Parenteral products are sterile solutions, suspensions, or emulsions that are administered directly into the body by injection through various routes such as intravenous, intramuscular, or subcutaneous. They provide pure active ingredients free from contamination and immediate physiological effects. Parenteral formulations must consider factors like the drug's solubility, desired route of administration, dosage volume, and onset/duration of action. Common vehicles include water, isotonic saline solutions, and nonaqueous solvents. Additives like co-solvents and surfactants may also be included to aid formulation.
Parenteral preparations must be sterile and free of pathogens to safely administer drugs through non-digestive routes like injection. Strict aseptic techniques are required during production to prevent contamination. Key aspects of aseptic processing include designated clean, compounding, and aseptic areas; laminar flow hoods with HEPA filters; and trained personnel following proper gowning procedures. Sources of contamination include airborne particles, fluids, and microbes from personnel that must all be controlled to ensure sterile and safe parenteral products.
This document provides an overview of Novel Drug Delivery Systems (NDDS). It defines NDDS as approaches that transport pharmaceutical compounds safely in the body as needed. The goals of NDDS are to provide therapeutic drug levels at the target site with minimal side effects, degradation, and increased bioavailability. Ideal NDDS would safely deliver drugs in a controlled and sustained manner over time at the site of action. The document discusses various NDDS approaches and terminologies and provides examples of controlled, sustained, delayed, and extended release systems.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

2. Introduction
• They are injected directly into the body tissue.
• They are exceptionally pure, and free from physical, chemical and
biological contamination.
• Some peptides, proteins and chemotherapeutic agents are only be
given parenterally because they are inactivated by the gastrointestinal
enzymes.
• Parenteral products are sterile and pyrogen free.
• May be solution, suspension or emulsion.
• May be large volume or small volume.
• Administered IV, IM, or subcutaneous and other limited routes.
3. Routes of administration - IV
• Injection into the vein.
• Rapid and predictable response.
• 100% bioavailability.
• Large volume administered as controlled rate infusion. generally solutions
or emulsions of the size of the disperse phase less than 1 micron.
• Due to the relative insensibility of veins walls, so, too irritant drugs can be
administered IV.
• Quick administration may lead to drug-induced shock.
• Training is essentially required.
4. • Into the muscle. Gluteal ( buttocks), vastus lateralis ( lateral thigh) or
deltoid ( upper arm) muscles.
• The volume is 1 – 3 ml or up to 10 ml in divided doses.
• Training is essential.
• Rapid absorption but less than iv
• Absorption is greater from aqueous solutions.
• Used for controlled-release formulation.
Routes of administration - IM
5. • Into the fatty layer located beneath the dermis.
• Slower onset, oily solutions and aqueous suspension exhibit slower
absorption than aqueous solution.
• Typically 1 ml.
• Viscous formulations are not generally administered SC.
• Sites for SC are legs, arms and abdomen.
• Is the route of choice for insulin.
Routes of administration - subcutaneous
6. • Intradermal: 0.1 ml for diagnosis as allergy and tuberculin test.
• Intra-arterial: used to administer radiopaque media to visualize
heart , kidney. And in anticancer drugs.
• Intrathecal : to administer drugs to the cerebrospinal fluid to
ensure that appropriate concentration of drug is obtained at site.
• Intradural and extradural: intradural involves injection within the
dural membrane of the spinal cord and extradural is outside the
dural membrane and within the spinal caudal canals. E.g spinal
anaesthesia.
• Intracardiac: direct into the heart muscle, in cardiac emergency.
Routes of administration - others
7. Advantages
1. An immediate physiologic response.
2. for drugs of poor bioavailability or degraded within the GIT.
3. For unconscious or uncooperative patients or patients with nausea
and vomiting.
4. There is control in the dose and frequency as it is usually done by
trained medical staff.
5. Local effects may be achieved e.g local anesthesia.
6. Serious electrolyte imbalance may be corrected by iv infusion.
7. Wide range of drug release profiles.
8. Total parenteral nutrition.

aseptic techniques, the level of training staff is high render hem
more expensive and costly.
2. Skills for administration for correct use.
3. Pain at the site of administration.
4. In allergic conditions, rapid and intense allergic reaction will result.
5. Difficult to reverse the effect unlike other routes.
6. Thrombophlebitis, extravasation, fluid overload and air embolism.
7. Difficulties in manufacturing.
8. Disposal of used devices.
9. Formulation
• Solutions; aqueous or oil-based.
