In our previous work, we have studied the effect of lactose and sodium alginate (SA) on the rate of release of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) from ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) matrix. These hydrophilic additives promoted the rate of 5-FU release and the increase in rate was larger when SA was used. Both additives showed better ability to increase the rate than 5-FU itself. In this paper, we extended our study to another hydrophilic additive, Carbopol 940 (CP). Compared to SA or lactose, CP increased the rate of 5-FU release markedly. Release rate increased as the loading amount and the pH of the release medium increased. After release experiment, matrix volume increased up to 15 times of that before release experiment, depending on the amount of CP dispersed in the matrix and the pH of the release medium. On the other hand, the volume of the matrix containing lactose or SA decreased. The weight changes of the dry matrix before and after release experiment imply that CP is not released out of the matrix, to the contrary of lactose and SA. Scanning electron microscope study clearly showed that large cavities and pores are generated on the surface and the inside of the matrix. These results indicate that the mechanism by which CP increases the release rate is quite different from that of monomeric additives such as lactose or SA.

A novel and simple method using a cylindrical penetrometer is being developed for the measurement of yield stress. The principle of this technique is based on the measurement of the static equilibrium of a falling penetrometer in a yield stress fluid. The yield stress is simply determined by a balance of forces acting on the penetrometer. The yield stress of Carbopol gels and $TiO_2$ suspensions has been measured using this method. The results are in reasonable agreement with the values from conventional methods. The effects of the dimensions and weight of the penetrometer have been examined. The long-term behaviour was also observed. No measurable creep was seen and equilibrium was found to be very quickly established. The cylindrical penetrometer technique promises to be a simple, quick and reliable static method for the measurement of yield stress.

The implementation of gelled propellants systems offers high performance, energy management of liquid propulsion, storability, and high density impulse of solid propulsion. The present study focused on the macroscopic spray characteristics of liquid sheets formed by triplet impinging jets of non-Newtonian liquids which are mixed by Carbopol 941 0.5%wt. The results are compared to experiments conducted on spray images which formed by triplet impinging jets concerning with airassist effect at center orifice. When gel propellants are injected by doublet impinging jets at low pressure and high pressure, closed rim pattern shape appeared by polymeric effect from molecular force and showed inactive atomization characteristics, because of extensional viscosity related by restriction of atomization process and breakup time delay of turbulence transition. As increasing mass flow rate of the air(increasing GAR), spray breakup level is also increased.

Mucoadhesive tablets containing hydroxypropylcellulose-H (HPC) and carbopol 934 (CP) were prepared from direct compression. Their adhesive forces and water absorptions were investigated by using mouse peritoneal membrane and 1.5% agar plate, respectively. Adhesive force was significantly improved with increasing CP concentration, but was not affected by compression force and addition of disintegrants. And adhesive force to mouse peritioneal membrane was increased as fixing time increased. In conclusion, adequate adhesive force can be obtained by control of CP/HPC ratio and fixing time.

스테로이드성 소염진통제인 트리암시놀론 겔의 피부투과도를 향상시키기 위하여 초음파를 조사하여 약물의 투과도에 미치는 영향을 비교하였다. 트리암시놀론을 함유한 수용성 겔을 제조하여 물리화학적 시험을 실시하였으며 carbopol을 기제로한 겔이 우수한 제제학적 특성을 보였다. 초음파 조사가 약물의 투과도에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 hairless mouse의 적출 피부에 대한 in vitro 흡수 실험을 실시하였다. 트리암시놀론 겔 음파영동군이 트리암시놀론겔 단독 처치군에 비하여 투과도가 유의적으로 향상되었다. 특히 주파수가 1MHz인 지속초음파를 고 강도로 적용시 피부투과도의 향상이 더욱 두드러졌다. 따라서 트리암시놀론 겔 도포 후 초음파를 이용한 음파영동 경피흡수가 단독의 겔 처치보다 피부투과에 유용할 것으로 사료된다.

