Solubility Of Maxifloxacin And Ethenonamigen

367 Words2 Pages

Solubility is a thermodynamic process which determines “how much” of the solute dissolves in a solvent, whereas dissolution is a kinetic process which determines “how long” it takes to reach the value. Both these processes are important in determining the residence time of an inhaled drug locally in the lungs. Equilibrium solubilities of moxifloxacin and ethionamide were determined in PBS, pH 7.4 without and with lung surfactant, Curosurf®. Solubilities of moxifloxacin and ethionamide (Table 1) in PBS were found to be 17.68 ± 0.85 mg/mL and 0.46 ± 0.02 mg/mL while in 0.4% curosurf were found to be 20.76 ± 0.35 mg/mL and 0.56 ± 0.03 mg/mL, respectively. Solubility of moxifloxacin was ~38 time higher than ethionamide in both the media tested. The addition of lung surfactant (0.4% curosurf) has significantly (p>0.05) increased the solubility of both the drugs. …show more content…

However, the addition of surfactant increased the wettability of the drug, easily dispersed in the medium and showed increased solubility similar to the previous reports (10, 12, 29,

Acetaminophen Within The Body Lab Report

758 Words | 4 Pages

The purpose of this experiment was to understand the pharmacokinetics of the drug acetaminophen within the body, specifically focusing on its partition coefficient, drug protein interaction and its bioavailability through various form of administration. The bioavailability of the drug was determined to be 100% for IV because the drug is injected directly into the systemic circulation in its active form and this is also visible on Figure 4, where the initial concentration of drug is much higher than in PO and IP. For PO and IP administration, the bioavailability was determined to be 72.6% and 39.1%, respectively. This makes sense because both of these type of administration involve the first-pass effect where a portion of the drug is metabolized by peripheral organs, especially the liver in this case, and therefore the amount of active drug reaching the circulation is less. PO administration, however has a much higher content reaching the circulation than IP, because the IP route involves passing through the whole gastrointestinal tract before being absorbed in the liver while the IP route injects the drug into the

How does the type of dissolvent in the water affect the number of drops that can fit on a penny? We will attempt to find the answer to this question using the hypothesis “If we use salt water solution, then there will be more drops on the penny. ” We will use the materials salt, sugar, lemonade mix, flour, a beaker, a pipette, paper towels, a stirring rod, a graduated cylinder, and some tap

Pros And Cons Of Antivenin (Crotalidae) Polyvalent

203 Words | 1 Pages

Antivenin (Crotalidae) Polyvalent (ACP) has been the standard available treatment for copperhead bites. ACP is provided as dry powders and require reconstitution before administration. Reconstitution can take up to 60 minutes and should be initiated immediately when the patient arrives in the emergency department. ACP can be reconstituted by injecting 10 mL of supplied sterile water diluent into each vial and swirling (not shaking) to mix, or by diluting 10 vials of antivenin in 1 L of normal saline. The reconstituted antivenin (amount will vary, depending on amount required) is then diluted in 500 mL of normal saline or 5 percent dextrose in water, and a trial dose of 5 to 10 mL is administered intravenously over five minutes.

Case 1 1. Even though the patient is feeling better and has a stomachache from taking amoxicillin, I would tell him to keep taking the medication until the prescription runs out. Not treating his infection completely can make it come back stronger. Also, stopping amoxicillin too soon can lead to bacteria that are resistant to it. I would tell him to each something before and after taking amoxicillin to help stop the stomach from aching.

Table of contents Introduction 4 Biological background 5 Alternative views for implementing antimicrobial stewardship programs 6 Alternative views against implementing antimicrobial stewardship programs 6 Conclusion 7 Bibliography 8 Introduction The World Health Organisation has announced antibiotic resistance and the rise of superbugs as a threat to human race. Superbugs are defined as bacteria equipped with antibiotic resistance genes. The affected bacteria can transfer the antibiotic resistance genes to other bacteria and completely paralyse humans to combat against bacterial infections (News Limited 2014).

Respiratory Therapy

2352 Words | 10 Pages

It is important for the respiratory therapist to check the patients vital signs as well as monitor their tidal volumes and saturation. By doing this they will be able to see if there is a good response to the instillation of the surfactant by "improvement in saturation with oxygen and or a reduction in Fi02 requirement, decreased work of breathing, improvement in lung volumes, as seen by an increase in tidal volume during pressure ventilation or improved aeration on the chest X-ray. This may occur very rapidly and requires close monitoring by the respiratory therapist to avoid over ventilation and lung injury in the period of time directly after surfactant replacement therapy". [#4 Peretta] With added surfactant the oxygenation will improve and there will be a decrease in surface tension and an increase in the are of gas

Meconium Aspiration Syndrome (MAS)

1271 Words | 6 Pages

It is secreted by type II alveolar cells, which secrete alveolar fluid (surfactant is a component of alveolar fluid). Surfactant is a mixture of phospholipids and lipoproteins, which serves to lower the surface tension of alveolar fluid, 30 preventing collapse of alveoli and maintaining their patency 8. Meconium, when aspirated into the lungs, deactivates surfactant. Research has also shown that meconium disturbs surfactant synthesis, with a study concluding that surfactant phosphatidylcholine (a phospholipoprotein which forms about 85% of the lipid component in surfactant) concentrations are low in infants with meconium aspiration syndrome 14. In addition, another study has demonstrated the surfactant-stripping effect of meconium, due to the high minimum surface tensions of the major free fatty acids of meconium (palmitic, stearic, and oleic acids) 15,16.

The Alliance For The Prudent Use Of Antibiotics

363 Words | 2 Pages

Introduction What is antibiotic resistance? According to the Alliance for the Prudent Use of Antibiotics (2014), “Antibiotic resistance occurs when an antibiotic has lost its ability to effectively control or kill bacterial growth.” In other words, the antibiotics no longer work because they are resistant to the bacteria. This happens when an antibiotic is used inappropriately, or too frequently. If we continue to misuse antibiotics our bacteria will continue to be more resistant, to the point of not being able to fight off our source of illnesses whatsoever.
