The equation of the best-fit least squares regression lines for FTC, TNF and EFV were y = 0.0191x+0.0007, y = 0.0163x+0.0116 and y = 0.01x+0.016, respectively. The method is accurate as the y-intercept was < 2% of the detector response for all ARV, and the method is precise in terms of intra- and inter-assay precision as all % RSD < 2%. The stability-indicating nature of the method was demonstrated under acidic, alkaline and oxidative stress in addition to UV exposure and elevated temperatures, and the individual chromatograms were overlaid using Empower® 3 Software to establish whether there was interference with the peaks of interest. The forced degradation studies demonstrated the selectivity of the method for the ARV compounds. The method was applied to assay and in vitro dissolution studies of commercially available tablets. The amount of each active ingredient released from Atripla® was determined and compared to the amount of each drug released from Aspen Efavirenz® and Truvada® (a combination of FTC and TNF). The percent FTC released from Atripla® and Truvada® was similar based on the acceptance criteria for immediate-release BCS class 1 compounds. Statistical analysis was undertaken to compare the dissolution profiles of FTC, TNF and EFV. The percent of these compounds released in these studies indicate that bioequivalence testing would be required to declare these products interchangeable. The validated RP-HPLC and in vitro dissolution test method are suitable for routine quality control testing of solid oral dosage forms containing EFV, FTC and TNF, and as the dissolution method can discriminate between different formulations of the same molecule, these tools can also be used for analysis during formulation development studies. The method is not suitable for the analysis of the ARV plasma due to lack of sensitivity and an inability to quantitate the compounds at the required concentration levels. The use of HPLC with mass spectroscopy for quantitation would enhance the sensitivity of the method and may eliminate the quantitation of the molecules in the presence of interference that was observed when using UV detection. Fixed dose combination tablets are convenient for patient therapy and it is likely that in the future more molecules will be formulated into such dosage forms. However formulations such as these can pose significant difficulties when developing and using analytical methods for the quantitation of all compounds in the dosage form at the same time, in particular when the compounds have vastly different physico-chemical properties that impact the quality of a separation and therefore the analysis. Therefore when embarking on the development of FDC product cognisance of the difficulties of developing single methods for the analyses is required and approaches to overcome these difficulties should be considered.]]> Thu 13 May 2021 08:54:37 SAST ]]> http://vital.seals.ac.za:8080/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:28538 Thu 13 May 2021 07:11:33 SAST ]]> http://vital.seals.ac.za:8080/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:27441 Thu 13 May 2021 07:08:53 SAST ]]> http://vital.seals.ac.za:8080/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:26602 Thu 13 May 2021 06:31:38 SAST ]]> http://vital.seals.ac.za:8080/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:28404 Thu 13 May 2021 06:13:40 SAST ]]> http://vital.seals.ac.za:8080/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:28227 Thu 13 May 2021 06:06:37 SAST ]]> http://vital.seals.ac.za:8080/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:26598 Thu 13 May 2021 05:29:58 SAST ]]> http://vital.seals.ac.za:8080/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:35422 Thu 13 May 2021 05:26:53 SAST ]]> http://vital.seals.ac.za:8080/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:26704 Thu 13 May 2021 04:45:06 SAST ]]> http://vital.seals.ac.za:8080/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:28592 Thu 13 May 2021 03:43:13 SAST ]]> http://vital.seals.ac.za:8080/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:28599 Thu 13 May 2021 03:29:39 SAST ]]> http://vital.seals.ac.za:8080/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:28419 Thu 13 May 2021 03:17:54 SAST ]]> http://vital.seals.ac.za:8080/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:26600 Thu 13 May 2021 02:49:04 SAST ]]> http://vital.seals.ac.za:8080/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:35414 Thu 13 May 2021 02:20:53 SAST ]]> http://vital.seals.ac.za:8080/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:28223 Thu 13 May 2021 02:15:56 SAST ]]> http://vital.seals.ac.za:8080/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:31466 Thu 13 May 2021 02:05:15 SAST ]]> http://vital.seals.ac.za:8080/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:26601 5% w/v led to a reduction in DLC and EE and an increase in PS with minimal impact on the ZP.

The formulation composition identified was subsequently used for the optimization of the manufacturing parameters viz. sonication time and amplitude, using a Central Composite Design (CCD) . The LC and EE, in vitro CLA release, cytotoxicity, osmolarity, pH, degree of crystallinity and lipid modification, elemental analysis and surface morphology of the optimized batch was investigated and mon itored to ensure that CLA - loaded NLC, of the desirable quality, had been produced. On the day of manufacture the mean PS and PDI of the optimized CLA - loaded NLC formulation adjusted to physiological osmolarity (250 – 450 mOsm/kg) was 461.9 ± 40.16 nm and 0. 523 ± 0.104, respectively. The ZP for the optimized NLC generated on the day of manufacture using HPLC grade water as the dispersion medium was - 20.5 ± 4.82 mV. The pH and osmolarity of the optimized CLA - loaded NLC formulation was 7.76 ± 0.01 and 316 ± iii 2 m Osm/Kg, respectively and the EE was 88.62 ± 0.23 %. The optimized NLC exhibited a decreased crystallinity in comparison to the bulk lipid materials. DSC, WAXS and FT - IR revealed that CLA was molecularly dispersed in the nanocarriers. The optimized CLA - load ed NLC exhibited muco - adhesive properties, when tested under stationary conditions using laser doppler anemometry (LDA). The optimized formulation also exhibited sustained release of CLA over 24 hours during in vitro release testing and CLA release was bes t described using the Baker - Lonsdale model . The cumulative % CLA released over 24 hours was 56.13 ± 0.23% and mass balance analysis revealed 41.38 ± 0.02% CLA had been retained in the NLC. In vitro cytotoxicity testing revealed that the optimized CLA - NLC w ere less cytotoxic to HeLa cells when compared to CLA alone and further confirmed that the lipids and excipients used in these studies were of GRAS status . Stability studies revealed that the EE reduced over 28 days by 14.42% and 5.14% when stored at 4 °C and 22 °C , respectively. In addition, the particle size increased from the nm to μm range for samples stored at 22 °C. The findings are a good starting point but require further optimization to ensure prolongation of stability. In addition , the technology requires additional developmental studies and a powder for reconstitution for use as a single - dose considered as single dose packaging may be a solution to the compromised formulation stability observed in these studies. The CLA - NLC produced in these stu dies exhibit sound product attributes which serve as a useful foundation for the novel delivery of antibiotics to the eye. The results suggest that the optimized NLC have the potential to enhance precorneal retention and increase ocular availability of CLA , which in turn may be useful to reduce the required dose and dosing frequency when administering CLA as a reconstituted solution to treat susceptible organisms that infect ocular tissues.]]> Fri 06 Aug 2021 09:14:42 SAST ]]>
