Abstract

The solubility of a drug in a polymeric excipient dictates the process window of hot-melt extrusion (HME) and product stability during storage. In this study, a new systematic methodology has been developed to experimentally measure the solubility of a model drug in a pharmaceutical grade polymer at different temperatures. A "phase diagram" was constructed and could be explored to design the HME process. Flory-Huggins interaction parameter (χ) was calculated by Tdissolution depression method based on the "phase diagram" and was used for thermodynamic solubility calculation.
