This research aimed to evaluate a new approach for the preparation of mucoadhesive microparticles and to design an innovative vaginal delivery systems for econazole nitrate (ECN) able to enhance the drug antifungal activity.Seven different formulations were prepared by spray-congealing: a lipid–hydrophilic matrix (Gelucire® 53/10) was used as carrier and several mucoadhesive polymers such as chitosan, sodium carboxymethylcellulose and poloxamers (Lutrol® F68 and F127) were added. All microparticles were characterized and compared for morphology, particle size, drug loading and solubility in simulated vaginal fluid, bioadhesion to mucosal tissue, dissolution behaviour and for their physicochemical properties. The antifungal activity of the microparticles against a strain of Candida albicans ATCC 10231 was also investigated.Non-aggregated microspheres with high yields (>90%, w/w) and with prevalent size in the range 100–355 μm were obtained. Both poloxamers significantly (p < 0.01) improved the solubility and in vitro bioavailability of the low solubility drug and the mucoadhesive strength. Poloxamers/Gelucire®-based microparticles exhibited an inhibition effect on the C. albicans growth, suggesting their use as an effective treatment for vaginal candidiasis, with potential for reduced administration frequency.In conclusion the results demonstrated that spray-congealing technology can be considered a novel and solvent-free approach for the production of mucoadhesive microparticles for the vaginal delivery of ECN. 相似文献

Effective oral insulin delivery remains a challenge to the pharmaceutical industry. In this study, insulin-loaded microparticles for oral delivery were prepared with mucin and sodium alginate combined at different ratios using a novel method based on polymer coacervation and diffusion filling. Some physical characteristics of the various insulin-loaded microparticles such as particle size, morphology and compressibility indices were determined. The microparticles were filled into hard gelatin capsules and the in vitro insulin release as well as the blood glucose reduction after oral administration to diabetic rabbits were determined. The microparticles formed were generally multi-particulate, discrete and free flowing. Before insulin loading, microparticles were round and smooth, becoming fluffier, less spherical and larger with rough and pitted surface after insulin loading. The insulin content of the microparticles increased with increase in their sodium alginate content. The various insulin-loaded microparticles prepared with the mucinated sodium alginate when encapsulated exhibited lag time before insulin release. The time taken to reach maximum insulin release from the various formulations varied with the mucin–sodium alginate ratio mix. The mean dissolution time of insulin from the microparticles prepared with sodium alginate, mucin, sodium alginate: mucin ratios of 1:1, 3:1 and 1:3 was 11.21 ± 0.75, 3.3 ± 0.42, 6.69 ± 023, 8.52 ± 0.95 and 3.48 ± 0.65 (min.), respectively. The percentage blood glucose reduction for the subcutaneously administered insulin was significantly (p < 0.001) higher than for the formulations. The blood glucose reduction effect produced by the orally administered insulin-loaded microparticles prepared with three parts of sodium alginate and one part of mucin after 5 h was, however, equal to that produced by the subcutaneously administered insulin solution, an indication that it is an effective alternative for the delivery of insulin. 相似文献

The potential of antifungal agents used as antimicrobial lock therapy (ALT) for the conservative management of catheter-related candidemia has not been fully defined. We sought to determine the antifungal effect of high-dose doxycycline (DOX), alone or in combination with standard concentrations of amphotericin B (AMB), caspofungin (CAS) or fluconazole (FLC), against biofilms formed by Candida albicans in vitro. DOX alone (at 2048 μg/mL and 1024 μg/mL) demonstrated up to an 85% reduction of the metabolic activity of the C. albicans biofilm. Regardless of the concentration tested, FLC alone showed minimal activity (mean 22.9% reduction) against the C. albicans biofilm. When DOX 2048 μg/mL was used in combination with FLC, antifungal activity also increased up to 85%, suggesting an additive effect. DOX 128 μg/mL in combination with FLC demonstrated synergy (mean 58.3% reduction). The combination of DOX 2048 μg/mL or 512 μg/mL and AMB was superior to AMB alone at low concentrations (0.25–0.03125 μg/mL). However, DOX 128 μg/mL was antagonistic in combination with low concentrations of AMB. Maximal efficacy against the biofilm was observed with CAS at 8–0.25 μg/mL compared with FLC and AMB alone. A paradoxical effect (PE) occurred with CAS at 16 μg/mL, which showed a marked reduction in antifungal activity compared with lower concentrations of CAS. CAS at 16 μg/mL in combination with either DOX 2048 μg/mL or 512 μg/mL resulted in attenuation of the PE. These findings suggest that a high-dose DOX-based ALT strategy in combination with traditional antifungal agents may be useful for the treatment of C. albicans biofilms. 相似文献

