Abstrakt: Dissolution testing has long been used to monitor product quality. Its role in quality control of amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) formulations is relatively new. In the presence of the crystalline phase, the dissolution of ASDs is determined by the dynamics between the dissolution rate of the amorphous solids and the rate of crystal growth. The detection of crystalline phase by dissolution test has not been well understood in the context of drug properties, formulation characteristics and dissolution test variables. This study systematically evaluated the impact of key parameters such as intrinsic crystallization tendency of the API, drug loading, extent of dissolution sink conditions and level of crystallinity on the ASD dissolution behavior. The results indicated diverse dissolution behaviors due to the differences in the intrinsic crystallization propensity of the drug, the drug loading, the ASD polymers and the dissolution sink index. Each of the complex dissolution profiles were interpreted based on visual observations during dissolution, the appropriate sink index based on the amorphous solubility, and the competition between drug dissolution versus crystallization. The findings of this study provide insights towards the various considerations that should be taken into account towards rationally developing a discriminatory dissolution method.
