Apoptotic activity of isoespintanol derivatives in human polymorphonuclear cells
2016
Background: Inflammation is a complex physiopathologic response to different stimuli. Recently, some pharmacological strategies have been proposed that could be used for resolution of inflammation by enhancing apoptosis of inflammatory cells. Objectives: To study in vitro apoptotic activity of isoespintanol [ISO] and of two semi-synthetic derivatives, bromide isoespintanol [BrI] and demethylated isoespintanol [DMI], in human polymorphonuclear (PMN) cells. Methods: PMN were exposed to the different concentrations of ISO, BrI and DMI for 30 min in phosphate-buffered saline pH 7.4 containing 1 mg/mL glucose, 0.4 mM Mg2+, and 1.20 mM Ca2+. Viability was assessed by dimethylthiazol diphenyl tetr…
Physicochemical stability of human insulin 1 I.U./mL infusion solution in 50 mL polypropylene syringes
2021
Abstract Objectives The objective of this study was to investigate the physicochemical stability of human insulin 1 I.U./mL injection solutions (Insuman® Rapid) diluted with 0.9% NaCl solution in 50 mL disposable three-piece polypropylene syringes and stored refrigerated or at room temperature. Methods 1 I.U./mL test solutions were prepared with Insuman® Rapid and 0.9% sodium chloride infusion solution in 50 mL Original-Perfusor® syringes and BD® Perfusion syringes. Test solutions were stored for 90 days at 2–8 °C/dark or 48 h at 20–25 °C/diffuse room light in order to determine chemical stability. Additional test solutions were stored 28 days at 2–8 °C/dark followed by 24 h at 20–25 °C/dif…
European Databases on Stability and Compatibility of Injectable Medicinal Products in Europe
2020
AbstractIn hospitals, the majority of medication therapy is administered intravenously. Especially, in intensive care units, simultaneous of various injectable drugs is a common practice Drug incompatibilities have been reported to be associated with up to 60 % of all serious and life-threatening adverse drug events. Several databases are used by hospital pharmacists to answer the questions of (in)compatibility of co-administered injectable drugs. The objective of this article is to present the European databases on compatibility and stability of injectable drugs. According to a questionnaire which was sent to the National Hospital Pharmacy Associations of the 28 countries of European Commu…
Environmental and Product Contamination during the Preparation of Antineoplastic Drugs with Robotic Systems
2018
Abstract Background Robotic systems are designed to minimize the exposure to antineoplastic drugs during automated preparation. However, contamination cannot be completely excluded. The aim of the study was to evaluate the contamination with antineoplastic drugs on the working surfaces and on the outer surface of the ready-to-use products (infusion bags and syringes) during automated preparation with different versions of a robot and manual preparation. Methods Surface contamination with platinum (Pt) and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) was measured by wipe sampling and quantified by voltammetry for Pt and GC-MS for 5-FU. Sampling was performed on pre-defined locations in the working areas before and…
Estabilidad de antocianinas durante el almacenamiento de jugos de arándanos
2016
Resumen: Antecedentes: Los arándanos y productos de arándano tienen alto valor nutricional, especialmente por su alto contenido de antocianinas. Estas son potentes antioxidantes y poseen alta capacidad de secuestrar radicales libres. Así, los arándanos y productos de arándanos han resultado atractivos para los consumidores interesados en alimentos funcionales. Sin embargo, los tratamientos térmicos y posterior almacenamiento de productos alimenticios influyen en el contenido de antocianinas. La cinética de degradación de las antocianinas puede ser evaluada desde una perspectiva termodinámica, basada en funciones como energía libre, entalpía, entropía y energía de activación. Objetivos: Se e…
