Hypotonic formulations were evaluated for delivering water-soluble drugs and for drug delivery with muco-inert (that is, non-adhesive) mucus-penetrating nanoparticles (MPP). Hypotonic formulations markedly increased the rate at which drugs and MPP reached the epithelial surface, including deep into the vaginal folds. Minimally hypotonic formulations, preferably ranging from 20-220 mOsm / kg, provided rapid and uniform delivery of MPP to the entire vaginal surface, with minimal risk of epithelial toxicity. Data also show that there is a higher osmolality in the colon, such that vehicles with an osmolality above that of blood plasma (generally considered isotonic at ˜300 mOsm / kg), still lead to improvements in distribution in the colon due to rapid, osmotically-induced fluid absorption. The range for improved colon distribution with a hypotonic vehicle in the colon is ˜20 mOsm / kg-450 mOsm / kg.

Ink-jet printing with fixing ability, while maintaining printing qualities such as OD and sharpness at high levels, can be achieved by using an ink containing a self-dispersing pigment as a coloring material without using a dispersant and a treating liquid for insolubilizing the coloring material. Benalkonium chloride (G50) having one cationic group in the molecule is used as the insolubilizing agent in the treating liquid. As a result, the cationic group is completely bonded to the anionic group of the pigment particle, thereby producing a cohesive force between pigment particles.
