Abstract
Therapeutic agents containing phosphate groups in their molecules have increasing therapeutic impact. The object of this study was to characterize the cationic polyelectrolyte Eudragit E100 (EuE100) as a carrier for drugs containing phosphate groups, using dexamethasone phosphate (DP) as a model. A series of EuE100-DP complexes was obtained by acid-base reaction in which DP neutralized 12.5-75% of the basic groups of EuE100. The solids obtained after solvent evaporation revealed by spectroscopic characterization the complete reaction between the components through the ionic interaction between the amine groups of EuE100 and the phosphate groups of DP. The reversibility of the counterion condensation, evaluated through the proton-withdrawing effect produced by the ionic exchange generated by titration with NaCl, showed a remarkable high affinity between EuE100 and DP. In line, drug delivery in bicompartimental Franz cells toward water as receptor medium was very slow (2% in 6 h). However, it was increased as water was replaced by NaCl solution, which upon diffusion generates ionic exchange. A sustained release of DP with noticeable zero order kinetics accounted for a remarkable high affinity, mainly due to the electrostatic attraction. The release rate remains constant regardless of the saline concentration of the media. Besides, the delivery control is maintained even in gastric simulated fluid, a property not informed previously for EuE100 complexes.

Abstract
Literature data relevant to the decision to allow a waiver of in vivo bioequivalence (BE) testing for the approval of new multisource and reformulated immediate release (IR) solid oral dosage forms containing ciprofloxacin hydrochloride as the only active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) are reviewed. Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride's solubility and permeability, its therapeutic use and index, pharmacokinetics, excipient interactions and reported BE/bioavailability (BA) problems were taken into consideration. Solubility and BA data indicate that ciprofloxacin hydrochloride is a BCS Class IV drug. Therefore, a biowaiver based approval of ciprofloxacin hydrochloride containing IR solid oral dosage forms cannot be recommended for either new multisource drug products or for major scale-up and postapproval changes (variations) to existing drug products.

Abstract
Two polymorphic forms of a novel pharmaceutical compound, ciprofloxacin-saccharinate (CIP-SAC), are analyzed using one dimensional (1D) and two dimensional (2D) (1)H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) at fast magic angle spinning (MAS). Additionally (15)N spectroscopy and (1)H-(13)C correlation experiments were performed to complement our conclusions. The 1D (1)H NMR spectra of CIP and complexes reveal valuable information about the ionic bonding between ciprofloxacin and saccharine. Additionally, these spectra allow us to perform a clear characterization of each solid form, giving the number of molecules per unit cell in one of the polymorphs. From 2D (1)H-(1)H spectra obtained through double quantum correlations we can arrive at important conclusions about the hydrogen bonding, conformation, and intra and inter-molecular interactions present in these compounds. Comparing and contrasting the (1)H-(1)H correlation data obtained for both polymorphic forms and taking into account the single crystal structure data existing for the solid form CIP-SAC (II) was possible to extract some conclusions on the polymorph CIP-SAC (I) where no single crystal information is available. (1)H MAS NMR is shown to be an important tool in the field of polymorphism and for the characterization of multicomponent pharmaceutical compounds.

Abstract
A new polymorphic form of ciprofloxacin saccharinate (CIP-SAC II) is presented, and compared with CIP-SAC I, a different polymorph which we had previously reported. The characterization techniques used were single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetry analysis and infrared and (13)C solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The results obtained from these techniques are consistent. Differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis showed that the reaction between the precursors is completed and the crystalline forms of both salts obtained (I and II) are highly pure. Infrared spectroscopy gave clear evidence of a salt formation. Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy would indicate some degree of qualitative similarity in the intermolecular interaction scheme in both polymorphs, while thermal analysis data might indicate a difference in quantitative terms. A thorough single crystal structure determination of the new form CIP-SAC II allowed disclosing the most important inter- and intramolecular interactions.

Abstract
Mucoadhesive tablets containing nystatin (10 mg) were evaluated in vivo. The assays were carried out with 12 healthy volunteers and the concentration of nystatin in saliva was determined at different times. Tablets remained attached to the buccal mucosa during 270 min +/- 30 min. No evidence of ulceration or bleeding was observed. Typical appearance of intact human buccal mucosa was seen before and after contact with the tablet. The tablets were well accepted by the volunteers, although most of the volunteers reported a light bitter taste, probably due to nystatin. Concentration of nystatin in saliva was several times higher than MIC over a period of approximately 4.5 h, which was in agreement with the behavior observed in vitro. These results allow us to infer that the administration of these mucoadhesive tablets could be advantageous compared to conventional formulations and mucoadhesive extended-release tablets might produce better therapeutic performance than conventional formulations in the treatment of oral candidosis.

