Abstract
This study presents a novel approach by utilizing poly(vinylpyrrolidone)s (PVPs) with various topologies as potential matrices for the liquid crystalline (LC) active pharmaceutical ingredient itraconazole (ITZ). We examined amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) composed of ITZ and (i) self-synthesized linear PVP, (ii) self-synthesized star-shaped PVP, and (iii) commercial linear PVP K30. Differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, and broad-band dielectric spectroscopy were employed to get a comprehensive insight into the thermal and structural properties, as well as global and local molecular dynamics of ITZ-PVP systems. The primary objective was to assess the influence of PVPs' topology and the composition of ASD on the LC ordering, changes in the temperature of transitions between mesophases, the rate of their restoration, and finally the solubility of ITZ in the prepared ASDs. Our research clearly showed that regardless of the PVP type, both LC transitions, from smectic (Sm) to nematic (N) and from N to isotropic (I) phases, are effectively suppressed. Moreover, a significant difference in the miscibility of different PVPs with the investigated API was found. This phenomenon also affected the solubility of API, which was the greatest, up to 100 μg/mL in the case of starPVP 85:15 w/w mixture in comparison to neat crystalline API (5 μg/mL). Obtained data emphasize the crucial role of the polymer's topology in designing new pharmaceutical formulations.

Abstract
In this paper, the molecular dynamics at different thermodynamic conditions of hydrogen-bonded (H-bonded) active pharmaceutical ingredient-ticagrelor (TICA) have been investigated. Extensive high-pressure (HP) dielectric studies revealed surprising high sensitivity of the structural (α)-relaxation to compression. They also showed that unexpectedly the shape of the α-peak remains invariable at various temperature (T) and pressure (p) conditions at constant α-relaxation time. Further infrared measurements on the ordinary and pressure densified glasses of the examined compound indicated that the hydrogen-bonding pattern in TICA is unchanged by the applied experimental conditions. Such behavior was in contrast to that observed recently for ritonavir (where the organization of hydrogen bonds varied at high p) and explained the lack of changes in the width of α-dispersion with compression. Moreover, HP dielectric measurements performed in the glassy state of TICA revealed the high sensitivity of the slow secondary (β)-relaxation (Johari-Goldstein type) to pressure and fulfillment of the isochronal superpositioning of α- and JG-β-relaxation times. Additionally, it was found that the activation entropy for the β-process, estimated from the Eyring equation (a high positive value at 0.1 MPa) slightly increases with compression. We suggested that the reason for that are probably small conformational variations of TICA molecules at elevated p.

Abstract
In this paper, thermal properties, atomic-scale structure, and molecular dynamics (at ambient and high pressure) of native melatonin (MLT) and its partially-deuterated derivative (MLT-d2) have been investigated. Based on infrared spectroscopy, it was shown that treating MLT with D2O causes the replacement of hydrogen atoms attached to the nitrogen by deuterium. The degree of such substitution was very high (> 99%) and the deuterated sample remained stable after exposure to the air as well as during the melting and vitrification processes. Further calorimetric studies revealed the appearance of a peculiar thermal event before the melting of crystalline MLT-d2, which was assigned by the X-ray diffraction to a local negative thermal expansion of the unit cell. Finally, the high-pressure dielectric experiments indicated a few interesting findings, including the variation in the shape of the structural relaxation peak during compression, the difference in the pressure evolution of the glass transition temperature, and the temperature dependence of activation volume for both MLT species. The variations in these parameters manifest a different impact of the compression/densification on the dynamics of hydrogen and deuterium bonds in the native and partially-deuterated MLT, respectively.

How does pressure affect the molecular dynamics, intramolecular interactions, and the relationship between structural (α) and secondary (JG-β) relaxation above and below the glass transition temperature in binary mixtures of H-bonded API - probucol and acetylated saccharides? Eur J Pharm Sci 2021; 164:105894. [PMID: 34089820 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejps.2021.105894] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2021] [Revised: 05/27/2021] [Accepted: 05/31/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
In this paper, the molecular dynamics as well as inter- and intramolecular interactions in the homogenous solid dispersions (SDs) of active pharmaceutical ingredient - probucol (PRO) with acetylated glucose (acGLU), acetylated sucrose (acSUC), and sucrose acetoisobutyrate (aibSUC), prepared in 5:1 molar ratio, have been investigated using broadband dielectric (BD) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Importantly, high pressure dielectric measurements revealed that as for neat PRO, a breakdown of the isochronal structural (α) and JG-β exact superpositioning, due to increasing separation between both processes under compression, can also be detected in its mixtures with acetylated saccharides (acSACCHs). Furthermore, the analysis of temperature dependences of JG-β-relaxation times for PRO and PRO-acSACCH SDs at selected isobaric conditions indicated the increase in the cooperativity of the secondary process (reflected in the value of the activation entropy, ΔSβ) at elevated pressure in all systems. The mere addition of the small amount of excipient to neat PRO (p = 0.1 MPa) resulted in a greater value of ΔSβ (it was the most noticeable in the case of aibSUC). Further FTIR studies carried out on the pressure densified glasses of PRO, and binary mixtures suggested that the observed changes in the cooperativity of the JG-β-process, as well as the failure of the exact isochronal superpositioning of α- and JG-β relaxation times, are due to varying H-bond pattern in the examined single- and two-component systems at high compression/in the presence of saccharide.
