Itraconazole (ITZ), a broad-spectrum triazole antifungal agent, exhibits remarkable pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic properties. However, the low solubility of ITZ significantly reduces its oral bioavailability. Furthermore, it has been reported that this medication can result in dose-related adverse effects. Therefore, the objective of this study was to enhance the solubility of ITZ through the utilization of various polymers and to manufacture personalized and programmable release ITZ tablets. Five different polymers were selected as water-soluble carriers. Thirty percent / ITZ was mixed with seventy percent / of the polymers, which were then extruded. A series of physical and chemical characterization studies were conducted, including DSC, PXRD, PLM, and in vitro drug release studies. The results demonstrated that ITZ was dispersed within the polymers, forming ASDs that markedly enhanced its solubility and dissolution rate. Consequently, soluplus was employed as the polymer for the extrusion of ITZ-loaded filaments, which were subsequently designed and printed. The in vitro drug release studies indicated that the release of ITZ could be regulated by modifying the 3D structure design. Overall, this study found that the combination of HME and 3D printing technologies could represent an optimal approach for the development of personalized and precise drug delivery dosages.
伊曲康唑(ITZ)是一种广谱三唑类抗真菌药物,具有显著的药效学和药代动力学特性。然而,ITZ的低溶解度显著降低了其口服生物利用度。此外,有报道称这种药物会导致剂量相关的不良反应。因此,本研究的目的是通过使用各种聚合物来提高ITZ的溶解度,并制造个性化和可编程释放的ITZ片剂。选择了五种不同的聚合物作为水溶性载体。将30%的ITZ与70%的聚合物混合,然后进行挤出。进行了一系列物理和化学表征研究,包括差示扫描量热法(DSC)、粉末X射线衍射(PXRD)、偏光显微镜(PLM)和体外药物释放研究。结果表明,ITZ分散在聚合物中,形成了无定形固体分散体(ASDs),显著提高了其溶解度和溶解速率。因此,采用尤特奇(Soluplus)作为聚合物来挤出载有ITZ的长丝,随后对其进行设计和打印。体外药物释放研究表明,通过修改三维结构设计可以调节ITZ的释放。总体而言,本研究发现热熔挤出(HME)和3D打印技术的结合可能是开发个性化和精确给药剂量的最佳方法。
