Comparison of Nicotine Transdermal Delivery Systems

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) of pH 7.4 (consisting of 0.01 M phosphate buffer, 0.0027 M potassium chloride, and 0.137 M sodium chloride) was prepared by dissolving PBS tablets (MP Biomedicals, Solon, OH) in deionized water. Sodium azide (Acros Organics, Morris Plains, NJ) was added to PBS at 0.02% as a bacteriostat.
Two TDS products were investigated in the study. The first TDS was Equate Clear Transdermal System Nicotine Patch, 21 mg/24 h (Nicoderm CQ®) manufactured by Alza Corp (Mountain View, CA), National Drug Code (NDC) of 49035-194-02, lot number 1405762. The second TDS was Aveva Transdermal System Nicotine Patch, 21 mg/24 h manufactured by Aveva Drug Delivery Systems (Miramar, FL), NDC of 0536-5896-88, lot number 42488. Although both systems have the same nominal delivery rate, the two products are of different size and the formulations are also different with respect to drug loading, adhesives, and inactive excipients. The Alza and Aveva nicotine TDS are hereafter referred to as TDS-N1 and TDS-N2, respectively. These two pharmaceutically equivalent nicotine TDS products have different formulations, are not approved as therapeutic equivalents, and are not expected to be bioequivalent to each other.

Isolation and Modification of Erythrocytes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Experiments in vitro were carried out according to the scheme shown in Figure 1. In the first stage of the experiment, a suspension of erythrocytes was prepared. For this, 150 μl of fresh human blood was centrifuged at 3000 rpm during 5 minutes to separate blood cells from plasma. Plasma was removed, and the volume was brought to that of the original blood sample with PBS, pH 7.4 (PBS Tablets, MP Biomedicals, USA). Hence, in suspension, RBC concentration was the same as in initial blood. The RBCs were washed three times in PBS. In the second stage of the experiment, various modifiers were added to RBCs.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
