Microencapsulation:

DEFINITION

Microencapsulation is a process by which very tiny droplets or particles of liquid or solid material
are surrounded or coated with a continuous film of polymeric material.
Microencapsulation may be defined as the process of surrounding or enveloping one substance
within another substance on a very small scale, yielding capsules ranging from less than one micron
to several hundred microns in size.”
 It is mean of applying thin coating to small particle of solid or droplet of liquid & dispersion.
 Microencapsulation is a process by which solids, Liquids or even gases may be enclosed in
microscopic particles by formation of thin coatings of wall material around the substances.
 Particle size: 50-5000 micron.
 2 phases: a) Core material
 b) Coating material
 The product obtained by this process is called as micro particles, microcapsules, microsphere,
coated granules, pellets.


ADVANTAGES

Multiparticulate drug delivery systems offer outstanding advantages to experts and patients, such as:
1. Choice of dosage form for the desired drug delivery route (peroral tablets, parenteral injections);
2. Modified and targeted (even site-specific) drug release and delivery;
3. More expectable pharmacokinetics with reduced intra- or inter-subject variability;
4. More homogenous distribution in the physiological environment;
5. Stable fixed-dose combinations of drugs;
6. Less dose-dumping;
7. Individual therapy (e.g., for pediatric or geriatric population);
8. Improving stability of the medicinal preparations;
9. Isolating the constituents to ensure better compatibility;
10. Innovative products with a prolonged life cycle through patient protection.
From the viewpoint of technology, microencapsulation provides several advantages:
1. Protect the core from the environment.
2. Masking an unpleasant taste.
3. Preserving volatiles or the viability of the cells.
4. Separating incompatible substances.
5. Protecting the body from the side effects.
6. Optimizing, prolonging, or targeting the effect of a drug.

DISADVANTAGES

1.Higher product costs due to:
- More expensive excipients in the formulations.
- More sophisticated equipment and processes.
- Stricter quality control.
2. Requires skill.
 Difficult to obtain continuous and uniform film.
 Some constituents may not meet the requirements for biocompatibility and biodegradation.


MICROSPHERES/MICROCAPSULES

 Microspheres are small spherical particles, with diameter 1 μm to 1000 μm.
 Microspheres can be characterized as matrix systems in which the drug is homogeneously
dispersed, either dissolved or homogenously suspended.
 Microcapsules are heterogenous particles where a membrane shell is surrounding the core forming
a reservoir.

 Microbial assay of antibiotics as per IP. INTRODUCTION The microbiological assay of an antibiotic is based upon a comparison of the inhibition of growth of micro-organisms by measured concentrations of the Free website hits antibiotics under examination with that produced by known concentrations of a standard preparation of the antibiotic having a known activity. Gernally two types of method are mentioned in pharmacopeias books (IP,BP,USP)                       The cylinder-plate method (Method A) depends upon diffusion of the antibiotic from a vertical cylinder through a solidified agar layer in a Petri dish or plate to an extent such that growth of the added micro-organism is prevented entirely in a zone around the cylinder containing a solution of the antibiotic. The turbidimetric method (Method B) depends upon the inhibition of growth of a microbial culture in a uniform solution of the antibiotic in a flu...

Glycolysis

Glycolysis,biochemistry   Introduction :-glycolysis is defined as the breakdown of one molecule of glucose of sux carbon atom into the two pyruvate of three carbon atom.  Glycolysis (glyco means glucose and lysis means breakdown or degradation).