Shear coaxial injectors were commonly used in rocket engine combustor. They showed good combustion performance. However it is not easy to control the thrust. Pintle injectors were not as popular as the coaxial injectors so far, they have a great advantage over the coaxial injectors. That is, it is relatively easy to control the thrust. Spray characteristics of gel type propellant from movable sleeve pintle injector were investigated. Water with 0.05% of Carbopol 940 was used as gel simulant instead of kerosene gel combined with Thixarol ST for academic purpose. Experiments were performed in various temperature, pressure and pintle opening condition. The results were compared with neat liquid spray. It is also verified that the capabilites of the injector by adjusting the pintle opening.

Palmitoyl tripeptide (M330)는 최소 저해농도(MIC) 결정 실험에서 기존 화장품 방부제인 메칠 파라벤, 페녹시 에탄올보다 적은 농도로도 높은 항균활성을 나타냈다. 하지만 화장품 제형에 M330을 혼합하면 점증제인 carbopol (carboxy vinyl polymer)과의 정전기적 인력 결합으로 침전이 생기면서 점도가 떨어지고 항균효과도 크게 떨어지는 현상이 일어났다. 따라서 화장품 제형에서 M330의 항균효과를 회복시키고 제형의 침전을 방지하기 위하여 ethosome 베시클로 M330의 캡슐화를 시도하였다. M330을 ethosome에 캡슐화하여 화장품 제형에 첨가한 결과 침전이 형성되지 않았고 캡슐화되지 않은 M330을 첨가했을 때보다 점도의 감소폭이 적었다. 챌린지 테스트를 시행한 결과, M330을 캡슐화하여 첨가했을 때 E. coli나 P. aeruginosa 등의 그람 음성균에서는 항균활성이 더욱 향상되었지만 그람 양성균인 S. aureus와 진균인 C. albicans에서는 캡슐화에 의한 효과가 없었고, 특히 C. albicans에서는 1주일 동안 생균수의 감소가 전혀 없었다. M330에 EDTA를 혼합하여 실시한 챌린지 테스트 결과 C. albicans에 대한 항균활성이 크게 증가함을 확인하였고, 두 성분을 함께 캡슐화 했을 때는 더욱 빠른 속도로 균이 사멸하였다.

The purpose of this study is to develop a transurethral liquid suppository containing prostaglandin $E_1\;(PGE_1)-loaded$ microemulsion, which undergoes a phase transition to gels at body temperature. The effects of oils, ethanol as solvent and HCl as pH-controlling agent on the physicochemical properties of liquid suppositories composed of poloxamer P 407, P 188 and carbopol was investigated. The stability of $PGE_1$ and release of $PGE_1$ from liquid suppository were evaluated. Oils such as Neobee and soybean oil significantly decreased the gelation temperature but increased the gel strength of liquid suppository due to their strongly binding with the components of liquid suppository base. However, ethanol slightly did the opposite. The pH of liquid suppositories hardly affected the gelation temperature and gel strength due to addition of very small HCl (0.005-0.01%). A liquid suppository [$PGE_1/P$ 407/P 188/carbopol/Neobee/ethanol/HCl (0.2/14/14/0.4/7/2/0.005%)], which had the gelation temperature $(34.2{\pm}0.6^{\circ}C)$ and gel strength $(31.35{\pm}4.37\;sec)$ suitable for liquid suppository system, was easily administered and not leak out from the body. About 60% of $PGE_1$ was released out within 2 h from this formulation. It was shown that the release of $PGE_1$ was proportional to the square root of time, indicating that $PGE_1$ might be released from the suppository by Fickian diffusion. It was stable at $4^{\circ}C$ for at least 2 months. The results suggest that transurethral liquid suppository containing prostaglandin $E_1-loaded$ microemulsion is thought to be a convenient, safe and effective dosage form for $PGE_1$. However, it should be further developed as a more convenient and stable dosage form for $PGE_1$.
