ONE COMPARTMENT OPEN MODEL(Instantaneous Distribution Model)


·         The one compartment open model is the simplest model which depicts the body as a single, kinetically homogeneous unit having no barriers to the movement of drug and final distribution equilibrium between drug in plasma and other body fluid is obtained instantaneously and maintained at all times.
·         This model thus applies only to those drugs that distribute rapidly throughout the body.
·         The anatomical reference compartment is the plasma and concentration of drug in plasma is representative of drug concentration in all body tissues i.e. any change in plasma drug concentration reflects a proportional change in drug concentration throughout the body.
·         The term open indicates that the input (availability) and output (elimination) are unidirectional and that the drug can be eliminated from the body.



One compartment open model is generally used to describe plasma levels following administration of a single dose of a drug. Depending upon the rate of input, several one compartment open models can be defined:

1.      One compartment open model, intravenous bolus administration
2.      One compartment open model, continuous intravenous infusion
3.      One compartment open model, extravascular administration, zero order absorption and
One compartment open model, extravascular administration, first order absorption.

ANTIOXIDANTS: In Pharmaceutical Formulation

Image
Introduction: Chemically they are reducing agents. They oxidize themselves and prevent oxidation of API. A substance that inhibits oxidation is called antioxidants. The effectiveness of antioxidant can depend on the concentration used and pH of solution. Examples:  Ascorbic acid,  butylated hydroxy anisole (BHA),  butylated hydroxyl toluene (BHT) Oxidation is a chemical reaction involving the loss of electrons or an increase in oxidation state. Oxidation reactions can produce free radicals. In turn, these radicals can start chain reactions. When the chain reaction occurs in a cell, it can cause damage or death to the cell. Antioxidants terminate these chain reactions by removing free radical intermediates, and inhibit other oxidation reactions. The following are some of the qualities of an ideal anti-oxidant: It should be readily soluble or dispersible in the medium. It should be effective in low concentration. It should be non-toxic. It should be non-irrita

3. Development of working hypothesis:

Image
After extensive literature survey, researcher should state in clear terms the working hypothesis or hypotheses. Working hypothesis is tentative assumption made in order to draw out and test its logical or empirical consequences. As such the manner in which research hypotheses are developed is particularly important since they provide the focal point for research. They also affect the manner in which tests must be conducted in the analysis of data and indirectly the quality of data which is required for the analysis. In most types of research, the development of working hypothesis plays an important role. Hypothesis should be very specific and limited to the piece of research in hand because it has to be tested. The role of the hypothesis is to guide the researcher by delimiting the area of research and to keep him on the right track. It sharpens his thinking and focuses attention on the more important facets of the problem. It also indicates the type of data required