Abstract
6-O-Ascorbic acid alkanoates (ASCn) are amphiphilic molecules having physical-chemical properties that depend on the alkyl chain length. The derivatives of low molecular weight (n < 11) have enough aqueous solubility to produce self-assemblies at room temperature ( approximately 25 degrees C), while those with longer alkyl chains possess a critical micellar temperature (CMT) higher than 30 degrees C. At higher temperatures (T degrees > CMT), ASCn aqueous suspensions turn into either micellar solutions or gel phases, depending on the length of the hydrophobic chain. On cooling, coagels are produced, which possess a lamellar structure that exhibit sharp X-ray diffraction patterns and optical birefringence. The semisolid consistency of such coagels is an interesting property to formulate dermatological pharmaceutical dosage forms able to solubilize and stabilize different drugs. The objective of the present study was the evaluation of the enhancing permeation effect of ASCn with different chain lengths and to correlate permeability changes with histological effects. With this purpose, ASCn coagels containing anthralin (antipsoriasic drug) or fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC, hydrophobic fluorescent marker) were assayed on rat skin (ex vivo) and mice skin (in vivo), respectively. Also, histological studies were performed aimed at detecting some possible side effects of ASCn. No inflammatory cellular response was observed in the skin when ASCn coagels were applied, suggesting non-irritating properties. Light microscopy indicated slight disruption and fragmentation of stratum corneum. The penetration of ASCn through rat skin epidermis was very fast and quantitatively significant. The permeation of anthralin was significantly increased when the drug was vehiculized in ASCn coagels, compared to other pharmaceutical systems. The results indicated that ASC12 seems to have the highest enhancing effect on FITC permeation. ASC12 appears to be the compound that possesses the highest capacity to enhance the penetration of the drugs. Furthermore, it has the highest permeation of the serie.

Abstract
This paper deals with the formulation of the mucoadhesive films containing nystatin. The design and formulation of the films were based on the mucoadhesive properties of carbomer 934P (CB) and carboxymethycellulose (NaCMC), and also on the plasticizer properties of polyethyleneglycol 400 (PEG400). A surfactant (ascorbyl palmitate, ASC16) was added to the system to aid in nystatin dispersion. Addition of these last two components produced a significant improvement in physical-mechanical properties (flexibility and strength) as well as an increase in the nystatin release rate. X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) and scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) were used to evaluate the morphological changes in the films while PEG400 and ASC16 were added to the formulations. Furthermore, the in vitro nystatin profile release was determined.

Abstract
In this work, pre-formulation studies concerning the design of novel mucoadhesive films have been carried out. The rationality of the design is based on the utilization of mucoadhesive polymers (carbomer and carboxymethylcellulose), a plasticizer (polyethyleneglycol 400, PEG400) and a surfactant (ascorbyl palmitate, ASC16). In the gel preparation, the casting method using water as a solvent was employed. To provide a better understanding of the structural arrangements produced during the casting process, the changes in morphology (Cryo-TEM) and rheology (viscosity) of the film forming gel were evaluated. When PEG400 was included as a plasticizer, a disorder was produced in the network, reflected in the globular structure adopted by the gel and the consequent decrease in viscosity. The addition of ASC16 improved the solubilization of nystatin and provoked a decrease in gel viscosity. However, as water was removed during casting, ASC16 produced a significant increase in the viscosity at the point in which the polymer concentrations were sufficient to strengthen the inter-polymeric interactions, giving rise to a more rigid tri-dimensional network.

Abstract
Literature data relevant to the decision to allow a waiver of in vivo bioequivalence (BE) testing for the approval of immediate release (IR) solid oral dosage forms containing amitriptyline hydrochloride are reviewed. Its therapeutic uses, its pharmacokinetic properties, the possibility of excipient interactions and reported BE/bioavailability (BA) problems are also taken into consideration. Literature data indicates that amitriptyline hydrochloride is a highly permeable active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). Data on the solubility according to the current Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) were not fully available and consequently amitriptyline hydrochloride could not be definitively assigned to either BCS Class I or BCS Class II. But all evidence taken together, a biowaiver can currently be recommended provided that IR tablets are formulated with excipients used in existing approved products and that the dissolution meets the criteria defined in the Guidances.

