Available Information

Polyquaternium-11 is a quaternized copolymer of vinylpyrrolidone and di-methylamine ethylmethacrylate, and is used at concentrations up to 50% in a variety of hair care preparations. The acute oral LD50 in test animals of high molecular weight Polyqua-ternium-11 is estimated to be greater than 12.8 g/kg; the LD50 for the low molecular weight polymer is calculated to be 6.2 g/kg. At concentrations of up to 50% in water, the raw ingredient produced no signs of skin or eye irritation. There was no evidence of dermal toxicity in subchronic tests nor in a maximization test for sensitization. In clinical studies, 1 of 19 subjects showed slight skin irritation after a 24-hour single insult skin patch with 9.5% Polyquaternium-11 in water. Repeated insult patch tests at concentrations up to 50% produced no instances of skin sensitization and only isolated instances of transient skin irritation. Clinical photoreactivity studies on both low and high molecular weight polymers showed no evidence of phototoxicity or photoallergenicity. From the available information, it is concluded that Polyquaternium-11 is safe as a cosmetic ingredient in the present practices of use.

Steady State Levels

The aim of this study was to prepare injectable depot formulations of Olanzapine using four poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) polymers of varying molecular weight and copolymer composition, and evaluate in vivo performance in rats. In vivo release profiles from the formulations were governed chiefly by polymer molecular weight and to a lesser extent, copolymer composition. Formulations A and B, manufactured using low molecular weight PLGA and administered at 10 mg/kg dose, released drug within 15 days. Formulation C, prepared from intermediate molecular weight PLGA and administered at 20 mg/kg dose, released drug in 30 days, while Formulation D, manufactured using a high molecular weight polymer and administered at 20 mg/kg dose, released drug in 45 days. A simulation of multiple dosing at 7- and 10-day intervals for Formulations A and B revealed that steady state was achieved within 7–21 days and 10–30 days, respectively. Similarly, simulations at 15-day intervals for Formulations C and D indicated that steady state levels were reached during days 15–45. Overall, steady state levels for 7-, 10-, or 15-day dosing ranged between 45 and 65 ng/mL for all the formulations, implying that Olanzapine PLGA microspheres can be tailored to treat patients with varying clinical needs.

An experimental investigation of the flow behavior of dilute, semi-dilute and concentrated polymer solutions has been carried out to gain a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms leading to the occurrence of instabilities at the advancing flow front during the filling of a mold cavity. Experiments were performed using various mass concentrations of low and high molecular weight polyacrylamide polymers in corn syrup and water. This paper reports a new type of elastic fingering instabilities at the advancing flow front that has been observed only in semi-dilute polymer solutions of high molecular weight polymers. These flow front elastic instabilities seem to arise as a result of a mixture of widely separated high molecular weight polymer molecules and low molecular weight solvent molecules, which gives rise to a largely non-uniform polydisperse solution, with respect to all the kinds of molecules in the resulting mixture (solvent molecules and polymer molecules). The occurrence of these instabilities appears to be independent of the injection flow rate and the cavity thickness. Moreover, these instabilities do not manifest themselves in dilute or concentrated regimes, where respectively, polymer molecules and solvent molecules are minor perturbation of the resulting solution. In those regimes, smooth flow fronts are confirmed from our experiments. Based on these findings, the experimental investigations have been extended to polymer melts. Different mixtures of polycarbonate melts of widely separated molecular weights (low and high molecular weights) were first prepared. The effect of the large polydispersity of the resulting mixtures on the flow front behavior was subsequently studied. The same instabilities at the flow front were observed only in the experiments where a very small amount of high molecular weight polycarbonate polymer has been mixed to a low molecular weight polycarbonate melt (oligomers).
