  1. The production of monoclonal antibodies is an example of what type of drug delivery system?
    A liposome
  2. Describe a solid dispersion drug delivery system:
    • A drug delivery system composed of 2 or more solid products
    • 1.) Hydrophilic matrix
    • 2.) Hydrophobic drug
  3. What type of drug delivery system is composed of two solids, a hydrophilic matrix and a hydrophobic drug?
    A solid Dispersion system
  4. What are the two main advantages of a solid dispersion system?
    • Drug stability
    • Dissolution advantage
  5. What three characteristics of a Solid dispersion system give it a dissolution advantage?
    • It has reduced drug particle size
    • The drug is in an amorphous state = increased solubility
    • Enhanced wettability due to the hydrophilic matrix
  6. What two characteristics of a Solid dispersion system give it a stability advantage
    • Low molecular mobility (High Tg)
    • Polymer interaction with the drug through H bonding
  7. What is a liquid controlled release system?
    A controlled release suspension where a polymer is bound to an ionic drug.
  8. What is a Magnetic drug delivery system?

  21. What are some issues with delivery of endogenous neurotransmitters?
    • How to deliver it to the brain
    • How to target specific areas of the brain
  22. The delivery of what is complicated by the issue of delivering the drug to certain areas of the brain?
    Endogenous neurotransmitters
  23. What are possible ways of delivering endogenous neurotransmitters?
    • Intracerebral injection
    • Utilizing pH balance in brain vessels
    • Via food or food supplements
  24. What is an example of a delivery system for endogenous neurotransmitters?
