RESUMO
This study evaluated the specific interactions between drug and polymers in amorphous spray dried dispersions (SDDs). Four Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) II class drugs were evaluated. Binary and ternary SDDs were manufactured with conventional polymers and arabinogalactan. Specific interaction parameters between drug and polymer were determined using theoretical calculations and DSC data. Analytical methods were used to evaluate solid and solution state interactions. Maximum amorphous content for each formulation was calculated using DSC. Flory-Huggins Specific Interaction Parameters were calculated. Negative specific parameters were associated with solid-state interactions and improved capacity of drug in the amorphous state. Ternary SDDs containing drug, polymer, and arabinogalactan displayed similar hydrogen bonding as was observed with binary SDDs. Solution-state interactions observed in binary systems may be used in tertiary systems to improve the amorphous drug capacity and improved dissolution compared to the binary. The resultant tertiary systems are an improvement over binary drug polymer systems.
Este estudio evaluó las interacciones específicas entre el fármaco y los polímeros en dispersiones amorfas secadas por pulverización (SDD). Se evaluaron cuatro fármacos de clase II del Sistema de Clasificación Biofarmacéutica (BCS). Los SDD binarios y ternarios se fabricaron con polímeros convencionales y arabinogalactano. Los parámetros de interacción específicos entre el fármaco y el polímero se determinaron utilizando cálculos teóricos y datos de DSC. Se utilizaron métodos analíticos para evaluar las interacciones del estado sólido y de la solución. El contenido amorfo máximo para cada formulación se calculó usando DSC. Se calcularon los parámetros de interacción específicos de Flory-Huggins. Los parámetros específicos negativos se asociaron con interacciones en estado sólido y una capacidad mejorada del fármaco en el estado amorfo. Los SDD ternarios que contienen fármaco, polímero y arabinogalactano mostraron enlaces de hidrógeno similares a los observados con los SDD binarios. Las interacciones de estado de solución observadas en sistemas binarios pueden usarse en sistemas terciarios para mejorar la capacidad del fármaco amorfo y mejorar la disolución en comparación con el binario. Los sistemas terciarios resultantes son una mejora con respecto a los sistemas de polímeros de fármacos binarios.

Daidzein (DZ) is a polyphenolic compound belonging to Biopharmaceutical Classification System class IV, which shows that it may have limited therapeutic effects due to its low solubility and poor bioavailability. This study aimed to obtain high-purity DZ and prepare and characterize different types of solid dispersions (SDs) in order to enhance aqueous solubility and bioavailability. Excipients were investigated in order to manufacture different types of solid dispersions (SDs). Second-generation solid dispersions (SG), third-generation solid dispersions (TG), and second- and third-generation pH-modulated solid dispersions (SD and TG pHM-SD) were produced via spray drying. The SDs were characterized and tested for in vitro DZ release and oral bioavailability. SDs have shown increased aqueous solubility and in vitro release rate. Solid-state characterization showed that DZ was in an amorphous state in most of the formulations. The enhanced aqueous solubility of TG-pHM SD was reflected by an increase in oral bioavailability, which significantly increased the maximum plasma concentration approximately 20-fold and decreased the time to reach the maximum plasma concentration. The production of pHM SDs that contain DZ via spray drying is a simple and effective approach for oral drug delivery, which has the potential to greatly reduce the dose and enhance therapeutics effects.
RESUMO
Novel complexes consisting of Eudragit E100-risedronate are presented. The oral bioavailability of risedronate in rats was determined through its percentage excreted in urine after administration of complexed or free risedronate in fed and fasted conditions. The evaluation of the risedronate gastro-duodenal irritation potential was carried out by macroscopic and histological analyses in an experimental rat model. The degree of counterionic condensation between Eudragit E100 and risedronate was assessed by dialysis with, mechanistic information about the interaction with calcium and the release of risedronate from the complexes being obtained using physiological solution and simulated gastric fluid without pepsin. Non-significant differences were observed in the urinary excretion of risedronate when the complex or free risedronate was administered to fasted rats. However, the urinary excretion of risedronate in the complex group was 4-times higher than in the free risedronate group when animals were concomitantly administered with food. This behavior was related to the high degree of counterionic condensation in the complex (86.5%), which led to a reduction in the calcium induced rate and magnitude of risedronate precipitation and resulted in a decrease in the gastroduodenal damage from the complex, as evidenced by a lower frequency of gastric mucosae hemorrhage. A sustained release of risedronate from the complex was observed toward water, simulated gastric fluid or physiological solution, through an ionic-exchange mechanism. In conclusion, complexation with Eudragit E100 could be a useful strategy to overcome the unfavorable properties of risedronate.
