3.2.6 Acidifying Agents

Empty stomach has pH 1.5-2 and it raises (pH 5-6) after ingestion of food pH 5-6. The pH of
stomach is so low because of the secretion of HCl. Gastric HCl destroys the bacteria of the
ingested food and drinks. It also softens the fibrous food and helps in formation of the proteolytic
enzyme pepsin and metabolism of proteins in the ingested food.
Achlorhydria and Hypochlorhydria
Consequently, absence of hydrochloric acid (HCl) in the gastric juices can cause
achlorhydria. It is a more severe form of a hypochlorhydria, a deficiency of stomach acids. Both
the conditions can impair the digestive process and lead to damage of the gastrointestinal
system. There are various factors which are responsible for developing achlorhydria, including:
hypothyroidism, Surgery, H. pylori infection, autoimmune disorders and medications.
Acidifying agents are the chemicals that increase the level of gastric acid in the stomach
when ingested, thus decreasing the stomach pH. These agents are used in condition where there is
absence or insufficient secretion of hydrochloric acid in stomach and leads to the conditions
called achlorhydria or hypochlorhydria. These disease states can be treated by various acidifying
agents like ammonium chloride, dilute HCl, Calcium chloride, etc.
There are four main types of acidifiers:
➢ Gastric acidifiers, used to restore temporarily the acidity of stomach in patient suffering
from hypochlorhydria.
➢ Urinary acidifiers, used to control pH in urine.
➢ Systemic acidifiers, used to control pH in the overall body.
➢ Acids, mostly used in laboratory experiments.
Dilute Hydrochloric Acid
Chemical Formula: HCl
Molecular Weight: 36.5
IP Limit: It contains not less than 9.5% and not more than 10.5% w/w of HCl
Preparation: It is prepared by mixing of HCl and purified water.
Measure 137 ml of Hydrochloric acid and transferred in a beaker. Pour about 200 ml of distilled
water into a 500 ml capacity beaker. Transfer slowly, through sidewalls of the beaker, 137 ml of
Hydrochloric acid LR, into above said beaker, while gentle mixing by using a glass rod. Transfer
prepared solution into a 500 ml capacity volumetric flask by using a glass funnel. Rinse the
beakers and funnel with few ml of distilled water, and allow to add into the contents of volumetric
flask. Make up the volumetric flask to mark with distilled water, remove the funnel, keep the lid
to close the volumetric flask and shake gently to mix the solution. Transfer the prepared solution
into a suitable container. The resultant solution is having the concentration of 10% w/w.
94 Text Book of Pharmaceutical Chemistry
Properties of Hydrogen Chloride: Hydrochloric acid is strongly acidic, colorless and viscous,
fuming liquid having an irritating odor. It is corrosive and has a distinctively pungent smell. It
liquefies at 189K to form a colorless liquid and freezes at 159K to form a white solid. The
physical properties such as density, melting point, pH and boiling point depend on
the molarities or concentration of HCl.
Uses of Hydrochloric Acid:
➢ HCl is used in the preparation of chlorine, aqua regia, and other chlorides.
➢ Hydrochloric acid is used as a chemical reagent in the large-scale production of vinyl
chloride for PVC plastic and MDI/TDI for polyurethane.
➢ It is used in household cleaning, production of gelatin and other food additives, descaling,
and leather processing.
➢ It is used as a solvent to dissolve noble gases.
➢ It is used in the production of fertilizers.
➢ It is used in textile industries.
➢ It is used in the manufacture of dye.
➢ It is used in the refining of metals.
Test for Identification: To acidified solution, add silver nitrate solution, shake and allow to
stand, curdy white precipitate is formed, which is insoluble in HNO
3
but soluble after being
washed with water in ammonium hydroxide from which it is reprecipitated by the addition of
HNO
3
.
When added to KMnO
4
with dilute nitric acid, chlorine is evolved.

