WANG Li-li, SHI Sen-lin
2011, 29(4): 241-246,255.
Abstract(1935) PDF (909KB)(479)
Abstract:
Objective To illustrate the importance of chemometrics tools (experimental design combined with modeling and optimization) in the study on pharmaceutical preparations. Methods A wide range of publications associated with extraction condition and prescription optimizations were reviewed. It was found that the combined optimization methodology mentioned above played a very important role in the study of pharmaceutical preparations. Results The methodology based on the combination of experimental design, modeling and optimization, was a very effective tool for solving the complex optimization problems in pharmaceutical studies. With the help of experimental design, all experimental points could be arranged scientifically and reasonably, and thus in turn, only a minimal of experimental points were required; with the assist of mathematical modeling, the immanence disciplines between the experimental results and its corresponding experimental factors could be abstractively expressed and interpreted via mathematical model; with the aid of optimization, the optimal results as well as its corresponding conditions could be finally predicted. Conclusion With the rapid development of pharmaceutical preparations and its integration with other cross-disciplines, there would be more and more complex nonlinear problems which could make a wider use of the proposed combined optimization methodology.

Abstract(1986) PDF (874KB)(453)
Abstract:
Objective To describe the factors of confusions between drug trade names and drug registered names that might lead to medication errors. Methods Drug trade names data are collected from the shared database at State Food and Drug Administration website. The drug names are matched to find out if they were sound-alike or look-alike. Results 7 323 trade name records were collected and 3 462(47.3%) of them were those one trade name for one drug products. Further experiment indicates that 10 groups trade names among the records were different international nonproprietary names that share one trade name with each other. 70 groups were look-alike and 122 groups were sound-alike. 316 of 384 randomly selected trade names were registered. Some registered names were the same as some trade names but for different international nonproprietary name drugs respectively. Conclusion The factors that different names share one drug, different drugs share one name, sound-alike names and look-alike names are common, which is thought to be the contributing cause of medication errors. More attention should be paid on drug trade names to minimize the risk of wrong-selecting, wrong-dispensing and wrong-administrating drugs. Regulation should be established on designing appropriate drug names as well.
