Abstract
Spray drying is commonly used for producing amorphous solid dispersions to improve drug solubility. The development of such formulations typically relies on comprehensive excipient and composition screening, which requires the preparation of many spray-dried powder samples. This is both labour-intensive and time-consuming when carried out manually. In the present work, the formulation screening task was automated by coupling a laboratory spray dryer operated in a semi-continuous mode with custom-made add-ons, allowing for rapid, computer-controlled production of formulation samples with systematically varying composition. The practical use of the spray drying robot in formulation development was demonstrated on a case study of poorly water-soluble model drugs simvastatin and ezetimibe. Six different polymers and several drug:polymer ratios were screened for the enhancement of dissolution properties. From a pool of 28 spray-dried samples, ternary compositions containing Eudragit L100-55 were identified as the most suitable ones for further processing and characterisation. The ability to populate the formulation design space rapidly and automatically made it possible to construct maps of physico-chemical properties such as glass transition temperature or dissolution rate. The spray drying robot thus enables the acceleration of early formulation development and a deeper understanding of composition-property relationships for multi-component spray dried powders.

Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 253:126639.

Abstract
Solid dispersions (SDs) possess the potential to enhance the bioavailability of insoluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) by effectively converting them into amorphous state. However, SDs have a tendency to recrystallize unless appropriate excipients are employed. The objective of this study was to evaluate the ability of hypromellose acetate succinate HF (HPMCAS-HF) and Soluplus® to inhibit the recrystallization of β-carotene and improve its in vivo bioavailability through the fabrication of ternary β-carotene solid dispersions (SDs) with the aid of specific surfactant. Due to rapid micellization, the dissolution profiles of β-carotene SDs based on HPMCAS-HF/Span 20 (5:5, w/w) or Soluplus®/Span 20 (6:4, w/w) combinations exhibited significant improvement, which were almost 7-10 times higher than β-carotene bulk powder. DSC and PXRD analysis indicated a notable reduction in the crystallinity degree of β-carotene within the SDs. The stability study demonstrated a half-life of β-carotene in the SDs exceeding 30 days. Additionally, the in vivo pharmacokinetics analysis confirmed that the cellulose derivatives/surfactant combinations significantly enhanced the bioavailability of β-carotene by 1.37-fold and 2.3-fold, respectively. Notably, the HPMCAS-HF/Span 20 combination exhibited superior performance. Consequently, the HPMCAS-HF/Span 20 combination held potential for the advancement of an effective drug delivery system for β-carotene.

Abstract
Cancer treatment has improved over the past decades, but a major challenge lies in drug formulation, specifically for oral administration. Most anticancer drugs have poor water solubility which can affect their bioavailability. This causes suboptimal pharmacokinetic performance, resulting in limited efficacy and safety when administered orally. As a result, it is essential to develop a strategy to modify the solubility of anticancer drugs in oral formulations to improve their efficacy and safety. A promising approach that can be implemented is amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) which can enhance the aqueous solubility and bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs. The addition of a polymer can cause stability in the formulations and maintain a high supersaturation in bulk medium. Therefore, this study aimed to summarize and elucidate the mechanisms and impact of an amorphous solid dispersion system on cancer therapy. To gather relevant information, a comprehensive search was conducted using keywords such as "anticancer drug" and "amorphous solid dispersion" in the PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases. The review provides an overview and discussion of the issues related to the ASD system used to improve the bioavailability of anticancer drugs based on molecular pharmaceutics. A thorough understanding of anticancer drugs in this system at a molecular level is imperative for the rational design of the products.

Abstract
PURPOSE Plasticizers are commonly used in the preparation of amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) with the main goal of aiding processability; however, to the best of our knowledge, the impact of plasticizers on drug release has not been explored. The goal of this study was to evaluate diverse plasticizers, including glycerol and citrate derivatives, as additives to increase the drug loading where good drug release could be achieved from copovidone (PVPVA)-based dispersions, focusing on high glass transition (Tg) drugs, atazanavir (ATZ) and ledipasvir (LED). METHODS ASDs were prepared using the high Tg compounds, atazanavir (ATZ) and ledipasvir (LED), as model drugs. Release was evaluated using surface normalized dissolution testing. Differential scanning calorimetry was used to measure glass transition temperature and water vapor sorption was performed on select samples. RESULTS The presence of a plasticizer at 5% w/w for ATZ and 10% w/w for LED ASDs, led to improved drug release. For ATZ ASDs, in the absence of plasticizer, release was very poor at drug loadings of 10% w/w and above. Good release was obtained for plasticized ASDs up to a drug loading of 25%. The corresponding improvement for LED was from 5 to 20% DL. Interestingly, for a low Tg compound, ritonavir, relatively smaller improvements in release as a function of drug loading were achieved through plasticizer incorporation. CONCLUSIONS The use of plasticizers represents a potential new strategy to increase drug loading in ASDs for high Tg compounds with a low tendency to crystallize and may help improve a major limitation of ASD formulations, namely the high excipient burden.

