Abstract
Low chain liquid hydrocarbons (LH) at room temperature and atmospheric pressure can be used to simulate the effect of gas hydrocarbons (GH) in aerosol systems without the need of using pressured flasks. Samples of different tetracycline formulations were tested with LH and GH in order to study their behaviour and physicochemical stability in the system. The results showed a similar behaviour between samples when LH or GH were used, suggesting the use of LH to simulate the effect of GH introduction in the system, as a useful predictive method for the development of pressured aerosol formulations without using pressured containers in early steps of the process, such as pre-formulation studies.
