The effects of the mixed two solvents, Dimethylacetamide (DMAc) and Dimethylformamide (DMF), and Polyethylene glycol (PEG) and Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as additives on performance of Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes were studied. Initially, PEG200 was used as a primary additive at fixed percentage of 5% wt. PVP was then blended with PEG200 in different concentrations. PVDF and DMAc were used as polymer and solvent in the casting solutions, respectively. To control the diffusion rate of PVP in the presence of PEG200 and PVP blend, mixtures of DMAc and DMF were used as the mixed solvent in the casting solutions. Asymmetric PVDF membranes were prepared via phase inversion process in a water bath and the effects of two additives and two solvents on the membrane morphology, pure water flux (PWF), hydrophilicity and rejection (R) were investigated. Attenuated Total Reflection Fourier Transform Infrared Spectra (ATR-FTIR) analysis was used to show the residual PVP on the surface of the membranes. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) was utilized to determine roughness of membrane surface. The use of mixed solvents in the casting solution resulted in reduction of PVP diffusion rate and increment of PEG diffusion rate. Eventually, PWF and R values reduced, while porosity and hydrophilicity increased.

In order to increase the dissolution characteristics of relatively water-insoluble metoclopramide (MCP), coprecipitates of MCP with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), polyethylene glycol (PEG) 1000, 4000 or 6000 were prepared in various drug to polymer ratios. The dissolution rate of MCP-PVP coprecipitate was greater than those of MCP alone, MCP-PVP physical mixture and MCP-PEG coprecipitates. The dissolution rate of MCP-PEG 6000 coprecipitate was greater than those of MCP-PEG 1000 and MCP-PEG 4000 coprecipitates. The dissolution half-lives $(T_{50%})$ for MCP alone and 1:5 (w/w) MCP-PEG 6000 coprecipitate were determined by the log-probit method at $37^{\circ}C$ and found to be 4.17 and 0.98 min, respectively.

시간 상관 단일 광자 계수법을 사용하여 PVP/C/sub 2/H/sub 5/OH와 PEG/H/sub 2/O 혼합 용매에 위치한 rhodemine 6G 분자의 회전 재배열 시간을 측정하였다. 주어진 온도에서 혼합비를 변화시키면서 측정한 결과, PEG/H/sub 2/O와 PVP/C/sub2/H/sub 5/OH에서 각각 회전 이완 시간이 혼합액의 점성도에 선형적으로 비례하지 않는 것으로 관측되었다. 고분자 주의에 cluster가 형성된다는 관점에서 혼합비에 따른 회전 이완 시간의 변화를 설명하였다.

The microencapsulation of nifedipine (NF) with 4 wt% of poly(${\varepsilon}-caprolactone$) (PCL)/polyvinylpyrollidone (PVP) or PCL/polyethylene glycol (PEG) was carried out by solvent evaporation method in oil in water emulsion system to investigate the effect of PVP and PEG addition on drug release behavior of the microcapsules. The PVA (emulsifier) concentration of 1.0 wt% was chosen for the formation of PCL capsule having an average size of $154{\pm}25{\mu}m$ due to nearly spherical shape with a narrow size distribution. As PCL/PVP and PCL/PEG ratios were raised from 10/0 to 6/4, the capsule size increased gradually from $154{\pm}25{\mu}m$ to $236{\pm}32{\mu}m$ and $248{\pm}56{\mu}m$, respectively. The drug release rate of PCL/PVP and PCL/PEG capsules increased dramatically from 0 to 4 h at the beginning and then reached the plateau region from 20 h. As the concentration of PVP or PEG increased, the amount of drug release increased, suggesting that the larger capsule size was attributed to the higher drug content. However, the drug release behavior remained almost constant. The PCL capsules exhibited no evidence of causing cell lysis or toxicity regardless of NF loading, implying that the microcapsules are clinically suitable for use as drug delivery systems.

Differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) was used as a screening technique for assessing the compatibility of some drugs with excipients. On the basis of DSC results, interaction of ibuprofen with PVP K40 was found and eutectic formations with PEG 6000 or magnesium stearate were demonstrated. Fenoprofen Ca was found to interact with PEG 6000. Naproxen showed interactions with PEG 6000, PVP K40, PVPP and Mg stearate. Interactions of tiaprofenic acid with PVP K40 or PVPP were found and eutectic formations with PEG 6000 or Mg stearate were observed. Bisoprolol hemifumarate, metoprolol tartrate and penbutolol sulfate were found to interact with lactose.

