Objective: Tocotrienol is a natural Vitamin E compound with greater antioxidant activity than tocopherol. However, tocotrienol is considered unstable,which limits its handling and use in various product formulations. In this study, to enhance the stability of tocotrienol, tocotrienol oil was convertedinto a powder through a microencapsulation method using ethylcellulose (EC) as the coating material.Methods: Tocotrienol microcapsules were formulated with EC in ratios of 1:2 and 1:3 by solvent evaporation (SE) and spray drying techniques.The obtained microcapsules were then characterized in terms of shape and morphology, particle size, entrapment efficiency, percentage yield,flow properties, water content, swelling, and drug release. In addition, stability studies at both room temperature and elevated temperatures wereperformed.Results: Our results demonstrated that the tocotrienol microcapsules were of a white-yellowish powder of irregular shape, with particle sizes between1 μm and 60 μm and entrapment efficiency of 21.60% and 99.75%. After 12 weeks of storage at room temperature, the remaining level of tocotrienolin the microcapsules was 96.46–97.74%. In the accelerated stability study at elevated temperatures, the resulting k25 values ranged from 1.02×10-5 to1.32×10-5/h. Thus, the predicted shelf-life (t90) of the microencapsulated tocotrienol was determined to be between 11.01 and 14.27 months.Conclusion: The microencapsulation of tocotrienol with EC using SE and spray drying techniques produced a solid form of tocotrienol that wasconsiderably more stable than the natural form of tocotrienol.

AbstractBackgroundCarbidopa is a drug mainly used to treat Parkinson’s disease. Associations with levodopa or with levodopa/entacapone are commercialized, but there is no oral formulation of carbidopa alone available in Europe. As carbidopa can also be used as premedication of adult patients for insulinoma diagnosis, it must be compounded as single dose mg capsules. The single dose administration of a magistral preparation implies the compounding of only one capsule, or the loss of consequent quantities of active pharmaceutical ingredient. As an alternative solution, carbidopa capsules could be compounded as batches of hospital preparation.MethodWith this objective, a stability-indicating dosing method for 200 mg carbidopa capsules was developed. Then, the compounding process was assessed according to the European Pharmacopeia requirements. Finally, the stability of carbidopa capsules stored protected from light at room temperature was studied for one year.Results200 mg carbidopa capsules compounding process was validated on three independent batches. The beyond use date was fixed at one year.ConclusionOur work confirms that carbidopa 200 mg capsules can be realized in hospital pharmacy and its stability allows the compounding of large batches.

Abstract Data are presented regarding the viscosity and stability of Neoprene cements in benzene containing up to 30 per cent total solids. Although the more concentrated cements have only limited stability, especially at elevated temperatures, those up to 15 per cent concentration are sufficiently stable for practical purposes. Cements made from Neoprene Type G are slightly less stable than those made from Neoprene Type E, but up to 17 per cent concentration are still usable after 5-month storage at room temperature. Compounding somewhat reduced the stability of concentrated cements. The addition of sodium thiosulfate during compounding improves the stability of Neoprene Type E cements. Diphenylguanidine lowers the viscosity of Neoprene Type G cements but renders them slightly less stable. The viscosity of cements for any given solvent or concentration varies with the plasticity of the Neoprene. The variation of the intrinsic viscosity determined in different solvents makes the calculations of molecular weights from this type of data extremely uncertain.

OBJECTIVE In the hospital settings, buprenorphine is used for the treatment of patients with neonatal abstinence syndrome. It is extemporaneously compounded and stored in oral plastic syringes. However, limited information exists about the stability of buprenorphine and its compounded formulations when stored under specific conditions. Hence, we developed a stability-indicating high-performance liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS) method to analyze the stability of buprenorphine over time. METHODS A stability-indicating LC-MS method was developed to map the potential degradation peaks of buprenorphine when exposed to acidic, basic, and oxidative conditions. This method was used to study the stability of compounded buprenorphine oral syringes stored under refrigeration (2°C–8°C) and room temperature (25°C ± 2°C with 60% relative humidity). Syringes from each storage condition were assessed for stability using pH meter and stability-indicating LC-MS assay for 30 days. RESULTS Buprenorphine gets completely degraded in the presence of acid at the end of 1 hour of exposure. Various degradation peaks were identified using LC-MS assay for buprenorphine under acidic, basic, and peroxide conditions. Stability study of oral buprenorphine syringes showed no precipitation, cloudiness, or color change during this study at all storage conditions. The LC-MS assay revealed that buprenorphine oral syringes retained greater than 90% of the initial concentrations for 30 days. CONCLUSIONS Highly sensitive stability-indicating LC-MS method was developed for studying the stability of extemporaneously compounded buprenorphine oral syringes. This study demonstrates that buprenorphine extemporaneous formulation prepared according to the manufacturers' recommendations is stable under refrigerated or room temperature conditions for 30 days in oral plastic syringes.

