NTA Level 5 • Semester 2 • PST05208 Determination of Isotonicity by Sodium Chloride Pharmaceutics Theory and Compounding • Source Session/Topic 13 Full source-text version: all educational wording from the extracted learning source is retained; only presenter/tutor metadata and web-layout noise are removed, while formatting is improved for readability. Session 13: Determination of Isotonicity by Sodium Chloride Equivalent Method Total Session Time: 120 minutes + 6 hours of Practices Prerequisites • None Learning Tasks By the end of this session students are expected to be able to: • Give overview of sodium chloride equivalent method • Determine the isotonicity by sodium chloride equivalent method Resources Needed: • Flip charts, marker pens, and masking tape • Black/white board, chalk and whiteboard markers • LCD projector and computer SESSION OVERVIEW Activity/ Step Time Content Method 1 05 Minutes Presentation Introduction, Learning Tasks 45 Minutes Presentation Introduction to Sodium Chloride Equivalent 2 Method Brainstorming 60 Minutes Presentation Determining the Isotonicity by Sodium Chloride 3 Method Demonstration 4 05 Minutes Presentation Key Points 5 05 Minutes Presentation Evaluation 98 SESSION CONTENTS STEP1: Presentation of Session Title and Learning Tasks (5 minutes) READ or ASK students to read the learning tasks and clarify ASK students if they have any questions before continuing STEP 2: Sodium Chloride Equivalent Method (45 minutes) • The Sodium Chloride equivalent method (E) is the amount of sodium which has the same osmotic effect (based on number of particles) as 1g of the drug sample calculation • Percentage of sodium chloride for adjustment to isotonicity = 0.9 – ( % of medicament in solution x sodium chloride equivalent of medicament) • When adjustment is to be made with a substance other than sodium chloride first calculate the required percentage of sodium chloride and then divide this by the sodium chloride equivalent of the chosen adjusting substance • Example o Calculate the percentage of anhydrous dextrose required to render a 1% solution of ephedrine hydrochloride iso – osmotic with body fluid o Sodium chloride equivalent  Ephedrine hydrochloride = 0.30  Anhydrous dextrose = 0,18 • Therefore percentage of sodium chloride for adjustment = 0.9 – ( 1 x 0.3) == 0.6 • Equivalent percentage of anhydrous dextrose = 0.6 = 6 0.1 STEP 3: Determining the Isotonicity by Sodium Chloride Equivalent Method (60 minutes) • Calculate the amount of NaCl required to make the following ophthalmic solution isotonic. Rx Atropine Sulfate 2% NaCl qs Aqua. dist. qs. ad. 30 ml M.ft. isotonic solution 99 1. Determine the amount of NaCl to make 30 ml of an isotonic solution 2. Calculate the contribution of atropine sulfate to the NaCl equivalent 3. Determine the amount of NaCl to add to make the solution isotonic by subtracting (2) from (1) Other substances may be used, in addition to or in place of NaCl, to render solutions isotonic. This is done by taking the process one step further and calculating the amount of the substance that is equivalent to the amount of NaCl calculated in step 3. For example, boric acid is often used to adjust isotonicity in ophthalmic solutions because of its buffering and anti-infective properties. If E for boric acid is 0.50, then the amount of boric acid needed to replace the NaCl in step 3 can be calculated: Or or, more simply: Thus, 0.38 g or 380 mg of boric acid would be required to render the previous ophthalmic solution isotonic 100 To determine amount of ingredients required making isotonic solution Activity: Small Group Discussion (20 minutes) DIVIDE students in small manageable groups ASK students to discuss in groups on the following questions • Calculate the percentage of sodium chloride needed to make an injection containing morphine sulphate 1%, hyoscine hydrobromide 0.04% and sodium metabisulphate 0.1% iso – osmotic with blood plasma REFER Students to Pharmaceutical Calculation. 13th Edition by HOWARD C.