Cyclosporine A-Loaded Ternary Solid Dispersion Prepared with Fine Droplet Drying Process for Improvement of Storage Stability and Oral Bioavailability. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:pharmaceutics15020571.

Abstract
This study aimed to develop a cyclosporine A (CsA)-loaded ternary solid dispersion (tSD/CsA) to improve the storage stability of a solid dispersion (SD) system and the oral absorbability of CsA. Hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose acetate succinate (HPMCAS) were selected as carrier materials of tSD, and tSD/CsA was prepared with a fine droplet drying process, a powderization technology that employs an inkjet head. The physicochemical properties of tSD/CsA were evaluated in terms of morphology, storage stability, dissolution behavior, and mucoadhesive property. After the oral administration of CsA samples (10 mg-CsA/kg) to rats, the plasma concentration of CsA was monitored to estimate oral absorbability. tSD/CsA comprised uniform shriveled particles with a diameter of 3.4 mm and span factor of 0.4, which is a parameter to estimate the particle size distribution. Although HPC-based binary SD showed marked aggregation of the particles after storage under 40 °C/75% relative humidity, there were no significant aggregations of tSD/CsA, due to the relatively low hygroscopic property of HPMCAS. The pH-dependent release of CsA with improved dissolution was observed in tSD/CsA. In the in vitro mucoadhesive evaluation using a mucin disk, tSD/CsA exhibited a better mucoadhesive property than HPC-based SD, possibly leading to prolonged retention of tSD particles in the gastrointestinal tract after oral administration. Orally-dosed tSD/CsA in rats resulted in significantly improved oral absorption of CsA, as evidenced by a 27-fold higher bioavailability than amorphous CsA. tSD/CsA may be a promising dosage option to improve the storage stability of a SD system and the biopharmaceutical properties of CsA.

Abstract
Solid dispersions have achieved significant interest as an effective means of enhancing the dissolution rate and thus the bioavailability of a range of weakly water-soluble drugs. Solid dispersions of weakly water-soluble drugs with water-soluble carriers have lowered the frequency of these problems and improved dissolution. Solid dispersion is a solubilization technology emphasizing mainly on, drug-polymer two-component systems in which drug dispersion and its stabilization is the key to formulation development. Therefore, this technology is recognized as an exceptionally useful means of improving the dissolution properties of poorly water-soluble drugs and in the latest years, a big deal of understanding has been accumulated about solid dispersion, however, their commercial application is limited. In this review article, emphasis is placed on solubility, BCS classification, and carriers. Moreover, this article presents the diverse preparation techniques for solid dispersion and gathers some of the recent technological transfers. The different types of solid dispersions based on the carrier used and molecular arrangement were underlined. Additionally, it summarizes the mechanisms, the methods of preparing solid dispersions, and the marketed drugs that are available using solid dispersion approaches.

Abstract
The cellulose-based polymers are extensively employed in oral formulations for addressing ADMET issues of API. Herein, we report the synergistic effect of hydroxyethyl cellulose in solubility/dissolution enhancement of BCS class II, anthelmintic drug niclosamide. The low solubility and poor oral bioavailability are the primary reasons for its high daily dose. The amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) developed herein demonstrated reproducible solubility and dissolution enhancement in smaller-to-pilot batches. The significant boost in niclosamide solubility in HEC-based binary SD was rationalized as a result of intermolecular H-bonding as indicated by in-silico studies and further supported by characterization data. HEC is plausibly inhibiting the precipitation of drug and thereby enabling high dissolution and permeation across the membrane. The comparative oral pharmacokinetics in Wistar rats at 25 mg/kg provided 4.4-fold higher plasma exposure of niclosamide in SD formulation SB-ASD-N2 over the plain drug. The results presented herein warrant validation of this ASD under clinical settings. Teaser Amorphous solid dispersions of niclosamide.