A simple, rapid, and sensitive liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) method was applied to pharmacokinetic study of a neuroactive oleanolic-glycoside saponin, hederacolchiside E from SK-PC-B70M, a standardized extract of Pulsatilla koreana in rat. Rat plasma samples were pretreated by protein precipitation with acetonitrile, eluted from C18 column, and analyzed using electrospray ionization (ESI)-MS/MS in negative ion mode. Digoxin was used as an internal standard. The standard curves were linear (r > 0.997) over the concentration ranges of 2–500 ng/mL. The intra- and inter-day precisions were measured to be below 9% and accuracy between 90 and 111% for all quality control samples at 2, 20, 100, and 500 ng/mL (n = 5). The lower limits of quantification (LLOQ) for hederacolchiside E was 2 ng/mL and the limit of detection (LOD) 0.5 ng/mL using 20 μL of plasma sample. Subsequently, hederacolchiside E was determined in rat plasma samples after oral administration of SK-PC-B70M. The mean maximum plasma concentrations of hederacolchiside E were 0.07, 0.13, and 0.36 μg/mL and the mean areas under the plasma concentration versus time curve 0.56, 1.27, and 6.46 μg h/mL at doses of 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg, respectively, which indicated non-linear pharmacokinetic pattern. In conclusion, this method was successfully applied to the pharmacokinetic study of hederacolchiside E after an oral administration of SK-PC-B70M to rats. 相似文献

In Vitro Evaluation of Microparticles and Polymer Gels for Use as Nasal Platforms for Protein Delivery 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Purpose. Nasal delivery of protein therapeutics can be compromised by the brief residence time at this mucosal surface. Some bioadhesive polymers have been suggested to extend residence time and improve protein uptake across the nasal mucosa. We examined several potential polymer platforms for their in vitro protein release, relative bioadhesive properties and induction of cytokine release from respiratory epithelium.
Methods. Starch, alginate, chitosan or Carbopol® microparticles, containing the test protein bovine serum albumin (BSA), were prepared by spray-drying and characterized by laser diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. An open-membrane system was used to determine protein release profiles and confluent, polarized Calu-3 cell sheets were used to evaluate relative bioadhesion, enhancement of protein transport and induction of cytokine release in vitro.
Results. All spray-dried microparticles averaged 2–4 m in diameter. Loaded BSA was not covalently aggregated or degraded. Starch and alginate microparticles released protein more rapidly but were less adhesive to polarized Calu-3 cells than chitosan and Carbopol® microparticles. Protein transport across polarized Calu-3 cells was enhanced from Carbopol® gels and chitosan microparticles. A mixture of chitosan microparticles with lysophosphatidylcholine increased protein transport further. Microparticles prepared from either chitosan or starch microparticles, applied apically, induced the basolateral release of IL-6 and IL-8 from polarized Calu-3 cells. Release of other cytokines, such as IL-l, TNF-, GM-CSF and TGF-, were not affected by an apical exposure to polymer formulations.
Conclusions. We have described two systems for the in vitro assessment of potential nasal platforms for protein delivery. Based upon these assessments, Carbopol® gels and chitosan microparticles provided the most desirable characteristics for protein therapeutic and protein antigen delivery, respectively, of the formulations examined. 相似文献

