  11. Compatibility tests Drug : Excipient ratio The preformulation screening of drug-excipient interaction requires (1 : 1) Drug:excipient ratio, to maximize the likehood of observing an interaction. ??? Some researchers recommend ratios of : 1:5 for diluents 3:1 for binder & disintegrants 5:1 for lubricant 10:1 for colourant

  15. Compatibility tests Methods Chromatography TLC HPLC Advantages : Evidence of degradation Spots or peaks isolation. Quantification to obtain Kinetic data. Changes in the chromatograph such as appearance of NEW SPOT or Peak or change in Rf values or Rt means significant interaction.

  16. Compatibility tests Methods Thermal Analysis Isothermal microcalorimetry Differential scanning calorimetry Thermogravimetric analysis Calorimetry is the science of heat. It is about how a given material responds to temperature changes on both the atomic and macroscopic level. It reveals important information about the arrangement and interaction of the atoms.

  17. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) Is a thermoanalytical technique in which the difference in the amount of heat required to increase the temperature of a sample and reference is measured as a function of temperature. For solid state

  18. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) Applications It detects physical transformation such as melting, dehydration or crystallization Cross - Linking Crystallisation (Cure) > exothermic - Glass Transition Heat Flow Melting Temperature

  19. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) Applications It detects physical transformation such as melting, dehydration or crystallization Phase equilibrium diagrams of enantiomers Compatibility of drug with excepients

  22. Heat conduction microcalorimetry • Isothermal heat conduction microcalorimetry is an analytical method allowing determination of minute amounts of evolved or absorbed heat. • The sensitivity is 10 000-fold higher than the sensitivity of conventional differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). • By microcalorimetry heat flow signals in the range of µW are detectable. • The rate of heat flow is proportional to the rate of the process taking place.

  26. Heat conduction microcalorimetry Applications Heat conduction microcalorimetry detects chemical changes. BUT it gives no direct information about the chemical nature of the reaction For liquid and solid state

  28. Thermogravimetric analysis • Measures the amount and rate of change in the weight of a material as a function of temperature or time in a controlled atmosphere. • Measurements are used primarily to determine the composition of materials and to predict their thermal stability at temperatures up to 1000°C. • The technique can characterize materials that exhibit weight loss or gain due to decomposition, oxidation or dehydration.   For solid state

  29. Compatibility tests Methods Non-thermal Analysis X-ray diffraction FT-IR Spectroscopy

  30. FT-IR Spectroscopy • Is the absorption measurement of different IR frequencies by a sample positioned in the path of an IR beam. • Different functional groups absorb characteristic frequencies of IR radiation. • The main goal of IR spectroscopic analysis is to determine the chemical functional groups in the sample.

  31. FT-IR Spectroscopy

  32. FT-IR Spectroscopy Common Applications • Identification of compounds by matching spectrum of unknown compound with reference spectrum (fingerprinting) • Identification of functional groups in unknown substances. • Identification of reaction components and kinetic studies of reactions • Detection of molecular impurities or additives present in small amounts . • Analysis of formulations such as insecticides and copolymers

  33. FT-IR Spectroscopy Detects chemical interations For liquid and solid state K. A.Mohammed, H. K. Ibrahim, M. M. Ghorab, Drug Deliv, 2014.

  34. X-ray diffraction • X-rays interact with crystalline substances to give a diffraction pattern. • The X-ray diffraction pattern of a pure substance is like a fingerprint of the substance. • In a mixture of substances, each produces its pattern independently of the others. • The powder diffraction method is thus ideally suited for characterization and identification of polycrystalline phases.

  39. Emulsion compatibility Preformulation is very formulation oriented: -Surfactant selection -Calculation of surfactant amount -Measuring CMC -Calculating the required HLB -pH stability profile of the surfactant in presence of other emulsion components

  40. Emulsion compatibility Micro/nanoemulsion

  41. Gel compatibility Preformulation is very formulation oriented: -Polymer selection -Drug stability in the gel

  42. Preformulation studies → expected outcomes • The product will: • Meet specifications (assay, impurities & dissolution rate) • Be consistent within & between batches. • Is palatable to the patient. • Have optimum chemical & physical stability. • Fewer formulations fail stability & BA studies • Have cost effective manufacture.
