1.SOLUBILITY Expression of solubility According to Indian Pharmacopoeia Descriptive Phrase Approximate quantities(ml) of solvent by volume for 1 part (1 gm) of solute by weight Very soluble less than 1 part Freely soluble from 1 to 10 parts Soluble from 10 to 30 parts Sparingly soluble from 30 to 100 parts Slightly soluble from 100 to 1000 parts Very slightly soluble from 1000 to 10,000 parts Practically insoluble more than 10,000 parts
7
a. pH A large number of drugs are either weak acids or weak bases
a. pH A large number of drugs are either weak acids or weak bases. The solubility of these agents can be markedly influenced by the pH of the environment Weak Acid pH = pKa + log (ionised ) /(un ionised) pH = pKa + log (base) / (acid) Weak Base pH=pKa +log (unionised) / (ionised) pH = pKa+ log( base )/(acid) b. COSOLVENCY Weak electrolytes and nonpolar molecules frequently have poor water solubility. These types of solutes are more soluble in a mixture of solvents than in one solvent alone. This phenomenon is known as cosolvency.
8
c. DIELECTRIC CONSTANT One property of a solvent system is its dielectric constant. The dielectric constant of a solvent can be defined as the ratio of the capacitances of a capacitor filled with the solvent and air respectively. d. SOLUBILIZATION spontaneous increase of solubility of a poorly water-soluble solute molecules into an aqueous solution of surface active agents (or surfactants) in which a thermodynamically stable solution is formed.
9
e. COMPLEXATION Solubility of a compound may be increased by complexing with a complexing agent. e.g. solubility of para amino benzoic acid (PABA) may be increased by complexing with caffeine f. HYDROTROPHY The term hydrotrophy has been used to designate the increase in solubility in water of various substances due to the presence of large amounts of additives. g. CHEMICAL MODIFICATION OF DRUG Poorly soluble drugs are chemically modified into water soluble derivatives.
10
2.PRESERVATION a.Preservatives
Some pharmaceutically useful preservative Class Preservative Usual concentration (%) -Acidic Phenol Chlorocresol -Neutral Chlorbutanol Benzyl alcohol -Mercurial Thiomersal Nitromersol -Quarternary ammonium compounds Benzalkonium chloride Cetylpyridinium
11
b. Antioxidants An antioxidant is a molecule that inhibits the oxidation of other molecules c. Reducing agent A reducing agent (also called a reductant or reducer) is the element or compound in a reduction-oxidation reaction that donates an electron to another species however, since the reducer loses an electron we say it is "oxidized". This means that there must be an "oxidizer"; because if any chemical is an electron donor (reducer), another must be an electron recipient (oxidant).
12
3.ORGANOLEPTIC ADDITIVES a. Colouring Agents
Colouring Agents generally used in case of cosmetic preparations. The second reasons is to distinguish one product from the products. A third reason is to distinguish the preparation being administered Classification- 1.natural colouring agents-plant -animal -minerals 2.syntetic coal tar
13
1. Natural Colouring Agents:
Plants: Many plants contain colouring agents which may be extracted. and used as colorant. Some Examples are: a. Chlorophyll-green b. Annatto seeds-yellow to orange
14
Animal: - Cochineal: It is an alkaline solution of the soluble Colouring principles caraminic acid of cochineal insects preserved by the addition of. It is very dark purplish red liquid. Minerals: -Mineral colours are termed pigments. -They are used to colour lotions, cosmetics and other preparation for external application. -As they are toxic, their use for internal preparation is forbidden. Ex: Red ferric oxide Yellow Ferric Dioxide
15
2. Synthetic colouring agents
The synthetic colours are coal tar dyes, because many of them are produced from substance obtained from coal-tar. The certified colours are classified into three groups: Group I- F.D. and C. Colours used in foods, drugs and cosmetics. Groups II- The D. and C. Colour used in drug and Cosmetics. Group III- The External D. and C. Colour.
