Abiraterone is a poorly water-soluble drug. It has a high melting point and limited solubility in organic solvents, making it difficult to formulate as an amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) with conventional technologies. KinetiSol® is a high-energy, fusion-based, solvent-free technology that can produce ASDs. The aim of this study was to evaluate the application of KinetiSol to make abiraterone ASDs. We developed binary KinetiSol ASDs (KSDs) using both polymers and oligomers. For the first time, we reported that KinetiSol can process hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPBCD), a low molecular-weight oligomer. Upon X-ray diffractometry and modulated differential scanning calorimetry analysis, we found the KSDs to be amorphous. In vitro dissolution analysis revealed that maximum abiraterone dissolution enhancement was achieved using a HPBCD binary KSD. However, the KSD showed significant abiraterone precipitation in fasted state simulated intestinal fluid (FaSSIF) media. Hence, hypromellose acetate succinate (HPMCAS126G) was selected as an abiraterone precipitation inhibitor and an optimized ternary KSD was developed. A pharmacokinetic study revealed that HPBCD based binary and ternary KSDs enhanced abiraterone bioavailability by 12.4-fold and 13.8-fold, respectively, compared to a generic abiraterone acetate tablet. Thus, this study is the first to demonstrate the successful production of an abiraterone ASD that exhibited enhanced dissolution and bioavailability.

We developed an amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) of the poorly water-soluble molecule niclosamide that achieved a more than two-fold increase in bioavailability. Notably, this niclosamide ASD formulation increased the apparent drug solubility about 60-fold relative to the crystalline material due to the generation of nanoparticles. Niclosamide is a weakly acidic drug, Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) class II, and a poor glass former with low bioavailability in vivo. Hot-melt extrusion is a high-throughput manufacturing method commonly used in the development of ASDs for increasing the apparent solubility and bioavailability of poorly water-soluble compounds. We utilized the polymer poly(1-vinylpyrrolidone-co-vinyl acetate) (PVP–VA) to manufacture niclosamide ASDs by extrusion. Samples were analyzed based on their microscopic and macroscopic behavior and their intermolecular interactions, using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The niclosamide ASD generated nanoparticles with a mean particle size of about 100 nm in FaSSIF media. In a side-by-side diffusion test, these nanoparticles produced a four-fold increase in niclosamide diffusion. We successfully manufactured amorphous extrudates of the poor glass former niclosamide that showed remarkable in vitro dissolution and diffusion performance. These in vitro tests were translated to a rat model that also showed an increase in oral bioavailability.

Background: At present, there were numerous researches on the migration of components in tablets and granules, the investigation in the pharmaceutical literatrue concerning the effect of drying rate on the migration of water-soluble components of pellets was limited. Temperature and relative humidity (RH) were crucial parameters during the drying process which was an essential step in the preparation of pellets via wet extrusion/spheronization. To quantify these variables, the water loss percentage of pellets per minute was defined as drying rate. Objective: The study aimed to investigate the influence of drying rate on the migration of water-soluble components in wet pellets and the potential migrated mechanism. Methods: The pellets containing tartrazine as a water-soluble model drug and microcrystalline cellulose as a matrix former were prepared by extrusion/spheronization and dried at four different drying temperature and relative humidity. Afterward, the extent of migrated tartrazine was assessed regarding appearance, in-vitro dissolution test, Differential Scanning Calorimetry, X-Ray Powder Diffraction, Attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and Confocal Raman Mapping. Results: Results demonstrated that red spots of tartrazine appeared on the surface of pellets and more than 40% tartrazine were burst released within 5 minutes when pellets dried at 60℃/RH 10%. While pellets dried at 40℃/RH 80%, none of these aforementioned phenomena was observed. Conclusion: In conclusion, the faster drying rate was, the more tartrazine migrated to the exterior of pellets. Adjusting drying temperature and relative humidity appropriately could inhibit the migration of water-soluble components within wet extrusion/spheronization pellets.

In the interest of administration of dosage form oral route is most desirable and preferred method. After oral administration to get maximum therapeutic effect, major challenge is their water solubility. Water insoluble drug indicate insufficient bioavailability as well dissolution resulting in fluctuating plasma level. Benidipine (BND) is poorly water soluble antihypertensive drug has lower bioavailability. To improve bioavailability of Benidipine HCL, BND nanosuspension was formulated using media milling technique. HPMC E5 was used to stabilize nanosuspension. The effect of different important process parameters e.g. selection of polymer concentration X1(1.25 mg), stirring time X2 (800 rpm), selection of zirconium beads size X3 (0.4mm) were investigated by 23 factorial design to accomplish desired particle size and saturation solubility. The optimized batch had 408 nm particle size Y1, and showed in-vitro dissolution Y2 95±0.26 % in 30 mins and Zeta potential was -19.6. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and FT-IR analysis was done to confirm there was no interaction between drug and polymer.

Solid self-micro emulsification technique is the new approach for poorly water-soluble and poorly bioavailable drugs by allowing the drug substance to be incorporated into the oil phase and thus having the ability to permeate the GI membrane to a faster extent. Oleic acid, Tween 80, methanol and colloidal silicon dioxide were used as penetrant, surfactant, co-surfactant and adsorbent, respectively. The interaction between drug and excipients was examined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The results of DSC and FTIR studies did not reveal any possible drug-excipient interactions. The conversion of liquid self-microemulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS) into the solid SMEDDS increases the stability of the emulsion formulation achieved by physical adsorption of an adsorbent material. The release of drug from SMEDDS formulation is justified by in-vitro dissolution studies. SMEDDS increases the solubility of the drug and improves the bioavailability, without disturbing gastrointestinal transit. SMEDDS has the potential to provide a useful oral solid dosage form for the poorly water-soluble drug ziprasidone.

The physical stability of amorphous solid dispersions (ASD) of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) of high glass forming ability (GFA class III) is generally expected to be high among the scientific community. In this study, the ASD of ten-selected class III APIs with the two polymers, PVPVA 64 and HPMC-E5, have been prepared by spray-drying, film-casting, and their amorphicity at T0 was investigated by modulated differential scanning calorimetry and powder X-ray diffraction. It was witnessed that only five out of ten APIs form good quality amorphous solid dispersions with no phase separation and zero crystalline content, immediately after the preparation and drying process. Hence, it was further established that the classification of an API as GFA class III does not guarantee the formulation of single phase amorphous solid dispersions.

Rosuvastatin Calcium

In present investigation liquisolid compact technique is investigated as a tool for enhanced dissolution of poorly water-soluble drug Rosuvastatin calcium (RVT). The model drug RVT, a HMG-Co A reductase inhibitor was formulated in form of directly compressed tablets and liquisolid compacts; and studied for in-vitro release characteristics at different dissolution conditions. In this technique, liquid medications of water insoluble drugs in non-volatile liquid vehicles can be converted into acceptably flowing and compressible powders. Formulated systems were assessed for precompression parameters like flow properties of liquisolid system, Fourior transform infra red spectra (FTIR) analysis, X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and post compression parameters like content uniformity, weight variation, hardness and friability, disintegration test, wetting time, in vitro dissolution studies, effect of dissolution volume on drug release rate, and estimation of fraction of molecularly dispersed drug in liquid medication. As liquisolid compacts demonstrated significantly higher drug release rates, we lead to conclusion that it could be a promising strategy in improving the dissolution of poor water soluble drugs and formulating immediate release solid dosage forms.
