Investigation of Solid Dosage Form Components Interaction Using Orthogonal Techniques- Discovery of New Forms of Sodium Stearyl Fumarate

Physical or chemical interactions between drug product (DP) components can occur during manufacturing and/or upon storage; and may alter DP shelf life and performance. In this work a new Powder X-ray Diffraction (PXRD) peak was observed in DP under accelerated storage conditions. Due to the complex drug product matrix (including API, polymer, fillers, super disintegrant and lubricant), it was challenging to pinpoint the component(s) responsible for the new peak. In addition to PXRD, other orthogonal techniques including Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), dynamic vapor sorption (DVS), Solid State Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (SSNMR) and Infrared (IR) spectroscopy were employed in this investigation to understand the root cause mechanistically. Specifically, multi nuclei SSNMR (¹H, ²³Na, ¹³C) was instrumental in delineating the components of the matrix. We identified the root cause to be an acid base reaction occurring in the DP, whereby sodium ion in sodium stearyl fumarate (SSF) is replaced by proton leading to SSF form conversion. We also identified commercially available SSF to be a hydrate that can dehydrate to an anhydrous form upon heating. In general, the same techniques can be used to investigate interactions of any multi component solid dosage forms.

Selection of Optimal Hydrate/Solvate Forms of a Fibrinogen Receptor Antagonist for Solid Dosage Development

ABSTRACT

The objective of this work was to compare the physicochemical properties of four crystalline forms of the fibrinogen receptor antagonist L-738,167 [2(S)-[p-toluenesulfonyl amino]-3-[[[5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4-oxo-5-[2-(piperidin-4-yl)ethyl]-4-H-pyrazolo[1,5-a][1,4]diazepin-2-yl]carbonyl]amino]-propionic acid] to determine the best form for use in the development of oral dosage formulations. Four crystalline forms [form A (trihydrate), form B (pentahydrate), form C, and form D] were compared using x-ray powder diffractometry, thermal analysis, and moisture sorption studies. The trihydrate, form A, was demonstrated to hydrate upon exposure to relative humidity (RH) above 50% at room temperature (25°C) with conversion to the pentahydrate. The pentahydrate, form B, converted to the trihydrate at room temperature when exposed to humidity levels below 25% RH. The crystalline pentahydrate was shown to be stable to dehydration upon storage at 30°C/60% RH and 40°C/75% RH for 3 months. The suspension of form A or form D in water resulted in conversion to form B, the stable hydrated form in an aqueous environment. Form C has a unique crystalline structure that is stable in an aqueous environment and not subject to hydration/dehydration with changes in relative humidity and thus may offer some advantages in pharmaceutical development.
