This study presents a novel approach by utilizing poly(vinylpyrrolidone)s (PVPs) with various topologies as potential matrices for the liquid crystalline (LC) active pharmaceutical ingredient itraconazole (ITZ). We examined amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) composed of ITZ and () self-synthesized linear PVP, () self-synthesized star-shaped PVP, and () commercial linear PVP K30. Differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, and broad-band dielectric spectroscopy were employed to get a comprehensive insight into the thermal and structural properties, as well as global and local molecular dynamics of ITZ-PVP systems. The primary objective was to assess the influence of PVPs' topology and the composition of ASD on the LC ordering, changes in the temperature of transitions between mesophases, the rate of their restoration, and finally the solubility of ITZ in the prepared ASDs. Our research clearly showed that regardless of the PVP type, both LC transitions, from smectic (Sm) to nematic (N) and from N to isotropic (I) phases, are effectively suppressed. Moreover, a significant difference in the miscibility of different PVPs with the investigated API was found. This phenomenon also affected the solubility of API, which was the greatest, up to 100 μg/mL in the case of PVP 85:15 mixture in comparison to neat crystalline API (5 μg/mL). Obtained data emphasize the crucial role of the polymer's topology in designing new pharmaceutical formulations.
本研究提出了一种新方法,利用具有各种拓扑结构的聚(N-乙烯基吡咯烷酮)(PVP)作为液体晶体(LC)活性药物成分伊曲康唑(ITZ)的潜在基质。我们研究了由 ITZ 和()自制线性 PVP、()自制星型 PVP 和()商业线性 PVP K30 组成的无定形固体分散体(ASD)。采用差示扫描量热法、X 射线衍射和宽带介电光谱法全面了解 ITZ-PVP 系统的热和结构特性以及整体和局部分子动力学。主要目的是评估 PVP 的拓扑结构和 ASD 的组成对 LC 有序性、中间相之间转变温度的变化、其恢复速率以及最终 ITZ 在制备的 ASD 中的溶解度的影响。我们的研究清楚地表明,无论 PVP 类型如何,从向列(N)相到各向同性(I)相的 Smectic(Sm)相和从 N 相到 I 相的 LC 转变都得到了有效抑制。此外,还发现不同 PVP 与研究 API 的混溶性存在显著差异。这种现象也影响了 API 的溶解度,与纯晶 API(5 μg/mL)相比,在 PVP 85:15 混合物的情况下,API 的溶解度最高可达 100 μg/mL。获得的数据强调了聚合物拓扑结构在设计新药物制剂中的关键作用。
