Kir F, Al-Sulaiti FK, Sahin S. Evaluation of in vitro dissolution profiles of modified-release metoprolol succinate tablets crushed using mortar and pestle technique. Eur J Pharm Sci 2024; 194:106694. [PMID: 38191064 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejps.2024.106694] [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: 05/19/2023] [Revised: 12/24/2023] [Accepted: 01/04/2024] [Indexed: 01/10/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE Clinical practice guidelines advise against crushing modified-release dosage forms. Metoprolol succinate modified-release (MS-MR) tablets are commonly crushed in clinical practice to facilitate administration to patients with swallowing difficulties or using feeding tubes. To date, the effect of this practice remains unexplored. The in vitro effects of crushing commercially available MS-MR tablets were explored using a holistic approach. METHODS Dissolution profiles of crushed versus whole MS-MR tablets were compared. Tablets were crushed to powder state using pragmatic method mimicking hospital practices. For standardization purposes, the same operator, duration (60 seconds), hand, and mortar-pestle apparatus were used. Dissolution studies were conducted per U.S. Pharmacopeia at pH 1.2, pH 4.5, and pH 6.8 with USP apparatus 2 (paddle) at rotation speed of 50 rpm at 37±0.5 °C in 500 mL dissolution media. Samples were withdrawn at predetermined time points. Percent drug dissolved was measured by validated UV-vis Spectrophotometry. Comprehensive analysis of the dissolution data was conducted using model-independent, model-dependent, and ANOVA-based approaches (SPSS v.23 at α=0.05). Similarity (f2) and difference (f1) factors were calculated to compare the dissolution profiles between crushed (CT) and whole tablets (WT). Goodness of fit (GOF) analysis examined the compliance between in vitro dissolution behaviors and several drug release models. Model selection was based on GOF plots, Akaike criteria and adjusted coefficient of determination (R2adj). Imaging and particle size distribution analysis were conducted to examine associated surface and morphologic changes. RESULTS The dissolution profiles were not similar at pH 4.5 (f2=45.43, f1=18.97) and pH 6.8 (f2=31.47, f1=32.94). CT best fitted with Higuchi (pH 1.2: R2adj=0.9990), Weibull (pH 4.5: R2adj=0.9884), and Korsmeyer-Peppas (pH 6.8: R2adj=0.9719). Contrastingly, WT best fitted with Hopfenberg (pH 1.2: R2adj=0.9986), logistic (pH 4.5: R2adj=0.9839) and first-order (pH 6.8: R2adj=0.9979) models. A significant difference in the dissolution profiles was found between CT and WT using multivariate analysis of variance per time points and between the tablet forms (p=0.004). This was confirmed by unparalleled dissolution profiles. Crushing resulted in variations in particle size and surface morphological changes to the micropellets. CONCLUSION Crushing practices change the dissolution profile of MS-MR tablets by deforming the surface morphology of embedded micropellets. Amounts of drug dissolved between CT and WT were not the same at the compared time points across gastrointestinal pH ranges. This suggests potential clinical impact on plasma-concentration profiles of critically ill patients using feeding tube.

Dissolution Profiles Comparison Using Conventional and Bias Corrected and Accelerated f2 Bootstrap Approaches with Different Software's: Impact of Variability, Sample Size and Number of Bootstraps. AAPS PharmSciTech 2023; 25:5. [PMID: 38117372 DOI: 10.1208/s12249-023-02710-9] [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: 10/08/2023] [Accepted: 11/27/2023] [Indexed: 12/21/2023] Open
Abstract
Dissolution profiles comparison is an important element in order to support biowaivers, scale-up and post approval changes and site transfers. Highly variable dissolution can possess significant challenges for comparison and f2 bootstrap approach can be utilized in such cases. However, availability of different types of f2 and confidence intervals (CI) methods indicates necessity to understand each type of calculation thoroughly. Among all approaches, bias corrected and accelerated (BCa) can be an attractive choice as it corrects the bias and skewness of the distribution. In this manuscript, we have performed comparison of highly variable dissolution data using various software's by adopting percentile and BCa CI approaches. Diverse data with different variability's, number of samples and bootstraps were evaluated with JMP, DDSolver, R-software, SAS and PhEq. While all software's yielded similar observed f2 values, differences in lower percentile CI was observed. BCa with R-software and JMP provided superior lower percentile as compared to other computations. Expected f2 recommended by EMA has resulted as stringent criteria as compared to estimated f2. No impact of number of bootstraps on similarity analysis was observed whereas number of samples increased chance of acceptance. Variability has impacted similarity outcome with estimated f2 but chance of acceptance enhanced with BCa approach. Further, freely available R-software can be of attractive choice due to computation of various types of f2, percentile and BCa intervals. Overall, this work can enable regulatory submissions to enhance probability of similarity through appropriate selection of number of samples, technique based on variability of dissolution data.

