Zusammenfassung
Much contemporary research of poorly water-soluble drugs focuses on amorphous solid dispersions (SDs) for oral drug delivery. Recently, a multifractal formalism has been introduced to describe the distribution of an inorganic carrier in SDs. The present work attempts to directly image model drugs by means of scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The compounds amlodipine, felodipine, glyburide, and indomethacine, which include halogens to enable sufficient scattering in energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, were employed to prepare SDs with hydroxypropyl methylcellulose acetate succinate (HPMCAS) by using a microwave method. Following chemical imaging, it was demonstrated that drug distribution was best described by multifractals, which was clearly superior to a monofractal assumption. The obtained fractal dimensions were influenced by drug loading and it was possible to detect microstructural changes upon addition of the plasticizer urea. Accordingly, the multifractal approach bears much potential to better explore the analytical results of chemical formulation imaging. Insights can be gained from the microstructural organization of SDs, which is interesting to further study formulation and process factors as well as physical stability.
