This study evaluates the applicability of the ordered mesoporous silicate SBA-15 as an excipient to enhance dissolution.
10 poorly insoluble drugs where taken (carbamazepine, cinnarizine, danazol, diazepam, fenofibrate, griseofulvin, indomethacin, ketoconazole, nifedipine, and phenylbutazone).
SBA15 Synthesis was done by generic solvent impregnation method. Target drug content was 20 %.The drug content was checked by Thermogravimetric analysis.
Nitrogen Physisorption method was used to calculate surface area of SBA 15. Physical properties where checked by DSC and Pharmaceutical performance and drug solubility was evaluated by In vitro dissolution. It was observed that the drug solubility of poorly soluble drugs where enhanced.
The Aliquotes where stored for 6 months. Later again the Physical property and Pharmaceutical performance tests where performed by DSC and In vitro evaluation. It was found that the physical property and enhanced drug solubility was retained.
STUDY OF MPS UNDER STRESSED CONDITIONSvivatechijri
This study is done to access the chemical stability of the candidate compound in the pharmaceuticals.
Usually, it is performed at the preliminary stage in the process of drug development. Forced degradation/ stress
testing is performed under accelerated environment. The experimental conditions cause the candidate compound
to degrade under extreme conditions like acid and base hydrolysis, peroxide oxidation, photo-oxidation and
thermal stability to identify the resultant degradation products. This helps to establish degradation pathways and
thus intrinsic stability of a drug substance. The stability of product describes shelf life and storage conditions and
helps in the selection of appropriate formulations and their suitable packaging. This is compulsory for regulatory
documentation. The commonly used analytical approach for FDS is HPLC with UV and/ or MS but these
techniques consume a lot of time and not provide high resolution to confirm the precise detection of degradation
products. Use of UPLC with photodiode array and MS analysis supports the identification of degradation
products and also reduces the time needed to evolve stability indicating methods.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

4. INTRODUCTION
• The term mesoporous designates porous materials that possess pores with diameters
between 2 and 50 nm.
• For pharmaceutical use pore diameters that can be tuned between 2 and 30 nm, high
specific surface areas (up to 1500 m2/g) creating a high potential for adsorption,
large pore volumes (up to 1.5 cm3/g), and a silanol containing surface that can be
functionalized to modify drug release. SBA-15 can readily be prepared over a wide
range of uniform pore sizes, going from 5 to 30 nm.
• For pharmaceutical applications, the pore diameter usually varies between 6 and 10
nm. Typical values for the pore volume and surface area range from 0.8 to 1.2 cm3/g
and 600 to 1000 m2/g, respectively.
• The pore network of SBA-15 consists of a hexagonally ordered array of uniform two-
dimensional mesopores, with a complementary system of disordered
micropores(diameter<2 nm) that are located in the mesopore wall. The large internal
pore volume of SBA-15, combined with its highly accessible pore network, enables
drug loadings that can increase up to 50% (w/w). Because of its high drug loading
capacity, its relatively wide pore diameter and its hydrothermal stability.

