Abstract
The aim of this work was to study the possibility to use SepitrapTM as a carrier for the formulation of amorphous solid dispersions by HME (hot melt extrusion) processing aiming solubility enhancement of poorly water-soluble drugs. SepitrapTM is a microencapsulated powder solubilizer designed to simplify the manufacture of drugs in oral solid forms, not yet tested for this purpose. The performance of SepitrapTM was evaluated in HME processing for amorphous solid dispersions of poorly-water soluble drugs with indomethacin as a model drug. The study was conducted using a twin-screw extruder, two compositions of SepitrapTM and different loads of indomethacin, demonstrating that SepitrapTM could represent a new range of carriers for amorphous solid dispersions for HME processing, reducing necessary downstream steps such as grinding.
期刊介绍:
Pharmaceutical Development & Technology publishes research on the design, development, manufacture, and evaluation of conventional and novel drug delivery systems, emphasizing practical solutions and applications to theoretical and research-based problems. The journal aims to publish significant, innovative and original research to advance the frontiers of pharmaceutical development and technology.
Through original articles, reviews (where prior discussion with the EIC is encouraged), short reports, book reviews and technical notes, Pharmaceutical Development & Technology covers aspects such as:
-Preformulation and pharmaceutical formulation studies
-Pharmaceutical materials selection and characterization
-Pharmaceutical process development, engineering, scale-up and industrialisation, and process validation
-QbD in the form a risk assessment and DoE driven approaches
-Design of dosage forms and drug delivery systems
-Emerging pharmaceutical formulation and drug delivery technologies with a focus on personalised therapies
-Drug delivery systems research and quality improvement
-Pharmaceutical regulatory affairs
This journal will not consider for publication manuscripts focusing purely on clinical evaluations, botanicals, or animal models.
