Solid dispersions were prepared of itraconazole-Eudragit E100, itraconazole-PVPVA64, and itraconazole-Eudragit E100/PVPVA64 using a corotating twin-screw hot-stage extruder. Modulated temperature differential scanning calorimetry (MTDSC) was used to evaluate the miscibility of the extrudates, and dissolution experiments were performed in simulated gastric fluid without pepsin (SGF(sp)). Itraconazole and Eudragit E100 are miscible up to 13% w/w drug loading. From that concentration on, phase separation is observed. Pharmaceutical performance of this dispersion was satisfactory because 80% of the drug dissolved after 30 min. Extrudates of itraconazole and PVPVA64 were completely miscible but the pharmaceutical performance was low, with 45% of drug dissolved after 3 h. Combination of both polymers in different ratios, with a fixed drug loading of 40% w/w, was evaluated. MTDSC results clearly indicated a two-phase system consisting of itraconazole-Eudragit E100 and itraconazole-PVPVA64 phases. In these extrudates, no free crystalline or glassy clusters of itraconazole were observed; all itraconazole was mixed with one of both polymers. The pharmaceutical performance was tested in SGF(sp) for different polymer ratios, and Eudragit E100/PVPVA64 ratios of 50/50 and 60/40 showed significant increases in dissolution rate and level. Polymer ratios of 70/30 and 80/20, on the other hand, had a release of 85% after 30 min. Precipitation of the drug was never observed. The combination of the two polymers provides a solid dispersion with good dissolution properties and improved physical stability compared with the binary solid dispersions of itraconazole.
Food proteins were phosphorylated by heating in a dry state in the presence of phosphate. When casein, whey protein isolate (WPI), and egg white proteins (EWP), which were lyophilized from their solutions in a phosphate buffer, were dry-heated at various temperatures and pH levels for 1-5 days, EWP was more highly phosphorylated than casein and WPI. Phosphorylation of EWP was promoted with a decrease of pH from 7.0 to 3.0 when the incubation temperature was raised from 55 to 100 degrees C. The phosphorus content of EWP increased from 0.08 to 0.64% by dry-heating at pH 3.0 and 85 degrees C for 5 days in the presence of phosphate. The electrophoretic mobility of EWP increased with an increase in the phosphorylation level. The heat-induced polymerization of EWP by dry-heating was not affected by the presence of phosphate. Although the solubility of EWP decreased by dry-heating at pH 3.0-5.5, the phosphorylation depressed the insolubilization at low pH. The phosphate bonds in phosphorylated EWP (P-EWP) were stable at pH 2.0-10.0 and were more acid-labile and base-stable than phosphoesters of egg riboflavin-binding protein (RfBP). (31)P NMR spectral data suggested that besides phosphoesters, phosphodiester and polyphosphate bonds were introduced in P-EWP. Heat stability of EWP was improved, and calcium phosphate-solubilizing ability of EWP was enhanced by phosphorylation.
We report a new reversed phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) phase with remarkable acid stability using dimethyl(ethylphenylchloromethyl)chlorosilane (1), oligomeric polystyrene (PS), and octylbenzene (C8). This phase Si-1-PS-C8 was prepared using silica modification processes and Friedel-Crafts alkylation chemistry. Under highly aggressive mobile phase conditions, Si-1-PS-C8 exhibited remarkable stability as evinced by only minimal reduction in retention factor (k') after 1400 column volumes at pH = 0.5 and 150 degrees C. The peak shapes for a variety of basic solutes were symmetric using Si-1-PS-C8. Evidence for a highly cross-linked coating of the silica particles was observed using scanning electron microscopy. The remarkable stability of this phase is unparalleled as compared to all other RPLC phases reported to date.
