| Popis: | The aim of this study was to investigate if molecular interactions between the weak base cinnarizine and lipolysis products were affecting the morphology of precipitated drug formed during in vitro lipolysis. In vitro lipolysis studies of a self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system with or without cinnarizine were conducted. The digestion phases (aqueous phase and pellet phase) were separated by ultracentrifugation, and the pellet was isolated and lyophilized. The lyophilized pellets were examined by X-ray powder diffraction, (13)C solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance ((13)C NMR), (1)H liquid-state NMR ((1)H NMR) spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The (13)C NMR data indicated that the carbonyl groups and aliphatic part of the lipids undergo structural changes when the pellet contains cinnarizine. The (1)H NMR data suggests interactions occurring around the nitrogens on cinnarizine and the carboxylic group of fatty acids. DSC thermograms showed cinnarizine to be homogeneously incorporated into the lipids of the pellet, and no free amorphous cinnarizine was present. The three techniques (13)C NMR, (1)H NMR, and DSC complement each other and suggest interactions to occur between fatty acids and cinnarizine, which in turn favors amorphous precipitation. |
