Abstract
![]()
In this paper, several
experimental techniques [X-ray diffraction,
differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetry, Fourier
transform infrared spectroscopy, and broad-band dielectric spectroscopy]
have been applied to characterize the structural and thermal properties,
H-bonding pattern, and molecular dynamics of amorphous bosentan (BOS)
obtained by vitrification and cryomilling of the monohydrate crystalline
form of this drug. Samples prepared by these two methods were found
to be similar with regard to their internal structure, H-bonding scheme,
and structural (α) dynamics in the supercooled liquid state.
However, based on the analysis of α-relaxation times (dielectric
measurements) predicted for temperatures below the glass-transition
temperature (Tg), as well as DSC thermograms,
it was concluded that the cryoground sample is more aged (and probably
more physically stable) compared to the vitrified one. Interestingly,
such differences in physical properties turned out to be reflected
in the lower intrinsic dissolution rate of BOS obtained by cryomilling
(in the first 15 min of dissolution test) in comparison to the vitrified
drug. Furthermore, we showed that cryogrinding of the crystalline
BOS monohydrate leads to the formation of a nearly anhydrous amorphous
sample. This finding, different from that reported by Megarry et al.
[Carbohydr. Res.2011, 346, 1061−106421492830] for trehalose (TRE), was revealed on the
basis of infrared and thermal measurements. Finally, two various hypotheses
explaining water removal upon cryomilling have been discussed in the
manuscript.

Abstract
Co-milling of a drug with a co-former is an efficient technique to improve the solubility of drugs. Besides the particle size reduction, the co-milling process induces a structural disorder and the creation of amorphous regions. The extent of drug solubility enhancement is dependent on the proper choice of co-milling co-former. The aim of this work was to compare the effects of different co-formers (meglumine and polyvinylpyrrolidone) on the dissolution rates of glass forming (indomethacin) and non-glass forming (mefenamic acid) model drugs. A positive impact of the co-milling on the dissolution behavior was observed in all co-milled mixtures, even if no substantial amorphization was observed. While meglumine exhibited pronounced effects on the dissolution rate of both drugs, the slightest enhancement was observed in mixtures with polyvinylpyrrolidone. The evaluation of specific release rate revealed the surface activation of drug particle is responsible for improving the dissolution rate of both drug types, but for the glass former, this surface activation could be persistent while maintaining a high dissolution rate even until a high fraction of drug is released. Our results, therefore, indicate that adequate co-former choice and consideration of drug glass forming ability are important for a successful co-milling approach to poorly water-soluble drugs.

Co-Amorphous Formulations of Furosemide with Arginine and P-Glycoprotein Inhibitor Drugs. Pharmaceutics 2021; 13:pharmaceutics13020171. [PMID: 33514009 PMCID: PMC7912042 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics13020171] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2021] [Revised: 01/22/2021] [Accepted: 01/23/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
In this study, the amino acid arginine (ARG) and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibitors verapamil hydrochloride (VER), piperine (PIP) and quercetin (QRT) were used as co-formers for co-amorphous mixtures of a Biopharmaceutics classification system (BCS) class IV drug, furosemide (FUR). FUR mixtures with VER, PIP and QRT were prepared by solvent evaporation, and mixtures with ARG were prepared by spray drying in 1:1 and 1:2 molar ratios. The solid-state properties of the mixtures were characterized with X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) in stability studies under different storage conditions. Simultaneous dissolution/permeation studies were conducted in side-by-side diffusion cells with a PAMPA (parallel artificial membrane permeability assay) membrane as a permeation barrier. It was observed with XRPD that ARG, VER and PIP formed co-amorphous mixtures with FUR at both molar ratios. DSC and FTIR revealed single glass transition values for the mixtures (except for FUR:VER 1:2), with the formation of intermolecular interactions between the components, especially salt formation between FUR and ARG. The co-amorphous mixtures were found to be stable for at least two months under an elevated temperature/humidity, except FUR:ARG 1:2, which was sensitive to humidity. The dissolution/permeation studies showed that only the co-amorphous FUR:ARG mixtures were able to enhance both the dissolution and permeation of FUR. Thus, it is concluded that formulating co-amorphous salts with ARG may be a promising option for poorly soluble/permeable FUR.