16
b. Flavouring agents The use of flavour is actually a composite sensation of taste, touch, smell, sound and heat. There are simply four types of tastes - Sweet - Sour - Salty - Bitter . Similarly there are seven basic odours like - Ethereal , camphoraceous ,Musky, Floral ,Pepperminty ,Pungent ,Putrid
17
Classification of flavouring agents
Two Types: 1. Natural and 2. Synthetic 1. Natural a. Fruits (Sweet, Sur and Astringent) Citrus Fruits (Orange, Lemon) b . Seeds (Vanilla, Anise, Nutmeg) 2.synthetics Benzaldehyde Bitter Almond, Cherry pits Decyl Aldehyde Citrus Flavours (Orange) Cinnamic aldehyde - Cinnamon type
18
c. Sweetening agents Sucrose Sorbitol (Half Sweet than Sucrose)
Glycerin Honey Saccharin Sodium ( times) Cyclametaes (30 times sweeter than sucrose) Aspartame
19
d.Viscosity control Used to increase palatability and pourability
Examples of viscosity controlling agents are -PVP -cellulose derivatives e.General apperance depends on colour and clarity
20
4.STABILITY a. Chemical stability
Ex- effect of amino acids on stability of aspirin in propylene glycol solutions. b. Physical stability Oral liquids are stable if it retains viscosity,colour,taste and odour throughout its shelf life
21

. For vitamins and antibiotics formulation for pediatric purpose. . It is not meant for higher dose. . Drops are dispensed in a bottle with dropper. . It contains potent drugs, so dose is measured precisely.
25
C. Linctuses Viscous liquid oral preparations that are usually prescribed for the relief of cough. Consists of simple solution of active agent in high conc of sucrose. Vehicle is always a syrup and sometimes contains glycerin, because of sweetening taste and soothing effect on mucous membrane. Should be taken as such without dilution and sipped slowly to prolong action of drug EXAMPLE OF LINCTUSES: - Codeine Linctuses Diamorphine Lictus Compound Tolu Linctus
26
FORMULATION OF LINCTUSES
1. Vehicle Additives 1. Vehicles: a. Syrup b. Tolu Syrup It also provides aromatic odour and flavour, it has also mild expectorant action. Due to high content (68%) of sucrose, solution tends to crystallise, so stored at constant temperature. Due to high solid and low water content, dissolution of medicament is slow. Sometime glycerol is used as Auxiliary Vehicle.
27
2. Additives A. Chemical Stabilizers :
Linctuses are self stabilized due to syrup, so no need of any other stabilizer. B. Colouring Agent: Coal-tar dyes Ex: Compound Tartrazine solution C. Flavouring Agent: Syrup itself act as masking agent. Some fruit flavours used are; Lemon and Black current D. Preservatives: Syrup has preservative action due to high osmotic pressure. Tolu syrup contain Benzoic acid and cinnamic acid.Some other preservatives are -Chloroform spirit -Benzoic acid spirit solution
28
D . SYRUPS: “It is concentrated aqueous solution of sucrose mixed with solution of medicaments and others additives.” Generally syrup is prepared by sucrose but is partly replaced by dextrose or other polyhydric alcohols to reduce crystallisation of sucrose or to increase solubility of medicaments and other additives. Consists of 85% sugars 2 types of syrups Non medicated syrup Medicated syrup
29

LIQUIDS FOR EXTERNAL USE
LINIMENTS LOTIONS COLLODIONS
61
A. LINIMENTS “Liniments are fluid, semi-fluid or occasionally semisolid preparations intended for external application.” They may be alcoholic or oily solution or emulsion. Liniments containing substances have following properties. Analgesic Rubefacient Counter Irritants Soothing Stimulating
62
In case of monophasic (solution) liniments two types of solvents are used. 1. Alcohol - Soap liniment Aconite liniments. 2. Oil Camphor Liniments Methyl Liniments - Arachis and cotton seed oil is used. It is less irritant than alcohol. It is spread more easily. -Liniments may be applied with or without friction. It may be painted or applied on skin by brush. - Liniments should not be applied on broken skin. - Liniments contains volatile ingredients so cold storage is necessary and kept away from flame
63
PREPARATION: It can be prepared as solution or emulsion as the case may be. CONTAINER: Coloured fluted bottle. LABEL: FOR EXTERNAL USE ONLY NOT FOR BROKEN SKIN STORE IN COOL PLACE INFLAMMABLE
64
B. LOTIONS “Lotion are liquid preparations intended for external application or for special use.It may be aqueous or alcoholic solution or suspension referred as SHAKE LOTION. In aqueous or alcoholic solution, the main ingredients are salts. Alcohol causes defatting, countered by addition of castor oil. Sometimes salt dissolved in water- aqueous solution, termed as EYE-LOTION, meant for eyes.
65
-On application of shake lotion on skin, the water evaporates, leaving residue of medicaments on skin. - The evaporation causes cooling effect. -Lotions are applied to inflammed area. -The use of alcohol hasten (faster) drying and enhance cooling. - The use of glycerin keeps skin moist and promote adherence of residue powder on skin. - The suspending agent like Na C.M.C. may be used to assist dispersion. -Lotion liable to microbial growth, so includes proper preservatives. Lotion used for local cooling, soothing, protective, drying or moisturizing properties.
