  1. Release properties of Pharmaceutical tablets studied by FTIR imaging Jaap van der Weerd Imperial College London

  2. Outline -Tablet dissolution -FTIR imaging -Validation, large area imaging -Application for a poorly soluble drug

  3. Water uptake & gel formation Erosion & Diffusion & dissolution dissolution of the tablet of drug (e.g. paracetamol)

  4. Dissolution test Measures amount of drug in solution -simulates 'in vivo' well -easy -worldwide standard But: No info on mechanism Many experiments needed meter tablet

  5. Turning Mirror MCT camera Mid-IR source H2O Step-scan mirror Beamsplitter Fixed mirror Infrared Imaging

  6. - Infrared spectra – chemically very specific 1045 1 1390 1671 0.8 1612 3421 2901 1022 0.6 HPMC Absorbacne 3348 0.4 2777 3144 niacinamide 1617 1057 0.2 1396 1200 3353 1666 3206 wet mixture 0 3500 3000 2500 2000 1500 1000 Wavenumber / cm -1

  7. ATR imaging attenuated total reflectance transmission requires very thin tablets (~10 µm)

  8. Time HPMC Drug Water dry t=0 t=40 t=80 t=160 t=190 Water flow starts

  10. Validation What if there’s a gap between tablet and ATR?

  11. Pressed at 120 cNm Water 0.4 0.2 Tablet 0 3500 3000 2500 2000 1500 1000 Pressed at 80 cNm Water 0.4 Absorbance 0.2 0 Tablet 3500 3000 2500 2000 1500 1000 0.06 Pressed at 10 cNm 0.04 Water 0.02 0 3500 3000 2500 2000 1500 1000 Tablet -1 Wavenumber / cm 1

  12. 2 But what if … water leaks under tablet?

  13. How to evaluate leakage? Water tablet radius Gel Core Time Water 35% HPMC tablet radius Core distance / µm 65% HPMC 120 160 80 40 Time / minutes

  15. In short Leaking does occur in HPMC tablets Next steps Apply multivariate processing Measurements on softer crystal possible! E.g. ZnSe with a FOV of ~ (diamond ~) Fields of view Tablet ZnSe diamond 1 mm2 20 mm2

  16. Analysis on ZnSe crystal t = 0 t = 10 t = 45 t = 136 t = 250 HPMC 1 mm Water Water 1 mm 0 weight fraction 1

  22. Further data-reduction: system has radial symmetry conc. average concentration radius total # of pixels in FOV nop radius

  24. Calculated release profiles 1 .8 .6 .4 pH 4 .2 pH 11 pH 4 / 11 Calculated drug release M(t)/ M 0 1 2 3 4 5 6

  25. Conclusions • Imaging combined with flow-through dissolution test demonstrated • multivariate analysis of a dynamic system and chemometric processing shown • Leaking does not occur for HPMC • Great potential to study poorly soluble drugs (unlike the dissolution test)