Abstract
![]()
The impact of the chain length or
dispersity of polymers in controlling
the crystallization of amorphous active pharmaceutical ingredients
(APIs) has been discussed for a long time. However, because of the
weak control of these parameters in the majority of macromolecules
used in pharmaceutical formulations, the abovementioned topic is poorly
understood. Herein, four acetylated oligosaccharides, maltose (acMAL),
raffinose (acRAF), stachyose (acSTA), and α-cyclodextrin (ac-α-CD)
of growing chain lengths and different topologies (linear vs cyclic), mimicking the growing backbone of the polymer,
were selected to probe the influence of these structural factors on
the crystallization of naproxen (NAP)—an API that does not
vitrify regardless of the cooling rate applied in our experiment.
It was found that in equimolar systems composed of NAP and linear
acetylated oligosaccharides, the progress and activation barrier for
crystallization are dependent on the molecular weight of the excipient
despite the fact that results of Fourier transform infrared studies
indicated that there is no difference in the interaction pattern between
measured samples. On the other hand, complementary dielectric, calorimetric,
and X-ray diffraction data clearly demonstrated that NAP mixed with
ac-α-CD (cyclic saccharide) does not tend to crystallize even
in the system with a much higher content of APIs. To explain this
interesting finding, we have carried out further density functional
theory computations, which revealed that incorporation of NAP into
the cavity of ac-α-CD is hardly possible because this state
is of much higher energy (up to 80 kJ/mol) with respect to the one
where the API is located outside of the saccharide torus. Hence, although
at the moment, it is very difficult to explain the much stronger impact
of the cyclic saccharide on the suppression of crystallization and
enhanced stability of NAP with respect to the linear carbohydrates,
our studies clearly showed that the chain length and the topology
of the excipient play a significant role in controlling the crystallization
of this API.

Abstract
In this paper, we explore the strategy increasingly used to improve the bioavailability of poorly water-soluble crystalline drugs by formulating their amorphous solid dispersions. We focus on the potential application of a low molecular weight excipient octaacetyl-maltose (acMAL) to prepare physically stable amorphous solid dispersions with ibuprofen (IBU) aimed at enhancing water solubility of the drug compared to that of its crystalline counterpart. We thoroughly investigate global and local molecular dynamics, thermal properties, and physical stability of the IBU+acMAL binary systems by using broadband dielectric spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry as well as test their water solubility and dissolution rate. The obtained results are extensively discussed by analyzing several factors considered to affect the physical stability of amorphous systems, including those related to the global mobility, such as plasticization/antiplasticization effects, the activation energy, fragility parameter, and the number of dynamically correlated molecules as well as specific intermolecular interactions like hydrogen bonds, supporting the latter by density functional theory calculations. The observations made for the IBU+acMAL binary systems and drawn recommendations give a better insight into our understanding of molecular mechanisms governing the physical stability of amorphous solid dispersions.

Abstract
In this work, a chemical (and physical) evaluation of cryogenic milling to manufacture amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) is provided to support novel mechanistic insights in the cryomilling process. Cryogenic milling devices are considered as reactors in which both physical transitions (reduction in crystallite size, polymorphic transformations, accumulation of crystallite defects, and partial or complete amorphization) and chemical reactions (chemical decomposition, etc.) can be mechanically triggered. In-depth characterization of active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) (content determination) and polymer (viscosity, molecular weight, dynamic vapor sorption, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, and ANS and thioflavin T staining) chemical decomposition demonstrated APIs to be more prone to chemical degradation in case of presence of a polymer. A significant reduction of the polymer chain length was observed and in case of BSA denaturation/aggregation. Hence, mechanochemical activation process(es) for amorphization and ASD manufacturing cannot be regarded as a mild technique, as generally put forward, and one needs to be aware of chemical degradation of both APIs and polymers.