Abstract
The structure-activity relationships (SAR) of new antibacterial benzenesulfonamidefluoroquinolones (BSFQs), coming from derivatization of N4-piperazinyl of ciprofloxacin (CIP) were studied. The behavior of the new BSFQ series was similar to the previously norfloxacin (NOR) analogs reported, making possible a quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) analysis of the complete set of BSFQs. The presence of the benzenesulfonylamido (BS) groups shifted the activity of classic antimicrobial fluoroquinolones from being more active against Gram-negative to Gram-positive strains. QSAR studies through Hansch analysis showed a linear correlation of the activity with electronic and steric parameters. Small electron-donor groups would increase the in vitro activity against Gram-positive bacteria. Hydrophobic properties played a minor role when activity is measured as minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). QSAR analysis also reinforces previous biological findings about the presence of new interactions with target topoisomerases.

Abstract
Carbomer (C) and procaine (P) were selected respectively as models of polyelectrolyte (PE) and basic drug (B) of low stability in aqueous solution. The purpose of this investigation was to test if a (C-P) aqueous system provides a microenvironment in which P is less exposed to hydroxyl ion catalyzed degradation, its main degradation pathway over a wide pH range. It was determined that in (C-P) a high fraction of P was present in the form of ion pairs [RCOO-PH+] with the carboxylate groups of C. The [RCOO-PH+] fraction was above 97% for compositions containing higher than 50 mol% of P. The chemical stability of C-P was assayed at two selected pHs (7.5 and 8.5) in comparison with conventional reference solutions (RS) without C. Procaine in (C-P) was 4.2 and 6.2 times more stable than in its respective RS at the two conditions assayed. The stabilizing factor was calculated as the ratio of the rate constants k(obs)(RS)/k(obs)(C-P).Since C-B systems exhibit negative electrokinetic potential that attracts positive ions such as (H+) and repels negative ones such as (OH(-)), the stabilizing effect would be associated with the higher acidity of (C-P) environment, in which PH+ molecules attached to the PE should also have lower kinetic energy than those in the bulk medium.

Abstract
Equilibrium properties and kinetics of metoclopramide release of carbomer-metoclopramide (C-M) hydrogels are reported. A set of (C-M)(X) (x=moles percent of M=50, 75, 100) that covers a pH range between 6.49 and 8.40 was used. Hydrogels exhibited a high negative electrokinetic potential (zeta). Concentrations of ion pair [R-COO(-)MH(+)] and free species [M] and [MH(+)] were determined by the selective extraction of M with 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) together with pH measurements. The system (C-M) is characterized by a high proportion of drug present in the form of ion pairs and a negative zeta potential that attracts MH(+) and H(+) and repeals OH(-), providing a microenvironment of higher acidity than the bulk medium. Delivery rates of M were measured in a Franz type bi-compartmental device using water and NaCl 0.9% solution as receptor media. (C-M) hydrogels behave as a reservoir that releases the drug at a slow rate to water; the rate increases 14 times as water is replaced by NaCl solution. The pH effect on delivery rate suggests that, under the main conditions assayed, the rate of dissociation of R-COO(-)MH(+) together with the low change of pH in the polyelectrolyte environment are the factors that control releasing rates.

Abstract
Hydrogels of carbomer (C) loaded with model slightly soluble fluoroquinolone antimicrobials (AMFQ), norfloxacin (I) and ciprofloxacin (II) were prepared to evaluate their physical and delivery properties. Thus, dispersions of 0.25% of C loaded with 0.2-0.5 mol equivalents of AMFQ and 0.2-0.5 mol equivalents of NaOH yielded pseudoplastic hydrogels with a high negative electrokinetic potential and good physical stability. Concentration of AMFQ in the hydrogels was, respectively, 7.2 and 34 times higher than I and II aqueous solubility, indicating a high increase in aqueous compatibility. Release of AMFQ in bicompartimetal Franz type cell occurred by zero order kinetics. Delivery rate constant (k(0)) was five to six times higher as water was replaced by NaCl solution as receptor medium. Release in agar dishes revealed that, even under high dilution, delivery remains modulated. Intestinal absorption flux coefficient in everted rat intestine (k(U)) were measured with reference solutions (RS) of free AMFQ (k(U)(RS) II>k(U)(RS) I) and with hydrogels (H), in which the pattern was reversed since k(U)(H) I>k(U)(H) II. As expected k(U)(H) II was 0.55 times lower than k(U)(RS) II. However, k(U)(H) I was 1.37 times higher than its reference, which cannot be explained from the analysis of k(0) and k(U)(RS) alone. Hydrogels C-AMFQ behave as a reservoir of AMFQ able to deliver it at a constant rate and would be useful to design topical and or systemic dosage forms.

