Spatially resolved polymer mobilization revisited - Three-dimensional, UltraShort Echo Time (3D UTE) magnetic resonance imaging of sodium alginate matrix tablets. J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 649:626-634. [PMID: 37364462 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2023.06.139] [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: 03/20/2023] [Revised: 05/24/2023] [Accepted: 06/19/2023] [Indexed: 06/28/2023]
Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Three-dimensional 1H UltraShort Echo Time magnetic resonance imaging (1H 3D UTE MRI) of the matrix tablet made of hydrophilic polymer hydrated in heavy water (D2O) will allow investigation of the hydration-induced spatiotemporal evolution of the material originally included in the matrix tablet during manufacturing (i.e., polymer chains and bound water). EXPERIMENTS The oblong-shaped sodium alginate matrix tablets were used to verify the hypothesis. The matrix was measured before and during hydration in D2O for up to 2 h using the 1H 3D UTE MRI. Five echo times (first at 20 μs) were used, resulting in five three-dimensional images (one image for each echo time). In chosen cross-sections, two parametric images, i.e., amplitude and T2* relaxation time maps, were calculated using "pixel-by-pixel" mono-exponential fitting. FINDINGS The regions of the alginate matrix with T2* shorter than 600 μs were analyzed before (air-dry matrix) and during hydration (parametric, spatiotemporal analysis). During the study, only hydrogen nuclei (protons) pre-existing in the air-dry sample (polymer and bound water) were monitored because the hydration medium (D2O) was not visible. As a result, it was found that morphological changes in regions having T2* shorter than 300 μs were the effect of fast initial water ingress into the core of the matrix and subsequent polymer mobilization (early hydration providing additional 5% w/w hydration medium content relating to air-dry matrix). In particular, evolving layers in T2* maps were detected, and a fracture network was formed shortly after the matrix immersion in D2O. The current study presented a coherent picture of polymer mobilization accompanied by local polymer density decrease. We concluded, that the T2* mapping using 3D UTE MRI can effectively be applied as a polymer mobilization marker.

Low-field time-domain NMR relaxometry for studying polymer hydration and mobilization in sodium alginate matrix tablets. Carbohydr Polym 2023; 299:120215. [PMID: 36876817 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2022.120215] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2022] [Revised: 09/26/2022] [Accepted: 10/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022]
Abstract
Sodium alginate is used in various industries, including food, pharmaceutical, and agriculture. Matrix systems, e.g., tablets, and granules, are macro samples with incorporated active substances. During hydration, they are neither equilibrated nor homogenous. Phenomena occurring during hydration of such systems are complex, determine their functional properties and hence require multimodal analysis. Still, there's a lack of comprehensive view. The study aimed to obtain unique characteristics of the sodium alginate matrix during hydration, particularly considering polymer mobilization phenomena using low-field time-domain NMR relaxometry in H2O and D2O. An increase in total signal during 4 h of hydration in D2O of ca. 30 μV resulted from polymer/water mobilization. Modes in T1-T2 maps and changes in their amplitudes reflected physicochemical state of the polymer/water system: e.g. air-dry polymer mode (T1/T2 ~ 600) and two mobilized polymer/water modes (at T1/T2 ~ 40 and T1/T2 ~ 20). The study describes the approach to evaluating the hydration of the sodium alginate matrix in terms of the temporal evolution of proton pools: those existing in the matrix before hydration and those entering the matrix from the bulk water. It provides data complementary to spatially resolved methods like MRI and microCT.

Abstract
Solid-state NMR has been increasingly recognized as a high-resolution and versatile spectroscopic tool to characterize drug substances and products. However, the analysis of pharmaceutical materials is often carried out at natural isotopic abundance and a relatively low drug loading in multi-component systems and therefore suffers from challenges of low sensitivity. The fact that fluorinated therapeutics are well represented in pipeline drugs and commercial products offers an excellent opportunity to utilize fluorine as a molecular probe for pharmaceutical analysis. We aim to review recent advancements of 19F magic angle spinning NMR methods in modern drug research and development. Applications to polymorph screening at the micromolar level, structural elucidation, and investigation of molecular interactions at the Ångström to submicron resolution in drug delivery, stability, and quality will be discussed.

Abstract
This study demonstrates the applicability of terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) in evaluating the solid-state of the drug in selective laser sintering-based 3D printed dosage forms. Selective laser sintering is a powder bed-based 3D printing platform, which has recently demonstrated applicability in manufacturing amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) through a layer-by-layer fusion process. When formulating ASDs, it is critical to confirm the final solid state of the drug as residual crystallinity can alter the performance of the formulation. Moreover, SLS 3D printing does not involve the mixing of the components during the process, which can lead to partially amorphous systems causing reproducibility and storage stability problems along with possibilities of unwanted polymorphism. In this study, a previously investigated SLS 3D printed ASD was characterized using THz-TDS and compared with traditionally used solid-state characterization techniques, including differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and powder X-ray diffractometry (pXRD). THz-TDS provided deeper insights into the solid state of the dosage forms and their properties. Moreover, THz-TDS was able to detect residual crystallinity in granules prepared using twin-screw granulation for the 3D printing process, which was undetectable by the DSC and XRD. THz-TDS can prove to be a useful tool in gaining deeper insights into the solid-state properties and further aid in predicting the stability of amorphous solid dispersions.

