3. Terminology
Parenteral is the introduction of nutrition, a medication, or
other substance into the body via a route other than the mouth,
especially via infusion, injection or implantation.
Controlled Release drug delivery systems aim to maintain
plasma concentration of drugs within the therapeutic window
for a longer period of time
3
5. Approaches:
1) Use of viscous, water miscible vehicles, such as an aqueous
solution of gelatin or polyvinyl pyrrolidone.
Change in solubility characteristics of drug
Change in time of release once drug is administered
Change in state of drug post administration
2) Utilization of water immiscible vehicles, such as vegetable
oil, some water repelling agents, like aluminium monostearate.
3) Formation of thixotropic suspension
Structural break point
Change in flow properties
Change in dissolution characteristics
5
6. Approaches:
4) Preparation of water insoluble drug derivatives such as salts,
complexes and esters.
Chemical modification without affecting therapeutic activity
Kinetics are influenced
Stability is enhanced
5) Dispersion in polymeric microspheres, or microcapsules such as
lactides-glycolides homopolymers or copolymers
Use of Surface active agent
Polymerization insitu or through reaction
Microcapsules using various techniques
6) Co-administration of vasoconstrictors

Case study
Patel D. B. et al in Journal of Global Pharma Technology, 2010; 2(2):
85-90 has presented an article on Atrigel® system describing it as a
proven sustained-release drug delivery platform that delivers therapeutic
levels of a wide spectrum of drugs over a few days to several months with a
single injection. Atrigel system is used for both Parenterals and site-
specific drug delivery. The ease of manufacture of the Atrigel system and
its relatively pain-free subcutaneous injection into the body provide
significant advantages over both solid implants and micro particles. Most
of the standard biodegradable polymers can be used in the Atrigel
technology. The hydrophilic solvents employed in the Atrigel system to
dissolve the polymers. The low- molecular- weight polymers at low
polymer concentrations can be easily injected into the body using standard
needles. The high molecular- weight polymers at high polymer
concentrations may be used as gels or putties that can be placed into sites
in the body where they solidify and provide support. Atrigel technology
provides a more stable, ready-to-use formulation.
