Delivery Systems and Dosing for Antipsychotics

Abstract: Schizophrenia is a devastating illness, affecting approximately 1-2 % of the world population. Age of onset is generally between 20 and 30 years of age with a chronic, unremitting course for the duration of the patient's life. Although schizophrenia is among the most severe and debilitating illnesses known to medicine, its treatment has remained virtually unchanged for over 50 years. This chapter covers several major concepts in experimental drug development and delivery: (1) the concept of "typical" vs. "atyp… Show more

“…The driving force for SSD release by diffusion is the SSD concentration gradient between the thermo-responsive cellulose hydrogel and the wound surface [ 85 ]. Besides SSD diffusion, SSD release from thermo-responsive cellulose hydrogels is also contributed by physical dissolution of the thermo-responsive cellulose hydrogel as a result of its degradation [ 86 ]. As a thermo-responsive cellulose hydrogel’s matrix is eroded, entrapped SSD molecules are set free and released to the wound surface.…”

“…This could be attributed to the difference in hydrophobicity of the drugs. Hydrophobic drugs accelerate degradation, but highly hydrophobic drugs (high Log D values) reduce water penetration and polymer degradation [29]. Accelerated degradation of PLGA led to faster release of simvastatin, i.e., milligrams of the drug compared to micrograms from the polymeric prodrugs.…”

“…This can be explained by the high hydrophobicity of NG PCL before degradation and the tendency of hydrophobic materials to keep the erosion at their surfaces. 34 As seen in Figure 9 the water contact angle of NG films was 20% higher than its G equivalent before degradation.…”

“…While, defects by collagenase on the NG PCL surface appeared as more numerous and small dimension dimples (9.01 ± 1.2 nm of mean depth and ~ 30–40 nm of radius) (Figure 8(e)). This can be explained by the high hydrophobicity of NG PCL before degradation and the tendency of hydrophobic materials to keep the erosion at their surfaces 34 . As seen in Figure 9 the water contact angle of NG films was 20% higher than its G equivalent before degradation.…”
