Influence of solvent selection and RESS processing conditions on formation of a praziquantel-malonic acid cocrystal in supercritical CO2
Praziquantel (PZQ) is an anthelmintic drug with low solubility, therefore cocrystallization and particle size reduction is desirable to improve bioavailability. In this study, a PZQ-malonic acid cocrystal was micronized by rapid expansion of supercritical solution (RESS). Due to low solubility in scCO2, four cosolvents were screened as RESS modifiers. While addition of acetone or THF yielded mixtures of PZQ and its cocrystal, MeOH and EtOH produced pure cocrystal. Impact of pressure (15–30 MPa), temperature (35–55 °C), and cosolvent loading (3–10 volumes) on phase-purity, yield, and particle size were investigated. Adding cosolvent to RESS facilitated dissolution of cocrystal formers in scCO2 and crystallization of the cocrystal with yields up to 68.5 wt% and particle size as low as 600 nm. Results show that for APIs with low solubility in scCO2, cosolvent-modified RESS is a suitable approach for simultaneous crystallization and micronization.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Supercritical Fluids is an international journal devoted to the fundamental and applied aspects of supercritical fluids and processes. Its aim is to provide a focused platform for academic and industrial researchers to report their findings and to have ready access to the advances in this rapidly growing field. Its coverage is multidisciplinary and includes both basic and applied topics.
Thermodynamics and phase equilibria, reaction kinetics and rate processes, thermal and transport properties, and all topics related to processing such as separations (extraction, fractionation, purification, chromatography) nucleation and impregnation are within the scope. Accounts of specific engineering applications such as those encountered in food, fuel, natural products, minerals, pharmaceuticals and polymer industries are included. Topics related to high pressure equipment design, analytical techniques, sensors, and process control methodologies are also within the scope of the journal.
