Infused oils

Infused oil Produced by immersion of plant material in vegetable oil, often gently heated to release aromatic products from the plant into the oil. Also called macerated oils or herbal oils. 

Maceration A method of extracting materials, such as herbs, by soaking the plant material in water or alcohol for several days. The resulting material is called a tincture when ethanol is used. Tinctures were traditionally used in pharmaceuticals and perfumes but are practically obsolete now (see also Infused oil). 

Oils, infused Oleaginous preparations for external use made by macerating a drug with alcohol and ammonia water, and digesting the mixture with sesame oil at 60-70°C until the alcohol and ammonia water have evaporated. The most common. Infused Oil of Hyoscyamus, was used to make Compound Oil of Hyoscyamus. This preparation was popular in France for the treatment of earache under the name baume tranquilleP ... 

Good herbs for oils are thyme, oregano, sage, fennel, basil, and rosemary. Infused oils have the potential to support the growth of harmful bacteria, so follow the procedures listed carefully. 

Measure out the beeswax and add to the pot. A good estimate is 2 ounces (57 g) of wax to every pint (475 ml) of infused oil (so for this formula, about 4 ounces [113 g]). Many people like the beeswax grated, but I just break it up into small pieces. Heat until beeswax is melted. 

Biopolymers have always been attractive materials in a variety of biomedical appU-cations including transdennal drug deUvery (Petrasic, 2011). Chitosan, a readily available biodegradable and biocompatible biopolymer, has been successfully used in fabrication of microcapsules intended for oral or topical medications. In a smdy of Lam et al., 5-fluoromucil was encapsulated in chitosan microcapsules and subsequently applied to a cotton fabric to a create transdennal delivery vehicle (Lam et al., 2012) 5-fluorouraciI (5-fluoro-lH-pyrimidine-2,4-dione) was chosen for its effective cytotoxic activity in the topical treatment of various forms of skin cancers. It was dissolved in calendula-infused oil and the mixture was then dispersed in the chitosan solution (in acetic acid) and stined into an emulsion. Sodium hydroxide... 

Several commercial polyester fabrics are flame retarded using low levels of phosphoms additives that cause them to melt and drip more readily than fabrics without the flame retardant. This mechanism can be completely defeated by the presence of nonthermoplastic component such as infusible fibers, pigments, or by siUcone oils which can form pyrolysis products capable of impeding melt flow (27,28). 

Volatiles or Aroma. The essential oil, or aroma, of tea provides much of the pleasing flavor and scent of green and black tea beverages. Despite this, volatile components comprise only - 1% of the total mass of the tea leaves and tea infusions. Black tea aroma contains over 300 characterizing compounds, the most important of which are terpenes, terpene alcohols, lactones, ketones, esters, and spiro compounds (30). The mechanisms for the formation of these important tea compounds are not fully understood. The respective chemistries of the aroma constituents of tea have been reviewed... 

A coconut-infused rum, which was the centerpiece of a chocolate cream dessert cocktail, tasted superb, but when you mixed the drink, it looked like a curdled custard, with a sheen, he said. The coconut oil just rose to the top. It was disgusting. ... 

Acute pancreatitis has been induced in dogs by retrograde intraductal injections of 5% hydrogen peroxide solution and sunflower oil (Keleman and Torok, 1990) and in rats by continuous infusion of xanthine/XO or hydrogen peroxide into the coeliac artery (Tamura et al., 1991a). Xanthine/XO has also been shown to be toxic, as measured by release of LDH, to in vitro rat pancreatic acini (Tamura et al., 1991b).

Iron-deficiency anemia in chronic PN patients may be due to underlying clinical conditions and the lack of iron supplementation in PN. Parenteral iron therapy becomes necessary in iron-deficient patients who cannot absorb or tolerate oral iron. Parenteral iron should be used with caution owing to infusion-related adverse effects. A test dose of 25 mg of iron dextran should be administered first, and the patient should be monitored for adverse effects for at least 60 minutes. Intravenous iron dextran then may be added to lipid-free PN at a daily dose of 100 mg until the total iron dose is given. Iron dextran is not compatible with intravenous lipid emulsions at therapeutic doses and can cause oiling out of the emulsion. Other parenteral iron formulations (e.g., iron sucrose and ferric gluconate) have not been evaluated for compounding in PN and should not be added to PN formulations. 

In Ayurvedic medicine, coconut oil infused with herbs has been used medicinally for almost 4000 years as an effective treatment for skin diseases caused by infestation with parasites, such as scabies and head lice. Today, about 20 billion coconuts are grown each year, and although the major producers are the Philippines, India, and Indonesia, virtually everywhere the coconut palm grows — in the tropical regions of Latin America and East Africa, as well as Asia, the Pacific Islands, and the Philippines — coconut products serve as a dietary staple. ... 

Some interesting resins have been obtained from the dianhydrides through their acrylic or methacrylic esters. Thus, 2,5-dimethacrylyl-l,4 3,6-dianhydro-mannitol (XIX) was formed by treating dianhydro-mannitol with methacrylyl chloride in the presence of sodium hydroxide. The product, a crystalline compound, polymerized extremely rapidly to a colorless, transparent, infusible resin. The corresponding sorbitol derivative, however, was an oil which polymerized to a softer resin. On the other hand, 2,5-diacrylyl-l,4 3,6-dianhydro-sorbitol (XX) was a crystalline compound, which polymerized to a hard, infusible, glass-like resin. 

Noradrenaline and adrenaline are the classic catecholamines and neurotransmitters in the sympathetic nervous system. Noradrenaline stimulates the following subtypes of adrenoceptors P, a, U2. It has positive inotropic and chronotropic activities as a result of /3i-receptor stimulation. In addition, it is a potent vasoconstrictor agent as a result of the stimulation of both subtypes (ai,a2) of a-adrenoceptors. After intravenous infusion, its effects develop within a few minutes, and these actions disappear within 1-2 minutes after stopping the infusion. It may be used in conditions of acute hypotension and shock, especially in patients with very low vascular resistance. It is also frequently used as a vasoconstrictor, added to local anaesthetics. Adrenaline stimulates the following subtypes of adrenoceptors /3i, P2, oil, 0L2. Its pharmacological profile greatly resembles that of noradrenaline (see above), as well as its potential applications in shock and hypotension. Like noradrenaline, its onset and duration of action are very short, as a result of rapid inactivation in vivo. Both noradrenaline and adrenaline may be used for cardiac stimulation. Their vasoconstrictor activity should be kept in mind. A problem associated with the use of /3-adrenoceptor stimulants is the tachyphylaxis of their effects, explained by the /3-adrenoceptor downregulation, which is characteristic for heart failure. 

The taxanes are practically insoluble in water and solubility is limited to mixtures of ethanol with poly-ethoxylated castor oil. They are generally administered in 3-24 hour infusions. The taxanes are for 90-95% plasma protein bound and primarily metabolized by P450 enzymes in the liver. Less than 10% is excreted in the urine as parent compounds. The elimination half-life of docetaxel is approximately 10 hours while that of paclitaxel has been vary-ingly reported between 5 and 50 hours. Inhibitors of the cytochrome P450 isoenzyme Cyp3A4, like keto-conazole and erythromycine, are contraindicated.