Does the molecular mobility and flexibility of the saccharide ring affect the glass-forming ability of naproxen in binary mixtures? Eur J Pharm Sci 2020; 141:105091.

Abstract
In this paper, we studied the impact of saccharides having a similar backbone but differing in the degree of freedom, local molecular mobility, flexibility of the ring and intermolecular interactions on the glass-forming ability (GFA) of naproxen (NAP) in binary mixtures. For this purpose, a series of methyl and acetyl derivatives of glucose (GLS) and anhydroglucose (anhGLS), as well as neat anhGLS have been used to produce homogeneous solid dispersions (SDs) of varying molar concentration of examined active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). Systematic measurements with the use of Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopy (BDS) enabled us to determine the phase transitions, homogeneity and molecular mobility of the investigated binary mixtures as well as the impact of excipient on the crystallization tendency of NAP. It turned out that acetylated glucose (acGLS), one of the most mobile and flexible saccharides of all examined herein materials, is the best excipient enhancing the GFA of studied API. Although, it should be noted that upon storage at room temperature, we observed the recrystallization of NAP from binary mixtures. Interestingly, API always crystallized to the initial polymorphic form, as shown by X-ray diffraction (XRD) investigations. Finally, since additional measurements with the use of Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy clearly indicated that there are no significant differences in the intermolecular interactions in the systems composed of NAP and all examined saccharides, one can postulate that the mobility and ring flexibility of the matrix have, , the most important impact on the crystallization tendency of NAP upon cooling. Consequently, it seems that in some cases, more mobile/flexible matrices can be a much better choice to enhance the glass-forming ability of studied pharmaceutical.

Abstract
Spray-drying allows to modify the physicochemical/mechanical properties of particles along with their morphology. In the present study, L-leucine with varying concentrations (0.1, 0.5, 1, 5, and 10% w/v) were incorporated into lactose monohydrate solution for spray-drying to enhance the aerosolization performance of dry powder inhalers containing spray-dried lactose-leucine and salbutamol sulfate. The prepared spray-dried lactose-leucine carriers were analyzed using laser diffraction (particle size), differential scanning calorimetry (thermal behavior), scanning electron microscopy (morphology), powder X-ray diffraction (crystallinity), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (interaction at molecular level), and in vitro aerosolization performance (deposition). The results showed that the efficacy of salbutamol sulfate’s aerosolization performance was, in part, due to the introduction of L-leucine in the carrier, prior to being spray-dried, accounting for an increase in the fine particle fraction (FPF) of salbutamol sulfate from spray-dried lactose-leucine (0.5% leucine) in comparison to all other carriers. It was shown that all of the spray-dried carriers were spherical in their morphology with some agglomerates and contained a mixture of amorphous, α-lactose, and β-lactose. It was also interesting to note that spray-dried lactose-leucine particles were agglomerated during the spray-drying process to make coarse particles (volume mean diameter of 79 to 87 μm) suitable as a carrier in DPI formulations.

Abstract
In this paper, the molecular dynamics and thermal properties of representative acetylated linear and cyclic oligosaccharides: acTRE, acRAF, acSTA, ac-α-CD, ac-β-CD, ac-γ-CD, have been investigated by using broadband dielectric spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. We found that there are marked differences in the dynamics of the structural and secondary relaxation processes in both groups of materials. Just to mention a variation in the distribution of the structural relaxation times as well as different evolutions of the glass transition temperature (Tg) and fragility (m) versus molecular weight (Mw), which seem to be affected by the shape of the molecule, strain in the carbohydrate ring and mobility of side acetyl moieties.

