Statistical processing of the data obtained was performed using Microsoft Excel 2007 spreadsheets.\u0000Results and discussion. The composition and number of components of the therapeutic and preventive mouthwash have been theoretically substantiated. The theoretical and experimental substantiation of the composition of the original mouthwash of the multifaceted action with a deodorizing effect for use in halitosis (the liquid extract of burdock, pot marigold, fleaworts, horsetail, sage, inula, chicory (45 : 5 : 15 : 5 : 10 : 15 : 5, respectively) (1 : 4); thyme and lemon essential oil, xylitol, polysorbate-20, glycerin, PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil, purified water) is given. The tests showed the need to add antimicrobial preservatives to the mouthwash composition. Taking into account the requirements of safety and cost-effectiveness, as well as slightly higher antimicrobial activity, potassium sorbate in the minimum effective concentration of 0.1 % was chosen as a promising preservative. Salivary diagnostics revealed a general tendency to improve the physicochemical properties of saliva by a number of parameters after applying an experimental sample of the mouthwash developed.

To study the awareness of graduate pharmacy students with the concept of the “rational use of medicines” and related issues.\u0000Materials and methods. A questionnaire survey of 172 graduate students was conducted at the National University of Pharmacy.\u0000Results and discussion. Most students believe that they are clearly familiar with the concept of the “rational use of medicines”; 97.1 % of them know it from the disciplines they studied at the University. It has been found that students have both correct and erroneous ideas about the mandatory principles of the rational use of medicines; they are most aware of its clinical aspects. Not all signs of the irrational use of medicines are obvious for future pharmacists. Students possess certain skills that can be useful in promoting the rational use of medicines. However, not all acquired skills are in demand in the professional activities of pharmacists in Ukraine. 75.6% of respondents think their knowledge gained at the University is sufficient to promote the rational use of medicines. Only 48.3 % of respondents believe that Ukrainian pharmacists are sufficiently involved in promoting the rational use of medicines.\u0000Conclusions. The study has revealed the lack of awareness of some pharmaceutical students about the concept and problem of the rational use of medicines, as well as the gap between the acquired skills and their demand in professional activities. Less than half of students rate the role of pharmacists in promoting the rational use of medicines at a sufficient level. Further research will be aimed at developing measures to improve the awareness of pharmacy students with the basic concepts of the rational use of medicines, as well as expanding the participation of Ukrainian pharmacists in promoting the rational use of medicines.","PeriodicalId":19221,"journal":{"name":"News of Pharmacy","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84872228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To select the concentration of fennel essential oil as an antimicrobial component and amaranth oil as an antioxidant component in the composition of a wound healing ointment for the wound therapy in the second and third phases of the wound process.\u0000Materials and methods. The study objects were model samples of the ointment with the lipophilic extract of marigold, amaranth oil and fennel essential oil. The antibacterial and antifungal activity of the model samples of the ointment was determined in experiments in vitro by the agar diffusion method. The study of antioxidant properties was performed by biotesting on the biological model of Paramecium caudatum infusoria grown in the Lozin-Lozinsky nutrient medium at a temperature of 20-26 °С. The results were statistically processed using the Excel for Windows software.\u0000Results and discussion. The results of the studies conducted showed the presence of the antimicrobial action of varying degrees for all ointment samples with different concentrations of fennel essential oil. There was a slow increase in the antimicrobial activity of ointments with an increase in the concentration of fennel essential oil. The promising concentrations of fennel essential oil providing the maximum antimicrobial effect in the composition of the wound healing ointment were 1.5 % and 2.0 %. Taking into account a slight difference in the growth retardation zones and the requirements of safety and cost-effectiveness 1.5 % concentration of fennel essential oil was chosen for further research. Exposure of the experimental samples with different concentrations of amaranth oil led to a prolongation of the period of activity of infusoria under the influence of poisons compared to the control, indicating the presence of a high level of antioxidant activity.\u0000Conclusions. Based on the microbiological studies and biotesting, the concentration of antimicrobial and antioxidant components (fennel essential oil – 1.5 %, amaranth oil – 8 %) has been substantiated when developing a wound healing ointment for the therapy in the second and third phases of the wound process.","PeriodicalId":19221,"journal":{"name":"News of Pharmacy","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81955801","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To analyze the scientific literature data on the use of three-dimensional technologies in pharmacy, in particular in the technology of oral solid dosage forms, the advantages and disadvantages of 3D printing, and current research on the development of drugs using 3D printing.\u0000Materials and methods. To achieve this goal, bibliosemantic and analytical methods were used.\u0000Results and discussion. Personalized medicine is currently a major area of development in the healthcare sector. Its goal is to adapt treatment to a specific person, taking into account the peculiarities of the physiology, drug reactions, and the genetic profile. There are technologies that contribute to the paradigm shift from the traditional “one-size-fits-all”approach to personalized medicine, the main one being three-dimensional (3D) printing. 3D printing involves the creation of a three-dimensional object using various computer programs. 3D printing can be used to create a wide range of dosage forms that differ in shape, release profile, and drug combination. The main 3D printing technology platforms under study in the pharmaceutical sector include inkjet printing, binder inkjet printing, fused filament manufacturing, selective laser sintering, stereolithography, and injection microsyringing.\u0000Conclusions. The article discusses various 3D printing technologies and the prospects for their application in research on the development of new medicines, in particular oral solid dosage forms, and highlights their advantages and disadvantages.","PeriodicalId":19221,"journal":{"name":"News of Pharmacy","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81035184","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aim. To develop self-emulsifying compositions using simvastatin as an active pharmaceutical ingredient. Materials and methods. During the development of the composition of the self-emulsifying mixture, excipients, such as solvents, co-solvents, surfactants and co-surfactants, allowed in pharmaceutical production were used. The studies of solubility, the formation rate of emulsions of the self-emulsifying composition and stability were carried out by generally accepted methods according to the methods of the SPhU and other valid normative documents. Results and discussion. The studies of the solubility of simvastatin allowed choosing a mixture of castor oil and PEG-40 GRO as a solvent, which improved the solubility of the substance in oil. It was determined that it was efficient to use Tween-80 as the main surfactant. Glycerol monostearate, distilled monoglycerides, polyethylene oxide-400, polyethylene oxide-1500 and polyethylene glycol-100 stearate were introduced into the composition as co-surfactants. It was found that the compositions, which included polyethylene oxide-400 and polyethylene oxide-1500, had significantly worse indicators of the formation rate of emulsions than the rest of the samples. The sample containing distilled monoglycerides did not withstand a decrease in the pH value of the medium. Conclusions.