Abstract
Zidovudine (AZT) has been widely used alone or in combination with other antiretroviral drugs for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus. Its erratic oral bioavailability necessitates frequent administration of high doses, resulting in severe side effects. In this study, the design of mucoadhesive solid dispersions (SDs) based on chitosan (CS) and hypromellose phthalate (HP) was rationalized as a potential approach to modulate AZT physicochemical and pharmaceutical properties. SDs were prepared at different drug:polymer ratios, using an eco-friendly technique, which avoids the use of organic solvents. Particles with diameter from 56 to 73 µm and negative zeta potentials (-27 to -32 mV) were successfully prepared, achieving high drug content. Infrared spectroscopy revealed interactions between polymers but no interactions between the polymers and AZT. Calorimetry and X-ray diffraction analyses showed that AZT was amorphized into the SDs. The mucoadhesive properties of SDs were evidenced, and the control of AZT release rates from the matrix was achieved, mainly in acid media. The simple, low-cost and scalable technology proposed for production of SDs as a carrier platform for AZT is an innovative approach, and it proved to be a feasible strategy for modulation the physico-chemical, mucoadhesive and release properties of the drug.

Abstract
Cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 9 associates mainly with cyclin T1 and forms the positive transcription elongation factor b (p-TEFb) complex responsible for transcriptional regulation. It has been shown that CDK9 modulates the expression and activity of oncogenes, such as MYC and murine double minute 4 (MDM4), and it also plays an important role in development and/or maintenance of the malignant cell phenotype. Malfunction of CDK9 is frequently observed in numerous cancers. Recent studies have highlighted the function of CDK9 through a variety of mechanisms in cancers, including the formation of new complexes and epigenetic alterations. Due to the importance of CDK9 activation in cancer cells, CDK9 inhibitors have emerged as promising candidates for cancer therapy. Natural product-derived and chemically synthesized CDK9 inhibitors are being examined in preclinical and clinical research. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge on the role of CDK9 in transcriptional regulation, epigenetic regulation, and different cellular factor interactions, focusing on new advances. We show the importance of CDK9 in mediating tumorigenesis and tumor progression. Then, we provide an overview of some CDK9 inhibitors supported by multiple oncologic preclinical and clinical investigations. Finally, we discuss the perspective and challenge of CDK9 modulation in cancer.

Abstract
Solubility limited bioavailability is one of the crucial parameters that affect the formulation development of the new chemical entities. Thus the major constraint in the pharmaceutical product development is the suitable solubility enhancement technique for Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient. Solid dispersion (SD) is an established and preferred method for improving the solubility which ultimately may be helpful to enhance bioavailability. For long period of time Amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) have been preferred for improving solubility, but since last two decades, ASD approach have been combined with different modified release approaches to improvise the stability and site specificity of SD to grasp a hold over the specific advantages associated with such dosage forms. It is an established fact now that the SD technique not only improves solubility limited bioavailability, but it may be combined with other approaches to modify the drug release profile from the formulation as per the requirement based on the apt selection of SD carriers and suitable technology. This review covers the comprehensive overview of all such formulations where SD technology is used to serve dual purpose rather than only the sole purpose of solubility enhancement. The SD approach has been successfully implemented for some of the poorly soluble herbal drugs and still there is a vast scope of advancement in that area. The current review will provide a broad outcome in the area of SD technology for modified release formulations along with the description of current status and future prospective of SD. The SD formed by dispersing drug within the conventional carrier to form ASD increases solubility, dissolution rate and bioavailability; whereas fourth generation hydrophobic carriers provide added advantage of controlled release (CR) or sustained release (SR) profile along with enhanced stability of SD. On the other frontier, pH dependant carriers enable the SD to achieve site specificity or delayed release (DR) profile.

Evaluation of Piperine as Natural Coformer for Eutectics Preparation of Drugs Used in the Treatment of Cardiovascular Diseases. AAPS PharmSciTech 2022; 23:127. [PMID: 35474407 DOI: 10.1208/s12249-022-02270-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2022] [Accepted: 04/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Piperine (PIP) was evaluated as a natural coformer in the preparation of multicomponent organic materials for enhancing solubility and dissolution rate of the poorly water-soluble drugs: curcumin (CUR), lovastatin (LOV), and irbesartan (IBS). A screening based on liquid assisted grinding technique was performed using 1:1 drug-PIP molar ratio mixtures, followed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) analyses. Three eutectic mixtures (EMs) composed of CUR-PIP, LOV-PIP, and IBS-PIP were obtained. Therefore, binary phase and Tamman's diagrams were constructed for each system to obtain the exact eutectic composition, which was 0.41:0.59, 0.29:0.71, and 0.31:0.69 for CUR-PIP, LOV-PIP, and IBS-PIP, respectively. Further, bulk materials of each system were prepared to characterize them through DSC, PXRD fully, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and solution-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. In addition, the contact angle, solubility, and dissolution rate of each system were evaluated. The preserved characteristic in the PXRD patterns and FT-IR spectra of the bulk material of each system confirmed the formation of EM mixture without molecular interaction in solid-state. The formation of EM resulted in improved aqueous solubility and dissolution rate associated with the increased wettability observed by the decrease in contact angle. In addition, solution NMR analyses of CUR-PIP, LOV-PIP, and IBS-PIP suggested no significant intermolecular interactions in solution between the components of the EM. Hence, this study concludes that PIP could be an effective coformer to improve the solubility and dissolution rate of CUR, LOV, and IBS.

