Current perspectives in dissolution testing of conventional and novel dosage forms

This review summarizes the methods used to study real-time (37°C) drug release from nanoparticulate drug delivery systems and establish an IVIVC. Since no compendial standards exist, drug release is currently assessed using a variety of methods including sample and separate (SS), continuous flow (CF), dialysis membrane (DM) methods, and a combination thereof, as well as novel techniques like voltametry and turbidimetry. This review describes the principle of each method along with their advantages and disadvantages, including challenges with set-up and sampling. The SS method allows direct measurement of drug release with simple set-up requirements, but sampling is cumbersome. With the CF method, sampling is straightforward but the set-up is time consuming. Set-up as well as sampling is easier with the DM, but it may not be suitable for drugs that bind to the membrane. Novel methods offer the possibility of real-time drug release measurement but may be restricted to certain types of drugs. Of these methods, Level A IVIVCs have been obtained with dialysis, alone or in combination with the sample and separate technique. Future efforts should focus on developing mathematical models that describe drug release mechanisms as well as facilitate formulation development of nano-sized dosage forms.

A Review of In Vitro Drug Release Test Methods for Nano-Sized Dosage Forms

Introduction: Orodispersible films for oral delivery are gaining popularity. Whereas breath-fresheners and over-the-counter products have already become quite common in the US, the first prescription drug films were introduced into the EU and US markets only very recently. Already considered as a unique Rx (prescription drug) dosage form by the FDA (oral soluble film), such products are not substitutable by conventional oral dosage forms. The official term defined by the European Medicines Agency is orodispersible film (ODF). Areas covered: This review gives an overview on the benefits of ODFs, typical excipients and products already available on the market. ODFs are defined and differentiated from other films and dosage forms. Possible manufacturing methods are described. As ODFs are not yet listed in one of the pharmacopoeias, possible methods for characterization and quality control are discussed. Required characteristics, advantages and disadvantages are elaborated. Biopharmaceutical considerations ar...

Advances in orodispersible films for drug delivery.

This review provides a compilation of the methods used to study real-time (37°C) drug release from parenteral microparticulate drug delivery systems administered via the subcutaneous or intramuscular route. Current methods fall into three broad categories, viz., sample and separate, flow-through cell, and dialysis techniques. The principle of the specific method employed along with the advantages and disadvantages are described. With the “sample and separate” technique, drug-loaded microparticles are introduced into a vessel, and release is monitored over time by analysis of supernatant or drug remaining in the microspheres. In the “flow-through cell” technique, media is continuously circulated through a column containing drug-loaded microparticles followed by analysis of the eluent. The “dialysis” method achieves a physical separation of the drug-loaded microparticles from the release media by use of a membrane, which allows for sampling without interference of the microspheres. With all these methods, the setup and sampling techniques seem to influence in vitro release; the results are discussed in detail, and criteria to aid in selection of a method are stated. Attempts to establish in vitro–in vivo correlation for these injectable dosage forms are also discussed. It would be prudent to have an in vitro test method for microparticles that satisfies compendial and regulatory requirements, is user friendly, robust, and reproducible, and can be used for quality-control purposes at real-time and elevated temperatures.