This is due to expanding investment in public and private pharmaceutical sector. Shortage of trained pharmaceutical human resource contributes to poor quality of pharmaceutical services and low access to medicines in the country (GIZ, 2012). Through Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) the Pharmacy Council (PC) together with Development Partners (DPs) in Germany and Pharmaceutical Training Institutions (PTIs) worked together to address the shortage of human resource for pharmacy by designing a project named “Supporting Training Institutions for Improved Pharmaceutical Services in Tanzania” in order to improve quality and capacity of PTIs in training. CSSC prepared a Multi-actor Partnership (MAP) project proposal on how to sustain and strengthen health care in Tanzania through improvement of pharmaceutical training and an inter-institutional coordination of actors. This will harmonize and improve access to quality pharmaceutical service in Tanzania. The project has a various key stakeholders like; CSSC, NACTE, PC, TCU, CEDHA and Pharmaceutical Training Institutions (PTIs). Through this project, few PTIs will receive infrastructural improvements to increase the quantitative and qualitative capacities (CUHAS, RUCU and KSP). Furthermore this project will train Pharmaceutical tutors from different PTIs on teaching and assessment methods in Tanzania and thus improved health delivery through increased qualified human resource. It was also observed that in the previous stakeholder‟s meetings there was a need for the development of training manuals and assessment plans for NTA Level 5 & 6, in order to support the establishment and implementation of the curriculum in PTIs. During MAP kick- off workshop done in February 2018, Stakeholders agreed that there was a need for development of the said manuals and it was among the highest priority in Pharmacy education in Tanzania. Therefore this project aims at developing facilitator‟s guide and assessment plans for NTA Level 5 & 6. Pharmacy Council, CSSC and action medeor developed the Terms of Reference and selected a qualified service provider with experience in material development to develop the mentioned training manuals and assessment plan. Centre for Educational Development in Health Arusha (CEDHA) was selected and offered a contract to develop Facilitators guide for NTA level 5 & 6 and assessment plan. Centre for Educational Development in Health Arusha (CEDHA) was offered a leading role with the instructions to include experts who have developed teaching materials for NTA Level 4. These experts are primarily experienced pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical tutors. The mode of operation used by CEDHA to develop facilitators guide and assessment plan was participatory approach which included a number of activities through various workshops PST 05208 Pharmaceutics Theory & Compounding NTA Level 5 Semester 2 Facilitator Guide iv such as planning, and orientation of material development. After these preliminary workshops, experts developed materials individually and in-groups. Thereafter, developed draft materials were reviewed, edited and formatted and draft one was finalized and shared to stakeholders for inputs. Finally, CEDHA submitted the finalized Facilitator‟s guides and assessment plans for NTA level 5 and 6 to CSSC for endorsement, printing, dissemination and sharing with relevant authorities. There are 11 modules for NTA level 5 making 11 facilitator guides including one practicum guide. PST 05208 Pharmaceutics Theory & Compounding NTA Level 5 Semester 2 Facilitator Guide v PST 05208 Pharmaceutics Theory & Compounding NTA Level 5 Semester 2 Facilitator Guide vi Acknowledgment The development of standardized training materials of a competence-based curriculum for pharmaceutical sciences has been accomplished through involvement of different stakeholders. Special thanks go to the Pharmacy Council for spearheading the harmonization of training materials in the pharmacy after noticing that training institutions in Tanzania were using different curricula and train their students differently. I would also like to extend my gratitude to Christian Social Service Commission (CSSC) for their tireless efforts to mobilize funds from development partners (German Ministry of Industry and action medeor). It is through the implementation of the Multi-Actors Partnership (MAP) project, CSSC has been able to provide the financial and technical support needed during the development of this training material. Many thanks go to the Centre for Educational Development in Health Arusha (CEDHA) experts on health material development and training who coordinated the development of these module sessions