Abstract
The in vitro activities of benzenesulphonamide fluoroquinolones (BSFQs) I-III, new fluoroquinolones with a p-substituted benzenesulphonyl moiety attached to the C(7) piperazinyl ring of ciprofloxacin, were assessed in comparison with those of N-sulfanilylpiperazinyl fluoroquinolone (NSFQ)-105 and ciprofloxacin for 133 Gram-positive clinical isolates. NSFQ-105 and BSFQ-I were the most active drugs. They were 16- to 64-fold more active than ciprofloxacin against Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Enterococcus faecalis, including ciprofloxacin-resistant strains, and Streptococcus pneumoniae (eight- to 32-fold). A high degree of correlation was found between the MICs of the new compounds and ciprofloxacin for Staphylococcus spp. and E. faecalis. Staphylococci and enterococci exhibit cross-resistance to BSFQs and ciprofloxacin.

Abstract
We have examined the antipneumococcal mechanisms of a series of novel fluoroquinolones that are identical to ciprofloxacin except for the addition of a benzenesulfonylamido group to the C-7 piperazinyl ring. A number of these derivatives displayed enhanced activity against Streptococcus pneumoniae strain 7785, including compound NSFQ-105, bearing a 4-(4-aminophenylsulfonyl)-1-piperazinyl group at C-7, which exhibited an MIC of 0.06 to 0.125 microg/ml compared with a ciprofloxacin MIC of 1 microg/ml. Several complementary approaches established that unlike the case for ciprofloxacin (which targets topoisomerase IV), the increased potency of NSFQ-105 was associated with a target preference for gyrase: (i) parC mutants of strain 7785 that were resistant to ciprofloxacin remained susceptible to NSFQ-105, whereas by contrast, mutants bearing a quinolone resistance mutation in gyrA were four- to eightfold more resistant to NSFQ-105 (MIC of 0.5 microg/ml) but susceptible to ciprofloxacin; (ii) NSFQ-105 selected first-step gyrA mutants (MICs of 0.5 microg/ml) encoding Ser-81-to-Phe or -Tyr mutations, whereas ciprofloxacin selects parC mutants; and (iii) NSFQ-105 was at least eightfold more effective than ciprofloxacin at inhibiting DNA supercoiling by S. pneumoniae gyrase in vitro but was fourfold less active against topoisomerase IV. These data show unequivocally that the C-7 substituent determines not only the potency but also the target preference of fluoroquinolones. The importance of the C-7 substituent in drug-enzyme contacts demonstrated here supports one key postulate of the Shen model of quinolone action.

Abstract
This paper describes the development of a method to load fumed silica with vegetal material (solid residue) from a liquid extract to obtain a solid loaded silica product (LSP) with satisfactory flow properties and compressibility to be processed by direct-compression technology. Extracts of Melissa officinalis L. (M.o.), Cardus marianus L. (C.m.), and Peumus boldus L. (P.b.) were used to load silica support. The release of boldine from LSP (P.b.) reached 100% in HCl 0.1 N solution and only approximately 70% in water. Some physical-mechanical properties of LSP (M.o. and C.m.) alone and LSP-excipient mixtures were determined. The densities (bulk and tap) of LSP were higher than those of fumed silica alone. Consequently, good flow properties of LSP products were observed. On the other hand, flowability, densities, and compactibility of directly compressible excipients (lactose, dicalcium phosphate dihydrate, and microcrystalline cellulose) were not adversely affected when mixed with LSP.