• Suspensions; aqueous or oil-based.
• Emulsions.
Factors to be considered for formulation:
1. Solubility of the therapeutic agent.
2. Preferred route of administration.
3. Volume of dose.
4. Onset and duration of action.
5. Physiochemical properties of the therapeutic agent.
10. Solubility of the therapeutic agent.
• Freely soluble therapeutic agents in the chosen solvent either
aqueous or oil make it suitable for parenteral preparation.
• Moderately soluble , the use of co-solvent is the preferred strategy.
Or to be used as suspension but recrystallization of soluble drug
during storage.
• Low solubility in the chosen vehicle , parenteral suspension is the only
choice.
11. Preferred route of administration
• IV requires aqueous solutions and should not precipitate in the
blood stream. Emulsions of sufficiently small particle size.
• Suspensions may be administered either IM or SC. Aqueous
solution may be also administered IM or SC.
12. Volume of dose
• Large volume up to 500 ml administered IV.
• Small volume by all routes bearing in mind the restrictions of oil-
based suspensions.
13. Onset and duration of action
• IV have immediate effect, other route are slower.
• Absorption from aqueous solutions is more faster.
• Oil-based suspensions/ solutions and aqueous suspensions offer
prolonged pharmacological actions.
Examples:
- Soluble insulin (aqueous) , the onset 30 min, peak 2-3 hrs, duration 8 hrs.
- Intermediate/long acting insulin suspension; onset 1-2 hrs, peak 4-12 hrs
and duration 16-35 hrs.
- Triamcinolone acetonide aqueous suspension have duration of action 21
days.
14. Physiochemical properties of the therapeutic agent
• Properties affecting the rate of dissolution and hence absorption of
poorly soluble drugs:
1. Solid –state properties: crystalline form or polymorphic.
2. Solubility of insoluble salt forms: altering the salt alters the
solubility and hence the dissolution and absorption. Solubility of
protamine insulin is lower than soluble insulin, salt of zinc or
protamine and zinc has lower solubility and hence lower rate of
dissolution and so long duration of action.
3. Particle size: testosterone propionate particle size 40-100µm
duration of action 8 days, 50 - 200µmduration of action 12 days.
Testosterone isobutyrate 50-200µm duration 20 days.
15. • Noyes-Whitney equation:
δM/δt = DACs/h
δM/δt rate of dissolution, h the thickness of the unstirred diffusion layer
that surrounds each particle. D is the diffusion coefficient of the dissolved
drug molecule through the unstirred diffusion layer. A is the surface area
of the particle undergoing dissolution. Cs is the saturated solubility of the
drug ( the concentration of drug that exist in solution adjacent to the
dissolving particle.
• Stocks law:
δv/ δt = 2𝑟2(ps-pL )g / 9ἠL thus, reducing the rate of sedimentation of drug
particles will enhance the physical stability of suspension. increasing the
particle size will increase rate of sedimentation , decreasing the physical
stability, decrease the rate of dissolution leading to slower onset but
prolonged duration of action.

as it may cause capillary blockage.
• Acceptable pH 4- 9. below 3 will cause extreme pain and
above 9 will cause tissue necrosis.
• Citrate buffer, acetate buffer, phosphate buffer and glutamate
buffers ate commonly used.
29. Tonicity contributors
• Isotonic solution is that exhibits the same effective osmotic pressure
as blood serum.
• Ideally the administration of parenteral IV should be isotonic ( 291
mosmol/L).
• NaCl, dextrose are used to correct the isotonicity and the mass
required can be calculated by the gram-molecular concentration or
freezing-point depression of the solution.
30. Gram-molecular concentration
• Number of moles in 100 gms of solvent.
• A solution is isotonic whenever the gram molecular concentration is 0.03%.
• Dextrose is non-ionic , 1 mol when added to 100 gms of water will produce a
gram molecular concentration 1%, therefore to produce isotonic solution
0.03 × 180 ( molecular weight of dextrose) = 5.4% w/v.
• NaCl is ionic, 1 mol when added to 100 gms of water will produce a gram-
molecular concentration 2%, therefore to produce isotonic solution 0.03 ×
58.5/2 = 0.9% w/v.