11. NITROGEN ADSORPTION–DESORPTION ISOTHERMS
• Nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherms of the calcined SBA-15 powder were
recorded using a Micromeritics Tristar 3000-apparatus.
• Measurements were performed at -196℃ and all samples were pretreated at 300 ℃ for
12 h. under nitrogen flushing prior to analysis.
• The total surface area was calculated using the BET model in the relative pressure
range between 0.05 and 0.2.
• The total pore volume was estimated using the t-plot method of Lippens and Bhor.
• The pore size distribution was derived from the adsorption branches of the nitrogen
isotherms using the BJH model.
11
12. DRUG LOADING
• All model drugs were loaded onto SBA-15 according to the incipient wetness
procedure in order to obtain a drug loading of 20%.
• 150 mg of SBA-15 was impregnated with 750 ml of a 50 mg/ml drug solution in
methylene chloride.
• The moist powder was homogenized with a spatula until seemingly dry, after which it was
dried further at 40℃, under reduced pressure (103 bar) in a vacuum oven (Heraeus) for
48 h to remove any residual methylene chloride.
12
13. Drug Content Determination
• The drug content of the SBA-15 formulations was determined by suspending 5 mg of
drug-loaded powder in 10 mL of an aqueous solution containing 3% of sodium lauryl
sulfate.
• These suspensions were sonicated for 30 min, and subsequently put in a rotary mixer
for 24 h.
• Preliminary tests had pointed out that a time span of 24 h was sufficient to remove the
entire drug load from the SBA-15 pores.
• The silica was separated from the drug solutions using a PTFE-membrane filter (0.45
mm).
• All analyses were performed in triplicate. The mean values obtained from these
experiments were used to calculate the maximum drug release in the in vitro dissolution
experiments.
13
14. Thermogravimetric Analysis
• TG analyses were performed on a TGA Q-500 apparatus.
• The balance purge consisted of pure nitrogen (10 mL/min).
• Pure oxygen was used as the sample purge gas (90 mL/min).
• TG runs were recorded from 30 to 800℃ at a heating rate of 10 ℃ /min. The drug content
was calculated by correcting the weight loss of the SBA-15 formulations between 100
and 750 ℃ for the weight loss of drug-free SBA-15 in the same temperature range.
• All experiments were performed in platinum pans.
14
15. DSC
• DSC experiments were performed on a TA Instruments Q-2000 DSC apparatus at a
heating rate of 28 ℃ /min.
• Dry nitrogen at a flow rate of 50 mL/min was used as the purge gas through the DSC cell.
• Sample weights varied between 5 and 8 mg. The temperature scale was calibrated with
benzoic acid, tin, and indium standards. The latter was used to calibrate the enthalpic
response as well.
15
16. IN-VITRO DISSOLUTION
• Drug release from the SBA-15 formulations was compared to that of their corresponding
crystalline materials and drug-SBA-15 physical mixtures.
• All dissolution tests were carried out at ambient temperature. Twenty milliliters of release
medium was added to a glass vial containing 20.1 mg of drug, under the form of either an
SBA-15 formulation, a physical mixture or as the crystalline material.
• One milliliter samples were withdrawn with asyringe at 5, 10, 30, and 60 min, PTFE
membrane filter and immediately replaced with 1 mL of fresh medium.
• Most of the dissolution experiments were conducted in simulated gastric fluid without
pepsin (SGFsp, USP 24, pH 1.2).
• In order to allow for better discrimination between physical mixtures and formulations,
pure water was selected as the release medium for these three compounds.
16
17. DRUG QUANTIFICATION
• All samples coming from the drug content assay and the in vitro dissolution experiments
were analyzed by UV-spectrometry in a Tecan Infinite M200 microplate reader using flat
bottomed transparent 96 well plates.
• The standards used to construct the calibration curves were prepared in the same
media used for the experiments.
• Sample concentrations were calculated by interpolation from the calibration curve
response using a liner regression model.
• All calibration curves were linear over a concentration range between 2.5 and 100
mg/mL.
17
18. PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL STABILITY
• The physical and chemical stability of the SBA-15 formulations upon storage was
evaluated by storing replicates of each formulation for 6 months in a desiccator at 258 ℃
/52% RH (saturated Mg(NO3)26H2O solution).
• Drug-free SBA-15 powder was stored under the same conditions.
• After storage, the UV-spectra, DSC thermograms and in vitro release profiles were
recorded again.
• The stored drug-free SBA-15 was again subjected to nitrogen gas adsorption.
18
20. Does Drug Loading process effected drug/SBA15 Stability?
• The nitrogen physisorption results summarized in next slide illustrate that both batches of SBA-15
used throughout this study exhibited similar characteristics.
• UV Spectra of aqueous solutions obtained after suspending freshly prepared SBA15
formulations were perfectly similar to as received drugs.

DRUG CONTENTS OF THE SBA-15 FORMULATIONS,
AS DETERMINED VIA TG (N=1)
22
In addition, TG results indicated that
the drug-free SBA-15 powder lost 4.1 ±
0.9% of its weight in the region below
100℃, whereas none of the
formulations lost more than 1.6%.
24. Does Drug-Silica Interactions of different compounds effect drug release?
• We hypothesize that interactions between hydrophobic drug molecules and the silanol groups
covering the silica surface are not a major factor influencing drug release.
• The rate limiting step for drug release will rather be the time needed for diffusion out of the internal
pore network.
Does Water, Acidic media, SGF effect silica?
The short experiment time (1 h) and the low solubility of SBA-15 in water and acidic media such as
SGFsp rule out the effect of matrix erosion on drug release.
