Abstract

PURPOSE: The aim was to follow hydrate formation of two structurally related drugs, theophylline and caffeine, during wet granulation using fast and nondestructive spectroscopic methods. METHODS: Anhydrous theophylline and caffeine were granulated with purified water. Charge-coupled device (CCD) Raman spectroscopy was compared with near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) in following hydrate formation of drugs during wet granulation (off-line). To perform an at-line process analysis, the effect of water addition was monitored by NIR spectroscopy and principal components analysis (PCA). The changes in the crystal arrangements were verified by using X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD). RESULTS: Hydrate formation of theophylline and caffeine could be followed by CCD Raman spectroscopy. The NIR and Raman spectroscopic results were consistent with each other. NIR revealed the state of water, and Raman spectroscopy gave information related to the drug molecule itself. The XRPD confirmed the spectroscopic results. PCA with three principal components explained 99.9 of the spectral variation in the second derivative NIR spectra. CONCLUSIONS: Both CCD Raman and NIR spectroscopic methods can be applied to monitoring of hydrate formation processes. However, NIR is more suitable for monitoring solid-water interactions.

Prediction of drug dissolution profiles from tablets using NIR diffuse reflectance spectroscopy: a rapid and nondestructive method.

A comparison between dissolution profiles obtained by using a dissolution apparatus (conventional method) and the NIR diffuse reflectance spectra of a series of clonazepam-containing batches is reported. Ten different formulations with fixed amount of clonazepam and varying proportions of excipients were analyzed at seven dissolution times and three different media. The percentages of dissolution of each sample were correlated with the NIR spectra of three tablets of each batch, through a multivariate analysis using the PLS regression algorithm. The squared correlation coefficients for the plots of percentages of dissolution from the equipment laboratory (dissolution apparatus and HPLC determination) versus the predicted values, in the leave-one-out cross-validation, varied from 0.80 to 0.92, indicating that the NIR diffuse reflectance spectroscopy method is an alternative, nondestructive tool for measurement of drug dissolution from tablets.

Improving the performance of SOMFA by use of standard multivariate methods.

Self-Organizing Molecular Field Analysis (SOMFA) comes with a built-in regression methodology, the Self-Organizing Regression (SOR), instead of relying on external methods such as PLS. In this article we present a proof of the equivalence between SOR and SIMPLS with one principal component. Thus, the modest performance of SOMFA on complex datasets can be primarily attributed to the low performance of the SOMFA regression methodology. A multi-component extension of the original SOR methodology (MCSOR) is introduced, and the performances of SOR, MCSOR and SIMPLS are compared using several datasets. The results indicate that in general the performance of SOMFA models is greatly improved if SOR is replaced with a more sophisticated regression method. The results obtained for the Cramer (CBG) dataset further underline the fact that it is a very poor benchmark dataset and should not be used to evaluate the performance of QSAR techniques.

Multivariate analysis of the selectivity for a pentachlorophenol-imprinted polymer.

A pentachlorophenol (PCP)-imprinted polymer (MIP) was obtained by thermal polymerization of a mixture of template, 4-vinylpyridine and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate with molar ratio 1 +3 + 27, using as porogenic solvent methanol-water ( 3 + 1(v/v)). The polymer was packed in an HPLC column and selectivity towards 52 PCP-related phenols (22-chloro-, 21-alkyl-, 4-aryl-, 3-methoxy- and 6-polyphenols) was measured using acetonitrile-acetic acid (99 + 1(v/v)) as mobile phase. The same was made for a reference polymer obtained without pentachlorophenol (NIP). The molecular recognition properties of the imprinted polymer were expressed in terms of selectivity index (SI), calculated for each phenol as k(NIP)/k(MIP). Sixteen molecular descriptors were calculated for each molecule: qO, the partial charge of the phenolic oxygen atom; qH, the partial charge of the phenolic hydrogen atom; Deltaq, the absolute value of the difference qO - qH; HOMO, the highest occupied molecular orbital; LUMO, the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital; Deltaorb, absolute value of the difference HOMO - LUMO; micro(2), the square of total dipole moment; MW, the molecular weight; SAS, the solvent-accessible molecular surface area; hSAS, the hydrophobic solvent-accessible molecular surface area; Svdw, the van der Waals molecular surface area; hSvdw, the hydrophobic part of Svdw; MOv, the molecular ovality; RG, the radius of gyration; logP, the logarithm of n-octanol-water partition coefficient; pK, the phenolic dissociation constant. Correlations between selectivity index and these descriptors were searched utilizing multivariate principal component analysis (PCA). The multivariate model obtained by regression on the principal components correlate collectively several of the calculated descriptors with the polymer selectivity. The magnitude of the model's parameters shows that selectivity is strongly influenced by molecular descriptors having structural character, such as MW, hSvdw and logP, while the effect of molecular descriptors having electronic character, such as qO and pK, is much less marked.