Homogeneous dispersions of insulin and recombinant human growth hormone (rh-GH) in tristearin/phosphatidylcholine/PEG mixtures (1.3:1.3:0.25:0.15 w/w ratio) were processed by supercritical carbon dioxide gas micro-atomisation to produce protein-loaded lipid particles. The process yielded spherical particles, with a 197 ± 94 nm mean diameter, and the insulin and rh-GH recovery in the final product was 57 ± 8% and 48 ± 5%, respectively. In vitro, the proteins were slowly released for about 70–80 h according to a diffusive mechanism. In vivo, the insulin and glucose profiles in plasma obtained by subcutaneous administration of a dose of particles containing 2 μg insulin to diabetic mice overlapped that obtained with 2 μg of insulin in solution. Administration of a dose of particles containing 5 μg insulin resulted in faster and longer glycaemia reduction. Oral administration of 20 and 50 μg insulin equivalent particles produced a significant hypoglycaemic effect. The glucose levels decreased since 2 h after administration, reaching about 50% and 70% glucose reduction in 1–2 h with the lower and higher dose, respectively. As compared to subcutaneous administration, the relative pharmacological bioavailability obtained with 20 and 50 μg equivalent insulin particles was 7.7% and 6.7%, respectively. Daily subcutaneous administration of 40 μg of rh-GH-loaded particles to hypophysectomised rats induced similar body weight increase as 40 μg rh-GH in solution. The daily oral administration of 400 μg rh-GH equivalent particles elicited a slight body weight increase, which corresponded to a relative pharmacological bioavailability of 3.4% compared to subcutaneous administration. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to evaluate the steady-state pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of piperacillin/tazobactam, administered by prolonged infusion, in hospitalised patients requiring antimicrobial therapy. Thirteen patients received 4.5 g every 8 h (q8h), infused over 4 h, and pharmacokinetic parameters were determined by non-compartmental methods. Monte Carlo simulations (10 000 patients) were performed to calculate the cumulative fraction of response (CFR) for seven Gram-negative pathogens using minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) data from the Meropenem Yearly Susceptibility Test Information Collection (2004–2007, USA) as well as the probability of target attainment (PTA) at MICs ranging from 1 μg/mL to 64 μg/mL. The pharmacodynamic target was free piperacillin concentration remaining above the MIC for 50% of the dosing interval. Mean ± standard deviation maximum and minimum serum concentrations, half-life, volume of distribution at steady-state and systemic clearance of piperacillin were 108.2 ± 31.7 μg/mL, 27.6 ± 26.3 μg/mL, 2.1 ± 1.2 h, 22.1 ± 4.0 L and 8.6 ± 3.0 L/h, respectively. The CFR was >90% for Escherichia coli, Serratia marcescens and Citrobacter spp., 88.6% for Enterobacter spp., 87% for Klebsiella pneumoniae, 85.5% for Pseudomonas aeruginosa and 52.8% for Acinetobacter spp. The PTA was 100%, 81.1% and 12.3% at MICs of ≤16 μg/mL, 32 μg/mL and 64 μg/mL, respectively. Piperacillin/tazobactam 4.5 g q8h infused over 4 h provides excellent target attainment for bacterial pathogens with MICs ≤ 16 μg/mL. However, the CFR was <90% for four of the seven Gram-negative pathogens evaluated. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to prepare microparticles entrapping ovalbumin (OVA) as a model antigen to induce immune responses in mice following oral vaccination. In this study, calcium-alginate and calcium-yam-alginate microparticles were prepared by crosslinking alginate with calcium chloride solution using an electrospraying technique. 0.1% (w/v) of methylated N-(4-N,N-dimethylaminocinnamyl) chitosan (TM65CM50CS) was used to coat microparticles entrapping an initial OVA of 20% w/w to polymer. The results indicated that the coated microparticles were spherical and had a smooth surface, with an average size of 1–3 μm, and were positively charged. In addition, the particles demonstrated a greater swelling and mucoadhesive properties than did uncoated microparticles. The in vitro release from the microparticles indicated that the coated microparticles resulted in more sustained release than uncoated microparticles. The cytotoxicity results showed that all of the formulations were safe. The in vivo oral administration demonstrated that at the same amount of 250 μg OVA, coated microparticles exhibited the highest in vivo adjuvant activity in both IgG and IgA immunogenicity. 相似文献

A sensitive and specific method using high performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC–MS/MS) for the determination of ribavirin monophosphate (RBV-MP) and ribavirin triphosphate (RBV-TP) in cells has been developed and validated. In this method, ribavirin phosphorylated metabolites were extracted and separated by anion exchange solid phase extraction (SPE). The RBV-MP and RBV-TP fractions were dephosphorylated using acid phosphatase and further purified by phenyl boronate SPE prior to HPLC–MS/MS analysis. 13C5-uridine was added as internal standard to obtain better accuracy and precision of the analysis. The MS/MS detector was optimized at multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) using positive electrospray ionization to detect 245 → 113 and 250 → 133 transitions for ribavirin and internal standard, respectively. The calibration curve was linear over a concentration range of 0.01–10 μg/mL with a limit of quantitation of 0.01 μg/mL. Mean inter-assay accuracy and precision for RBV-MP and RBV-TP quality control samples at 0.03, 0.3 and 8 μg/mL were 5% and 10%, respectively. This method was successfully used for the in vitro determination of RBV-MP and RBV-TP in CEMss cells cultured with RBV. 相似文献

