The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of novel polymer/lipid formulations on the dissolution rates of the water insoluble indomethacin (INM), co-processed by hot melt extrusion (HME). Formulations consisted of the hydrophilic hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose polymer (HPMCAS) and stearoyl macrogol-32 glycerides-Gelucire 50/13 (GLC) were processed with a twin screw extruder to produce solid dispersions. The extrudates characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and hot stage microscopy (HSM) indicated the presence of amorphous INM within the polymer/lipid matrices. In-line monitoring via near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy revealed significant peak shifts indicating possible interactions and H-bonding formation between the drug and the polymer/lipid carriers. Furthermore, in vitro dissolution studies showed a synergistic effect of the polymer/lipid carrier with 2-h lag time in acidic media followed by enhanced INM dissolution rates at pH > 5.5.
本研究的目的是研究新型聚合物/脂质制剂对通过热熔挤出(HME)共处理的水不溶性吲哚美辛(INM)溶解速率的影响。制剂由亲水性羟丙基甲基纤维素聚合物(HPMCAS)和硬脂酰聚乙二醇-32甘油酯-Gelucire 50/13(GLC)组成,用双螺杆挤出机加工以制备固体分散体。通过X射线粉末衍射(XRPD)、差示扫描量热法(DSC)和热台显微镜(HSM)表征的挤出物表明在聚合物/脂质基质中存在无定形INM。通过近红外(NIR)光谱进行的在线监测显示出明显的峰位移,表明药物与聚合物/脂质载体之间可能存在相互作用和氢键形成。此外,体外溶出度研究表明,聚合物/脂质载体具有协同作用,在酸性介质中有2小时的滞后时间,随后在pH>5.5时INM的溶解速率提高。
