PURPOSE: Twin-screw wet granulation (TSWG) is a manufacturing process that offers several advantages for the processing of water-insoluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and has been used for increasing the solubility and dissolution rates. Here we introduce a novel TSWG approach with reduced downstream processing steps by using non-volatile solvents as granulating binders.
METHODS: Herein, TSWG was carried out using Transcutol a non-volatile protic solvent as a granulating binder and dissolution enhancer of ibuprofen (IBU) blends with cellulose polymer grades (Pharmacoat® 603, Affinisol™, and AQOAT®).
RESULTS: The physicochemical characterisation of the produced granules showed excellent powder flow and the complete transformation of IBU into the amorphous state. Dissolution studies presented immediate release rates for all IBU formulations due to the high drug-polymer miscibility and the Transcutol solubilising capacity.
CONCLUSIONS: Overall, the study demonstrated an innovative approach for the development of extruded granules by processing water-insoluble APIs with non-volatile solvents for enhanced dissolution rates at high drug loadings.
