissolution of each drug in the designed medium was achieved, and there is evidence that such a dissolution test could be discriminating. This review details the development of potentially discriminating in vitro dissolution tests for veterinary boluses using USP Apparatus II and examines the potential role of such testing during product quality assessments, in the evaluation of postapproval manufacturing changes and for the establishment of the generic equivalence of veterinary products.

L-methionine reduces oxidant stress in endothelial cells: Role of heme oxygenase-1, ferritin, and nitric oxide
The amino acid L-methionine is known to exert antioxidant effects by as yet unidentified mechanisms. In the present study, L-methionine led to a concentration-dependent induction of the antioxidant protein heme oxygenase...
Prediction of the Deposition of Dry Powder Aerosols
The trajectory, mass fluxes, and deposition of aerosolized particles in a complex tubular system have been predicted. A procedure based on Lagrangian stochastic modeling is proposed to enable the anticipation of such phe...
Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy for the analysis of neutralizer-carbomer and surfactant-carbomer interactions in aqueous, hydroalcoholic, and anhydrous gel formulations
The objective of the present study is to evaluate the polymer-surfactant and polymer-neutralizer interactions in topical aqueous, anhydrous, and hydroalcoholic gel formulations using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spe...
Population Pharmacodynamic Modeling of Hyperglycemic Clamp and Meal Tolerance Tests in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
In this study, glucose and insulin concentration–time profiles in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) under meal tolerance test (MTT) and hyperglycemic clamp (HGC) conditions were co-modeled simultaneou...
Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Model of Amphotericin B Disposition in Rats Following Administration of Deoxycholate Formulation (Fungizone®): Pooled Analysis of Published Data
The time course of tissue distribution of amphotericin B (AmB) has not been sufficiently characterized despite its therapeutic importance and an apparent disconnect between plasma pharmacokinetics and clinical outcomes....
