Drug Content Determination of Low-Dosed Hot-Melt Extruded Filaments using Raman Spectroscopy.
Pharmaceutical Development and Technology 2024 Februrary 27
The aim of this study was to evaluate the suitability of a non-disruptive Raman spectroscopic method to quantify drug concentrations below 5 w% within a polymer matrix produced by hot-melt extrusion (HME). For calibration, praziquantel (PZQ) - polyvinylpyrrolidone-vinylacetat-copolymer (PVP-VA) mixtures were extruded. By focusing the laser light of the Raman probe to a diameter of 1 mm and implementing a self-constructed filament holder, the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio could be reduced considerably. The obtained Raman spectra show quite high fluorescence, which is likely to be caused by dissolved pharmaceutical active ingredient (API) in the polymer matrix. For content determination, HPLC analysis was conducted as a reference method using the same filament segments. A partial least squares (PLS) model, regressing the PZQ concentrations from HPLC method analysis versus the off-line collected Raman spectra, was developed. The linear correlation for a suitable extrusion run for the production of low-dosed filaments (extrusion 1, two kneading zones) is acceptable (R 2 = 0.9915) while the correlation for a extrusion set-up with low miscibility (extrusion 2; without kneading zone) is unacceptable (R 2 = 0.5349). The predictive performance of the calibration model from extrusion 1 is rated by the root mean square error of estimation (RMSEE), which was 0.08%. This calibration can now be used to validate the content of low-dosed filaments during HME.
