Definitions
- the Biopharmaceutical Classification System is a critical tool for understanding and predicting the bioavailability of drugs (API). It classifies compounds into four categories (Class 1, 2, 3, and 4) based on their solubility and permeability profiles, which are key factors in determining how well a drug is absorbed in the body after oral administration.
- BCS Class 1 drugs have high solubility and high permeability, hence are typically well absorbed and have predictable bioavailability.
- BCS Class 2 drugs with low solubility but high permeability are often absorbed well when they are dissolved, but their poor solubility in aqueous environments, like the gastrointestinal tract, limits their bioavailability.
- BCS Class 3 drugs with high solubility but low permeability can dissolve well in the body but face difficulties in crossing the biological membranes to reach systemic circulation.
- BCS Class 4 drugs have both low solubility and low permeability, thus are the most challenging in terms of bioavailability since they struggle both to dissolve in the gastrointestinal tract and to permeate cell membranes.
- Solubilized systems aim to increase the solubility of poorly soluble drugs by formulating with surfactants, cyclodextrins, or other solubilizers that can help dissolve the drug into a more bioavailable form.
- surfactants cyclodextrins
- solubilizers that can help dissolve the drug into a more bioavailable form.
- These systems are typically employed in soft gelatin capsules or liquid formulations, as they can facilitate the drug's dissolution before it reaches the gastrointestinal tract, thus improving absorption.
- other factors such as drug stability, enzymatic degradation, and gastrointestinal motility, can still impede the drug’s effectiveness.
- Solubilised systems in the form of selfemulsifying drug delivery systems have also been proposed, which are defined as isotropic mixtures of one or more hydrophilic solvents, cosolvents and surfactants that are capable of forming fine oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions upon mild agitation and dilution in gastrointestinal fluids; various types of emulsions or suspensions.
- SEDDS selfemulsifying drug delivery systems
- Lipid-Lock technologies involve incorporating the drug into a lipid -based formulation, typically in soft-gel capsules. This encapsulation in lipids protects API from the harsh environment of the gastrointestinal tract and facilitates its absorption via the lymphatic system or lipid digestion pathways. While lipid-lock technology can enhance absorption for some drugs, it has limitations as well.
- US4690823A discloses an ibuprofen-containing soft gelatin capsule containing a solution of ibuprofen wherein ibuprofen is dissolved in a polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene polymer or in a mixture of a polyalkylene glycol and a surfactant at a temperature of from 45 °C to 65 °C and will remain in solution upon cooling to room temperature.

- the existing formulations are based on drug solubilization, which increases absorption while decreasing gastrointestinal tract (GIT) side effects, gastrointestinal tract (GIT) side effects were reduced but not eliminated completely.
- GIT gastrointestinal tract
- the bioavailability may still be affected by factors such as drug crystallization, degradation of the drug in the digestive tract, or insufficient digestion of the lipids, which can impair absorption.

- EXAMPLE 8 ANALYSIS OF THE FORMULATIONS (Eg. 1 to 73)
- the prepared formulations were tested for their stability under five different conditions of temperature and pH: i) At room temperature (RT): The freshly prepared formulations kept at RT were evaluated. ii) Simulated gastric condition: The formulations were contacted with 0.1N HC1, simulating a gastric pH for a time period of up to 6h. iii) Simulated gastrointestinal tract condition: The formulations were contacted with buffers having a pH of 6.2 and 7.4 for a time period of up to 6h. iv) Accelerated conditions as per ICH guidelines'. The formulations were exposed to a temperature of 40°C and 75% relative humidity for a time period of up to 6 months. v) Long term stability as per ICH guidelines'. The formulations were exposed to a temperature of 30°C and 75% relative humidity for a time period of up to 24 months.
- the stability of the formulations was assessed by evaluating both the particle size distribution and the polydispersity index (PDI) under five different conditions. These two factors are commonly used to gauge the stability of particlebased formulations, especially in the context of dispersions or emulsions containing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
- PDI polydispersity index
- Particle Size Distribution The distribution of particle sizes within a formulation is crucial for understanding its physical stability. If the particle sizes remained consistent over time, it indicated that the formulation is stable, as there was no significant aggregation or growth of particles. In this study, the particle size distribution of the formulation remained unaltered across the five conditions, suggesting that the formulation was stable under those conditions. A stable particle size distribution means that the formulation is less likely to undergo changes such as particle coalescence or precipitation, which could negatively affect the API's performance or delivery.
- Poly dispersity Index (PDI): The PDI is a measure of the width of the particle size distribution and is a critical indicator of homogeneity. A PDI value ranges from 0 to 1, where a lower PDI indicated a more uniform particle size distribution, and a higher PDI indicated a broader range of particle sizes. A PDI value approaching zero suggested that the particles were more monodisperse (uniform in size), which was desirable for maintaining formulation stability. In this study, as the PDI value stayed closer to zero, it indicated that the particle size of the formulation remained consistent over time. This consistency in particle size is important because it suggested that the particles were not aggregating, which would otherwise lead to a shift in particle size distribution. The PDI can be determined using instruments that use Dynamic Light Scattering or photon correlation spectroscopy or determined through electron microscopy.
- a key implication of maintaining a constant particle size distribution and a low PDI is that the formulation is likely free from crystallization. Crystallization of the API would lead to the growth of larger particles, which could change the overall particle size distribution and disrupt the formulation. In the context of pharmaceutical formulations, crystallization of the API reduced bioavailability or compromised the stability and effectiveness of the drug. The fact that the particle size remained constant and the PDI remained low under the tested conditions strongly suggested that the API did not undergo crystallization, further confirming the enhanced stability of the formulation.
- formulations exposed to the condition (i) to (iv), were subjected to physical observations under microscope to check for drug crystallization if any and depicted in Figures 1 to 6 and 8 to 22.
- the formulations were hydrated with appropriate amount of purified water, for particle size testing, for Transmission Electron Microscopic analysis and the formulation as such was used for assay test and other chemical testing.
- the entrapment efficiency of the loaded API was calculated for each formulation.
- the pro-dispersion formulation PDF was first diluted with 0.22pm filtered deionized water to create a particulate dispersion (PD), which was then used to evaluate drug entrapment efficiency.
- PD particulate dispersion
- TFF Tangential Flow Filtration
- the diluted dispersion was passed through the TFF capsule, and a fixed volume of filtrate was collected, while the remaining retentate was separated. This process was repeated if necessary, and the pooled samples were collected.
- Both the filtrate and retentate were analyzed using HPLC (with a validated fit-for-purpose method) to determine the amounts of entrapped and un-entrapped drug, and a mass balance was calculated to confirm the method's validity.
- the retentate contained the entrapped drug within the carrier particles, while the free drug remained in the filtrate. Additionally, a total-drug assay of the formulation was conducted using a validated HPLC method. The entrapment efficiency of the particulate dispersion was then calculated using a specific formula.
- the assay percentage for each formulation referred to the measurement of the actual amount of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) present in a formulation compared to the theoretical or expected amount. It is an important quality control test that helped to determine the content uniformity, potency, and consistency of the drug formulation. To evaluate the assay percentage validated HPLC method for the specific drug was used.
