Encapsulation Efficiency Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Encapsulation Efficiency = Weight of drug in nanoparticles/Weight of feeding drug*100
EE% = WD_n/F_w*100
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Encapsulation Efficiency - The Encapsulation Efficiency used to quantify the proportion of a specific drug that has been successfully encapsulated or loaded into a carrier system, such as nanoparticles.
Weight of drug in nanoparticles - (Measured in Kilogram) - The Weight of drug in nanoparticles is the amount of the drug that has been successfully encapsulated or loaded into the nanoparticles.
Weight of feeding drug - (Measured in Kilogram) - The Weight of feeding drug refers to the total amount of the drug that was initially used or added during the nanoparticle preparation process.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Weight of drug in nanoparticles: 5 Milligram --> 5E-06 Kilogram (Check conversion here)
Weight of feeding drug: 10 Milligram --> 1E-05 Kilogram (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

EE% = WD_n/F_w*100 --> 5E-06/1E-05*100

Evaluating ... ...

EE% = 50

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

50 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

50 <-- Encapsulation Efficiency

Reabsorption Rate of Drug

Go Reabsorption Rate of Drug = ((Renal Clearance*Plasma Concentration)+Filtration Rate+Secretion Rate of Drug)

Filtration Rate of Drug

Go Filtration Rate = ((Renal Clearance*Plasma Concentration)+Reabsorption Rate of Drug-Secretion Rate of Drug)

Relative Bioavailability of Drug

Go Relative Bioavailability = (Area under curve Dosage A/Area under curve Dosage B)*(Dose Type B/Dose Type A)

Acid Value of KOH

Go Acid Value = Molecular weight of KOH*Volume of solution koh*Normality of solution/Weight of sample taken

Drug Purity given Rate of Administration and Dosing Interval

Go Drug Purity = (Drug Rate*Dosing Interval)/(Administered Dose*Bioavailability)

Rate of Administration of Drug given Dosing Interval

Go Drug Rate = (Administered Dose*Bioavailability*Drug Purity)/Dosing Interval

Drug Purity given Administrative Dose and Effective Dose

Go Drug Purity = Effective Dose/(Administered Dose*Bioavailability)

Drug Loading Efficiency

Go Drug Loading Efficiency = Weight of drug in nanoparticles/Weight of the Nanoparticles*100

Encapsulation Efficiency

Margin of Safety of Drugs

Go Margin of Safety = Toxic Dose Response/Effective Dose Response

Effective Dose using Therapeutic Index

Go Median Effective Dose = Median Lethal Dose/Therapeutic Index

Therapeutic Index

Go Therapeutic Index = Median Lethal Dose/Median Effective Dose

Absorption Half-Life of Drug

Go Absorption Half Life = ln(2)/Absorption Rate Constant

Drug Rate Entering Body

Go Absorption Rate Constant = ln(2)/Absorption Half Life

Concentration of Drug using Volume of Distribution

Go Concentration of Drug = Dose/Volume of Distribution

Apparent Volume of Drug Distribution

Go Volume of Distribution = Dose/Concentration of Drug

Tablet Dosage

Go Number of tablet = Desired dosage/Stock strength

Easter Value

Go Easter Value = Saponification Value-Acid Value
