The development of an innovative method to improve the dissolution performance of rivaroxaban. Heliyon 2024; 10:e33162. [PMID: 39021978 PMCID: PMC11253053 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e33162] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2024] [Revised: 05/30/2024] [Accepted: 06/14/2024] [Indexed: 07/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Recent advancements in the formulation of solid dosage forms involving active ingredient-cyclodextrin complexes have garnered considerable attention in pharmaceutical research. While previous studies predominantly focused on incorporating these complexes into solid states, issues regarding incomplete inclusion prompted the exploration of novel methods. In this study, we aimed to develop an innovative approach to integrate liquid-state drug-cyclodextrin inclusion complexes into solid dosage forms. Our investigation centered on rivaroxaban, a hydrophobic compound practically insoluble in water, included in hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin at a 1:1 M ratio, and maintained in a liquid state. To enhance viscosity, hydroxypropyl-cellulose (2 % w/w) was introduced, and the resulting dispersion was sprayed onto the surface of cellulose pellets (CELLETS®780) using a Caleva Mini Coater. The process parameters were meticulously controlled, with atomization air pressure set at 1.1 atm and a fluidizing airflow maintained at 35-45 m3/h. Characterization of the coated cellets, alongside raw materials, was conducted using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analyses. Physicochemical evaluations affirmed the successful incorporation of rivaroxaban into hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin, with the final cellets demonstrating excellent flowability, compressibility, and adequate hardness. Quantitative analysis via the HPLC-DAD method confirmed a drug loading of 10 mg rivaroxaban/750 mg coated cellets. In vitro dissolution studies were performed in two distinct media: 0.022 M sodium acetate buffer pH 4.5 with 0.2 % sodium dodecyl sulfate (mirroring compendial conditions for 10 mg rivaroxaban tablets), and 0.05 M phosphate buffer pH 6.8 without surfactants, compared to reference capsules and conventional tablet formulations. The experimental capsules exhibited similar release profiles to the commercial product, Xarelto® 10 mg, with enhanced dissolution rates observed within the initial 10 min. This research presents a significant advancement in the development of solid dosage forms incorporating liquid-state drug-cyclodextrin inclusion complexes, offering a promising avenue for improving drug delivery and bioavailability.

Abstract
Mixing two solvents can sometimes make a much better solvent than expected from their weighted mean. This phenomenon, called synergistic solvation, has commonly been explained via the Hildebrand and Hansen solubility parameters, yet their inability in other solubilization phenomena, most notably hydrotropy, necessitates an alternative route to elucidating solubilization. While, recently, the universal theory of solubilization was founded on the statistical thermodynamic fluctuation theory (as a generalization of the Kirkwood-Buff theory), its demand for experimental data processing has been a hindrance for its wider application. This can be overcome by the solubility isotherm theory, which is founded on the fluctuation theory yet reduces experimental data processing significantly to the level of isotherm analysis in sorption. The isotherm analysis identifies the driving force of synergistic solvation as the enhancement of solvent mixing around the solute, opposite in behavior to hydrotropy (characterized by the enhancement of demixing or self-association around the solute). Thus, the fluctuation theory, including its solubility isotherms, provides a universal language for solubilization across the historic subcategorization of solubilizers, for which different (and often contradictory) mechanistic models have been proposed.

Abstract
Patients diagnosed with symptomatic peripheral artery disease (PAD) in the lower extremities have a higher likelihood of suffering from major vascular events. Recently, FDA has approved the combination therapy of aspirin (ASP) and rivaroxaban (ROX) to reduce acute limb ischemia and other comorbidities in (PAD) patients. Zero order and ratio absorption spectra were employed in three simple and accurate spectrophotometric techniques (dual wavelength (DW), ratio difference (RD) and derivative ratio (1DD) for concurrent detection and quantification of ASP and ROX in their pure forms, lab synthetic mixtures and in biological fluid. Our approach involves careful parameter optimization, including solvent selection, sample volumes, and instrumental settings, to reduce the analysis environmental impact. The acquired recovery percentages of accuracy were within 98-102% for pure active pharmaceutical ingredients and 90-110% for pharmaceutical formulations and biological determinations. A comprehensive assessment was done to compare the three methods regarding their ease of use, linearity, sensitivity, conditions, and limitations. The specificity of the proposed methods was evaluated by analyzing the lab synthetic mixtures. The suggested spectrophotometric methods were validated in compliance with ICH guidelines to confirm the validity claims. Also, statistical analysis was done to compare the outcomes obtained from the suggested methods with those obtained from the official ones and they agreed with null hypothesis regarding accuracy and precision. Furthermore, a comprehensive assessment of the environmental sustainability of the developed method was carried out using the Analytical Greenness Calculator, AGREE algorithm. The selected drugs can be efficiently, safely and economically analyzed by the suggested methods in pharmaceutical and biological matrices with no pretreatment or preliminary separation steps and thereby increasing their greenness level.

Direct Oral FXa Inhibitors Binding to Human Serum Albumin: Spectroscopic, Calorimetric, and Computational Studies. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24054900. [PMID: 36902328 PMCID: PMC10002493 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24054900] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2022] [Revised: 02/26/2023] [Accepted: 03/01/2023] [Indexed: 03/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Direct FXa inhibitors are an important class of bioactive molecules (rivaroxaban, apixaban, edoxaban, and betrixaban) applied for thromboprophylaxis in diverse cardiovascular pathologies. The interaction of active compounds with human serum albumin (HSA), the most abundant protein in blood plasma, is a key research area and provides crucial information about drugs' pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic properties. This research focuses on the study of the interactions between HSA and four commercially available direct oral FXa inhibitors, applying methodologies including steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence, isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), and molecular dynamics. The HSA complexation of FXa inhibitors was found to occur via static quenching, and the complex formation in the ground states affects the fluorescence of HSA, with a moderate binding constant of 104 M-1. However, the ITC studies reported significantly different binding constants (103 M-1) compared with the results obtained through spectrophotometric methods. The suspected binding mode is supported by molecular dynamics simulations, where the predominant interactions were hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions (mainly π-π stacking interactions between the phenyl ring of FXa inhibitors and the indole moiety of Trp214). Finally, the possible implications of the obtained results regarding pathologies such as hypoalbuminemia are briefly discussed.
