Based on Acquity UPLC TM holistic design Based on SFC but uses sub-2µm particle to increase chromatographic performance such as – Speed of separation – Peak capacity – Complements to MS due to its low solvent load Uses CO2 as a major solvent and co-solvents such as methanol to vary the mobile phase strength ©2012 Waters Corporation 5 ACQUITY UPC2 System Over 20 patent applications!!

  • Role of Citicoline in the Management of Traumatic Brain Injury
    pharmaceuticals Review Role of Citicoline in the Management of Traumatic Brain Injury Julio J. Secades Medical Department, Ferrer, 08029 Barcelona, Spain; [email protected] Abstract: Head injury is among the most devastating types of injury, specifically called Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). There is a need to diminish the morbidity related with TBI and to improve the outcome of patients suffering TBI. Among the improvements in the treatment of TBI, neuroprotection is one of the upcoming improvements. Citicoline has been used in the management of brain ischemia related disorders, such as TBI. Citicoline has biochemical, pharmacological, and pharmacokinetic characteristics that make it a potentially useful neuroprotective drug for the management of TBI. A short review of these characteristics is included in this paper. Moreover, a narrative review of almost all the published or communicated studies performed with this drug in the management of patients with head injury is included. Based on the results obtained in these clinical studies, it is possible to conclude that citicoline is able to accelerate the recovery of consciousness and to improve the outcome of this kind of patient, with an excellent safety profile. Thus, citicoline could have a potential role in the management of TBI.

S, Dr. Padmakar Wagh, Shaju V A, Ramesh Chandran K, Rajeesh K R, Abhilash Puthiyedath Waters Corporation, Kancor Ingredients Ltd. Abstract In this application note, we have developed a 15 minutes method for quantitative analysis of PE and PC on the ACQUITY UPLC H-Class Plus System with a PDA Detector. Benefits Quantification of PE and PC in rice and sunflower oil lecithin within 15 minutes run time on the ACQUITY UPLC H-Class Plus System with a PDA Detector. Introduction Phospholipids are major constituents of cell membrane and are found in all tissues and subcellular compartments as mixtures of various molecular species such as phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylinositol (PI), sphingomyelin (SM), and lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) depending on the type of polar head groups and the degree of unsaturation of the acyl chains. Among these phospholipids, PC and PE represents a major constituent of cell membranes. The demand for lecithin with high PC and PE content from vegetable or cereal source is increasing these days, particularly in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food, and other applications due to their emulsifying properties and nonantigenic nature. The application of lecithins in pharmaceutical and cosmetics domain depends mainly on the PC and PE with its saturated or unsaturated fatty acid content. Figure 1. Classification of phospholipids. The present method of UltraPerformance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC) with UV detection offers advantages of high speed, resolution and simplicity for the separation and detection of phospholipids including phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine from rice and sunflower oil lecithin.

Email: [email protected]. Abstract: Nebulised antibiotics offer great advantages over intravenously administered antibiotics and other conventional antibiotic formulations. However, their use is not widely standardized in the current clinical practice. This is the consequence of large variability in the performance of nebulisers, patient compliance and a deficiency of robust preclinical and clinical data. Nebulised antibiotherapy may play a significant role in future pulmonary drug delivery treatments as it offers the potential to achieve both a high local drug concentration and a lower systemic toxicity. In this review, the physicochemical parameters required for optimal deposition to the lung in addition to the main characteristics of currently available formulations and nebuliser types are discussed.

Chapter 1 provides a comprehensive introduction to the theory and practice of drug delivery to the respiratory tract. It also reviews the potential applications of inhaled liposomes to drug delivery, and the devices used to generate liposomal aerosols. A preliminary investigation into the physicochemical attributes of liposomes which may. influence aerosol generation is detailed in chapter 2. These include studies of the stability of liposome bilayers to disruptive energy (ie. membrane extrusion and sonication), investigations of the surface tension and viscosity of liposomes, and also the release of a liposomally entrapped hydrophilic marker. Chapter 3 demonstrates how these physicochemical attributes may influence nebulised liposomal aerosols.