A solution of a neutral salt, such as sodium chloride, also lacks this ability. Therefore it is said to be unbuffered • The presence of certainly substances or combination of substances in aqueous solution imparts to the system the ability to maintain a desired pH at a relatively constant level, even with the addition of materials that may be expected to change the hydrogen – ion concentration. • These substances or combinations of substances are called buffers, their ability to resist changes in PH is referred to as buffer action; their efficiency is measured by the function known as buffer capacity; solutions of them are called buffer solutions • By definition, then, a buffer solution is a system, usually an aqueous solution, that possesses the property of resisting changes in PH with the addition of small amounts of a strong acid or base • Buffers are used to establish and maintain an ion activity within rather narrow limits • In pharmacy, the most common buffer systems are used in o The preparation of such dosage forms as injections and ophthalmic solutions, which are placed directly into pH sensitive body fluids; o The manufacture of formulations in which the pH must be maintained at a relatively constant level to ensure maximum product stability: and o Pharmaceutical tests and assays requiring adjustment to or maintenance of a specific pH for analytic purposes • A buffer solution is usually composed of a weak acid and a salt of the acid, such as acetic acid and sodium acetate, or weak base and a salt of the base, such as ammonium hydroxide and ammonium chloride • Typical buffer systems that may be used in pharmaceutical formulations include the following pairs; acetic acid and sodium acetate, boric acid and sodium borate, and disodium phosphate and sodium acid phosphate 151 • Formulas for standard buffer solutions for pharmaceutical analysis are given in the united States Pharmacopeia • In the selection of a buffer system, due consideration must be given to the dissociation constant of the weak acid or base to ensure maximum buffer capacity. This dissociation constant, in the case of an acid, is a measure of the strength of acid; the more readily the acid dissociates, the higher its dissociation constant and the stronger the acid • Selected dissociation constants, or ka value, the dissociation constant, or Ka value, of a weak acid is given by the equation: Ka = (H+) (A-) Where A- == salt (HA) HA == acid • Because the numerical values of most dissociation constants are small numbers and may vary over many powers of 10, it is more convenient to express them as negative logarithms pKa = – log Ka When equation Ka = (H+) (A-) is expressed in logarithmic form, it is written: (HA) pKa = – log (H+) – log salt acid + Since pH = – log (H ): then pKa = pH – log salt acid and pH = pKa + log salt acid 152 Buffer Equation: • The equation just derived is the Henderson –Hasselbalch equation for weak acids, commonly known as the buffer equation • Similarly, the dissociation constant, or Kb value, of a weak base is given by the equation: Kb = (B+) (OH -) in which B+ = salt (BOH) and BOH = Base And the buffer equation for weak bases, which is derived from this relationship, may be expressed as: pH = pKw – pKb + log base salt • The buffer equation is useful for calculating o The pH of a buffer system if its composition is known o The molar ratio of the components of a buffer system required to give a solution of a desired pH. The equation can also be used to calculate the change in pH of a buffered solution with the addition of a given amount of acid or base STEP 3: Performing Calculations Involving Buffer Solutions (60 Minutes) Activity: Small Group Discussion ( 30 minutes) DIVIDE students in small manageable groups ASK students to discuss in groups on the following questions • pKa Value of a Weak Acid with known Dissociation Constant • Calculate the pKa value of a weak acid, given its dissociation constant, Ka.

