The aim of the study was the manufacturing and scale-up of theophylline-nicotinamide (THL-NIC) pharmaceutical cocrystals processed by hot-melt extrusion (HME). The barrel temperature profile, feed rate and screw speed were found to be the critical processing parameters with a residence time of approximately 47 s for the scaled-up batches. Physicochemical characterization using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and X-ray diffraction of bulk and extruded materials revealed the formation of high purity cocrystals (98.6%). The quality of THL-NIC remained unchanged under accelerated stability conditions.
该研究的目的是通过热熔挤出(HME)制备并放大茶碱-烟酰胺(THL-NIC)药物共晶体。对于放大批次,料筒温度分布、进料速率和螺杆转速被发现是关键加工参数,停留时间约为47秒。使用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、差示扫描量热法(DSC)以及对块状和挤出材料进行X射线衍射的物理化学表征表明形成了高纯度共晶体(98.6%)。在加速稳定性条件下,THL-NIC的质量保持不变。
