Abstract:
The aim of this study was to determine the compatibility and stability of morphine hydrochloride and hyoscine-N-butyl bromide combined in solution at three different concentrations and stored in polypropylene syringes at 4 degrees C and 25 degrees C over a period of 15 days. The doses assayed were 20, 60 and 120 mg/day for morphine hydrochloride and 40, 60 and 80 mg/day for hyoscine-N-butyl bromide. These dose ranges were chosen according to daily practice. At both temperatures, all mixtures can be considered as physically compatible since no evidence of incompatibility-that is precipitation, turbidity, colour change or opacity and gas production-were observed. After 15 days of storage, the percentages of hyoscine-N-butyl bromide remaining in the drug mixtures tested ranged between 96.07% and 92.23%. At the end of the study, the percentages of morphine hydrochloride remaining in the drug mixtures were 100% at both temperatures.

Stability of Substituted Cyclohexanes
The two chair conformations of cyclohexanes undergo rapid interconversion at room temperature. Both forms have identical energies and stabilities, each comprising equal amounts of the equilibrium mixture. Replacing a hydrogen atom with a functional group makes the two conformations energetically non-equivalent.
For example, in...

Regioselectivity and Stereochemistry of Hydroboration
Hydroboration proceeds in a concerted fashion with the attack of borane on the π bond, giving a cyclic four-centered transition state. The –BH2 group is bonded to the less substituted carbon and –H to the more substituted carbon. The concerted nature requires the simultaneous addition of –H and –BH2 across the same face of the alkene giving syn stereochemistry.
Factors Affecting Dissolution: Polymorphism, Amorphism and Pseudopolymorphism
Some polymorphic crystals possess lower aqueous solubility than their amorphous counterparts, leading to incomplete absorption. For instance, the oral suspension of Chloramphenicol, which...
