Abstract

Hot melt extrusion and spray drying are two commonly applied processes in several industries [1]. Within this study, the applicability in the pharmaceutical area is investigated regarding the operating conditions.

Description

TThe poor solubility of a large amount of new developed drugs is a major challenge in pharmaceutical applications. One approach to overcome this challenge is the manufacturing of so called amorphous solid dispersion (ASD), where the drug is molecularly dispersed into an amorphous carrier. Even though this strategy is known for years, only a small number of market products containing this kind of formulation is available, caused by challenges in manufacturing [1].

Within this work, the two most commonly used manufacturing techniques are compared. A special focus is on the selection of an optimized operating point, so that the manufacturing can take place as efficient as possible.

This work is a cooperation of INVITE GmbH and TU Dortmund within the frame of the consortium DDIC.
