Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate how factors such as temperature, relative humidity and particle size impact the extent of disproportionation (salt to free base conversion) in powder blends of miconazole, benzocaine or sertraline mesylate salts mixed with a basic additive.
Method: Raman spectroscopy was used to quantitate the extent of disproportionation. The data was further analyzed by multivariate analysis with partial least squares (PLS) modeling.
Results: It was found that salt disproportionation was significantly influenced by % weight gain due to moisture sorption both in terms of the kinetics and the conversion extent, suggesting a solution-mediated reaction. Temperature plays an important role in impacting the value of pHmax which in turn has a significant correlation to the amount of free base formed. The particle size and drug: additive ratio were also found to influence the extent of disproportionation.
Conclusions: This study shows that the extent of salt disproportionation is influenced by multiple factors and the application of PLS modeling demonstrated the feasibility of utilizing multivariate analysis to generate a predictive model for estimating the extent of conversion and thus may serve as a tool for risk assessment.

Single particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (SP-ICP-MS) is a powerful tool for metallic nanoparticle (NP) characterisation in terms of concentration and, taking into account several assumptions, also size. However, this technique faces challenges, such as the intrinsic matrix effect, which significantly impact the results when analysing real complex samples. This issue is critical for the calculations of key SP-ICP-MS parameters ultimately altering the final outcomes.

Analysing samples in their original form is increasingly crucial in analytical chemistry due to the need for efficient and sustainable practices. Analytical chemists face the dual challenge of achieving accuracy while detecting minute analyte quantities in complex matrices, often requiring sample pretreatment. This necessitates the use of advanced techniques with low detection limits, but the emphasis on sensitivity can conflict with efforts to simplify procedures and reduce solvent use.

Enteric-coated microcapsules can protect roxithromycin (ROX) from acid hydrolysis enhancing efficacy, solubility, and dissolution rate, representing a promising oral formulation for children and patients with swallowing difficulties. ROX-layered core particles were obtained with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) K30 as the binder and Eudragit L30 D-55 as the coating material using the Wurster process in a fluidized bed processor. The enteric-coated microcapsules were characterized using powder X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, and polarized optical microscopy.

This study determined process conditions under which polystyrene (CPS) and zirconia (YSZ) beads cause similar breakage kinetics and temperature rise during manufacturing of drug nanosuspensions via wet bead milling and explored relative advantages of CPS beads, particularly for stress-sensitive compounds. Besides temperature and particle size measurements, a microhydrodynamic-based kinetic model simulated the conditions for CPS to achieve breakage rates equivalent to those of YSZ. A power law correlation was applied to find conditions conducive to temperature equivalency.

Oleic acid liposomes (OALs) are novel vesicular carriers ofunsaturated fatty acids and their corresponding ionized species, arranged within an enclosed lipid bilayer. This study aimed to encapsulate moxifloxacin HCl (MOX), a broad-spectrum antibacterial drug into OALs for effective treatment of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection through topical application. Various OALs were formulatedby combining varied quantities of phosphatidylcholine (PC), oleic acid (OA), and cholesterol (CH) with 50 mg of MOX.