Abstract
Praziquantel (PZQ) is an inexpensive, low toxicity BCS II class anthelmintic drug used for the treatment of neglected tropical diseases. In earlier papers a mechanochemical activation has been used to induce physical transformations on the drug which would ameliorate its solubility and hence its bioavailability and a systematic study of the effects of varying temperature, frequency and time of milling on drug melting enthalpy and drug recovery was given. In this communication, the focus is on the degradation products that are formed during this mechanical treatment of Praziquantel. In the cogrinding process with povidone and crospovidone several degradation products are formed. Different degradation products are formed, which depend on the type of polymer rather than the process conditions. Two of the most prominent degradation products were identified and their structure proposed on the basis of information obtained from GC-MS, UPLC-MS and 1H NMR techniques.

Abstract
Abstract
It is well known that drugs can directly react with excipients. In addition, excipients can be a source of impurities that either directly react with drugs or catalyze their degradation. Thus, binary mixtures of three diuretics, torasemide, furosemide and amiloride with different excipients, i.e. citric acid anhydrous, povidone K25 (PVP), magnesium stearate (Mg stearate), lactose, D-mannitol, glycine, calcium hydrogen phosphate anhydrous (CaHPO4) and starch, were examined to detect interactions. High temperature and humidity or UV/VIS irradiation were applied as stressing conditions. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), FT-IR and NIR were used to adequately collect information. In addition, chemometric assessments of NIR signals with principal component analysis (PCA) and ANOVA were applied.
Between the excipients examined, lactose and starch did not show any interactions while citric acid, PVP, Mg stearate and glycine were peculiarly operative. Some of these interactions were shown without any stress, while others were caused or accelerated by high temperature and humidity, and less by UV/VIS light. Based on these results, potential mechanisms for the observed interactions were proposed Finally, we conclude that selection of appropriate excipients for torasemide, furosemide and amiloride is an important question to minimize their degradation processes, especially when new types of formulations are being manufactured.

Abstract
The presented work describes the formulation and characterization of modified release glassy solid dosage forms (GSDFs) containing an amorphous nifedipine, as a model BCS (Biopharmaceutical Classification System) class II drug. The GSDFs were prepared by melting nifedipine together with octaacetyl sucrose. Dissolution profiles, measured under standard and biorelevant conditions, were compared to those obtained from commercially available formulations containing nifedipine such as modified release (MR) tablets and osmotic release oral system (OROS). The results indicate that the dissolution profiles of the GSDFs with nifedipine are neither affected by the pH of the dissolution media, type and concentration of surfactants, nor by simulated mechanical stress of biorelevant intensity. Furthermore, it was found that the dissolution profiles of the novel dosage forms were similar to the profiles obtained from the nifedipine OROS. The formulation of GSDFs is relatively simple, and the dosage forms were found to have favorable dissolution characteristics.

Abstract
The effect of low molecular weight excipients on drug-excipient interactions, molecular mobility, and propensity to recrystallization of an amorphous active pharmaceutical ingredient is investigated. Two structurally related excipients (α-pentaacetylglucose and β-pentaacetylglucose), five different drug:excipient ratios (1:5, 1:2, 1:1, 2:1, and 5:1, w/w), and three different solid state characterization tools (differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray powder diffraction, and dielectric relaxation spectroscopy) were selected for the present research. Our investigation has shown that the excipient concentration and its molecular structure reveal quasi-identical molecular dynamic behavior of solid dispersions above and below the glass transition temperature. Across to complementary quantum mechanical simulations, we point out a clear indication of a strong interaction between biclotymol and the acetylated saccharides. Moreover, the thermodynamic study on these amorphous solid dispersions highlighted a stabilizing effect of α-pentaacetylglucose regardless of its quantity while an excessive concentration of β-pentaacetylglucose revealed a poor crystallization inhibition. Finally, through long-term stability studies, we also showed the limiting excipient concentration needed to stabilize our amorphous API. Herewith, the developed procedure in this paper appears to be a promising tool for solid-state characterization of complex pharmaceutical formulations.