Ruan J, Liao S, Tang J, Fang L. Evaluation of Dose-Response Relationship of Permeation Enhancer Isopropyl Myristate Release on Drug Release: Release Enhancement Efficiency and Molecular Mechanism. AAPS PharmSciTech 2023; 25:1. [PMID: 38114839 DOI: 10.1208/s12249-023-02713-6] [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: 09/20/2023] [Accepted: 11/19/2023] [Indexed: 12/21/2023] Open
Abstract
The objective of this study is to investigate the dose-response relationship between various concentrations of permeation enhancers (PEs) and their ability to enhance drug release from a polymer matrix, utilizing an innovative parameter known as release enhancement efficiency (K). Additionally, the molecular mechanism underlying dynamic enhancement was also examined. Isopropyl myristate (IPM) was used as model enhancer and zolmitriptan (ZOL) was used as model drug to investigate dose-effect relationship in pressure sensitive adhesives (PSA). The release behavior of the PEs was determined by LC-MS/MS and verified by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). The enhancing effect of the PE on ZOL release was evaluated through in vitro release experiments and further validated by pharmacokinetics study. And the molecular mechanism was characterized with thermal analysis (DSC), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and molecular dynamics simulation. K was 0.156, 0.286 and 0.279 at 3%, 6% and 9% IPM concentrations, indicating that the enhancement efficiency reached the maximum when the 6% IPM was applied. According to the mechanism research results, the fluidity of PSA increased linearly with the increase of IPM concentrations, but the interaction between IPM and ZOL reached its strongest point at 6%. In summary, the increase of K value (from 0 to 6% IPM content) was caused by the synergy of increased mobility of PSA and interaction (dipole-dipole and hydrogen-bond) among three components, and when the above two actions were in antagonistic, K no longer increased (6-9% IPM content).

Using residence time distribution in pharmaceutical solid dose manufacturing - A critical review. Int J Pharm 2021; 610:121248. [PMID: 34748808 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2021.121248] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2021] [Revised: 10/04/2021] [Accepted: 10/27/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
While continuous manufacturing (CM) of pharmaceutical solid-based drug products has been shown to be advantageous for improving the product quality and process efficiency in alignment with FDA's support of the quality-by-design paradigm (Lee, 2015; Ierapetritou et al., 2016; Plumb, 2005; Schaber, 2011), it is critical to enable full utilization of CM technology for robust production and commercialization (Schaber, 2011; Byrn, 2015). To do so, an important prerequisite is to obtain a detailed understanding of overall process characteristics to develop cost-effective and accurate predictive models for unit operations and process flowsheets. These models are utilized to predict product quality and maintain desired manufacturing efficiency (Ierapetritou et al., 2016). Residence time distribution (RTD) has been a widely used tool to characterize the extent of mixing in pharmaceutical unit operations (Vanhoorne, 2020; Rogers and Ierapetritou, 2015; Teżyk et al., 2015) and manufacturing lines and develop computationally cheap predictive models. These models developed using RTD have been demonstrated to be crucial for various flowsheet applications (Kruisz, 2017; Martinetz, 2018; Tian, 2021). Though extensively used in the literature (Gao et al., 2012), the implementation, execution, evaluation, and assessment of RTD studies has not been standardized by regulatory agencies and can thus lead to ambiguity regarding their accurate implementation. To address this issue and subsequently prevent unforeseen errors in RTD implementation, the presented article aims to aid in developing standardized guidelines through a detailed review and critical discussion of RTD studies in the pharmaceutical manufacturing literature. The review article is divided into two main sections - 1) determination of RTD including different steps for RTD evaluation including experimental approach, data acquisition and pre-treatment, RTD modeling, and RTD metrics and, 2) applications of RTD for solid dose manufacturing. Critical considerations, pertaining to the limitations of RTDs for solid dose manufacturing, are also examined along with a perspective discussion of future avenues of improvement.

Probing Differences in Mass-Transfer Coefficients in Beaker and Stirrer Digestion Systems and the USP Dissolution Apparatus 2 Using Benzoic Acid Tablets. Processes (Basel) 2021. [DOI: 10.3390/pr9122168] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Measurements of external mass-transfer coefficients for dissolution have been made with benzoic acid tablets with a diameter of 13 mm and approximately 3 mm thick, using two different dissolution systems. One system has been a beaker with a platform for the tablet and either 80 mL or 120 mL of water, with three different types of stirrers, and the other has been a USP dissolution apparatus 2 (paddle) with either 200 mL or 900 mL water. Various stirring speeds have also been used in the different pieces of equipment. The same mass-transfer coefficient may potentially be obtained from the same tablet by adjusting the operating conditions in the two different devices. The ranges of the external mass-transfer coefficients measured in both devices overlapped significantly, with the range being 0.193–4.48 × 10−5 m s−1 in the beaker and stirrer system and 0.222–3.45 × 10−5 m s−1 in the USP dissolution apparatus 2. Dimensional analysis of the results, using Sherwood and Reynolds numbers, shows that the Ranz–Marshall correlation provides a lower bound for estimates of the Sherwood numbers measured experimentally. Calculations of time constants for mass transfer suggest that mass transfer may be a rate-limiting step for dissolution and food digestion under some circumstances. The range of mass-transfer coefficients measured here is representative of other measurements from the literature, and the use of the Ranz–Marshall correlation supports the suggestion that this range of values should be generally expected in most situations.