It is expressed in terms of osmol/L or Osm/L. Osmolarity depends on the number of particles in a chemical solution, but not on the identity of those molecules or ions. Sample Osmolarity Calculations A 1 mol/L NaCl solution has an osmolarity of 2 osmol/L. A mole of NaCl dissociates fully in water to yield two moles of particles: Na+ ions and Cl- ions. Each mole of NaCl becomes two osmoles in solution. A 1 M solution of sodium sulfate, Na2SO4, dissociates into 2 sodium ions and 1 sulfate anion, so each mole of sodium sulfate becomes 3 osmoles in solution (3 Osm). To find the osmolarity of a 0.3% NaCl solution, you first calculate the molarity of the salt solution and then convert the molarity to osmolarity. Convert percent to molarity: 0.03 % = 3 grams 100 ml = 3 grams / 0.1 L = 30 g/L molarity NaCl = moles / liter = (30 g/L) x (1 mol / molecular weight of NaCl) Look up the atomic weights of Na and Cl on the periodic table and add the together to get the molecular weight. Na is 22.99 g and Cl is 35.45 g, so the molecular weight of NaCl is 22.99 + 35.45, which is 58.44 grams per mole. Plugging this in: Molarity of the 3% salt solution = (30 g/L) / (58.44 g/mol) molarity = 0.51 M You know there are 2 osmoles of NaCl per mole, so: Osmolarity of 3% NaCl = molarity x 2 Osmolarity = 0.51 x 2 Osmolarity = 1.03 Osm 126 STEP 3: Concept on Osmolarity vs. Osmolality (25 Minutes) • Osmolality and osmolarity are units of measurement. Osmolality is the number of osmoles of solute in a kilogram of solvent, while osmolarity is the number of osmoles of solute in a litre of solution. Osmolarity is the concentration of an osmotic solution. • Osmolality is convenient to use because the amount of solvent remains constant, regardless of changes in temperature and pressure. • While osmolarity is easy to calculate, it's less difficult to determine because the volume of solution changes according to temperature and pressure. Osmolarity is most commonly used when all measurements are made at a constant temperature and pressure. • If osmolality is the number of osmoles of solute in a kilogram of solvent, then osmolarity is the number of osmoles of solute in a litre of solution. • Osmolarity deals with the concentration of an osmotic solution, while osmolality deals with the concentration of particles in a fluid. • It is easier to determine the osmolality than the osmolarity. Osmolarity is expressed as Osm/L, and osmolality is expressed as Osm/Kg. • Osmolality is used to determine medical conditions like diabetes, shock and dehydration, while osmolarity is used for the detection of the concentration of dissolved particles in urine.Osmolality is the commonly used method of measurement in Osmometry. • When the concentration of solutes is very low, the osmolality and osmolarity are similar. 127 STEP 3: Performing Calculations Involving Osmolarity (40 Minutes) Activity: Small Group Discussion ( 20 minutes) DIVIDE students in small manageable groups ASK students to discuss in groups on the following questions • How many mOsmol are represented in a liter of a 0.9% sodium chloride solution REFER Students to Pharmaceutical Calculation. 13th Edition by HOWARD C. ANSEL: Chapter 11, for reference ALLOW students to discuss for 20 minutes ALLOW each groups to present for 5 minutes CLARIFY and SUMMARIZE by using the contents below Formula weight of NaCl = 58.5 1 mmol of NaCl (= 58.5mg) = 2 mOsmol 900mg of NaCl per 100mL = 9000mg NaCl per liter Then by using proportion: 58.5mg = 2mOsmol x = 9000 x 2 9000mg x mOsmol 58.5 X = 307.7 = 308mOsmol/L STEP 4: Key Points (5 Minutes) • Milliosmoles (mOsmol) is an expression of the osmotic activity of 1 Millimole • A distinction also should be made between the terms osmolarity and osmolality. Whereas Osmolarity is the milliosmoles of solute per liter of solution while osmolality is the milliosmoles of solute per kilogram of solvent. For dilute aqueous solutions, osmolarity and osmolality are nearly identical. • For more concentrated solutions, however, the two values may be quite dissimilar. The Pharmaceutical personnel should pay particular attention to a product‟s label statement regarding molarity versus molality. 128 STEP 5: Evaluation (5 Minutes) • What is Milliosmoles? • What are the difference between osmolarity and osmolality? STEP 6: Take Home Assignment (15 minutes) Activity: Take home Assignment (15 minutes) ASK each individual student to do the following assignment • A solution contains 156mg of k+ ions per 100 mL.

How many mOsmol per liter are represented by this concentration? o Formula weight of anhydrous dextrose = 180 o 1mmol of anhydrous dextrose (= 180 mg) = 1 mosmol o 5% solution contains 50g or 50,000mg/L o Therefore:  mOsmol/L = 50,000 = 278mOsmol/ 180  OR Using USP equation:  mOsmol/L = 50 x 1000 = 278 mOsmol/ L o 180 STEP 3: Performing Calculations Involving Milliosmoles (60 Minutes) Activity: Small Group Discussion ( 40 minutes) DIVIDE students in small manageable groups ASK students to discuss in groups on the following questions • How many mOsmol are represented in a liter of a 0.9% sodium chloride solution REFER Students to Pharmaceutical Calculation. 13th Edition by HOWARD C.
