Abstract
In this technical note we show with two simple experiments how Perfluorodecalin (PFD), an injectable perfluorocarbon, can be used as an agent for resuspending microparticulate suspensions in primary packaging containers for injection. Furthermore, we explain how this can be a substantial improvement regarding patient compliance in comparison to the commonly used gas headspace for resuspension. Our experiments are conducted with poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) particles (often used in extended-release pharmaceutical formulations for injection) and in primary packaging that is commonly used in injection devices (glass cartridges). The results show that our method is feasible for resuspension and moreover even sediment solidification/caking is reduced. The differences between the two datasets collected are statistically significant with p < 0.01 in both cases.
期刊介绍:
The journal provides a unique forum for scientific publication of high-quality research that is exclusively focused on translational aspects of drug delivery. Rationally developed, effective delivery systems can potentially affect clinical outcome in different disease conditions.
Research focused on the following areas of translational drug delivery research will be considered for publication in the journal.
Designing and developing novel drug delivery systems, with a focus on their application to disease conditions;
Preclinical and clinical data related to drug delivery systems;
Drug distribution, pharmacokinetics, clearance, with drug delivery systems as compared to traditional dosing to demonstrate beneficial outcomes
Short-term and long-term biocompatibility of drug delivery systems, host response;
Biomaterials with growth factors for stem-cell differentiation in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering;
Image-guided drug therapy,
Nanomedicine;
Devices for drug delivery and drug/device combination products.
In addition to original full-length papers, communications, and reviews, the journal includes editorials, reports of future meetings, research highlights, and announcements pertaining to the activities of the Controlled Release Society.
