`PERSPECTIVES ON THE USE
`
`AND ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS
`
`OF PARENTERAL PRODUCTS
`
`
`
`LEARNING ORIECTIVES
`
`1. Understand why and how a parenteral product is different from
`
`other pharmaceutical products.
`2. Become familiar with routes of administration of injectable prod-
`
`ucts, advantages and disadvantages of each route and the effects pro—
`
`duced on drug action, metabolism and excretion.
`
`3. Be aware of the essential requirements for injectable products.
`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`A substance administered to the body by injection is said to be paren—
`
`teral from the Greek words thrQa' (besides, other than) and suragov (the
`
`gut). Injections are fluid preparations of drugs introduced into the body,
`
`into or through the skin or through the mucous and the serous mem-
`
`branes. Volumes of up to 100 mL are termed Small Volume Parenterals
`(SVPs). Other injectable products given directly into the venous blood
`
`circulation are termed infusion fluids or, more usually, Large Volume
`
`Parenterals (LVPs).
`
`Because a parenteral product bypasses the usual body defense
`
`mechanisms associated with the oral route of administration, it is essen—
`
`tial that an injectable be free from viable microorganisms. A paren-
`
`teral must not cause reactions on administration due to poor
`
`formulation, the presence of particulate contamination or pyrogenic
`materials. Accordingly, parenteral products have essential requirements
`for their preparation, storage and administration that make them dif—
`
`ferent from other pharmaceutical products.
`
`AstraZeneca Exhibit 2086 p. 8
`
`

`
`CHAPTERE
`
`Freedom from viable microorganisms may he achieved by heating
`
`the product to a degree that wiil totaiiy destroy all living matter. This
`
`process is carried out on the final sealed container as a “terminal steriliw
`
`ration”, the conditions being carefully selected so that destruction of
`
`the microorganisms is achieved without damaging the product. Since
`
`the contents of the container can now he described as “sterile”. there
`
`is no need to risk violating the integrity of the product until immedi
`
`state before administration to the patient.
`
`Some drag products may be damaged he sterilisation processes. in
`
`this situation? a product mayr he assembled from sterile components
`under carefully controlled conditions to minimise contamination with
`microorganisms; the final assembled product inside the sealed container
`is not exposed to a terminal sterilization process. This type of product
`
`is described as “aseptic”, examples being fractionated blood products
`
`and drug admixtures.
`
`Solutions that contain gram—negative bacteria are capable of pro
`
`dncing febrile reactions on injection, even if the solution is sterile. These
`
`febrile or pyrogenie reactions are due to the presence of bacterial celt
`
`wall fragments caiicd “endotoxins” that are capable of triggering a
`
`response by the body’s thermal control mechanism. Humans are prob»
`
`ably one of the most sensitive animals to endotoains. The presence of
`
`small quantities of endotosin is an indication that at some stage in pro;
`
`dttction there has been bacterial contamination of the product. The
`sensitive methods for quantification of endotoains now available pros
`ride a measurement that serves as an indication of the hygienic condi;
`
`tions under which the product has been prepared.
`The same comment may be made about extraneous particulate cons
`tamination. A product may be sterile hut minute particles of extraneous
`insoluble matter are almost impossihie to remove completely. However?
`these particles also serve as an indication of the conditions under which
`
`a product is prepared and are readily measured using the appropriate
`instrumentation. Acceptable limits for particulate contamination have
`
`been defined in some cases by regulatory agencies.
`
`HISTORICAL BACKflROUND
`
`The intravenous route of drug administration and the other parena
`teral routes can be dated back to 1656 when Dr. Christopher “insert2

`of St Paul’s Cathedral in Londonwinjected opium dissolved in wine
`into a dog using a syringe and a narrow pipe No one scorned too con»
`cerned about the fact that the same syringe couid have been used previ~
`
`ously for enemas and douches. There was even less comment about
`
`the use of a pig’s bladder and goose quill for subsequent experiments
`leading to the first human trial in 3658. Here the “soinnteer”, described
`as “a malefactor who was unruly and deserved to be hanged”, promptly
`
`fainted following injection of an antimony salt. He was then allowed
`to escape; unfortunately, history does not record how long the “patient”
`(or victim) survived. Occasional experiments were carried out over the
`nest two hundred years but the only injection therapy with any success
`was intravenous administration of saline solutions into cholera victims
`
`in the middle of the 19th century. injections of painkilling agents were
`
`used with increased frequency following the invention of the gradm
`ated glass syringe fitted with a hollow needle, “like the sting of a wasp”,
`by Aieaander Wood of Edinburgh in 1853,
`Bevelopment of the dosage form continued rapidly after the dis—
`covery of the antisyphilitic, Salrarsan, the first of the magic ballets.
`
`If Salvarsan had been active orally it is doubtful if the progress would
`
`have been so rapid. Although the need for “cleanliness” was recognized
`
`quite early, the requirement for sterility was not documented officially
`
`until the midulQZOs,
`
`During World War it, dried blood plasma and penicillin injections
`
`were occasionally reconstituted tinder battle conditions with available
`
`water, frequently from stagnant paddled it was essential to get these
`
`materiais into a traumatized patient who would otherwise have lost
`
`his life. it is probably true that some soldiers may have died of “war
`
`wounds” later but the majority survived with nothing worse than a few
`
`boils. This anecdote is related to make the point that the human body,
`
`when healthy, is capable of withstanding a certain amoont of insult.
`
`However, a patient is not healthy. For many years injections were
`
`administered that may not always have been sterile, were occasionally
`
`pyrogenic, and frequently contained a large quantity and variety of nan
`
`ticulate contamination. Today standards have improved and we demand
`
`that our injections should be completely free of viable microorganisms,
`
`should not cause febrile reactions, and contain only limited numbers
`
`of particles,