Abstract
Transformations of the low-energy vibrational spectra are associated with structural changes in an analyte and closely related to the instability of weak chemical bounds. Terahertz (THz)/far-infrared optical spectroscopy is commonly used to probe such transformation, aimed at characterization of the underlying solid-phase chemical reactions in organic compounds. However, such studies usually provide quite qualitative information about the temperature- and time-dependent parameters of absorption peaks in dielectric spectra of an analyte. In this paper, an approach for quantitative analyses of the solid-phased chemical reactions based on the THz pulsed spectroscopy was developed. It involves studying an evolution of the sample optical properties, as a function of the analyte temperature and reaction time, and relies on the classical oscillator model, the sum rule, and the Arrhenius theory. The method allows one to determine the temperature-dependent reaction rate V1(T) and activation energy Ea. To demonstrate the practical utility of this method, it was applied to study α-lactose monohydrate during its temperature-induced molecular decomposition. Analysis of the measured THz spectra revealed the increase of the reaction rate in the range of V1 ≃ ~9 × 10-4-10-2 min-1, when the analyte temperature rises from 313 to 393 K, while the Arrhenius activation energy is Ea ≃ ~45.4 kJ/mol. Thanks to a large number of obtained physical and chemical parameters, the developed approach expands capabilities of THz spectroscopy in chemical physics, analytical chemistry, and pharmaceutical industry.

Abstract
This article describes the designing of matrix tablets composed of polyethylene oxides (PEOs) with relative molecular masses of 1 × 106, 2 × 106, and 4 × 106. Percolation thresholds were determined for all of the selected PEO formulations (18, 16, and 12 %, m/m), taking into consideration excipients and tablet surface area which significantly increased the percolation threshold. Moreover, the robustness of the gel layer in PEO matrix tablets was evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging under various mechanical stresses (no flow, 12 mL min-1, and 64 mL-1 of medium flow). Correlations between the percolation threshold and gel thickness (R2 = 0.86), gel thickness and the erosion coefficient (R2 = 0.96) was detected. Furthermore, small-angle X-ray scattering of the selected PEOs detected differences in polymer molecular complexity at the nanoscale. Finally, the ratio of the heat of coalescence to the heat of fusion has confirmed the PEO molecular mass-dependent percolation threshold.

Abstract
Crystallization tendencies, thermal analysis [i.e. glass transition temperature (Tg)], crystallinity, and melting point depression, along with theoretical calculations such as solubility parameter, of five different drugs [i.e. curcumin (CUR), indomethacin (IND), flutamide (FLU), dipyridamole (DIP), and griseofulvin (GRI)] in the absence and presence of four different polymers in various drug-polymer ratios were determined and analyzed. Physical states of the drug in the solid dispersions (SDs) and their stability were characterized by X-ray diffraction and modulated differential scanning calorimetry. Infrared (IR) and Raman were used in selected systems (i.e. CUR, DIP, and GRI systems) to explore the role of drug-polymer interactions in the amorphization of SDs. The crystallization tendencies of pure drugs were categorized as low (CUR, IND), moderate (FLU), and high (DIP, GRI). In the presence of selected polymers, the crystallization tendency of the drugs changed, though a high polymer concentration was required for high crystallization-tendency drugs [i.e. DIP and GRI (>50% w/w)]. Polymers showing a greater effect on the crystallization tendency of drugs were found to have higher drug-polymer miscibility and stronger molecular interactions. Drug-polymer systems selected from the investigation of physical mixtures formed stable amorphous solid dispersions (ASD). Furthermore, the rank order of the crystallization tendency of drug-polymer systems correlated well with those on miscibility and molecular interactions. Those rank orders also correlated well with the stability of prepared/reported SDs. Hence, the developed approach has significant potential to be a rational screening method for the development of amorphous SDs.

Abstract
Solid dispersion is a widely used method to improve the dissolution and oral bioavailability of water-insoluble drugs. However, due to the strong hydrophobicity, the drug crystallization in the release media after drug dissolution and the resulted decreased drug absorption retards the use of solid dispersions. It is widely known that the amphiphilic copolymer can encapsulate the hydrophobic compounds and help form stable nano-dispersions in water. Inspired by this, we tried to formulate the solid dispersion of nimodipine by using amphipathic copolymer as one of the carriers. Concerning the solid dispersions, there are many important points involved in these formulations, such as the miscibility between the drug and the carriers, the storage stability of solid dispersions, the dissolution enhancement and so on. In this study, a systemic method is proposed. In details, the supersaturation test and the glass transition temperature (Tg) measurement to predict the crystallization inhibition, the ratios of different components and the storage stability, the interactions among the components were investigated in detail by nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) and, the final dissolution and oral bioavailability enhancement. It was found that the amphiphilic copolymer used in the solid dispersion encouraged the formation the drug loading micelles in the release media and, finally, the problem of drug crystallization in the dissolution process was successfully solved.

