RESUMO

Hydrocortisone is mainly used in the substitution treatment of adrenal insufficiency which results in a dysregulation of cortisol. Compounding of hydrocortisone capsules remains the only low-dose oral treatment suitable for the pediatric population. However, capsules often show non-compliance in mass and content uniformity. Three-dimensional printing offers the prospect of practising personalized medicine for vulnerable patients like children. The goal of this work is to develop low-dose solid oral forms containing hydrocortisone by hot-melt extrusion coupled with fused deposition modeling for the pediatric population. Formulation, design and processes temperatures were optimized to produce printed forms with the desired characteristics. Red mini-waffle shapes containing drug loads of 2, 5 and 8 mg were successfully printed. This new 3D design allow to release more than 80 % of the drug in 45 min indicating a conventional release like the one obtained with capsules. Mass and content uniformity, hardness and friability tests complied with European Pharmacopeia specifications, despite the considerable challenge of the small dimensions of the forms. This study demonstrates that FDM can be used to produce innovative pediatric-friendly printed shapes of an advanced pharmaceutical quality to practice personalize medicine.

RESUMO

Many active principles belong to the second class of the Biopharmaceutics Classification System due to their low aqueous solubility. Elaboration of new solid oral forms by hot-melt extrusion and fused deposition modeling appears as a promising tool to increase the dissolution rate of these drugs. Indeed, hot-melt extrusion allows the amorphisation of drugs and forms with complex geometries are built by 3D printing. Therefore, the goal of this work is to enhance the dissolution rate of poorly soluble drugs using hot-melt extrusion coupled with fused deposition modeling. Four formulations containing Affinisol® 15LV, Kollidon® VA64 and a challenging amount of itraconazole (25 % (wt.)) were successfully printed into forms of 20, 50 and 80 % infill densities. Differential scanning calorimetry analysis has shown that itraconazole remained amorphous during 52 weeks. The drug release rate was highly improved compared to itraconazole in a crystalline form. The dissolution rate was influenced by the infill density and the polymer composition of printed forms which could modify respectively the surface to volume ratio and the distribution of the components in the printed forms. One formulation printed with 20 % infill density even had a solubility profile similar to that of Sporanox®, the commercialized drug product in Belgium.

RESUMO

In recent years, fused deposition modeling has become one of the most used three-dimensional printing technologies in the pharmaceutical field. The production of personalized dosage forms for individualized therapy and the modification of the drug release profile by the elaboration of complex geometries make fused deposition modeling a promising tool for small-scale production. However, fused deposition modeling has a considerable number of challenges to overcome. They are divided into three categories of parameters. Material-specific parameters encompass the physicochemical properties of the filament, like thermal, mechanical and rheological properties. They determine the feasibility of the printing process. Operation-specific parameters relate to the processing conditions of printing, such as printing temperature and infill density, which have an influence on the final quality and on the dissolution behavior of the objects. The printer equipment is defined by the machine-specific parameters. Some modifications of this equipment also enhance the performance of the printing process. The aim of this review is to highlight the major fused deposition modeling critical process parameters in the pharmaceutical field and possible solutions in order to speed up the development of objects in the pharmaceutical market.

RESUMO

Oligonucleotide-based medicines that can modulate gene expression have numerous potential applications in targeted therapies. Most of the commercialized therapeutic oligonucleotides are chemically modified to increase their in vivo lifetime. In this work, we studied poly-deoxy(thymidylic) acids (dT) and modified phosphorothioate oligonucleotides (PS). Several analytical techniques, including ion-pair reverse phase liquid chromatography, are described in the literature to assess their quality but most of them present significant drawbacks. In the present study, dT and PS mixtures were analyzed by hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) and capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) coupled to ultraviolet detection. In HILIC, the selectivities of three types of stationary phases (dihydroxypropane, phosphorylcholine and amide) were compared. Optimal conditions were determined and consisted of an amide stationary phase with a mobile phase made up of water, acetonitrile and 15 mM ammonium acetate (pH 5.5). In those conditions, high resolving power and good repeatability were achieved. In CZE, the effect of the background electrolyte (BGE), its pH and concentration were evaluated. A BGE made up of 300 mM ammonium acetate adjusted to pH 6.0 was selected. Finally, the two techniques were compared in terms of selectivity, repeatability and peak efficiency. In the second part of the study, HILIC and CZE were both coupled to a drift-tube ion-mobility quadrupole time-of-flight MS detector (DTIMS-QTOF) to assess the added value of this coupling for oligonucleotide characterization. Indeed, by using the measured collision cross section (CCS), the evaluation of the number of nucleotides was performed. Looking across the results, HILIC and CZE coupled to DTIMS-QTOF can be considered as promising tools for the quality control of oligonucleotides.
