Abstract
A microscopic erosion time test was recently described to anticipate amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) drug load dispersibility limit, using 0.5ml media volume. Studies here build upon this microscope-enabled method but focus on drug and polymer dissolution from an ASD disc, along with imaging. The objective was 1) to design and build a microscope-enabled disc dissolution system (MeDDiS) with a 900mL dissolution volume and 2) assess the ability of MeDDiS imaging of dissolving discs to provide concordance with measured drug and polymer dissolution profiles. MeDDiS employed a digital microscope to image ASD discs and a one-liter vessel for dissolution. ASD discs containing ritonavir (5-50% drug load) and PVPVA were fabricated and subjected to in vitro dissolution using MeDDiS, where disc diameter was quantified with time. Ritonavir and PVPVA release were also measured. Results indicate concordance between imaging and dissolution. Both found 25% drug load to provide high drug and polymer release, but 30% yielded low release. Quantitatively, MeDDiS images predicted drug and polymer release profile, both above and below the drug load cliff. Overall, studies here describe a MeDDiS which has promised to anticipate drug and polymer dissolution, via imaging of dissolving discs, above and below the ASD drug load cliff.
