ABSTRACT
Amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) is an effective approach for enhancing the solubility, dissolution, and bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs. However, these metastable forms can transform into more thermodynamically stable but less soluble crystalline forms. Despite this challenge, research on processing ASDs into solid dosage forms, such as tablets, is lacking. This work aims to fill this gap by investigating the impact of common diluents on the tableting behavior, dissolution, and physical stability of ASDs composed of itraconazole and hypromellose acetate succinate. Four widely used diluents found in commercially available ASD tablets were selected for the study microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), anhydrous lactose, starch, and mannitol. The performance of ASD tablets varied significantly depending on the diluent used. Tablets prepared with MCC exhibited higher mechanical strength than those formulated using other diluents. ASD tablets containing mannitol and lactose revealed a faster release rate than those composed of MCC or starch. Notably, the study highlighted that the physical stability of ASDs within a tablet is not solely dependent on the amount of sorbed water; crystalline diluents like lactose and mannitol were found to facilitate ASD recrystallization within a tablet. In summary, the study underscores the importance of excipient selection, considering factors such as mechanical strength, dissolution rate, and physical stability of ASD tablets. These findings offer valuable insights into the selection of excipients for downstream ASD tablet development, leading to improved manufacturability, physical stability, and the overall quality of ASD drug products.