• Lidocaine Hcl 1% solution, molecular weight 270 gm/mol, each mol dissociate
to produce 2 mols of ions hence, 2 ×1/270 = 0.007%. The difference from
isotonic is 0.03 – 0.007 = 0.023% , thus the amount od Nacl required to
render it isotonic is 0.023 × 58.5/2 = 0.67% w/v.
31. Freezing-point depression
• An isotonic solution exhibits a freezing point depression of 0.52 C.
• Inclusion of ions will lower the freezing point of a solution.
• The freezing point depression of 1% Nacl is 0.576 C ( from tables),
therefore the concentration of Nacl required to render the solution
isotonic is ( 0.52/0.576) ×1= 0.9%.
• The freezing-point depression of lidocaine Hcl 1% is 0.130 C. the
difference is 0.52 – 0.13 = 0.39 C. To render this isotonic by 1% Nacl ,
( 0.39/0.576) = 0.677 gm.
32. Preservative
• For multidose preparations.
• When there is no terminal sterilization.
• Methyl and Propyl parabens 9:1 are often used in concentration of 0.2% w/v.
• Phenol 0.25-05% or chlorocresol 0.1-0.3% w/v.
• Increasing the concentration up to 0.25%w/v
• Preservative should not interact with the container or the therapeutic agent
and should not be toxic.
• Oil-based product don’t require preservative.
33. Antioxidants
• To protect therapeutic agent from oxidation particularly under the
accelerated conditions of thermal sterilization.
- Reducing agent: ascorbic acid, sod metabisulphite, sod bisulphate, thiourea.
- Blocking agent: ascorbic acid, tocopherol.
- Synergistic agents: ascorbic acid, citric acid,tartaric acid , phosphoric acid.
- Chelating agent: EDTA.
- Protect from formation of free radicals: butylated hydroxyanisole, butylated
hydroxytoluene.
- Flushing the container with nitrogen.
34. Stabilizers
• Hydrophilic polymer to increase the viscosity of aqueous suspension.
• Lipophilic polymer for oil-based suspension as aluminium salts of
stearic acid, trihydroxystearin ( Thixcin).
• Stabilizers as Glycine, creatinine are added to ensure the stability of
drug compound in the preparation.
35. Manufacturing of parenteral formulations
Methods of sterilization:
1. Moist-heat sterilization.
2. Dry-heat sterilization.
3. Filtration sterilization.
4. Exposure to ionizing radiation.

This can be achieved by the use of HEPA filters. And HVAC system and pressure control.
46. Production procedures
1. Cleaning the container: WFI and air.
2. Automatic washing machine.
3. Sterilized then discharged to the filling room.
4. Closures , agitation in hot mild water detergent and rinsed with
WFI. Wet closures are then sterilized and stored ready to use. (
basket type automatic washing machine).
5. Equipment disassembled, brushed cleaned and steamed. SIP
6. Preparation of the product is the same as those used for
nonsterile.
47. • Filtration Membrane filter of 0.2 µm pore size. Cellulose esters, nylon,
polysulfone, polytetrafluoroethylene 9 Teflon).
• Filling : aseptic fill after filtration. Filling under blanket of HEPA filter
laminar- flow
- Volumetric filling involves the use of pistons
- Time-pressure or gravity filling during fixed time.no pumping.
- Net weight filling. This involves the use of the container.
Solids filling: flowability, filling by weight control. Vacuum may be
employed
49. Sealing of ampoules & vials
• Bead-sealing
• Pull sealing.
• Melting glass in a high
temperature oxygen
flame.
Vials are closed
automatically by
rubber and held in
place by aluminulm
cap.
68. Glass containers
• Composed from silicon dioxide + other oxides ( sod, pot, calcium,
iron, mag, aluminum, boron.
• Other oxides rather than boric oxide are loosely bound to the silicon
oxide network thus they may be leached into a solution during
increased temperatures.
• They may hydrolyze and raise the pH.
• Types of glass:
- Type I, borosilicate glass 81% + 13%, less leachable oxides, chemically
resistant, low thermal Coefficient of expansion CoE.
- Type II, a soda lime treated glass.
- Type III, a soda lime glass.
- Type IV, Nonparenteral soda soda lime glass.
69. • Type II and Type III contain sodium oxide up to 14% and calcium oxide
up to 8%. They are chemically less resistant, higher CoE. Melt at lower
temperature making it easy to mold.