In an atempt to elucidate further physicochemical properties of furosemide-PVP coprecipitates, extensive investigations such as TLC, UV,IR, NMR, X-ray diffraction, TGA and DTA studies were carried out for the furosemide test systems. X-ray diffraction studies revealed that the pure furosemide and the furosemide contained within a physical mixture were crystalline in nature. However, there was no crystallinity evident in the 1:5 furosemide-PVP 40,000 coprecipitate system, even after standing for two years. The various ratio furosemide-PVP 40,000 coprecipitate systems revealed that the coprecipitate containing a greater amount of PVP 40,000 than that of furosemide showed a crystalline state of furosemide and that the minimum amounts of PVP to make amorphous form of furosemide was 1:1 ratio of furosemide to PVP. From the furosemide-PVP coprecipitate systems with PVP of different molecular weights of 10,000, 40,000 and 360,000, all the 1:1 ratio coprecipitates did not exhibit any crystallinity of furosemide, whereas all the 2:1 ratio coprecipitates showed a presence of crystalline furosemide. All the coprecipitated preparations with PEG 4,000 and with PEG 6,000 showed the diffraction peaks indicating the presence of crystalline furosemide. The comparison of infrared spectra of the physical mixture and the coprecipitate showed an interaction such as association between the functional groups of furosemide and PVP in the molecular level, whereas the studies by TLC, UV and NMR showed its dissociation in methanol solution. The weight losses in TGA curves showed all the same patterns. However, a little different transition form in DTA thermograms was shown between the physical mixture and the coprecipitate, indicating the different thermal property.

본 연구에서는 응고조와 도프조성에 따른 투과특성을 알아보기 위해 첨가제로 PEG, PVP를 사용하였고, 상전이법을 이용하여 PSf 평막을 제조하였다. 고분자의 농도, 첨가제의 농도 그리고 응고조의 조성을 달리하여 제막하였다. 평막의 모폴로지와 수투과도를 각각 FE-SEM과 수투과 테스트 장치를 이용하여 측정하였다. 가장 높은 수투과도(986 L/mh)는 PSf 15 wt%, PEG 25 wt% 그리고 응고조로 물이 사용되었을 경우 나타났다. PSf/PEG조성일때 응고조에 DMAc의 함량이 증가할수록 순수투과도는 급격히 감소하였다. 그러한 결과 첨가제의 함량과 응고조의 조성의 변화가 모폴로지와 수투과 특성에 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 고혈압 치료제로 사용되고 있는 난용성 약물인 에프로살탄의 용해도 개선을 위한 고체분산체제제를 개발하기 위한 제조방법 및 조성비를 최적화하였다. 친수성 고분자 기제로 poly(ethylene glycol)(PEG)와 poly(vinyl pyrrolidone)(PVP)를 이용하여, 약물과 고분자의 조성비가 1:1에서 1:5 사이의 고체분산체를 용매증발법과 열용융법에 의해 제조한 후 비교 평가하였다. 용매증발법이 균일한 고체분산체 제조에 효과적이었고, 고분자의 조성비 증가와 함께 약물 결정성이 감소되었다. PEG 보다는 PVP가 약물과의 우수한 상용성을 바탕으로 결정화도 감소와 용해도 개선 효과가 우수하였다. 또한 고체분산체 제조 시 고분자 계면활성제인 poloxamer 407를 첨가한 경우, 약물의 결정성이 대부분 사라져 고체분산체 내 대부분의 약물 분자들이 무정형으로 분산되어 있음을 알 수 있었고,약물의 용해도 또한 3~4배 이상 향상되었다.

In recent day, there is much interest in the biocidal activity of silver since silver is known to be safe and effective as disinifectant and biocidal material against coliforms and viruses. In this study, hydrogels containing silver acetate as antibacterial agent have been prepared using gamma rays irradiation. The hydrogels are composed of poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP), poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), carrageenan and silver acetate. The concentration of solution was 9 wt%. The ratio of PVP : PEG : carrageenan was 6 : 1 : 2. The concentration of the silver acetate were 0, 0.01, 0.03, 0.05 and 0.07% and Gamma irradiation dose was 25 kGy. The Gamma irradiation dose in hydrogels with 0.01% silver acetate were 20 kGy, 35 kGy, 50 kGy, 65 kGy, and 80 kGy. The results showed that 0.01% silver acetate concentration of hydrogels by 25 kGy irradiation dose showed the highest antibacterial activity against E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Moreover, antibacterial activity of various Gamma irradiation dose in hydrogels treated 0.01% silver acetate showed highest 35 kGy irradiation dose against Staphylococcus aureus.

Acyclovir (ACV) is one of the most effective and selective agents against viruses of the herpes group. Because of low solubility, bioavailability of ACV has shown below 30% with oral dosage form. In our previous study, we reported that the fabrication of solid dispersion of ACV was possible and the solid dispersion of ACV and PVP was the most useful in all samples. In this study, we examined the effect of mixture ratio of polymers (PEG and PVP) to ACV. Solubility of ACV was dramatically increased up to 25 mg/ml in $80^{\circ}C$ distilled water. So water was used as a solvent to eliminate problem of residual solvent. Spray drying method was used for the solid dispersion of ACV as solvent extraction. Different scanning calorimeter was used to check degradation of drug. Polymer carriers were PEG 6,000 and PVP. In summary, ACV-PVP (1:3) showed the best solubility in distilled water.
