Abstract

When this procedure is followed carefully, a strip of 0.0005-inch shim stock meets resistance when an attempt is made to withdraw it from between the teeth in occlusion and the incisal pin and its table simultaneously. Therefore, it is possible to process complete dentures by using compression molding and external heat for polymerization. The procedure involves a precise step-by-step method with particular emphasis on (1) investing properly in dental stone, (2) packing only one denture at a time with only one mix of acrylic resin, (3) using minimum packing pressure with maximum flow time, (4) trial packing until no flash is evident, and (5) careful deflasking.

A pH-dependent colon targeted oral drug delivery system using methacrylic acid copolymers. I. Manipulation Of drug release using Eudragit L100-55 and Eudragit S100 combinations.

Lactose-based placebo tablets were coated using various combinations of two methacrylic acid copolymers, Eudragit L100-55 and Eudragit S100, by spraying from aqueous systems. The Eudragit L100-55-Eudragit S100 combinations (w/w) studied were 1:0, 4:1, 3:2, 1:1, 2:3, 1:4, 1:5 and 0:1. The coated tablets were tested in vitro for their suitability for pH dependent colon targeted oral drug delivery. The same coating formulations were then applied on tablets containing mesalazine as a model drug and evaluated for in vitro dissolution rates under various conditions. The disintegration data obtained from the placebo tablets demonstrate that disintegration rate of the studied tablets is dependent on: (i) the polymer combination used to coat the tablets, (ii) pH of the disintegration media, and (iii) the coating level of the tablets. Dissolution studies performed on the mesalazine tablets further confirmed that the release profiles of the drug could be manipulated by changing the Eudragit L100-55 and Eudragit S100 ratios within the pH range of 5.5 to 7.0 in which the individual polymers are soluble respectively, and a coating formulation consisting of a combination of the two copolymers can overcome the issue of high gastrointestinal (GI) pH variability among individuals. The results also demonstrated that a combination of Eudragit L100-55 and Eudragit S100 can be successfully used from aqueous system to coat tablets for colon targeted delivery of drugs and the formulation can be adjusted to deliver drug at any other desirable site of the intestinal region of the GI tract on the basis of pH-variability. For colon targeted delivery of drugs the proposed combination system is superior to tablets coated with either Eudragit L100-55 or Eudragit S100 alone.

A novel phosphatidylglycerol-selective phospholipase A2 from macrophages.

In our recent studies on the synthesis of bis(monoacylglycero)phosphate (BMP), we postulated that the first step involved a PLA2 that cleaved the 2-acyl group from phosphatidylglycerol (PG). In the present study, a novel lysosomal PLA2 was partially purified and characterized from RAW 264.7, macrophage like cells. Cells were homogenized and delipidated, and the PLA2 activity in the soluble fraction was purified by Sephacryl S100 and DEAE Sephacel. Further purification was performed using Con-A Sepharose, Phenyl Sepharose, DEAE Sephacel, and Superdex 75 FPLC. The enzyme at this stage of purification showed a dominant band around 45 kDa plus several minor bands on SDS-PAGE. The molecular mass determined by Superdex 75 column FPLC was about 45 kDa. The highly purified fraction hydrolyzed at the sn-1 position, implying that this PLA2 also has some intrinsic PLA1 activity. This enzyme preferentially hydrolyzed PG, has an acidic pH optima, and does not require divalent metal ions. Comparison using PG with various acyl chains on the sn-2 position showed that oleate and linoleate were preferred relative to arachidonate. MAFP, a known cytosolic PLA2 inhibitor, strongly inhibited this PLA2 activity. MJ33, AACOCF3, DENP, and Amiodarone also gave moderate inhibition. The characteristics of this enzyme showed this to be a new type of PLA, and the overwhelming preference for PG as substrate suggests its physiological role is in the biosynthesis of BMP.

Incorporation of polymeric nanoparticles into solid dosage forms.

Besides parenteral delivery, polymeric nanoparticles have been used for oral drug delivery. In this study, model polymeric nanoparticles (aqueous colloidal polymer dispersions: Eudragit(R) RL 30D, L 30D, NE 30D, or Aquacoat(R)) with different physicochemical properties were incorporated into various solid dosage forms (granules, tablets, pellets or films). The compatibility of the nanoparticles with commonly used tabletting excipients and the redispersibility of the nanoparticles after contact of the solid dosage forms with aqueous media were investigated. Ideally, the nanoparticles should be released from the solid dosage forms with their original properties. The addition of polymeric binders (e.g. polyvinylpyrrolidone, Na carboxymethylcellulose or hydroxypropyl methylcellulose) to the aqueous nanoparticle dispersions prior to wet granulation resulted in phase separation (depletion or bridging flocculation) for many nanoparticle/binder systems. Two critical parameters for the complete redispersibility/release of the nanoparticles with the original particle size properties from the solid dosage forms were a (1) high minimum film formation temperature (MFT) of the polymer dispersion and (2) a good wettability of the dried polymeric nanoparticles. Nanoparticle dispersions with a low MFT were not redispersible, they coalesced into larger agglomerates/films during the drying step. Contact angle measurements correlated well with the redispersibility of the nanoparticles, with ethylcellulose particles having high contact angles and poor redispersibility and Eudragit(R) RL, a polymer stabilized with quaternary ammonium groups, having low contact angles and good redispersibility.
