Development of New Generation Drugs by Enriching Them with Gases

Abstract

Until today, the mechanism of action of drugs is traditionally considered without taking into account the physical-chemical properties of dosage forms. However, at the beginning of the 21st century, there were reports that all drugs contain unaccounted gases that enter drugs from the air and affect the quality of drugs. It is shown that the composition and amount of gases in the dosage forms of all drugs changes their mechanical, physical, chemical and physical-chemical properties and the mechanism of action of drugs, especially when applied topically It is reported that changing the content of gases in drug solutions and tablets allows to regulate their mass, volume, specific gravity, porosity, physico-chemical activity and local action on the routes of drug administration. The identification of this pattern allowed to start the production of completely new drugs with a certain gas composition and with a new local pharmacokinetics and a new local pharmacodynamics. The formulations of new drugs in which gas is an auxiliary, formative or main ingredient are given. It is proposed to control the gas composition of medicines as an indicator of their quality and an important factor of their physical-chemical activity. It is proved that the gas in the drug can be not only neutral, but also auxiliary, oppositional, and sometimes the main ingredient. Thus, the control and accounting of the gas contained in drugs will allow the creation of a new generation of drugs in the near future.