[PMID: 34560973 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2021.118562] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2021] [Revised: 07/27/2021] [Accepted: 08/13/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) are regarded as one of the most promising techniques for poorly-soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (API). However, the thermodynamic instability of ASDs at supersaturated state makes them easy to recrystallize in aqueous media. In this study, ritonavir (RTV) was selected as a model drug for evaluating the solubility enhancement and recrystallization inhibition effect of various cellulose derivatives and the combinations of them with typical surfactants. Combination of HPMCAS-HF/SLS was filtrated for preparing ternary RTV solid dispersions (RTV SD) via solvent evaporation method. RTV SD exhibited enhanced dissolution manner, while the oral bioavailability of RTV SD was equivalent with the Reference Standard Norvir® but increased significantly compared to the ternary physical mixture. Thus, the ternary SD system might be promisingly employed as efficient drug delivery system for RTV, while the HPMCAS-HF/SLS combination could be recommended as effective excipient for fabricating steady solid dispersions loading poorly soluble API.

Abstract
Khellin, a furanochromone isolated from fruits and seeds of Ammi visnaga, is traditionally used in many eastern Mediterranean countries. The plant decoction and the crystalline substance khellin have many pharmacological activities. For instance, it acts as a bronchodilator and also relieves renal colic and urethral stones, etc. However, the low water solubility (~ 120 µg/mL) and low bioavailability limit its therapeutic application. Thus, the present research explores the development of its binary and ternary solid dispersion formulations to improve its solubility and dissolution behavior. A 24-well plate miniaturized protocol was established to identify the optimal hydrophilic polymer to prepare its solid dispersions. PEG-4000 was recognized as the favorable hydrophilic carrier in preparation of solid dispersion, SSB17. The formulation displayed ~ five-fold enhancement in the aqueous solubility of khellin. The binary solid dispersion SSB17 was manufactured at a gram scale and evaluated using 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, FT-IR, p-XRD, SEM, DSC, in vitro dissolution, and predicted pharmacokinetics. The quantitative dissolution data of SSB17 demonstrated ~ 2-3-fold improvement in AUC at physiological pH conditions. These conclusions highlight the basis for further preclinical studies on solid dispersions of khellin with improved biopharmaceutical properties.

Abstract
The number of active pharmaceutical compounds from the biopharmaceutical classification system (BCS) belonging to Class II and IV have significantly increased in recent years. These compounds have high therapeutic potential but are difficult to formulate as oral dosage forms due to their poor aqueous solubility. The solubility and bioavailability of these poorly water-soluble compounds can be increased by various formulation approaches, such as amorphous solid dispersions (ASD), salt formation, complexations, etc. Out of these techniques, the ASD approach, where compounds are converted into amorphous form and embedded in the hydrophilic matrix, have been successfully used in many marketed preparations. The recent advancement of this ASD approach is the design of ternary solid dispersions (TSD), where an additional component is added to further improve their performance in terms of solubility, stability, and processability. This review discusses the classification, mechanism of performance improvement, preparation techniques, and characterizations for TSD.

Novel amorphous solid dispersion based on natural deep eutectic solvent for enhancing delivery of anti-tumor RA-XII by oral administration in rats. Eur J Pharm Sci 2021; 166:105931.

