Developing a single analytical method for the estimation of individual drugs in a Polypill is very challenging, due to the formation of drug-drug and drug-excipients interaction impurities. Here an attempt was made to develop a new, sensitive, single stability-indicating HPLC method for the simultaneous quantitative determination of Aspirin (ASP) Atorvastatin (ATV), Atenolol (ATL) and Losartan potassium (LST) in a polypill form in the presence of degradation products. Efficient chromatographic separation was achieved on a C18 stationary phase with simple mobile phase combination of buffer and Acetonitrile. Buffer consists of 0.1% Orthophosphoric acid (pH 2.9), delivered in a gradient mode and quantitation was carried out using ultraviolet detection at 230 nm with a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The retention times of Atenolol, Aspirin, Losartan potassium, and Atorvastatin were 3.3, 7.6, 10.7 and 12.9 min respectively. The combination drug product are exposed to thermal, acid/base hydrolytic, humidity and oxidative stress conditions, and the stressed samples were analyzed by proposed method. The method was validated with respect to linearity;the method was linear in the range of 37.5 to 150.0 μg/mL for ASP, 5.0 to 20.0 μg/mL for ATV and 25.0 to 100.0 μg/mL for ATL and LST. Acceptable precision and accuracy were obtained for concentrations over the standard curve ranges. The validated method was successfully applied to the analysis of Starpill tablets constituting all the four drugs;the percentage recoveries obtained were 99.60% for ASP, 99.30% for ATV, 99.41% for ATL and 99.62% for LST.展开更多

Transdermal drug diffusion enhancers’ ethanol, glycerol, propylene glycol, polysorbate 80 and Dimethyl isosorbide (DMI) were added to the topical formulations and tested for their ability to enhance drug permeation through the test membranes. Topical formulation with penetration enhancers showed a rapid burst of atenolol diffusion for the first two hours (35.5 to 40 μg/ml) followed by a zero-order sustained diffusion of 2.7 μg/cm2/h of atenolol for up to twenty-four hours after application to test membranes. Increased atenolol flux through different test membranes was greatest for synthetic membrane. The topical application of the optimized atenolol formulation to cat skin containing permeation enhancers aided transdermal atenolol drug delivery to treat cats with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. The optimum topical formulation demonstrated two fluxes through cat skin, the burst flux (15.7 μg/cm2/h) and a sustained flux (2.7 μg/cm2/h). Measured atenolol concentrations in cats at 3, 6 and 12 hours after transdermal atenolol application were 432.7 ng/ml ± 323.3, 262.4 ng/ml ± 150.1, and 253.3 ng/ml ± 133.6 respectively. Six of 7 cats achieved therapeutic serum atenolol levels (260 ng/ml) for at least one time point. Five of 7 cats had therapeutic serum atenolol concentrations 3 hours post-atenolol. At the 6 hours post-atenolol time point, only 2 had a therapeutic serum atenolol concentration while at 12 hours post-atenolol dosing, 4 of 7 cats had therapeutic serum atenolol concentrations. Transdermal atenolol administered at 25 mg q12h resulted in clinically therapeutic serum atenolol concentrations in the majority of healthy cats. The optimum transdermal formulation enabled good drug delivery feasible for transdermal application in a clinical trial in cats.展开更多

This product was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Raman spectroscopy. These spectrums proved the existence of nitrogen atoms of amide due to new functional group. The morphology were also determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and showed that this product was synthesized in the nanometer dimension.

Calibration curve studies of working standard solutions of levocetirizine and atenolol (0.01-0.1 mmol) were scanned. Maxima appeared at 231 nm for levocetirizine and 224 nm for atenolol. The calibration curve obeyed Beer Lambert's Law. Lone availabilities of both the drugs were studied in pH 1, pH 4, pH 7.4 and pH 9 at 37℃ on B.P. (British Pharmacopoeia) dissolution apparatus. To study the drug-drug interaction of levocetirizine (5 mg tablet) and atenolol (100 mg tablet), both the drugs were introduced to the dissolution apparatus in simulated gastric juice (pH 1), pH 4, pH 7.4 and pH 9 at 37℃ at zero time and measured the absorbance maxima of both the drugs at the corresponding wavelength. Graphs were plotted for availability percentage (%) of drug versus time at each set of experiment. The availability percentage (%) of levocetirizine in the buffers of pH simulated to gastric pH 4, pH 7.4 and pH 9 in the presence of atenolol was 436.78%, 376.90%, 436.78% and 436.78%, respectively, but the availability of atenolol was increased up to 214.80%, 212.96%, 214.93% and 231.51% in simulated to gastric pH and in the buffers ofpH 4, pH 7.4 and pH 9, respectively. On the basis of these studies, it is concluded that levocetirizine forms a charge-complex with atenolol; therefore, co-administration of these drugs should be avoided.展开更多