The use of soap as a hygiene product began long before our era and was successfully integrated into our daily life in accordance with the modern needs of humankind. Industrial production of liquid, solid and dry soap is currently established and widely scaled. However, the content of synthetic components makes it impossible to use such soap for therapeutic and preventive purposes. Small “home” soap factories use many natural components and even refuse to add preservatives, synthetic dyes and fragrances, but these are soaps for daily hygiene.\u0000Conclusions.

To develop conditions for isolating the antidepressant sertraline from the blood and urine by the liquid-liquid extraction.\u0000Materials and methods. The studies were performed with model blood and urine samples spiked with sertraline. In the study of the blood, the formed blood elements were pre-precipitated by adding a 10 % solution of trichloroacetic acid. Extraction purification was performed with hexane at pH 1, and the drug was extracted from biological fluids with chloroform at pH 8. The extracts obtained were further subjected to the TLC purification. Determination of sertraline in eluates from chromatograms was performed by the UV spectrophotometric method.\u0000Results and discussion. The Rf value of sertraline in the mobile phase of methanol – 25 % ammonium hydroxide solution (100:10.5) was 0.42 ± 0.02. The UV spectra of the eluates from the chromatograms had absorption maxima at wavelengths of 268 ± 2, 275 ± 2 and 283 ± 2 nm and matched with the UV spectrum of a standard solution of sertraline in 0.1 mole/L ethanol solution of hydrochloric acid. The quantitative determination was performed at λmax 275 nm according to the equation of the calibration curve y = 0,00216x–0,03.

It has been found that when conducting the research with quantitative factors the statistical methods for processing the results of experiments are used. It has been determined that the regression analysis allows us to present the dynamics of changes in the pharmacopoeial characteristics studied from variable quantitative factors in a compact form. It has been found that regression equations enable the researcher to effectively search for optimal conditions for conducting technological operations and are local criteria for finding the optimal solution. It has been proven that the need to optimize several criteria simultaneously when developing the technology of a medicinal product allows considering the tasks of multi-criteria selection in the pharmaceutical research as a special class of decision-making problems that are on the verge between the research of operations for well-structured quantitative situations and decision-making tasks, which methods of solving differ.\u0000Conclusions. To determine the optimal solution in the course of the pharmaco-technological development, a method for finding an ideal point has been proposed as a synthesis of mathematical calculations and decision-making procedures by a researcher. The search is conducted in the range of acceptable values of variables and determines their totality, which is able to provide a set of values of pharmaco-technological criteria that is closest to the optimal option determined by the researcher. This approach involves preliminary solution of single-criterion optimization problems for each individual criterion and reduction of all to a mathematical form that determines the minimum deviation of the objective functions obtained from the optimal values.","PeriodicalId":19221,"journal":{"name":"News of Pharmacy","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81128749","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