Abstract
Clear solutions of 0.5 and 1.0% ciprofloxacin (CF) of pH 7.2 were prepared by the addition of aluminum chloride hexahydrate (AlCl3.6H2O) in the molar proportion CF:AlCl3.6H2O (3:1). Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of these solutions were the same as an equimolar solution of CF.HCl. Solutions exhibited good physical, chemical and microbiological stability and satisfactorily overcame an ocular irritation test on rabbits.

Abstract
The mode of action of sulfanilyl fluoroquinolones (NSFQs) was investigated with NSFQ-104, NSFQ-105, and some structurally related compounds. Evidence arising from interactions with p-aminobenzoic acid and trimethoprim suggested that a sulfonamidelike mechanism of action makes little or no contribution to the in vitro activity of NSFQs. NSFQ-105 showed an activity that inhibits gyrase-catalyzed DNA supercoiling that is similar to the activity of other fluoroquinolones. Also, NSFQ-105 uptake was decreased by the presence of Mg2+ and increased by a lower pH. These results indicate that NSFQs having only one ionizable group could exhibit more favorable kinetics of access to the bacterial cell than zwitterionic fluoroquinolones.

Abstract
Two new quinolones, NSFQ-104 and NSFQ-105, derivatives of ciprofloxacin and norfloxacin with a 4-(4-aminophenylsulphonyl)-1-piperazinyl at position 7 showed better in-vitro activity against strains of methicillin-susceptible and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus than ciprofloxacin or norfloxacin. Their in-vitro activity was enhanced at pH 5.5.

Abstract
The use of differential scanning potentiometry (DSP) to assay pure drugs and mixtures is illustrated through a set of model cases. The profiles obtained by scanning glycine (0.3 mmol), sulfanilamide (0.3 mmol), epinephrine (0.06 mmol), and norfloxacin (0.05 mmol) are reported, as well as the areas (A+, A-, and At) obtained in each scan. Such information is useful to assess identity and/or chemical purity and to get the pKa of the ionizing groups of the drugs. The degree of hydrolysis of a parenteral solution of procaine hydrochloride is also determined through DSP as an example of mixture assay. Comparison with conventional aqueous acid-based potentiometry shows that the new technique exhibits much better performance to assay small samples or samples carrying weak acidic and/or basic groups.

Abstract
The solubility at four different temperatures in water, cyclohexane, and mixtures of water and ethanol and ethanol and cyclohexane of nine derivatives of the structure pX1-C6H4-X2, together with their heats of fusion are reported. The enthalpy and entropy of mixing (delta HM and delta SM, respectively), and also the excess free energy (delta GE) for pure solvents and several compositions of solvent mixtures were calculated. The enthalpic and entropic contribution to the free energy of transfer for water:solvent mixtures was also calculated for each compound. Solvent systems may be classified by means of the enthalpic-entropic relationships exhibited by the series in each case.

Abstract
Solvent effects on the solubility of a set of structurally related solid compounds (Ax, Ay, etc.) in ethanol-water (system 1) and ethanol-cyclohexane (system 2) are compared by the equation, log Sy = Py log Sx + C. For a given structural change, Ax----Ay, it yields the respective medium-effects parameters, Py1 and Py2. They are used to compare the sensitivity of both solvent systems with the structural changes in the substrates by the equation, delta 12 = (Py1 - 1) - (1 - Py2). Structural changes involving the full replacement of the hydrogen atoms bonded to either O or N afford delta 12 less than 0, while those involving solely an increase in the alkyl chain of the substrates yield delta 12 greater than 0. A structural change where the donor-acceptor capacity of hydrogen bonding is maintained yields a delta 12 approaching zero.

Abstract
Solubility data of nine derivatives of the structure p-X1-C6H4-X2 in ethanol-water at 25 degrees C are reported. The correlation of such sets of data by log Sy = Py X log Sx + C yields the medium effect parameter Py for a variety of functional groups possessing either oxygen or nitrogen. Py accounts for the hydrophilic-lipophilic character exhibited by each group.

Abstract
Linear relationships exist between the logarithms of the solubility equilibria of structurally closely related compounds, as they vary with changes in solvent or solvent composition in water and water-like solvents. The slope Py of these linear free energy relationships quantitatively accounts for the direction and intensity of the relative solubility variations due to medium effects. Results obtained by applying the concept to series of both p-hydroxy-and p-aminobenzoic esters, and alpha-aminoacids, are presented. These results are explained by a simple model in terms of solute-solvent interactions.