This study develops the in-house specifications of self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS) containing rosuvastatin based on the following criteria: description, identification, droplet size (≤200 nm) and polydiversity index (not more than 0.3), drug proportion in the oil phase (≥ 90.0%), assay (≥ 95.0% and ≤105.0% of the labeled amount of rosuvastatin (C22H28FN3O6S). The criteria were validated and the results were suitable for identification and determination of rosuvastatin in SNEDDS. Additionally, the results of the stability study show that the rosuvastatin SNEDDS met the criteria of description, droplet size, PDI, assay and drug rate in the oil phase for 12-month storage under the long-term condition (12 months) and 6 months on accelerated condition.

This study aimed to develop oral microemulsions (MEs) containing M. alba extract. The stability study of the extract incorporated in the ME was also included. First, pseudo-ternary phase diagrams were constructed using caprylic/capric triglyceride (oil), PEG-8 caprylic/capric glycerides (S), polyglyceryl-3 diisostearate (CoS). Propylene glycol (PG) was used as a cosolvent. Then, the formulations were chosen to incorporate MSE and subjected to stability testing at 4o C, room temperature (RT) and 45o C at 75% RH for 8 weeks. Physical stability of the formulations was assessed by visual observation on the precipitation, phase separation and cloud point. Chemical stability was determined by quantitative analysis of oxyresveratrol using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The results showed that with increasing the ratio of S/CoS, the area of ME existing region in phase diagrams increased. The addition of PG into aqueous phase at ratio 1:1 slightly affected the formation of MEs. Physical stability was not affected by temperature but was influenced by the components of the formulations. However, degradation of the extract was affected by both temperature and components of the formulations. The extract was stable at 4o C and RT. However, at 45o C, it degraded about 16-57%, depending on the components of the formulations. The best ME formulation consisted of 10% caprylic/capric triglyceride, 80% PEG-8 caprylic/capric glycerides and polyglyceryl-3 diisostearate (4:1), and 10% water and PG (1:1).

AbstractThe objective of the present study was to develop and characterize nano-ethanolic liposomes (NEL) for transdermal delivery of ibuprofen (IBU). The NEL for transdermal delivery of IBU were prepared by thin film hydration technique and evaluated for vesicle size, shape, entrapment efficiency, transdermal flux, andin vivoanti-inflammatory activity in Wistar rats. The NEL optimized formulation (NEL-Opt) presented vesicle sizes of 32.85±1.98 nm and entrapment efficiency of 86.40±0.55% with improved transdermal flux. The presence of ethanol and flexibility of NEL could be the reasons for better permeation enhancement of IBU via rat’s skin.In vivoanti-inflammatory study of IBU-loaded NEL-Opt gel showed significant reduction (41.18%) of edema in carrageenan-induced rat paw edema as compared to conventional gel of IBU, where reduction of edema was found to be 12.50%. Our results suggest that developed NEL formulations are efficient systems for transdermal IBU delivery against inflammation. The stability study confirmed that the NEL-Opt gel formulation was considerably stable at refrigerator temperature. Our results concluded that NEL are an efficient carrier for transdermal delivery of IBU.

Catecholamines can be used to evaluate neuroendocrine tumors, stress, and potentially pain, but catecholamines degrade rapidly. Their metabolites normetanephrine (NME) and metanephrine (ME) have better stability in urine. In cats, urine sampling in a home environment would be beneficial to reduce effects of clinical stress and simplify sampling. We evaluated a human urine ELISA for analysis of NME and ME in feline urine, and investigated the effects of acidification, cat tray pellets, and storage time at room temperature up to 8.5 h. In 26 feline urine samples, mean NME concentration was 192 ± 80 ng/mL, mean intra- and inter-assay CV was 6.5% and 4.2%, respectively, and spike recovery was 98–101%, but dilutional recovery was unsatisfactory. For ME, mean intra- and inter-assay CV was 10.2% and 4.1%, respectively. Mean urine ME concentration was 32.1 ± 18.3 ng/mL, close to the kit’s lowest standard, and spike recovery was 65–90%; the ELISA could not be validated for ME. The stability study, performed for NME on 12 urine samples, did not identify differences between acidified and non-acidified samples, cat tray pellets, or storage time, and no interaction effects. The ME ELISA was not suitable for feline urine; performance of the NME ELISA was acceptable, except for dilution recovery. For analysis of NME, feline urine can be sampled at home using cat tray pellets and stored at room temperature up to 8.5 h without acidification.

Four nitrogen-fireable resistor inks with resistivities from 20 Ω/□ to 10 kΩ/□ were examined and found to be based upon lanthanum hexaboride. The firing conditions, especially the peak temperature value and oxygen content, considerably affected both the fired resistance value and the shape and slope of the TCR curve. Titanium monoxide was present in the low value resistivity inks and had the effects of modifying the TCR curves in the room temperature region. The stability of the resistor system, especially after ageing at elevated temperatures, was found to be comparable with that of the ‘Birox’ 1400 resistor system. The resistance generally increased in value and the rate of change of resistance could be approximated to a square root of time law consistent with a diffusion mechanism.