Abstract
A drug dissolution profile is one of the most critical dosage form characteristics with immediate and controlled drug release. Comparing the dissolution profiles of different pharmaceutical products plays a key role before starting the bioequivalence or stability studies. General recommendations for dissolution profile comparison are mentioned by the EMA and FDA guidelines. However, neither the EMA nor the FDA provides unambiguous instructions for comparing the dissolution curves, except for calculating the similarity factor f2. In agreement with the EMA and FDA strategy for comparing the dissolution profiles, this manuscript provides an overview of suitable statistical methods (CI derivation for f2 based on bootstrap, CI derivation for the difference between reference and test samples, Mahalanobis distance, model-dependent approach and maximum deviation method), their procedures and limitations. However, usage of statistical approaches for the above-described methods can be met with difficulties, especially when combined with the requirement of practice for robust and straightforward techniques for data evaluation. Therefore, the bootstrap to derive the CI for f2 or CI derivation for the difference between reference and test samples was selected as the method of choice.

Abstract
The study was aimed to improve the aqueous solubility of atorvastatin (AT) and ameliorate permeability of metformin (MT) in a combination formulation, improving their oral bioavailability. Several AT-MT loaded polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and hyaluronic acid (HA) based nanoparticles were prepared through electrospraying method (ES-NPs), and tested for physicochemical, in vitro, and in vivo parameters. Among the trialed formulations, a sample consisting of AT, MT, PVP, and HA at the weight ratio of 1/6.25/3.75/15 furnished the most satisfying solubility and release rate results. It enhanced approximately 10.3-fold and 3.6-fold solubility of AT as compared with AT powder and marketed product (Lipilow) in phosphate buffer pH = 6.8, respectively. Whereas, permeation of MT was 1.60-fold and 1.47-fold improved as compared with MT powder and marketed product (Glucophage), respectively. As compared with Lipilow, AUC (0-∞) and Cmax of AT with ES-NPs in rats were improved to 3.6-fold and 3.2-fold, respectively. Similarly, as compared with Glucophage, AUC (0-∞) and Cmax of MT were improved to 2.3-fold and 1.8-fold, respectively. Thus, ES-NPs significantly enhanced the solubility of AT (a BCS class II drug) and permeability of MT (a BCS class III drug) and might be a promising drug delivery system for co-delivery of these drugs.

In Vitro Comparative Quality Assessment of Different Brands of Doxycycline Hyclate Finished Dosage Forms: Capsule and Tablet in Jimma Town, South-West Ethiopia. Adv Pharmacol Pharm Sci 2021; 2021:6645876. [PMID: 33629067 PMCID: PMC7889385 DOI: 10.1155/2021/6645876] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2020] [Accepted: 02/02/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Persistent postmarket quality evaluation helps produce clear information on the current quality status of the different brands of a given drug and hence introduces a biopharmaceutical and therapeutically equivalent list of the products to the prescribers and users of it. This in turn facilitates access to essential medicines by breaking the high-cost barrier imposed by a few expensive brands of the product. This study was aimed at determining the quality and evaluating the equivalence of doxycycline hyclate capsules and tablets in Jimma, Ethiopia. Methods Ten brands of doxycycline hyclate capsules and tablets were tested for product identity, dosage uniformity, assay, and in vitro dissolution; and tablets were tested for friability and hardness. Results All investigated brands of doxycycline complied with the USP for dosage uniformity, an assay of the active ingredient, and single-point dissolution tests. One brand, D09, failed both hardness and friability tests. Comparisons of dissolution profiles applying fit factors confirmed that only brands D04, D06, and D07 had similarities with the innovator. Ratio test approaches also showed that significant variability exists between test products and comparators. Weibull model was found to provide the best adjustment curve for all brands, from model-dependent approaches employed for explaining the overall release of drug from the dosage forms. Conclusions Doxycycline is a biowaiver product. Hence, in vitro dissolution evaluation suffices its market approval. In this quality assessment study, however, the samples passed quality control tests, except D09 brand which failed friability; it has been revealed that five out of eight brands had problems with interchangeability. Only three doxycycline hyclate brands were found to be equivalent to the comparators.

Abstract
In this paper, we propose a stochastic gamma process model for assessing the similarity of two dissolution profiles. Based on the proposed stochastic model, we utilize the difference factor and similarity factor to test the similarity of two dissolution profiles based on bootstrap confidence intervals. The performances of the proposed methods are compared with a multivariate test procedure via Monte Carlo simulation studies. The proposed testing methods are shown to be powerful and effectively controlling the error rate. The proposed model provides a simple yet useful alternative parametric statistical model for assessing the similarity of two dissolution profiles. All the methods are illustrated with a numerical example.