• Type II has les migratory oxides than type III.
• Type II has been treated under controlled temperature and humidity
with sulphar oxide or other dealkalizer to neutralize the interior
surface of the container to increase the chemical resistance. Although
repeated exposure to heat and alkaline detergents break this surface.
• Water attack test and the powdered glass test to determine the intact
surface of the container and to determine the leaching potential
respectively.
• Glass can be a source of leachables/extractable, particulates, can
cause adsorption of the ingredients and cracks.
70. Plastic containers
• Three problems related to plastic containers:
1. Permeation of vapour and other molecules through the walls.
2. Leaching of constituents from plastic into the product.
3. Sorption of drug molecules on the plastic material.( insulin, vit A
and warfarin)
• Polyethylene, polypropylene, PVC.
71. Rubber closure
• Elastomer , natural rubber latex treated with sulfar and peroxides as
curing agents, zinc oxide, stearic acid as activaters, antioxidants,
plasticizers, lubricants, fillers as carbon black, clay and barium
sulphate, pigments.
• Factors to be considered are elasticity, hardness, permeability,
tendency to fragment.
• Slippery. Silicon oil is traditionally used.
72. Needles
• SS made.
• Hollow canal with sharp head.
• Needle size is refered as gauge G. ( 11 – 32G)
• Winged needles for heparin.
• Plastic needles are available.
• G 15 – 25 for IV, 19 -22 G for IM, 24 – 25 G for SC, 25 – 27 G for children.
73. Quality Control Tests for Parenteral Products
1. Sterility tests
2. Clarity test
3. Leaker test
4. Pyrogen test
74. Sterility test – Direct Transfer Method
• Inoculation of required volume of sample in sterile fluid of
thioglycolate medium and other tube of soyabean-casein digest
medium.
• Incubation period is 14 days.
• Temperature for thioglycolate medium is 30 -35 ˚C to test for
anaerobic bacteria and for soyabean-casein digest medium is 20 – 25
˚C to test for aerobic bacteria and fungi.
75. Sterility test – Membrane Filtration Method
• Filtration of required volume of sample through sterile membrane silter of 0.22 (
0.45) pore size and diameter 47 mm under vacuum. Then slit the flter membrane
into two parts and inculate one part into fluid of thioglycolate medium and the
other part into tube of soyabean-casein digest medium.
• Incubation period is 7 days for terminal sterilization and 14 days for aseptic filling
process.
• Temperature for thioglycolate medium is 30 -35 ˚C to test for bacteria and for
soyabean-casein digest medium is 20 – 25 ˚C to test for fungi and yeast..
76. Clarity Test
• To test for particulate materials.
i. Clarity test apparatus, visual check against black and white
background.
ii. Filter paper method. Filter and examine microscopically.
iii. Automatic image analysis device using screen.
iv. Light absorption, light scattering and change in the electrical
resistance.
77. Leaker test
• Dipping the ampoule deeply in a coloured dye solution 1% methylene
blue is used.
• The process is carried out in a vacuum chamber under negative
pressure.
• When the vacuum is released the colour solution will enter the
ampoule of defective sealing.
• Not carried for vials and bottles.
78. Pyrogen Test – Rabbit test
• The test sample is to be injected into the ear vein of 3 rabbits. Body
temperature of the animals will be examined by rectal thermocouple and
the temperature is measured by electronic thermometer after 3 hours.
• If no any increase in temperature the product is considered pyrogen-free.
• If any rabbit shows rise in temperature by 0.6˚C or more, the test will be
repeated on 5 additional rabbits.
• If not more than 3 out of 8 rabbits show individual rise in temperature of
0.6˚C and sum of maximimum rise in temperature of all rabits is not mre
than 3.7 ˚C, the test is considered as complying the requirements.
79. Pyrogen test – Limulus amebocyte lysate test
LAL
• The amebocyte of horseshoe crab contains enzyme or protein system
that coagulates in the presence of small amount of
lipopolysaccharide.
• 0.1 ml of the test sample with cell lysate from amebocyte of
horseshoe crab incubated for 1 hour at 37 ˚C .
• The mixture is analyzed for the presence of gel clot.
• Bacterial endotoxins cause formation of gel.
• No gel = no coagulation = no any endotoxin present.
• It is the most liable test.
