概括
在储存过程中,添加白氨酸到胰岛素粉末可以防止潮湿引起的聚合,从而保持物理稳定性. 然而,它并不能保护依赖于玻璃化处理的蛋白质,这表明生物药物输送的特定应用.
科学领域:
- 制药科学 制药科学
- 材料科学 材料科学 材料科学
- 生物技术是生物技术.
背景情况:
- 肺部药物输送是使用生物药物治疗呼吸系统疾病的关键途径.
- 喷雾干燥常用于制造可吸入的粉末,通常使用无形糖作为稳定剂.
- 添加了氨酸等疏水性氨基酸,以提高粉末的分散性.
研究的目的:
- 为了评估白对水分诱导的干粉聚合和储存期间蛋白质稳定性的影响.
- 评估在不同湿度下含有或不含有白素的以胰岛素为基础的粉末的长期物理和化学稳定性.
主要方法:
- 喷雾干燥含有或不含4重量%白素的胰岛素粉末.
- 在各种相对湿度 (RH) 级别 (43%,58%,69%,75%) 的20 ± 2°C下保存粉末,长达20天.
- 评估颗粒聚合,玻璃过渡温度 (Tg) 和蛋白质稳定性 (乳酸脱酶和β-银酶).
主要成果:
- 只有胰岛素的粉末在RH≥58%时不可逆地聚合,而含有白的粉末在所有条件下保持完整.
- 蛋白质稳定性有所不同:两种模型蛋白在43%的RH时都保持了活性. 在75%的RH,β-galactosidase保持稳定,但乳酸脱酶失去了活性.

Antiasthma Drugs: Leukotriene Modifiers
1.7K
Leukotriene modifiers, or cysteinyl leukotriene receptor antagonists, are medications used to manage chronic asthma. These agents target specific inflammatory mediators produced during arachidonic acid metabolism, an essential process in generating inflammation in the body.
Leukotriene modifiers work through two distinct mechanisms:

Inhaled Medications
702
Inhaled medications are crucial for managing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. They are essential for effective treatment and control, ensuring optimal respiratory health and well-being. Inhaled medication delivers drugs directly to the lungs, providing a rapid onset of action and reducing systemic side effects compared to oral or injectable medications. Three primary types of inhalation devices are used to administer these medications: nebulizers, metered-dose inhalers...

Colloidal precipitates
4.8K
The high insolubility of some precipitates can result in an unfavorable relative supersaturation. This can lead to colloidal particles with a large surface-to-mass ratio, where adsorption is promoted. For instance, in the precipitation of silver chloride, silver ions are adsorbed on the surface of the colloidal particles, forming a primary layer. This layer attracts ions of opposite charge (such as nitrate ions), forming a diffuse secondary layer of adsorbed ions. This electric double layer...

Factors Affecting Dissolution: Particle Size and Effective Surface Area
1.6K
Dissolution kinetics, an essential aspect of oral drug delivery, is significantly influenced by the drug's particle size. According to the Noyes-Whitney dissolution model, the dissolution rate correlates directly with the drug's surface area. The larger the surface area, the higher the drug's solubility in water, leading to a faster drug dissolution rate. Reducing particle size increases the effective surface area, enhancing the dissolution process. Micronization and nanosizing are...

Pharmaceutical Alternatives: Polymorphic Form-Related and Particle Size-Related Therapeutic Nonequivalence
139
Changes in polymorphic forms can significantly influence the bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs. Although the FDA defines pharmaceutical equivalence based on having the same active ingredient, dosage form, and route of administration, it does not automatically disqualify products with different polymorphic forms. This means two products with different polymorphs can still be deemed pharmaceutically equivalent. However, polymorphic differences can affect properties like wettability,...

Breathing
64.1K
The process of breathing, inhaling and exhaling, involves the coordinated movement of the chest wall, the lungs, and the muscles that move them. Two muscle groups with important roles in breathing are the diaphragm, located directly below the lungs, and the intercostal muscles, which lie between the ribs. When the diaphragm contracts, it moves downward, increasing the volume of the thoracic cavity and creating more room for the lungs to expand. When the intercostal muscles contract, the ribs...
