Dissolution and precipitation behavior of ternary solid dispersions of Ezetimibe in biorelevant media : AAPS annual meeting and Exposition2014 USA

• PurposeTo prepare ternary solid dispersions of Ezetimibe (EZ) and investigate their powder dissolution and precipitation behavior(supersaturation) in simulated gastric and intestinal fluidsMethodsTernary solid dispersions of EZ were prepared with PVPK30 and Poloxamer 188 at different ratios. Spray drying and meltquenching methods were used for the preparation of these solid dispersions. The solid dispersions were characterized bybasic to advanced solid-state tools including Modulated differential scanning calorimetry (MDSC), Powder X-ray diffractionand Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy .Biorelevant simulated media (FaSSIF pH 6.5 and FaSSGF pH1.6) were used tostudy the supersaturating solubility of the ternary solid dispersions. HPLC was used to determine the drug concentrationsResultsTernary solid dispersions were successfully prepared by spray drying and melt quench methods. All prepared soliddispersions showed broadening of the XRD peaks indicating amorphous nature. MDSC analysis revealed disappearance ofthe melting peak of Ezetimibe indicating that molecular dispersion of the drug in polymer matrix. The solid dispersions withhigher PVPK30 content showed single Tg at 158.54 °C (spray drying) and 169.32 °C (melt quench). About 10 folds increasein the apparent solubility was observed for solid dispersions prepared by both methods. However, melt quenched soliddispersions had maintained the supersaturation solubility in FaSSIF longer than spray dried solid dispersions. Dissolutionstudies in FaSSGF are ongoingConclusionAmorphous ternary solid dispersions of Ezetimibe containing PVP K30 and Poloxamer 188 could be prepared by spraydrying and melt quenching methods. These solid dispersions showed improved solubility and prolonged supersaturation inbiorelevant media