Abstract
To improve the physicochemical properties of valnemulin (VLM), different solid forms formed by VLM and organic acids, including tartaric acid (TAR), fumaric acid (FUM), and oxalic acid (OXA), were successfully prepared and characterized by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The excess enthalpy Hex between VLM and other organic acids was calculated by COSMOthermX software and was used to evaluate the probability of forming multi-component solids between VLM and organic acids. By thermal analysis, it was confirmed that multi-component solid forms of VLM were thermodynamically more stable than VLM itself. Through dynamic vapor sorption (DVS) experiments, it was found that three multi-component solid forms of VLM had lower hygroscopicity than VLM itself. Furthermore, the intrinsic dissolution rate of VLM and its multi-component forms was determined in one kind of acidic aqueous medium by using UV-vis spectrometry. It was found that the three multi-component solid forms of VLM dissolved faster than VLM itself.

Abstract
Current analytical techniques for characterizing solid-state pharmaceuticals include powder x-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, electron microscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance. Powder x-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry are mainstream techniques but they lack spatial resolution. Scanning electron microscopy and micro-Raman spectroscopy provide good chemical and optical characterization but they are not capable of analysing very small nanoparticles. Transmission electron microscopy and nano-thermal analysis can provide explicit characterization of nanoparticles but they are invasive. Nuclear magnetic resonance offers good spatial resolution but its use is mainly limited by poor sensitivity and high costs. In view of the many challenges posed by existing methods, new and novel techniques are being continually researched and developed to cater to the growing number of solid formulations in the pipeline and in the market. Some of the recent advances attained in the solid-state analysis of pharmaceutical are summarized in this review article.

Abstract
The development of topical anti-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) microbicides may provide women with strategies to protect themselves against sexual HIV transmission. Pericoital drug delivery systems intended for use immediately before sex, such as microbicide gels, must deliver high drug doses for maximal effectiveness. The goal of achieving a high antiretroviral dose is complicated by the need to simultaneously retain the dose and quickly release drug compounds into the tissue. For drugs with limited solubility in vaginal gels, increasing the gel volume to increase the dose can result in leakage. While solid dosage forms like films and tablets increase retention, they often require more than 15 min to fully dissolve, potentially increasing the risk of inducing epithelial abrasions during sex. Here, we demonstrate that water-soluble electrospun fibers, with their high surface area-to-volume ratio and ability to disperse antiretrovirals, can serve as an alternative solid dosage form for microbicides requiring both high drug loading and rapid hydration. We formulated maraviroc at up to 28 wt% into electrospun solid dispersions made from either polyvinylpyrrolidone or poly(ethylene oxide) nanofibers or microfibers and investigated the role of drug loading, distribution, and crystallinity in determining drug release rates into aqueous media. We show here that water-soluble electrospun materials can rapidly release maraviroc upon contact with moisture and that drug delivery is faster (less than 6 min under sink conditions) when maraviroc is electrospun in polyvinylpyrrolidone fibers containing an excipient wetting agent. These materials offer an alternative dosage form to current pericoital microbicides.

Abstract
A new technique has been developed using NMR chemical shift imaging (CSI) to monitor water penetration and molecular transport in initially dry polymer tablets that also contain small low-molecular weight compounds to be released from the tablets. Concentration profiles of components contained in the swelling tablets could be extracted via the intensities and chemical shift changes of peaks corresponding to protons of the components. The studied tablets contained hydrophobically modified poly(acrylic acid) (HMPAA) as the polymer component and griseofulvin and ethanol as hydrophobic and hydrophilic, respectively, low-molecular weight model compounds. The water solubility of HMPAA could be altered by titration with NaOH. In the pure acid form, HMPAA tablets only underwent a finite swelling until the maximum water content of the polymer-rich phase, as confirmed by independent phase studies, had been reached. By contrast, after partial neutralization with NaOH, the polyacid became fully miscible with water. The solubility of the polymer affected the water penetration, the polymer release, and the releases of both ethanol and griseofulvin. The detailed NMR CSI concentration profiles obtained highlighted the clear differences in the disintegration/dissolution/release behavior for the two types of tablet and provided insights into their molecular origin. The study illustrates the potential of the NMR CSI technique to give information of importance for the development of pharmaceutical tablets and, more broadly, for the general understanding of any operation that involves the immersion and ultimate disintegration of a dry polymer matrix in a solvent.