Abstract
Praziquantel, a BCS II class anthelmintic drug used for the treatment of schistosome infections, was coground in a vibrational mill with different polymers (linear and crosslinked povidone, copovidone and sodium starch glycolate). An explorative analysis of formulation variables (drug-polymer wt ratio and polymer type) and process parameters (type of grinding media, grinding time and frequency) was carried out with the help of an experimental screening design. The influence of the above mentioned factors on three PZQ characteristics (residual crystallinity, water solubility enhancement and drug recovery) was studied. The variation of carrier amount proved to be by far the most important variable affecting all the experimental responses. A lower impact and, in some cases, rather null effect, had the variation of the process variables. All coground systems were characterized by a high amorphous degree and a solubility significantly higher than the API. A very promising product was obtained by processing at 20Hz for 4h, using 3 spheres of 15mm as grinding media, i.e. a coground having a 50% API content, showing a 4.6-fold greater solubility at 20°C than pure praziquantel. This product maintained the same antischistosomal activity of pure API and was both physically and chemically stable for at least 6 months.

Abstract
Dissolution of bicalutamide processed with polyvinylpyrrolidone by either supercritical carbon dioxide or ball milling has been investigated. Various compositions as well as process parameters were used to obtain binary systems of the drug with the carrier. Thermal analysis and powder X-ray diffractometry confirmed amorphization of bicalutamide mechanically activated by ball milling and the decrease in crystallinity of the supercritical carbon dioxide-treated drug. Both methods led to reduction of particles size what was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy and laser diffraction measurements. Moreover, the effect of micronisation was found to depend on the parameters of applied process. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy revealed the appearance of intermolecular interactions between drug and carrier molecules that play an important role in the stabilization of amorphous form of the active compound. Changes in crystal structure combined with reduced size of particles of bicalutamide dispersed within polymer matrix were found to improve dissolution of bicalutamide by 4 to 10-fold in comparison to untreated drug. It is of particular importance as poor dissolution profiles are considered to be the major limitation in bioavailability of the drug.

Abstract
In this study, spray drying from aqueous solutions, using the surface-active agent sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) as a solubilizer, was explored as a production method for co-amorphous simvastatin-lysine (SVS-LYS) at 1:1 molar mixtures, which previously have been observed to form a co-amorphous mixture upon ball milling. In addition, a spray-dried formulation of SVS without LYS was prepared. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) revealed that SLS coated the SVS and SVS-LYS particles upon spray drying. X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) showed that in the spray-dried formulations the remaining crystallinity originated from SLS only. The best dissolution properties and a "spring and parachute" effect were found for SVS spray-dried from a 5% SLS solution without LYS. Despite the presence of at least partially crystalline SLS in the mixtures, all the studied formulations were able to significantly extend the stability of amorphous SVS compared to previous co-amorphous formulations of SVS. The best stability (at least 12 months in dry conditions) was observed when SLS was spray-dried with SVS (and LYS). In conclusion, spray drying of SVS and LYS from aqueous surfactant solutions was able to produce formulations with improved physical stability for amorphous SVS.

Abstract
This work aims at increasing solubility and dissolution rate of ziprasidone free base-Biopharmaceutics Classifaction System (BCS) class II compound. The authors describe a practical approach to amorphization and highlight problems that may occur during the development of formulations containing amorphous ziprasidone, which was obtained by grinding in high-energy planetary ball mills or cryogenic mills. The release of ziprasidone free base from the developed formulations was compared to the reference drug product containing crystalline ziprasidone hydrochloride-Zeldox® hard gelatin capsules. All preparations were investigated using compendial tests (USP apparatuses II and IV) as well as novel, biorelevant dissolution tests. The novel test methods simulate additional elements of mechanical and hydrodynamic stresses, which have an impact on solid oral dosage forms, especially during gastric emptying. This step may prove to be particularly important for many formulations of BCS class II drugs that are often characterized by narrow absorption window, such as ziprasidone. The dissolution rate of the developed ziprasidone free base preparations was found to be comparable or even higher than in the case of the reference formulation containing ziprasidone hydrochloride, whose water solubility is about 400 times higher than its free base.