Multicriteria optimization methodology was applied for development of isocratic reversed-phased HPLC method for simultaneous determination of mycophenolic acid (MPA) and mycophenolic acid glucuronide (MPAG) in human urine and plasma. In the first stage of method development, pH value of the water phase, percentage of acetonitrile, temperature of the column and flow rate of the mobile phase were investigated using fractional factorial design.Afterwards, the optimal conditions were found employing central composite design and Derringer's desirability function. Two goals were considered, the retention factor of the MPAG to be in the range, between 0.8 and 1.118 which allowed well separation of MPAG from the urine and plasma peaks, and the shortest possible total analysis run time. Then, the obtained sigmoid functions were used to transform the optimization criteria into the desirability values.The satisfactory chromatographic conditions were obtained with mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile–phosphate buffer (pH 2.4; 0.04 M KH2PO4) (28:72, v/v). The separation was performed on C18 Chromolith column (100 mm × 4.6 mm) with flow rate of 5 mL/min, the temperature of the column was 25 °C and the chosen wavelength for simultaneous determination of MPA and MPAG was 215 nm. The MPAG eluted at 0.552 min and the duration of run was 3.092 min.Afterwards, the method was subjected to validation. Linearity was observed over the concentration range of 1–50 μg/mL for MPA and 1–500 μg/mL for MPAG in urine and 1–60 μg/mL for MPA and 1–70 μg/mL for MPAG in plasma matrix. The method showed intra-day and inter-day precision with relative standard deviation lower then 5% and accuracy as recovery (%) between 100 ± 5%. 相似文献

The objective of this work was to assess and compare the absorption promoting effect of different molecular-weight chitosans, trimethyl chitosans and thiolated chitosans for intranasal absorption of 2,3,5,6-tetramethylpyrazine phosphate (TMPP). An in situ nasal perfusion technique in rats was utilized to test the rate and extent of TMPP absorption in situ. In vivo studies were carried out in rats and the pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated and compared with that of intravenous injection. All the chitosan derivatives investigated could enhance the intranasal absorption of TMPP significantly. However, thiolation could not improve the absorption-enhancing capacity of chitosan remarkably even when the thiolation ratio was as high as 152 μmol/g. In contrast, trimethylated chitosan exhibited stronger absorption-enhancing ability than the homopolymer chitosan. The permeation enhancing effect of chitosan increased with increasing molecular weight up to Mw 100 kDa. In vivo studies indicated that chitosan 100 kDa and TMC 50 kDa had comparable absorption-enhancing effect but chitosan 100 kDa functioned for more than 120 min versus 90 min for TMC. A good correlation was found between the in situ absorption data and plasma concentration in vivo for the polymers investigated. This study demonstrated that both chitosan structural features and chitosan molecular weight play a key role on promoting the intranasal absorption of TMPP. Taking safety reason into account, chitosan 100 kDa is the most promising as an intranasal absorption enhancer. 相似文献

The pressurized capillary electrochromatography (pCEC) was utilized for the separation and determination of coumarins in Fructus cnidii extracts from 12 different regions. After a thorough study of analytical parameters such as acetonitrile content of the mobile phase, the concentration and pH of the buffer, and the applied voltage, a methodology was proposed to separate and determine six coumarins of F. cnidii extracts in less than 15 min. The experiments were performed in an in-house packed column with a monolithic outlet frit under the optimal conditions: pH 4.0 ammonium acetate buffer at 10 mM containing 50% acetonitrile at −6 kV applied voltage. The calibration curves were linear in the range of 10.0–100.0 μg/mL for bergapten, 20.0–200.0 μg/mL for imperatorin, 5.0–400.0 μg/mL for osthole, 10.0–100.0 μg/mL for 2′-acetylangelicin, 10.0–200.0 μg/mL for oroselone, and 10.0–200.0 μg/mL for O-acetylcolumbianetin. The correlation coefficients were between 0.9967 and 0.9995. With this pCEC system, fingerprints of F. cnidii extracts were preliminarily established to distinguish three types of coumarins by characteristic peaks, and the quality of various sources of raw materials was evaluated by determining the contents of six coumarins. 相似文献

