  1. Young Innovators 2011 Solubility and Dissolution Enhancement by Nanocaging Limin Shi University of Minnesota

  2. Background • Effectively delivery of active pharmaceutical ingredients has become a major challenge to pharmaceutical industry • About 40% of marketed drugs have low solubility • 80 – 90% drug candidates in the R&D pipeline could fail due to solubility problems Situation is becoming more serious N. Babu, A. Nangia. Cryst. Growth. Des. 2011, 2662.

  3. Current solubilization technique • Nanocrystals • Solid dispersion • Amorphous solids • Salt and cocrystal formation • Cosolvent • Complexation (e.g. cyclodextrins) A solubilzation platform

  4. Aims • Developing a universal technology for enhancing the solubility and dissolution rate of poorly soluble drugs without compromising their other performance Nanocaging A patent pending technology

  5. Model Compounds – Proof of Concept • Celecoxib • Indomethacin • Felodipine • Piroxicam • Ibuprofen • Flurbiprofen http://drugbank.ca/

  6. Physical stability • Experimental conditions • 40oC • 75% RH Excellent physical stability

  7. Solubility Enhancement - 1 37oC 169 S. Murdande, M. Pikal, R. Shanker, R. H. Bogner. Pharm. Res. 2010, 27, 2704

  8. Nanocaging Amorphous

  9. Nanocaged IMC IMC Crystalline Dissolution Rate • Tablets (200 MPa) • 10% IMC • Avicel PH101 • Lactose • Croscarmellose Sodium • Magnesum Stearate • Experiments • 37oC • Sink condition • USP type II dissolution apparatus

  10. Nanocaged IMC Avicel PH102 Manufacturability Direct compression formulation

  11. Conclusions • Nanocaging technique can be used to significantly enhance solubility and dissolution rate of poorly water soluble drugs • Bring life to old molecules and new promising drug candidates • Nanocaged drugs have excellent physical stability, good flexibility in drug loading, and superior powder properties • It can serve as an enabling technology for direct compression formulation of poorly soluble drugs