Abstract
At present, oral chemotherapy showing the advantages of non-invasiveness, convenience, and high patient compliance, is gradually replacing traditional intravenous chemotherapy to treat patients with cancer. RA-XII, a unique natural cyclopeptide, exhibits various biological activities, such as anti-tumor, anti-angiogenic, and anti-metastatic activities. Designing an orally available formulation of RA-XII is of great importance in the development of clinically useful anticancer agents. However, RA-XII shows low oral bioavailability in rats due to its poor solubility and low permeability. To overcome these limitations, in this work, a natural deep eutectic solvent (NADES) was designed to efficiently deliver RA-XII by oral administration. A novel NADES composed of betaine and mandelic acid in the molar ratio of 1:1 (Bet-Man NADES) was successfully prepared based on a binary phase diagram of Bet and Man. Acute toxicity studies indicated that Bet-Man NADES was well tolerated with acceptable toxicity. In Bet-Man NADES solutions, the solubility of RA-XII was increased by up to 17.54-fold, and the diffusion and permeability of RA-XII carried out in a Franz cell was also significantly improved 10.35 times. In terms of biopharmaceutical classification this is translated into a change for RA-XII from class IV to class II systems. More importantly, Bet-Man NADES was transferred into the solid formulation by the inclusion of a polymer, and amorphous solid dispersions based on Bet-Man NADES (PVP K30/NADES/RA-XII, ASDs) were successfully prepared to improve uniformity, apparent solubility, dissolution, and cytotoxicity in vitro. Consequently, the oral bioavailability of RA-XII in NADES solutions and ASDs was enhanced by approximately 11.58 and 7.56 times compared with that of pure RA-XII in 0.5% CMCNa. Thus, it can be seen that a natural deep eutectic solvent and its modified amorphous solid dispersions are appropriate novel strategies for improving dissolution rate and bioavailability of poor soluble natural products such as RA-XII.

Abstract
This review aims to provide an overview of studies that address the use, in therapeutic applications, of solid dispersions (SDs) with biological activities in vitro and/or in vivo mainly made up of polymeric matrices, as well as to evaluate the bioactive activity of their constituents. This bibliographic survey shows that the development of solid dispersions provides benefits in the physicochemical properties of bioactive compounds, which lead to an increase in their biological potential. However, despite the reports found on solid dispersions, there is still a need for biological assay-based studies, mainly in vivo, to assist in the investigation and to devise new applications. Therefore, studies based on such an approach are of great importance to enhance and extend the use of solid dispersions in the most diverse therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Physicochemical characterization is a crucial step for the successful development of solid dispersions, including the determination of drug crystallinity and molecular interactions. Typically, the detection of molecular interactions will assist in the explanation of different drug performances (e.g., dissolution, solubility, stability) in solid dispersions. Various prominent reviews on solid dispersions have been reported recently. However, there is still no overview of recent techniques for evaluating the molecular interactions that occur within solid dispersions of poorly water-soluble drugs. In this review, we aim to overview common methods that have been used for solid dispersions to identify different bond formations and forces via the determination of interaction energy. In addition, a brief background on the important role of molecular interactions will also be described. The summary and discussion of methods used in the determination of molecular interactions will contribute to further developments in solid dispersions, especially for quick and potent drug delivery applications.

Abstract
In recent decades, solid dispersions have been demonstrated as an effective approach for improving the bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs, as have solid dispersion techniques that include the application of nanotechnology. Many studies have reported on the ability to change drug crystallinity and molecular interactions to enhance the dissolution rate of solid dispersions using hydrophilic carriers. However, numerous studies have indicated that insoluble carriers are also promising excipients in solid dispersions. In this report, an overview of solid dispersion strategies involving insoluble carriers has been provided. In addition to the role of solubility and dissolution enhancement, the perspectives of the use of these polymers in controlled release solid dispersions have been classified and discussed. Moreover, the compatibility between methods and carriers and between drug and carrier is mentioned. In general, this report on solid dispersions using insoluble carriers could provide a specific approach and/or a selection of these polymers for further formulation development and clinical applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although curcumin has been demonstrated to be beneficial in treating various diseases, its low solubility, chemical stability and bioavailability limit its application, especially in cancer therapy. METHODS Solid dispersions have been utilized in the last few decades to improve the bioavailability and stability of curcumin. RESULTS However, there is a lack of summaries and classifications of the methods for preparing curcumin with this technology. The current review aims to overview the strategies used to develop solid dispersions containing curcumin for improving drug delivery. The classification of techniques for creating solid dispersions for curcumin was summarized, including systems for protecting curcumin degradation despite its chemical stability. The applications of advanced nanotechnologies in recent studies of solid dispersions were also discussed to explain the roles of nanoparticles in formulations. CONCLUSION This overview of recent developments in formulating solid dispersions for improving curcumin bioavailability will contribute to future studies of curcumin for clinical development.