ContextHuoxiangzhengqi oral liquid (HXZQ-OL), a traditional Chinese medicine formula, has antibacterial, anti-inflammation and gastrointestinal motility regulation effects.ObjectiveThe study investigates the anti-allergic activity and underlying mechanism of HXZQ-OL.Materials and methodsIgE/Ag-mediated RBL-2H3 cells were used to evaluate the anti-allergic activity of HXZQ-OL (43.97, 439.7 and 4397 μg/mL) in vitro. The release of cytokines and eicosanoids were quantified using ELISA. RT-qPCR was used to measure the gene expression of cytokines. The level of intracellular Ca2+ was measured with Fluo 3/AM. Immunoblotting analysis was performed to investigate the mechanism of HXZQ-OL. In the passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA), BALB/c mice (5 mice/group) were orally administrated with HXZQ-OL (263.8, 527.6 and 1055 mg/kg/d) or dexamethasone (5 mg/kg/d, positive control) for seven consecutive days.ResultsHXZQ-OL not only inhibited degranulation of mast cells (IC50, 123 μg/mL), but also inhibited the generation and secretion of IL-4 (IC50, 171.4 μg/mL), TNF-α (IC50, 88.4 μg/mL), LTC4 (IC50, 52.9 μg/mL) and PGD2 (IC50, 195.8 μg/mL). Moreover, HXZQ-OL suppressed the expression of IL-4 and TNF-α mRNA, as well as the phosphorylation of Fyn, Lyn and multiple downstream signalling proteins including MAPK and PI3K/NF-κB pathways. In addition, HXZQ-OL (527.5 mg/kg) attenuated the IgE-mediated PCA with 55% suppression of Evans blue exudation in mice.ConclusionsHXZQ-OL attenuated the activation of mast cell and PCA. Therefore, HXZQ-OL might be used as an alternative treatment for allergic diseases. 相似文献

pH-sensitive microparticles were prepared using trimethyl-chitosan (TMC), poly(ethylene glycol)dimethacrylate (PEGDMA) and methacrylic acid (MAA) by free radical suspension polymerization, for the oral delivery of interferon-β (INF-β). The microparticles were subsequently compressed into a suitable oral tablet formulation. A Box–Behnken experimental design was employed for generating a series of formulations with varying concentrations of TMC (0.05–0.5 g/100 mL) and percentage crosslinker (polyethylene glycol diacrylate) (3–8%, w/w of monomers), for establishment of an optimized TMC-PEGDMA-MAA copolymeric microparticles. For pragmatism, insulin was initially employed as the model peptide for undertaking the preliminary experimentation and the optimized formulation was subsequently evaluated using INF-β. The prepared copolymeric microparticulate system was characterized for its morphological, porositometric and mucoadhesive properties. The optimized microparticles with 0.5 g/100 mL TMC and 3% crosslinker had an INF-β loading efficiency of 53.25%. The in vitro release of INF-β was recorded at 74% and 3% in intestinal (pH 6.8) and gastric (pH 1.2) pH from the oral tablet formulation, respectively. The tablet was further evaluated for plasma concentration of INF-β in the New Zealand White rabbit, and compared to a known subcutaneous formulation. The system showed an astounding effective release profile over 24 h with higher INF-β plasma concentrations compared with the subcutaneous injection formulation. 相似文献

A simple and validated high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method with UV detection has been used to determine the content of andrographolide (AP) and 14-deoxy-11,12-didehydroandrographolide (DIAP) in rat plasma after oral dose of methanol extract (1 g/kg body weight) of Andrographis paniculata leaf. An increase in plasma concentration of AP and DIAP was observed from 30 min to 3 h after oral administration of the extract. The maximum plasma concentrations of AP and DIAP were 1.42 ± 0.09 μg/ml and 1.31 ± 0.04 μg/ml, respectively. Fourteen days oral treatment of rats with the methanol extract (1 g/kg body weight) followed by CCl4 administration preserved catalase (CAT), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities in erythrocytes, whereas plasma lipid peroxidation, alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST) activities were restored to values comparable with control values. Treatment of rats with CCl4 did not showed significant alteration (p > 0.05) in plasma total antioxidant status (TAS) as compare to values of control group. 相似文献

