Definitions

  • the present invention relates to microparticles of drugs, especially drugs that are poorly soluble in water, and to methods for making them.
  • a water-soluble prodrug of a poorly water-soluble drug is made [1-4].
  • the prodrug approach is limited to those molecules that have functionality amenable to facile removal in the body to form the drug. Not all poorly water-soluble drugs are so endowed.
  • the prodrug would likely be considered a new chemical entity and require separate approval from regulatory agencies, adding considerable time and cost to bringing the product to market.
  • Lyophilization is usually limited to materials that are soluble in water in any event, although there have been some efforts at using organic solvents.
  • Lyophilization has the advantage of allowing the solvent to be removed whilst keeping the solute relatively immobile, thereby suppressing enlargement of clusters or aggregates.
  • the formed crystals are smaller or the material is amorphous, reflecting the separation of the molecules in the frozen solution state.
  • Molecular separation can be improved and aggregate formation still further suppressed by lyophilizing a more dilute solution, although one pays a hefty price in energy requirements for removing more solvent.
  • Lyophilization is usually a very slow, energy intensive process and usually requires high vacuum equipment.
  • the crystals formed to aggregate in the free state undoing the job that the freeze drying did. This tendency can sometimes be overcome with additives, but these must be compatible with the entire system.
  • Amorphous or nanoparticulate materials tend to show poor bulk flow properties as powders, requiring formulation work to be able to fill them into capsules. While these problems are not insurmountable, they add further limitations in the usefulness of the system. Many of the existing limitations are overcome by the present invention.
