Abstract
A co-amorphous model drug was prepared by the spray-drying (SD) of probucol (PC) and atorvastatin calcium trihydrate salt (ATO) as low water solubility and co-former components, respectively. The physicochemical properties of the prepared samples were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) analysis, thermal analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and dissolution tests. Stability tests were also conducted under a stress environment of 40 °C and 75% relative humidity. The results of PXRD measurements and thermal analysis suggested that PC and ATO form a co-amorphous system by SD. Thermal analysis also indicated an endothermic peak that followed an exotherm in amorphous PC and a physical mixture (PM) of amorphous PC and ATO; however, no endothermic peak was detected in the co-amorphous system. The dissolution profiles for PC in the co-amorphous sample composed of PC and ATO were improved compared to those for raw PC crystals or the PM. Stability tests indicated that the co-amorphous material formed by PC and ATO can be stored for 35 d without crystallization, whereas amorphous PC became crystallized within a day. Therefore, co-amorphization of PC and ATO prepared by SD is considered to be a useful method to improve the solubility of PC in water.
通过喷雾干燥法(SD)制备了一种共晶模型药物,其成分分别为低水溶性的丙磺舒(PC)和阿托伐他汀钙三水合物(ATO)。通过粉末 X 射线衍射(PXRD)分析、热分析、傅立叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)和溶解试验对制备样品的理化性质进行了表征。此外,还在 40 °C 和 75% 相对湿度的应力环境下进行了稳定性测试。PXRD 测量和热分析结果表明,PC 和 ATO 通过 SD 形成了共晶体系。热分析还表明,在非晶态 PC 和非晶态 PC 与 ATO 的物理混合物(PM)中,放热后出现了一个内热峰;但在共晶体系中没有检测到内热峰。与未加工的 PC 晶体或 PM 相比,由 PC 和 ATO 组成的共晶样品中 PC 的溶解曲线有所改善。稳定性测试表明,PC 和 ATO 形成的共晶材料可存放 35 天而不结晶,而无定形 PC 在一天内就会结晶。因此,用 SD 法制备的 PC 和 ATO 共晶被认为是提高 PC 水溶性的有效方法。
