One of the most urgent problems of our time is the high morbidity and mortality of people from viral infections, which can affect almost all organs and systems of the host body. Significant damage to the health of the population and the economy of countries is caused by the incidence of viral diseases. An important issue in the process of pharmacotherapy of patients with viral infections is to provide them with a sufficient number of effective, safe and affordable drugs, especially during the coronavirus pandemic, which humanity actively fought during 2019-2020 and is still fighting today. Aim. To conduct the marketing analysis of the range of antiviral herbal medicines presented at the pharmaceutical market of Ukraine during 2019-2020 and their marketing characteristics. Materials and methods. The study used a list of antiviral herbal medicines according to the State Register of Medicines of Ukraine, the Compendium, and scientific articles of professional publications. The main research methods were systematic, comparative, marketing analysis of the drug market structure, monitoring and graphical method. Results and discussion. According to the PBX international classification system, antiviral medicines based on the plant raw material belong to the group of drugs applied as antimicrobial agents for systemic use. According to the PBX classification, medicines that mainly belong to the J05AX ** group – “Antiviral drugs for systemic use. Antiviral drugs.Others.” were of interest. It was found that as of 01.01.2019, the Ukrainian market of the group studied was formed by domestic manufacturers, there were 4 names of medicines and 4 manufacturing companies. Drugs were presented at the pharmaceutical market in the form of drops, syrups, suppositories and tablets. It was determined that the most available drugs within 2019-2020 were Altabor, Erebra and Flavovir although during the study period there was a steady increase in prices for drugs of this group at the pharmaceutical market. Therefore, it should be noted that from year to year their affordability for consumers decreases. Conclusions. The marketing research has been performed, and the assortment structure of antiviral herbal medicines presented at the pharmaceutical market of Ukraine has been analyzed. The indicators characterizing the market situation, such as offers, product range, price dynamics and the coefficients of availability, adequacy of solvency, etc., have been studied.

Aim. To theoretically substantiate the composition of a wound healing ointment with active substances of plant origin for the therapy in the second and third phases of the wound process. Materials and methods. The study object was the generalization and analysis of scientific literature data on the use of medicinal plants in the treatment of the wound process. Results and discussion. Based on the analysis of scientific literature data on the chemical composition and pharmacological properties of medicinal plants used in the treatment of the wound process, the expediency of using the lipophilic extract of marigold flowers, amaranth oil, fennel essential oil as active ingredients in the wound healing ointment has been substantiated. Marigold flowers due to the presence of a large number of carotenoids and flavonoidswill provide a high level of the antimicrobial, reparative action of the ointment. Due to the content of complex biologically active compounds, such as tocopherols, polyunsaturated fatty acids, vitamins, phytosterols and squalene, the amaranth oil has a pronounced antioxidant activity. The components that are part of the essential oil of fennel contributeto the connective tissue growth and the skin restoration, as well as provide a high level of the antifungal action. Conclusions. The analysis of scientific literature data has shown the possibility of using herbal medicines in the treatment of the wound process. The greatest advantage of herbal medicines is the high degree of assimilation of molecules of biologically active substances, which are part of natural compounds as the most physiological form, by skin cells. The expediency of using the lipophilic extract of marigold, amaranth oil and fennel essential oil when developing a wound-healing ointment has been proven. The composition selected will provide the predicted antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant and reparative effect of the ointment, reduce the likelihood of resistance in pathogenic microorganisms, and accelerate granulation and epithelialization of tissues.

