Physical and chemical stability of ceftaroline in an elastomeric infusion device

ABSTRACTZirconolite is a potential inorganic matrix that is currently investigated in France, in the framework of the 1991 radioactive waste management law, with a view to provide durable containment of the trivalent and tetravalent minor actinides like neptunium, curium, americium and small quantities of unrecyclable plutonium separated from other nuclear waste. To confirm the actinide loading capacity of the zirconolite calcium site and to study the physical and chemical stability of this type of ceramic when subjected to alpha self-irradiation, zirconolite ceramic pellets were fabricated with 10 wt% plutonium oxide (isotope 239 or 238). The 55 pellets are dense (> 93.3% of the theoretical density on average) and free of cracks. They are characterized by a grain size of between 10 and 20 micrometers. X-ray diffraction analyses confirmed the presence of the zirconolite 2M crystalline structure.

Ocimum gratissimum L. leaf oil exhibited many pharmacological properties. This study aimed to formulate and evaluate the physical and chemical stability of O.gratissimum leaf oil nanoemulsion. O.gratissimum leaf oil was extracted by hydrodistillation. The major component of the essential oil eugenol, was analyzed by UV-Vis spectrophotometry. Nanoemulsions of O.gratissimum leaf oil were formulated using polysorbate 80, hyaluronic acid, poloxamer 188, and deionized water by phase inversion composition method. The hydrodynamic diameter, polydispersity index, and zeta potential value of O.gratissimum leaf oil nanoemulsion was evaluated by a dynamic light scattering technique. The %remaining of eugenol in the nanoemulsion was analyzed by UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The essential oil extracted from of O. gratissimum leaf oil was a clear, pale yellow color. The %yield of the essential oil was 0.15 ± 0.03% v/w. The size of the nanoemulsion was less than 106 nm. The polydispersity index of the nanoemulsion was ranging from 0.303 - 0.586 and the zeta potential value of the nanoemulsion was closely to zero, depending on the formulation component. O. gratissimum leaf oil at concentrations ranging from 0.002 - 0.012% v/v contained 35 - 41% of eugenol. The size of nanoemulsion was significantly decreased after storage at 4 °C, while significantly increased upon storage at 45 °C. The size of nanoemulsion stored at 30 °C did not significantly change. The %remaining of eugenol in the nanoemulsion was more than 90% after storage at 4 °C and 30 °C for 28 days. The percentage of eugenol remaining in the nanoemulsion stored at 45 °C was more than 85 - 90%, suggesting that the temperature affected the stability of eugenol in the nanoemulsion.

Objective: At present, the nail preparation to cure onychomycosis, caused by non-dermatophyte molds, is not commercially available in Thailand. The physical and chemical stability of amphotericin B (AmB) extemporaneous preparations in the presence of 30% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and their in vitro nail permeation was evaluated. Methods: AmB extemporaneous preparations in the presence of 30% DMSO were prepared from a commercial sterile injection product, and cream or hydrophilic ointment. Physical stability was tested at 30°C for 2 months, or using 6 heating-cooling cycles. The chemical stability and in vitro nail permeation of AmB content were analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). In vitro nail permeation was performed by applying 3.5 mg/mm2 of the tested formulation on nail clippings for 5 consecutive days. Results: The AmB cream and ointment extemporaneous preparations containing 30% DMSO, a permeation enhancer, were homogeneous and pale yellow to yellow cream or ointment. The AmB ointment was stable for up to 60 days. The ointment preparation allows in vitro penetration through nails up to 14.17 μg/cm2. The ointment preparation allows significantly better penetration through than the cream preparation due to the presence of DMSO, sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), and water in the ointment preparation. Conclusion: The AmB extemporaneous ointment was successfully compounded from a commercial sterile injection product with a beyond-use date of 60 days. The ointment preparation is currently under further investigation for in vivo efficacy.