Two hundred isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis were evaluated for their susceptibility to a newly synthesised quinolone derivative, ER-2, compared with ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, levofloxacin and moxifloxacin. ER-2 and moxifloxacin showed the greatest activity [MIC for 90% of strains tested (MIC90) = 0.5 μg/mL], although levofloxacin and ciprofloxacin showed good activity with an MIC90 of 1 μg/mL. More importantly, ER-2 showed excellent activity against M. tuberculosis H37Rv both in the lungs and spleen of mice, indicating the potential therapeutic value of ER-2 against M. tuberculosis. 相似文献

The main objective of the study was to investigate the efficacy of microemulsion (ME) to facilitate bioavailability of puerarin (PUE) after oral and nasal administration. The pseudo-ternary phase diagrams were constructed to screen the ME components and optimize the ME formulation. The optimized formulation for bioavailability assessment consisted of 20% Tween 80, 20% glycerin, and 1.6% ethyl oleate. The solubility (27.8 mg/mL) of PUE in ME was significantly improved compared to that (4.58 mg/mL) of crude PUE in water. The ME droplets were spherical with a mean particle diameter of 23.4 nm. After nasal (5 mg/kg) and oral (20 mg/kg) administration of a single dose of PUE as ME to fasted rabbits, the absolute bioavailability was 34.58% and 13.54%, respectively. It showed a shorter Tmax (0.75 h) for nasal administration than that (1.0 h) for oral administration of PUE-loaded ME. The Cmax of PUE-loaded ME was 0.55 μg/mL after nasal administration and 0.64 μg/mL after oral administration, respectively. The results showed that nasal administration might be a promising route to enhance the absorption of PUE in the form of ME. 相似文献

The present research was aimed to develop and characterize a sustained release dry powder inhalable formulation of salbutamol sulphate. The salbutamol sulphate microparticles were prepared by solvent evaporation method using biodegradable polymer poly (D,L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) to produce salbutamol sulphate microparticle mixed with carrier respirable grade lactose for oral inhalation of dry powder. The drug content were estimated to produce 1 mg sustained release salbutamol sulphate per dose. Total four formulations K1, K2, K3 and K4 were prepared with 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4 ratio of salbutamol sulphate:poly (D,L-lactic-co-glycolic acid). The developed formulations were studied for physicochemical properties, in vitro drug relase and Anderson cascade impaction studies. The prepared formulations effectively releases drug for 12 h in diffusion bag studies. Based on dissolution performance the 1:1 ratio of salbutamol sulphate:poly (D,L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) produces in vitro release 92.57% at 12 h and having particle size of microparticles (D0.5μm) 5.02±0.6 and the pulmonary deposition of dry powder 34.5±3.21 (respiratory fraction in percentage). 相似文献

A high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method with UV detection at 232 nm was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of triamcinolone acetonide (TAA) and oxymetazoline hydrochloride (OXY) in nasal spray formulations. The chromatographic system consisted of a μBondapak™ CN column (150 mm × 3.9 mm), 5 μm particle size with a mobile phase composition of acetonitrile:ammonium acetate (pH 5.0, 20 mM) (10:90, v/v) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. Calibration curves were linear for both TAA and OXY in the concentration range of 2.5–25.0 μg/mL. The limit of detection and quantitation were 0.29 and 0.88 μg/mL for OXY and 0.24 and 0.73 μg/mL for TAA. The described method was further applied to the analysis and stability studies of two nasal spray formulations I and II prepared from TAA and OXY commercial nasal spray products. The stability of OXY and TAA in the commercial products and the nasal formulations I and II were analyzed after 30 days at room temperature and 30 days at 40 °C/60% relative humidity. The results of the stability study showed that OXY and TAA in the commercial nasal spray products and the nasal formulations I and II were stable at 20–25 °C (room temperature) but TAA was unstable at 40 °C/60% relative humidity. TAA exhibited more than 10% loss at 14 days in both the nasal formulations and in the commercial products. OXY showed increased degradation at 40 °C/60% relative humidity but <10%. 相似文献