Intestinal infections occupy one of the leading places in diseases of the gastrointestinal tract in humans and animals. Strains of Staphylococcus spp are one of the causative agents of an intestinal infection. When treating an intestinal infection caused by staphylococcus, antibiotics are most often used, but in recent years there has been the formation of resistance in staphylococcus strains to antibiotics that have been used for many years. One of the promising ways to solve the problem of antimicrobial resistance is the use of drugs based on bacteriophages, which have a specific effect on the disease pathogens, however, they are free of toxic and allergenic side effects on the human body and do not cause resistance. Aim. To study the antibacterial effect of the combination of a staphylococcal bacteriophage and a probiotic based on L. acidophilus lactobacilli to different staphylococcal strains. Materials and methods. The following bacterial strains were used in the study: St. aureus ATCC 25923 and St. epidermidis ATCC 12228. The “Polyphag Staf” staphylococcal bacteriophage (manufactured by NVK MVK, Ukraine) and the “Lactofor” probiotic (manufactured by Ananta Medicare Limited, India) based on L. acidophilus lactobacilli were selected as objects. In the study, the antibiotic “Erythromycin” in tablets of 100 mg (the manufacturer – Borschagovsky HFZ, Ukraine) was used as a reference drug. To detect the antibacterial activity to the experimental strains of St. aureus and St. epidermidis, the methods of Appelman and agar diffusion were used. Results and discussion. It was found that when using the combination of a staphylococcal bacteriophage and a probiotic with L. acidophilus lactobacilli the level of the antibacterial activity to the experimental strains of St. aureus and St. epidermidis was higher than when using only the bacteriophage. This is probably due to the synergism of the interaction of the components of the combination of active substances proposed. It was also found that the antibacterial activity of the combination of drugs and the antibiotic erythromycin proposed was at the same level. Thus, the combination of a bacteriophage that destroys staphylococcal bacteria, has no side effects, and does not cause resistance and a probiotics that improves the microflora of the gastrointestinal tract has a number of advantages over antibioticsin the treatment of intestinal infections caused by staphylococcal strains. Conclusions. The studies conducted indicate the prospects of using the combination of a staphylococcal bacteriophage and a probiotic based on L. acidophilus lactobacilli for the treatment of intestinal infections caused by different staphylococcal strains.

Aim. To substantiate the target quality profile for planning the development of a combined drug for injection based on sodium hyaluronate (SH) and dihydroquercetin (DHQ) with an expanded spectrum of the specific activity, as well as to determine the risk factors affecting the quality of the combined drug for injections at the stage of pharmaceuticaldevelopment (PD). Materials and methods. The study objects were the active pharmaceutical ingredients (АРІ) of SH, DHQ and a drug in the form of a solution for injection based on them, as well as potential risk factors affecting the quality of the product. The target product quality profile (QTPP) was developed based on the review and analysis of scientific literature, materials of the State Register of Medicines of Ukraine, pharmacopoeias of the leading countries of the world, articles of scientific publications. The Ishikawa diagram was used to analyze potential risk factors for a drug for injection at the stage of PD. Results and discussion. The application of scientific approaches to the analysis of scientific materials from various information sources on combination therapy with drugs with multidirectional medicinal substances and the availability of information on parenteral medicines (PM) allowed us to plan a QTPP for the development of a combined drug for injection for intradermal administration. In order to identify the most dangerous factors affecting the quality of the drug, the causal analysis of these factors at the PD stage of the combined drug for injection was carried out, and an Ishikawa diagram was constructed. Conclusions. The QTPP has been developed. The expected set of quality indicators that would ideally be achieved to ensure the required quality of the drug has been determined taking into account its safety and efficacy. Based on the risk assessment methodology, the Ishikawa diagram for a combined drug for injection has been constructed; potential risks associated with the quality of active ingredients (AI) and excipients, quality of primary packaging, production conditions, quality control of the drug, the technological process affecting the quality of the combined drug for injection and the causes leading to deviations from these indicators have been identified. This diagram is used as a baseline for the overall assessment of quality risks at the stage of drug development.

Aim. The choice of the qualitative and quantitative composition of excipients to provide the required mechanical strength and disintegration time when developing a pharmaceutical composition in the form of orally disintegrating tablets (ODT) based on paracetamol and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine. Materials and methods. The study object was pharmaceutically accepted excipients used in the pharmaceutical development of solid dosage forms. To conduct the statistical analysis of experimental data, a Minitab® 19.1.1 software was used. Results and discussion. The excipients (povidone of different brands, copovidone, crospovidone of different brands, croscarmellose) used when developing ODT were considered, and it was determined that copovidone and crospovidone type A showed the most optimal quality indicators of the composition. It was found that the particle sizeof crospovidone and the route of its introduction affected the rate of disintegration in the aqueous medium. Using the method of mathematical prediction the optimal content of excipients in the composition and the experimental confirmation ofthe quality indicators of the mixture selected to create ODT were determined. Conclusions. Excipients used in the development of ODT have been considered, and the excipients exhibiting the best quality indicators of the compositions have been found. Both the influence of the particle size of crospovidone, and the route of its administration have been determined. The optimal content of excipients in the composition and their experimental confirmation have been determined due to mathematical prediction.

