To establish an analytical method for determination of the content and dissolution of aprepitant, prepare aprepitant solid dispersion by three different preparation methods (hot-melt extrusion, solvent-melt method and spray drying method), and investigate the effects of different processes on the physical stability of the solid dispersions.
The effects of different preparation processes on the stability of aprepitant solid dispersions were measured in terms of water content, moisture attraction, residual microcrystals, aprepitant content, related impurities, and in vitro release.
Among the three different processes, the aprepitant solid dispersion prepared by hot-melt extrusion had low water content, poor moisture attraction, drug in amorphous form, good in vitro dissolution behavior, able to dissolve and release in acid solution, resistant to crystallization and precipitation behavior due to pH change and maintained high supersaturation after transit to the intestine.
Hot-melt extrusion is the optimal preparation method for solid dispersions composed of crystallization inhibitor HPMCAS and dissolution enhancer PVP K30.