66
Lotion includes- antifungal, anti-inflammatory, anti- infective, anti pyretic and local anesthetic agents. EXAMPLES: Lead lotion - lead subacetate in water Salicylic lotion - salicylic acid in alcohol CONTAINER: Fluted bottle, closed with plastic screw cap. LABEL: FOR EXTERNAL USE ONLY DILUTED LOTION NOT TO BE USED LATED THAN ONE MONTH AFTER ISSUE.
67
C. COLLODION Collodions are fluid- prepared for external use.
They are applied by brush, rod or applicator. The base is pyroxillin (Nitro Cellulose) in a volatile solvents. The volatile vehicle evaporates leaving a flexible, protective film covering the site. The volatile vehicles are ether, alcohol and acetone. Flexibility to film given by castor oil. Pyrocillin is highly inflammable so it is kept moist with industrial menthylated spirit, stored loosely packed, protect from light in a cool place.
68
EXAMPLES: Flexible Collodion –USP/BP Salicylic acid collodion -BPC LABEL: FOR EXTERNAL USE ONLY STORE IN A COOL PLACE HIGHLY INFLAMMABLE KEEP AWAY FROM NAKED FLAMES.
69
MANUFACTURING CONSIDERATION
-Raw materials -equipments -Cleaning of equipments -Material of construction -compounding proceduce
70
RAW MATERIALS 1. Incoming raw materials should be tested against some specifications regarding identity, purity, uniformity and freedom from excessive microbial contamination. 2. Additional processing may be required e.g. size-reduction or sterilization before manufacturing In oral liquid preparations water is the main vehicle. It should meet the USP requirements for Purified water. It may be obtained by distillation or ion-exchange treatment
71
EQUIPMENTS The following types of equipments may be used in the manufacture of oral liquid solutions:- 1. Mixing tanks (SS 316 Stainless Steel) equipped with an agitator. 2. Measuring devices for large and small amount of solids and liquids. 3. A filtration system for the final polishing - e.g. Sparkler filter.
72
CLEANING OF EQUIPMENTS -All equipments must be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized before use. Disinfectants used: Dilute solutions of H2O2, phenol derivatives and paracetic acid. Sterilized by: Alcohol, boiling water, autoclaving, steam or dry heat.
73
Material of construction · Tanks are usually constructed of polished stainless steel and are usually jacketed to allow for heating or cooling of the contents. · Tanks are covered and equipped with see-through charging ports and illumination for easy observation of the contents · The compounded liquid may then be transported to the filling line, either manually by filling into portable transport tanks (fitted with wheels) or by pumping (or gravity flow) through a liquid delivery conduit.
74
COMPOUNDING PROCEDURE Objective Complete solution should usually be confirmed at every stage in the manufacture of a homogeneous liquid. Formula- 1. Active constituent / Drug 2. Vehicle (Water / Alcohol / Glycerol) Sweetening agents (viscosity building agents) Syrup, Sorbitol, Glycerol 3. Preservatives 4. Flavors 5. Colors (Dyes)
75
Steps of preparation 1. Purified water is heated to approximately 50 degrees to facilitate the dissolution of the solid solutes. Solid solutes are added to the warm water. 2. If any additive is required in small amount then it should be dissolved separately and then mixed with the bulk mixture. 3. Any large volume liquids (e.g. glycerol) are added and mixed until homogeneous. 4. Before adding flavors the temperature should be reduced to 30degrees(since most of the flavors are volatile). The flavor should be dissolved in small amount of alcohol (since flavors are generally insoluble in aqueous medium) and then it is mixed with the bulk mixture. 5. Dye should be dissolved n small amount of water. Then transferred to the bulk mixture. 6. Finally volume is made up to the required volume. The total mixture is agitated thoroughly until homogeneity is obtained. 7. Finally the batch is filtered to obtain a polished, clear solution
76
PAKAGING MATERIALS a. glass b. plastic
Plastic containers Glass containers
77
FILLING 3 basic filling methods - gravimentric - volumentric
- constant level filling
78
Liquid Filling System Palletized filling Top filling Bottom filling
80
CONCLUSION As it is easy to administer for children and elderly people and also good compliance due to flavour,rapid absorption as it avoids first pass effect and flexible dosing it is preffered.
