Svoboda R, Kozlová K. Thermo-Structural Characterization of Phase Transitions in Amorphous Griseofulvin: From Sub-T g Relaxation and Crystal Growth to High-Temperature Decomposition. Molecules 2024; 29:1516. [PMID: 38611796 PMCID: PMC11013327 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29071516] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2024] [Revised: 03/23/2024] [Accepted: 03/25/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024] Open
Abstract
The processes of structural relaxation, crystal growth, and thermal decomposition were studied for amorphous griseofulvin (GSF) by means of thermo-analytical, microscopic, spectroscopic, and diffraction techniques. The activation energy of ~395 kJ·mol-1 can be attributed to the structural relaxation motions described in terms of the Tool-Narayanaswamy-Moynihan model. Whereas the bulk amorphous GSF is very stable, the presence of mechanical defects and micro-cracks results in partial crystallization initiated by the transition from the glassy to the under-cooled liquid state (at ~80 °C). A key aspect of this crystal growth mode is the presence of a sufficiently nucleated vicinity of the disrupted amorphous phase; the crystal growth itself is a rate-determining step. The main macroscopic (calorimetrically observed) crystallization process occurs in amorphous GSF at 115-135 °C. In both cases, the common polymorph I is dominantly formed. Whereas the macroscopic crystallization of coarse GSF powder exhibits similar activation energy (~235 kJ·mol-1) as that of microscopically observed growth in bulk material, the activation energy of the fine GSF powder macroscopic crystallization gradually changes (as temperature and/or heating rate increase) from the activation energy of microscopic surface growth (~105 kJ·mol-1) to that observed for the growth in bulk GSF. The macroscopic crystal growth kinetics can be accurately described in terms of the complex mechanism, utilizing two independent autocatalytic Šesták-Berggren processes. Thermal decomposition of GSF proceeds identically in N2 and in air atmospheres with the activation energy of ~105 kJ·mol-1. The coincidence of the GSF melting temperature and the onset of decomposition (both at 200 °C) indicates that evaporation may initiate or compete with the decomposition process.

Liquid antisolvent crystallization of pharmaceutical compounds: current status and future perspectives. Drug Deliv Transl Res 2023; 13:400-418.

Abstract
The present work reviews the liquid antisolvent crystallization (LASC) to prepare the nanoparticle of pharmaceutical compounds to enhance their solubility, dissolution rate, and bioavailability. The application of ultrasound and additives is discussed to prepare the particles with narrow size distribution. The use of ionic liquid as an alternative to conventional organic solvent is presented. Herbal compounds, also known for low aqueous solubility and limited clinical application, have been crystalized by LASC and discussed here. The particle characteristics such as particle size and particle size distribution are interpreted in terms of supersaturation, nucleation, and growth phenomena. To overcome the disadvantage of batch crystallization, the scientific literature on continuous flow reactors is also reviewed. LASC in a microfluidic device is emerging as a promising technique. The different design of the microfluidic device and their application in LASC are discussed. The combination of the LASC technique with traditional techniques such as high-pressure homogenization and spray drying is presented. A comparison of product characteristics prepared by LASC and the supercritical CO2 antisolvent method is discussed to show that LASC is an attractive and inexpensive alternative for nanoparticle preparation. One of the major strengths of this paper is a discussion on less-explored applications of LASC in pharmaceutical research to attract the attention of future researchers.

Abstract
Antisolvent crystallization approach using either water (in conventional crystallization process (WAS)), or supercritical CO2 (in supercritical anti-solvent crystallization (SCAS)), was employed in presence of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) to enhance the dissolution of curcumin. The impact of pressure, temperature and depressurization time on the SCAS process was studied using the Box-Behnken design to achieve the highest saturation solubility. A physical mixture of curcumin-HPMC was prepared for comparison purposes. Saturation solubility, scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were conducted to characterize the solid-state characteristics of the crystallized samples. Dissolution studies helped in ascertaining the effects of the crystallization techniques on the performance of the formulation. Curcumin crystalized by different antisolvent displayed varied shapes, sizes, saturation solubility's and dissolution properties. In SCAS process, the maximum saturation solubility (2.83 µg/mL) was obtained when the pressure, temperature and depressurization time were 275 bars, 55 °C, and 22 min respectively. The SCAS samples showed the highest dissolution (70%) in 30 min compared to WAS (27%), physical mixture (18%) and unprocessed curcumin (16%). The improved dissolution rate of SCAS sample originates from the development of sponge-like particles with augmented porosity, decreased crystallinity as well as increased solubility of curcumin.

Abstract
Abstract
Flufenamic acid (FFA) is a Biopharmaceutical Classification System- II (BCS-II) class drug with poor bioavailability and a lower dissolution rate. Particle size reduction is one of the conventional approaches to increase the dissolution rate and subsequently the bioavailability. The use of the liquid antisolvent method for particle size reduction of FFA was studied in this work. Ethanol and water were used as solvent and antisolvent, respectively. Experimental parameters such as solution concentration (10–40 mg/ml), flow rate (120–480 ml/h), temperature (298–328 K) and stirring speed (200–800 rpm) were investigated. Furthermore, the solid dispersion of FFA was prepared with polyvinylpyrrolidone K-30 (PVP K-30) with different weight ratios (1:1, 1:2, 1:3 and 1:4) and samples were characterized using SEM, FTIR and XRD techniques. The experimental investigation revealed that higher values of concentration, injection rate, stirring speed, along with lower temperature favored the formation of fine particles. SEM analysis revealed that the morphology of raw FFA changed from rock-like to rectangular-like after liquid antisolvent recrystallization. FTIR analysis validated the presence of hydrogen bonding between FFA and PVP in solid dispersion. XRD analysis showed no significant change in the crystallinity of the processed FFA.
