In vitro–In vivo Correlation Studies of Modified Release Solifenacin Tablet Dosage Form

The main purpose of development pharmaceutical dosage form is to find out the in vivo and in vitro behavior of dosage form. This challenge is overcome by implementation of in-vivo and in-vitro correlation. Application of this technique is economical and time saving in dosage form development. It shortens the period of development dosage form as well as improves product quality. IVIVC reduce the experimental study on human because IVIVC involves the in vivo relevant media utilization in vitro specifications. The key goal of IVIVC is to serve as alternate for in vivo bioavailability studies and serve as justification for bio waivers. IVIVC follows the specifications and relevant quality control parameters that lead to improvement in pharmaceutical dosage form development in short period of time. Recently in-vivo in-vitro correlation (IVIVC) has found application to predict the pharmacokinetic behaviour of pharmaceutical preparations. It has emerged as a reliable tool to find the mode of absorption of several dosage forms. It is used to correlate the in-vitro dissolution with in vivo pharmacokinetic profile. IVIVC made use to predict the bioavailability of the drug of particular dosage form. IVIVC is satisfactory for the therapeutic release profile specifications of the formulation. IVIVC model has capability to predict plasma drug concentration from in vitro dissolution media.

Oral Dosage Forms

This article describes an overview of waivers of in vivo bioequivalence studies for additional strengths in the context of the registration of modified release generic products and is a follow-up to the recent publication for the immediate release solid oral dosage forms. The current paper is based on a survey among the participating members of the Bioequivalence Working Group for Generics (BEWGG) of the International Pharmaceutical Regulators Program (IPRP) regarding this topic. Most jurisdictions consider the extrapolation of bioequivalence results obtained with one (most sensitive) strength of a product series as less straightforward for modified release products than for immediate release products. There is consensus that modified release products should demonstrate bioequivalence not only in the fasted state but also in the fed state, but differences exist regarding the necessity of additional multiple dose studies. Fundamental differences between jurisdictions are revealed regarding requirements on the quantitative composition of different strengths and the differentiation of single and multiple unit dosage forms. Differences in terms of in vitro dissolution requirements are obvious, though these are mostly related to possible additional comparative investigations rather than regarding the need for product-specific methods. As with the requirements for immediate release products, harmonization of the various regulations for modified release products is highly desirable to conduct the appropriate studies from a scientific point of view, thus ensuring therapeutic equivalence.

Background: The better control of the drug release with immediate effect is the major concern to achieve better therapeutic action and patient compliance. The failure of the solid dispersion complex during storage as well as in-vivo is another concern for the oral solid dosage form. Objective: The prime objective of the present study was to optimize the biphasic minitablet incorporating quality by design approach using the combination of waxy erodible and water-impermeable excipients. Exploration of Soluplus as a precipitation inhibitor and Dexolve as a solubility enhancer in oral solid dosage form was the secondary objective. Methods: The drug-Excipient compatibility study was assessed by FTIR. Clozapine was chosen as a model drug that has poor aqueous solubility. The complex was formulated using B-cyclodextrin or HP B-CD or Dexolve by kneading method. The screening of solubility enhancers and their amount were performed based on phase solubility study. The precipitation inhibitor was screened as per the parachute effect study. Immediate release minitablets were formulated using a direct compression method using different disintegrating agents. The IR minitablets were evaluated for different evaluation parameters. The sustained release minitablets was formulated by hot-melt granulation technique incorporating the Precirol ATO 5 as a waxy excipient and ethyl cellulose as water impermeable excipient. The SR minitablet was optimized using a central composite design. The amount of Precirol ATO 5 and ethyl cellulose were chosen as independent variables and % drug release at 1, 6, and 10 h was selected as responses. The designed batches were evaluated for different pre and post compressional parameters. The IR and SR minitablets were filled in a capsule as per dose requirement and evaluated for in-vitro drug release. The in-vivo plasma concentration was predicted using the Back calculation of the Wagner – Nelson approach. Results: Drug – Excipient study revealed that no significant interaction was observed. Dexolve was screened as a solubility enhancer for the improvement of the solubility of clozapine. The Soluplus was chosen as a precipitation inhibitor from the parachute effect study. The immediate-release tablet was formulated using Prosolv EASYtab SP yield less disintegration time with better flowability. The sustained release mini-tablet was formulated using Precirol ATO 5 and ethyl cellulose. Two-dimensional and three-dimensional plots were revealed the significant effect of the amount of Precirol ATO 5 and ethyl cellulose. The overlay plot locates the optimized region. The in-vitro drug release study revealed the desired drug release of the final combined formulation. The in-vivo plasma concentration-time confirms the drug release up to 12h. Conclusion: The biphasic mini-tablets were formulated successfully for better control of drug release leads to high patient compliance. The use of soluplus as a precipitation inhibitor is explored in the oral solid dosage form for a poorly aqueous drug. Prosolv EASYtab SP was incorporated in the formulation as super disintegrant. The amount of Precirol ATO 5 and ethyl cellulose had a significant effect on drug release in sustained-release minitablet. The approach can be useful in the industry.
