Article Synopsis
  • A model utilizing alumina (Al(2)O(3)), steroids, and ethanol is developed for testing corticosteroids' stability in pressurized metered-dose inhalers (pMDIs), focusing on how these substances interact under stress conditions.* -
  • The study identifies that corticosteroids with a C21-OH group are more reactive to Al(2)O(3), highlighting the necessity for aluminum canisters with an inert coating to maintain stability.* -
  • The research also outlines the degradation pathways for specific corticosteroids and demonstrates that the model accurately predicts the degradation profile of beclomethasone dipropionate (BDP) consistent with actual product observations.*