`
`FORM AN!) FUNCTIGN OF INJECTABLES
`
`Drugs prepared for injection are usually in the form of a simple
`
`aqueous solution. However, some drugs may not he stable in the pres
`
`ence of water or may be required to be released into the body more
`
`slowly. Nonnaqueous systems such as oil dispersions of powdered solids
`or oils emulsified in water may be employed. Alternatively, a product
`
`may he lyophilised or dried. to he reconstituted with water prior to use.
`
`Parenteral administration of a drug usually has a number of advan-
`
`tages over the oral route.
`
`1. Drug action is usually more rapid.
`
`2. The whole dose of the drug is administered.
`
`3. Some drugs, such as insulin or heparin, are completely inacti-
`
`vated when given (snailsr and have to be administered parenterally.
`
`4. Some drugs are irritants when given orally out can be tolerated
`
`when given intravenously, for example, strong solutions of dextrose.
`
`5. If a patient is dehydrated or in shock, the administration of
`
`intravenous fluids will often save his or her life.
`
`ROUTES OF ADMINISTRATION
`
`Using a hollow needle of the appropriate diameter, parenteral injeo
`
`tions can he introduced into the body by a number of different routes
`
`as illustrated in Figures 1—3.
`
`I. thcnteneous (so) injections are introduced into the soft tissues
`
`just underneath the skin surface. Since the available space in these tissues
`
`is limited, the volurne of these injections does not eaceed lrnL. Care
`
`is required to males certain that the formulation conforms closely to
`
`physiological conditions in terms of pH and tonicity.
`
`2. Intramuscular (inn) injections are introduced directly into the
`
`muscle, usually of the arm or the gluteal region. This route is also used
`
`if the drug is irritant or is insoluble in water or oil so that it must he
`
`used in the form of a suspension. The volume of the injection must
`
`he kept small, generally not more than EmL. The blood supply to
`
`muscles is usually sufficient to ensure that the entire drug close is not
`
`immediately available. For this reason, muscle “activity”, i.e., whether
`
`or not the patient is moving around or is lying supine, may influence
`
`the rate at which the drug is active in the hotly.
`
`3. intravenous (in) injections are introduced directly into the blood
`
`stream. it is possible, with care, to give small volumes of concentrated

`
`slowly so that the solutinns are diluted by the blend flowing past the
`
`needle point as they are given. The intravennna mute is also used tn

`
`Fallewing majer trauma, a patient may receive as much as lQO iiters
`
`of fluid over a period of weeks.

`
`intracraniai cistern and dura mater of the spinai cord. Both are diffi~
`
`cult procedures, with criticai requirements for the injections.
`
`The effect (in, rate and intensity of action) produced by a drug
`
`may vary according to the route of administration. intravenously, the
`
`drug is distributed rapidly throughout the body so the effect on the
`
`target organ is usually seen quickly. However, if the drug is excreted
`
`through the kidney, the action may also he shortelived. A subcutaneous
`
`injection, on the other hand, forms a depot from which the drug is
`
`slowly released. The onset of action is therefore slower, the intensity
`
`is reduced, and the duration of action is longer as seen in Figure 4.
`
`injections do have drawbacks.
`
`I. Some srnaii element of pain may be present that is often
`
`unpleasant for the patient, especiaiiy if there is difficulty in finding
`
`a suitable ”vein for intravenous administration.
`
`2. In most cases, a doctor or nurse is required to administer a dose.
`
`3. Once administered, a drug is immediately available to its target.
`
`organ. if the patient is hypersensitive to the drug, or an overdose is
`
`administered, the effects are difficult to reverse.
`
`4. Administration of any material through the skin requires con—
`
`siderable care since air or microorganisms macsr ire introduced into the
`
`body. These side effects are usually manifested as reactions, such as
`
`nhlehitis, at the injection site.
`
`SUMMARY OF THE ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR
`
`AN INJECTABLE PRODUCT
`
`Because of their critical nature, parenterais rnust be prepared under
`carefully controlled environmental conditions and packed to ensure that,
`at the point of use, the product is:
`
`1. Free from microorganisms, sterile, or prepared from sterile mate
`rials under conditions that minimize the chances of contamination with
`
`microorganisms (aseptic processing)
`
`2. Substantially free from bacterial endotoains and other pyrogenic
`materials.
`
`3. Suhstantiaiiy free from extraneous insoluble materiais.
