-
What are pharmaceutic ingredients?
- Dosage form components that contribute to the shape, form, taste, texture and stability of the product

- Bioavailability
-
What is Pharmaceutics important?
in-depth understanding of traditional pharmaceutical dosage forms as well as innovative new drug delivery systems
-
What is preformulation?
- process of optimizing a drug through the determination of its physical and chemical properties
- including: the determination of any possible interactions in the final form
-
What three properties need to be evaluated in preformulation studies?
- chemical
- physical
- biological
-
What are the chemical properties that need to be studied in preformulation?
- structure
- form
- purity
- reactivity
-
What physical features need to be studied in preformulation?
- microscopic and macroscopic properties
- Drug and drug product stability
- General : pKa, solubility, dissolution, polymorphism, partition coefficient
-
What type of property is studied when you evaluate the pKa, partition coefficient, solubility, dissolution, and polymorphism of a drug product?
Physical properties
-
What biologic properties are studied during preformulation?
- Ability to get to the site of action
- Ability to elicit a response
-
What are the five Macroscopic properties listed in class?
- Color
- Odor
- Appearance
- Density
- Flow properties
-
Color, odor, appearance, flow properties and density are what type of property?
Macroscopic
-
What are the three microscopic properties discussed in class?
- Crystal habit
- Particle size
- Size distribution
-
What type of property are: size distribution, particle size, and crystal habit?
Microscopic properties
-
What USP chapter describes federal obligations for Macroscopic properties?
616
-
What type of densities measurements exist?
- True density
- Bulk density
- Tapped density
-
What is true density?
Density of the actual solid material
-
What is bulk density?
The mass of a powder divided by the volume (includes spaces between particles)
-
What is the tapped density?
Mass divided by the volume obtained by tapping a cylinder repeatedly (compressing the spaces between the particles)
-
How is the true density obtained?
- For Non-porous material = volume is obtained by displacement in an insoluble liquid
- For porous material = volume is measured using a helium densitometer
-
What would you use a helium densiometer for?
To measure the volume of a porous substance to obtain the true density
-
What type of density is obtained by dividing the bulk mass by the bulk volume (volume is inclusive of the spaces between particles)?
Bulk density
-
What is the angle of repose?
 - The angle of the side of a pile of drug powder/granule
- The steepest angle of the dip of the slope relative to the horizonal
-
What is the equation for the angle of respose?
- tan (angle of repose) = usus = coeff. of static friction
-
What is the range of angles or repose?
0-90 degrees