Anthracycline Chemotherapy

BACKGROUND: Palonosetron HCl is a selective 5-HT3 receptor antagonist used for the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. Palonosetron HCl may be administered with other drugs by Y-site administration, including doxorubicin HCI and epirubicin HCI. Consequently, stability and compatability information are needed to verify the acceptability of such Y-site administration. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the physical and chemical stability of undiluted palonosetron HCl 50 μg/mL with doxorubicin HCl 1 mg/mL and epirubicin HCl 0.5 mg/mL during simulated Y-site administration. METHODS: Triplicate samples of palonosetron HCl with each of the anthracycline chemotherapy drugs were tested. Samples were stored and evaluated for up to 4 hours at room temperature near 23°C. Physical stability was assessed using turbidimetric and particulate measurement, as well as visual inspection. Chemical stability was assessed by HPLC. RESULTS: All of the admixtures were clear and red—orange when viewed in normal fluorescent room light and with a Tyndall beam. Measured turbidity and particulate content were low initially and remained low throughout the study. The drug concentration was unchanged in any of the samples throughout the study. CONCLUSIONS: Palonosetron HCl is physically and chemically stable with doxorubicin HCl and epirubicin HCl during simulated Y-site administration of these drugs over 4 hours at ambient room temperature.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the physical compatibility and chemical stability of paclitaxel at concentrations of 300 and 1200 μg/mL with doxorubicin hydrochloride 200 μg/mL in NaCl 0.9% injection and dextrose 5% injection over 7 days at 4, 23, and 32 °C. DESIGN: The test samples were prepared in polyolefin bags of the infusion solutions at the required drug concentrations. Evaluations were performed initially and after 4 hours, and 1, 3, 5, and 7 days of storage at 4, 23, and 32 °C for physical and chemical stability. Physical stability was assessed by using visual observation in normal fluorescent light and a high-intensity monodirectional light beam. In addition, turbidity and particle content were measured electronically. Chemical stability of the two drugs was evaluated by using two stability-indicating HPLC analytic techniques. RESULTS: All samples were physically stable through 1 day. However, microcrystalline precipitation of paclitaxel occurred within 3 days in some samples and within 5 days in all samples. Paclitaxel concentrations remained at more than 97% in all samples throughout the study. Doxorubicin hydrochloride also was stable throughout the study period, remaining above 90% in all samples at all storage temperatures. CONCLUSIONS: Admixtures of paclitaxel 300 and 1200 μg/mL with doxorubicin hydrochloride are limited in their utility time by paclitaxel microcrystalline precipitation. All combinations were physically and chemically stable for at least 24 hours at 4, 23, and 32 °C.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the physical compatibility and chemical stability of paclitaxel at concentrations of 0.3 and 1.2 mg/mL with cisplatin 0.2 mg/mL in NaCl 0.9% injection and with carboplatin 2 mg/mL in NaCl 0.9% injection and dextrose 5% injection over 7 days at 4, 23, and 32°C. DESIGN: The test samples were prepared in polyolefin bags of the infusion solutions at the required drug concentrations. Evaluations were performed initially and after 4 hours, and 1, 3, 5, and 7 days of storage at temperatures of 4, 23, and 32°C for physical and chemical stability. Physical stability was assessed by using visual observation in normal light and using a high-intensity monodirectional light beam. In addition, turbidity and particle content were measured electronically. Chemical stability of the three drugs was evaluated by using three stability-indicating HPLC analytical techniques. RESULTS: All samples were physically stable through 1 day. However, microcrystalline precipitation of paclitaxel occurred in 3 days in some samples and within 5 days in all samples. Paclitaxel concentrations remained above 90% in all samples throughout the study. Cisplatin admixtures exhibited paclitaxel concentration-dependent decomposition with cisplatin losses of approximately 5–8% in 4 hours and approximately 20% in 1 day at 23 and 32°C in the paclitaxel 1.2 mg/mL admixtures. With paclitaxel 0.3 mg/mL in the admixtures, cisplatin losses were about 10% in 7 days at these temperatures. Carboplatin in admixtures with both concentrations of paclitaxel was stable for 7 days at 4°C, but sustained losses of about 10% and 12% in 3 days at 23 and 32°C, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Admixtures of paclitaxel 0.3 and 1.2 mg/mL with cisplatin and carboplatin are limited in their utility time by both paclitaxel microcrystalline precipitation and decomposition of cisplatin and carboplatin. The admixture of paclitaxel 1.2 mg/mL with cisplatin 0.2 mg/mL in NaCl 0.9% injection exhibits unacceptable cisplatin loss in 24 hours. All other combinations were physically and chemically stable for at least 24 hours at 4, 23, and 32°C.
