Currently, there is no systematic approach available for the validation, quantitative assessment, and troubleshooting for the in-situ fiber optic/bathless dissolution system (FODS). In this report, a dissolution protocol was developed and validated for a model product, chlorpheniramine maleate (CPM) 4 mg IR tablets. Dissolution runs were conducted at 37 ± 0.

Biorelevant media are increasingly being employed as dissolution media in drug development, including in smaller volumes than 900ml and under non-sink conditions. The objectives were to assess interday repeatability, interanalyst repeatability, and interlaboratory reproducibility of dissolution profiles from biorelevant media, as well as to assess the impacts of biorelevant media production method and biorelevant medium volume on dissolution profiles. Ibuprofen and ketoconazole tablets were subjected to dissolution testing in 500ml, 300ml, and 40ml of fasted state simulated gastric fluid (FaSSGF), fed state simulated gastric fluid (FeSSGF), fasted state simulated intestinal fluid version 2 (FaSSIF-V2), and fed state simulated intestinal fluid version 2 (FeSSIF-V2).

Dissolution testing and solubility determinations in different biorelevant media have gained considerable interest in the pharmaceutical industry from early-stage development of new products to forecasting bioequivalence. Among all biorelevant fluids, the preparation of fed-state simulated gastric fluid (FeSSGF) and handling of samples from dissolution/solubility testing in FeSSGF is considered to be relatively challenging. Challenges include maintaining the stability of FeSSGF medium upon sampling, filtration, and mitigating analytical interference of excipients and milk components.

In the literature, it is reported that eutectics lead to the enhanced dissolution of a poorly soluble compound. However, the solubility theory suggests that since crystal structures of two components are unchanged that all else being equal, the dissolution rates of a fused mixture (FM) should be the same as a physical mixture (PM). The influence of crystal lattice energy on dissolution profiles was investigated using the PM and FM.
