Applications of NIR in early stage formulation development. Part I. Semi-quantitative blend uniformity and content uniformity analyses by reflectance NIR without calibration models.
International Journal of Pharmaceutics 2007 August 2
This article describes a semi-quantitative reflectance near infrared (SQ-NIR) method for blend uniformity (BU) and content uniformity (CU) analyses in early stage formulation development. Applicability of the method depends upon three factors: separation of NIR signals of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) from placebo; strength of the signal; and a quantitative relationship between API concentration and NIR signal. Based on these three criteria, suitable NIR signals of the API, separated from those of placebo through suitable pretreatment of the spectra, can be used for BU and CU calculations without calibration models. The method was applied to an early stage formulation development project. Multiple batches of tablets were prepared and analyzed using the SQ-NIR method and a validated UV-VIS reference method. The SQ-NIR method was able to distinguish between batches that had satisfactory and unsatisfactory content uniformity and potency. In addition, effects of compression force and API particle size on the SQ-NIR results are discussed. It is proposed that the SQ-NIR method may be used as an independent test in early stage formulation development. The advantages and limitations of the method compared with traditional HPLC or UV-VIS methods are also discussed.
