This study systematically evaluates the influence of pump material, clearance tolerance, and flow-path architecture on subvisible and visible particle generation using a model IgG formulation. Controlled simulations compared peristaltic pumping with ceramic and stainless-steel rotary piston pumps under standstill and recirculation conditions, including a configuration incorporating a three-way valve and deliberate metal particulate spiking. Subvisible particle analysis revealed that particulate generation was dominated by surface-mediated mechanisms: stainless-steel components, tighter (5 µm) pump clearances, and increased flow-path complexity produced the highest particle levels, while ceramic RPPs with moderate clearance generated substantially fewer particulates and avoided pump seizure. Visible particles were observed only in the stainless-steel RPP system containing the three-way valve and metal spiking. Orthogonal characterization (FTIR, Raman, SEM-EDX) confirmed that particulates were primarily proteinaceous and frequently contained embedded metallic inclusions, in the deliberate particulate challenge configuration, consistent with heterogeneous nucleation at high-energy interfaces In contrast, DSC, DSF, MM-IR, DLS-derived kD, and wNMR analyses demonstrated unchanged thermal stability, secondary structure, and protein-protein interaction behavior across all conditions, with no measurable changes in bulk stability metrics across conditions. Mechanistically, the standstill-restart design and orthogonal particle characterization support a surface-mediated pathway in which proteins accumulate at high-energy interfaces during static holds and are subsequently detached under flow, with metal inclusions providing heterogeneous nucleation sites, while bulk IgG stability remains unchanged across conditions. The data support process-development strategies that underscore pump material of contact evaluations, avoid overly tight clearances, reduce recirculation, and simplify valve geometry. This mechanistic-informed framework provides practical guidance for designing robust, patient-centric fill-finish processes aligned with quality-by-design principles. While the study uses a single model IgG1, the observed surface-mediated trends align with broader literature on adsorption-induced particle formation at solid-liquid interfaces.</p>","PeriodicalId":16741,"journal":{"name":"Journal of pharmaceutical sciences","volume":" ","pages":"104309"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147816443","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

OCT provided high-resolution, time resolved visualization of structural transformations within the dissolving extrudates, while UV-vis spectroscopy quantified active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) release kinetics. Results revealed a multiphase dissolution mechanism involving sequential surface film formation, polymer swelling, delamination, and erosion. Increasing drug loading (10-30% w/w) produced marked effects on dissolution behaviour: formulations above 14% exhibited delayed release onset, extended swelling phases, and reduced overall release efficiency. OCT data showed that drug loadings above 14% led to slower erosion rates, greater swelling, and prolonged structural integrity, correlating with delayed UV-vis release profiles. Image processing using a machine learning segmentation model enabled quantitative extraction of sample cross-sectional area, confirming load-dependent swelling and erosion dynamics. Together, these findings establish a mechanistic link between structural evolution and release kinetics in HME ASDs and demonstrate the capability of OCT to provide real-time, non-destructive insight into solid dosage form dissolution.