The degradation efficiencies under various operational parameters (oxidant dosage, pH, HCO3-, humic acid (HA), NO3- , and Cl-) were compared. Principal factor analysis was also performed with a statistical method for the two processes. It was found that increasing the specific dosage of the two peroxides ([peroxide]0/[ATL]0 ) ranging from 1:1 to 8:1 led to a faster degradation rate but also higher peroxide residual. Within the pH range 3-11, the optimum pH was 7 for the UV/PDS process and elevating pH benefitted the UV/H 2O2 process. The presence of HCO3- , HA, and Cl adversely affected ATL oxidation in both processes. The NO3- concentration 1-3 mmol/L accelerated the destruction of ATL by the UV/PDS process, but further increase of NO3- concentration retarded the degradation process, contrary to the case in the UV/H2O2 process. The rank orders of effects caused by the six operational parameters were pH ≈ specific dosage 〉 [HA]0 〉 [NO3-]0 〉 [HCO3-]0 〉 [Cl-]0 for the UV/H2O2 process and specific dosage 〉 pH 〉 [HA]0 〉 [NO3-]0 〉 [HCO3-]0 〉[Cl-]0 for the UV/PDS process. The UV/PDS process was more sensitive to changes in operational parameters than the UV/H2O2 process but more efficient in ATL removal under the same conditions.展开更多

The differently sulfonated AAP-MMA cross-linked copolymer cationic exchange resins were prepared by sulfonation with concentrated sulphuric acid at 70 ~C. Several characteristics of the prepared resins were evaluated, i.e. FTIR, the ion-exchange capacity (IEC), thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA), particle size distribution and microscopic morphology. The resin characteristics were altered with degree of sulfonation, providing that differently sulfonated resins could be prepared. The behavior of atenolol (ATL) loading and in vitro release in the USP stimulated gastric and intestinal fluids of the obtained resins were evaluated. The drug loaded in the resin increased with increasing degree of sulfonation and hence the drug binding site in resin employed. The drug release was lower from the resins with higher content of sulfonic group due to the increase in the diffusive path depth. The drug release was a little lower in stimulated gastric fluid (SGF) than in stimulated intestinal fluids (SIF). The basic groups, ionized to a little greater extent in SGF and preferred binding with the resin rather than releasing. Hence, the differently sulfonated resins could be utilized as novel carriers for drug delivery.展开更多

文摘UV/H2O2 and UV/peroxodisulfate (PDS) processes were adopted to degrade a typical β-blocker atenolol (ATL). The degradation efficiencies under various operational parameters (oxidant dosage, pH, HCO3-, humic acid (HA), NO3- , and Cl-) were compared. Principal factor analysis was also performed with a statistical method for the two processes. It was found that increasing the specific dosage of the two peroxides ([peroxide]0/[ATL]0 ) ranging from 1:1 to 8:1 led to a faster degradation rate but also higher peroxide residual. Within the pH range 3-11, the optimum pH was 7 for the UV/PDS process and elevating pH benefitted the UV/H 2O2 process. The presence of HCO3- , HA, and Cl adversely affected ATL oxidation in both processes. The NO3- concentration 1-3 mmol/L accelerated the destruction of ATL by the UV/PDS process, but further increase of NO3- concentration retarded the degradation process, contrary to the case in the UV/H2O2 process. The rank orders of effects caused by the six operational parameters were pH ≈ specific dosage 〉 [HA]0 〉 [NO3-]0 〉 [HCO3-]0 〉 [Cl-]0 for the UV/H2O2 process and specific dosage 〉 pH 〉 [HA]0 〉 [NO3-]0 〉 [HCO3-]0 〉[Cl-]0 for the UV/PDS process. The UV/PDS process was more sensitive to changes in operational parameters than the UV/H2O2 process but more efficient in ATL removal under the same conditions.