Abstract
Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopy are combined to trace kinetics of mutarotation in L-fucose. After quenching molten samples down to temperatures between T = 313 K and 328 K, the concentrations of two anomeric species change according to a simple exponential time dependence, as seen by an increase in absorbance of specific IR-vibrations. In contrast, the dielectric spectra reveal a slowing down of the structural (α-) relaxation process according to a stretched exponential time dependence (stretching exponent of 1.5 ± 0.2). The rates of change in the IR absorption for α- and β-fucopyranose are (at T = 313 K) nearly one decade faster than that of the intermolecular interactions as measured by the shift of the α-relaxation. This reflects the fact that the α-relaxation monitors the equilibration at a mesoscopic length scale, resulting from fluctuations in the anomeric composition.

Abstract
Co-amorphous drug mixtures with low-molecular-weight excipients have recently been shown to be a promising approach for stabilization of amorphous drugs and thus to be an alternative to the traditional amorphous solid dispersion approach using polymers. However, the previous studies are limited to a few drugs and amino acids. To facilitate the rational selection of amino acids, the practical importance of the amino acid coming from the biological target site of the drug (and associated intermolecular interactions) needs to be established. In the present study, the formation of co-amorphous systems using cryomilling and combinations of two poorly water-soluble drugs (simvastatin and glibenclamide) with the amino acids aspartic acid, lysine, serine, and threonine was investigated. Solid-state characterization with X-ray powder diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy revealed that the 1:1 molar combinations simvastatin-lysine, glibenclamide-serine, and glibenclamide-threonine and the 1:1:1 molar combination glibenclamide-serine-threonine formed co-amorphous mixtures. These were homogeneous single-phase blends with weak intermolecular interactions in the mixtures. Interestingly, a favorable effect by the excipients on the tautomerism of amorphous glibenclamide in the co-amorphous blends was seen, as the formation of the thermodynamically less stable imidic acid tautomer of glibenclamide was suppressed compared to that of the pure amorphous drug. Furthermore, the co-amorphous mixtures provided a physical stability advantage over the amorphous drugs alone.

Enhancement of the physical stability of amorphous indomethacin by mixing it with octaacetylmaltose. inter and intra molecular studies. Pharm Res 2014; 31:2887-903.

Abstract
PURPOSE To demonstrate a very effective and easy way of stabilization of amorphous indomethacin (IMC) by preparing binary mixtures with octaacetylmaltose (acMAL). In order to understand the origin of increased stability of amorphous system inter- and intramolecular interactions between IMC and acMAL were studied. METHODS The amorphous IMC, acMAL and binary mixtures (IMC-acMAL) with different weight ratios were analyzed by using Dielectric Spectroscopy (DS), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Raman Spectroscopy, X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR). RESULTS Our studies have revealed that indomethacin mixed with acetylated saccharide forms homogeneous mixture. Interestingly, even a small amount of modified maltose prevents from recrystallization of amorphous indomethacin. FTIR measurements and QSAR calculations have shown that octaacetylmaltose significantly affects the concentration of indomethacin dimers. Moreover, with increasing the amount of acMAL in the amorphous solid dispersion molecular interactions between matrix and API become more dominant than IMC-IMC ones. Structural investigations with the use of X-ray diffraction technique have demonstrated that binary mixture of indomethacin with acMAL does not recrystallize upon storage at room temperature for more than 1.5 year. Finally, it was shown that acMAL can be used to improve solubility of IMC. CONCLUSIONS Acetylated derivative of maltose might be very effective agent to improve physical stability of amorphous indomethacin as well as to enhance its solubility. Intermolecular interactions between modified carbohydrate and IMC are likely to be responsible for increased stability effect in the glassy state.