Using the method of mathematical prediction the optimal content of excipients in the composition and the experimental confirmation ofthe quality indicators of the mixture selected to create ODT were determined.\u0000Conclusions. Excipients used in the development of ODT have been considered, and the excipients exhibiting the best quality indicators of the compositions have been found. Both the influence of the particle size of crospovidone, and the route of its administration have been determined. The optimal content of excipients in the composition and their experimental confirmation have been determined due to mathematical prediction.","PeriodicalId":19221,"journal":{"name":"News of Pharmacy","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84503473","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Acute respiratory viral infections (ARVI) are highly prevalent, and it is especially dangerous during the COVID-19 pandemic. The most effective way to prevent the ARVI is vaccination. Aim. To analyze the pharmaceutical market of vaccines registered in Ukraine. Material and methods. The material of the study was data of the State Register of Medicines of Ukraine 2020, information on the results of the epidemic season of influenza and ARVI of the Center for Public Health of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, declared wholesale prices for vaccines in Ukraine in December 2020. The methods of frequencyand descriptive analysis were used. Results and discussion. As a result of the structural analysis of ATC classification it was found that viral vaccines against influenza of J07B В group were presented at the pharmaceutical market. The frequency analysis revealed that there were 665.000 doses of vaccines of 4 trade names at the pharmaceutical market of Ukraine in 2020, all of them were of foreign production from France, the Netherlands, Great Britain, Korea. Among the vaccines purchased, 75 % were French-made vaccines. The cost of one vaccine dose ranged from 185.00 to 249.69 UAH. It was found that the number of vaccine doses purchased for the population during the study period (2016-2020) increased in 190 times. The population vaccination increased from 106683 to 238079 people, i.e. by 123 %. Conclusions. As a result of the research conducted it was found that in 2020-2021 there were 4 trade names of foreign vaccines at the pharmaceutical market of Ukraine.

Aim. To determine the algorithm of the optimal amount of excipients in the composition of tablets based on common ginger. Materials and methods. The study object was the regression equations determining the quantitative effect of excipients in the composition of the dosage form on the target pharmacopeial characteristics. The mathematical processing of these equations was carried out using the Mathcad 15 computer program according to the algorithm proposed. Results and discussion. It has been proposed to use the approximation function to determine the level of optimization. The approximation function is the sum of the squares of deviations of the objective functions from their optimal values. It has been proven that identification of mathematical models in pharmaceutical studies with three dependent factors, which total value is determined by the quantitative composition of a dosage form and is fixed at a certain level, is difficult to perform due to the complicated interpretation of multiple regression parameters as characteristics of factors in an isolated form through their correlation. The region for the optimal solution has been proposed with respect to the values of factors and effective indicators of a multiple regression model. The methodological approach to determining the optimal content of excipients in the composition of the given dosage form has been proposed. Conclusions. The optimal content of excipients – neusilin and colidone – has been determined while developing the composition of tablets based on common ginger with the necessary pharmacological and technological indicators that meet the requirements of the State Pharmacopoeia of Ukraine. The approach to the formation of the region offeasibility in two-way studies has been considered. Using the theory of multi-vector optimization a criterion has been developed; it allows determining the optimal feasible solution in the region under conditions of restrictions both by factors and target indicators.

In recent years, herbal medicines have become increasingly popular in the pharmacotherapy of many diseases. One of the medicinal plants widely distributed in the wild on the territory of Ukraine is common tansy (Tanacetum vulgare L.) of the Asteraceae family; it is a promising raw material for the development of new medicines. In this regard,it is relevant to study and standardize a dense extract of common tansy flowers (DECTF) to predict the possible pharmacological action and the feasibility of further use in the production of solid dosage forms. Aim. To study the qualitative and quantitative content of the amount of flavonoids and the amount of hydroxycinnamic acids in a dense extract of common tansy flowers. Materials and methods. The study object was DECTF. The qualitative composition of phenolic compounds in the extract was determined by TLC. The quantitative determination of the amount of flavonoids calculated with reference to luteolin was performed by the spectrophotometric method. Results and discussion. The identification of DECTF was performed by TLC. It allowed us to identify 3 dominant compounds of phenolic nature – luteolin, luteolin-7-glycoside and chlorogenic acid. The quantitative content of phenolic substances in DECTF was studied by spectrophotometry; it was found that the amount of flavonoids (calculated with reference to luteolin) was 3.69 ± 0.01 %; the amount of hydroxycinnamic acids (calculated with reference to chlorogenic acid) was 16.88 ± 0.02 %. Conclusions. A significant content of flavonoids and hydroxycinnamic acids in DECTF indicates the prospects for further research and development of new drugs with the anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and choleretic action based on it.