3.2.7 Protectives and Adsorbents

Adsorbents are the substance on which adsorbate is adsorbed, and adsorbate is the material
that has been or can be adsorbed. Adsorption is defined as the adhesion of atoms, ions, or
molecules from a gas, liquid, or dissolved solid to a surface. Major types of adsorbents in use are:
activated alumina, silica gel, activated carbon, molecular sieve carbon, molecular sieve zeolites
and polymeric adsorbents. Most adsorbents are manufactured (such as activated carbons), but a
few, such as some zeolites, occur naturally. In the process of adsorption, the gas or liquid particles
bind to the solid or liquid surface which is called as adsorbent. The particles form an atomic or
molecular adsorbate film.
Various adsorbent materials such as carbon, silica gels and alumina are amorphous, and have
complex network of interconnected micropores.

3.2.8 Cathartics

Saline Cathartics (purgative) are inorganic agents that promote evacuation of bowels, used in
constipation and dyschezia (the inability to defecate without pain or difficulty). These agents help
to resolve constipation or empty the bowel of fecal matter before procedures or surgery involving
the lower bowel. Increase the motility of the intestine or increase the bulk of feces. Constipation
is generally defined as “the passage of hard stools less frequently than the person’s normal bowel
pattern”. Constipation is of two different types:
96 Text Book of Pharmaceutical Chemistry
➢ Primary constipation: Primary constipation often associated with not consuming
enough fiber or not drinking enough fluids, causes slow intestinal movements.
➢ Secondary constipation: This type of constipation is caused by some metabolic disease
such as diabetes, neurologic diseases (stroke, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis),
connective tissue disorders, or eating disorders.

3.2.9 Laxatives

Laxatives are types of drugs that are used to treat constipation by loosening stools or inducing
a bowel movement. Laxatives usually should not be used for long-term unless under medical
supervision because they can cause electrolyte disturbances, and make the patient dependent on
laxatives. Laxatives come in the form of pills, capsules, and liquids, suppositories and enemas. They
are divided into five categories:
1. Bulk-forming Laxatives: These laxatives increase the water content and bulk of the
stool, making it move more easily through the intestinal tract. They take 2 or 3 days to
work. These types of laxatives include natural and semi-synthetic polysaccharide and
cellular derivatives, e.g., psyllium (Metamucil), methylcellulose (Citrucel), and high-
fiber foods such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains. These absorb water in the bowel
and swell to bulk out the stool making it softer and easier to pass.
2. Lubricant Laxatives: These agents, as the name indicate, make stool slippery. So, it
moves through the intestine more easily and quickly. The mineral oil and vegetable oil
within these drugs adds a slick layer to the intestine’s walls and stops the stool from drying
out. These drugs typically take 6 to 8 hours to work.
3. Emollient Laxatives (Stool Softeners): These agents moisten and lubricate the
stool making it easier to pass. An emollient laxative includes Colace contain
decussate, a surfactant that helps to "wet" and soften the stool.
4. Stimulant Laxatives: These agents promote contraction of the intestines, promoting the
movement of stools through the bowel. These drugs also increase a stool’s hydration.
Examples of stimulant laxatives are bisacodyl (Correctol, Dulcolax, Feen-a-Mint),
and sennosides (e.g., Lax, Senokot).
5. Osmotic Laxatives: These agents draw fluids into the intestine from the surrounding
tissues, making stool softer and easier to pass. These products include Fleet Phospho-
Soda, lucatose (Kristalose), magnesium hydroxide (Milk of Magnesia or MOM), lactitol
(Pizensy), and polyethylene glycol (Miralax).

3.3 TOPICAL AGENTS

A topical drug is one that is applied to the skin, mucus membranes, or in the body cavities to
have a local effect. Topical refers to something that is relevant to a specific location or area, or
simply “local”. For example, lotions, creams and ointments are applied topically on the skin. Eye
drops are instilled directly into the eyes. These include antibiotics, antiseptic, corticosteroids,
antineoplastics, local anesthetics, etc.
