Drug Phase
Transformation and Water Redistribution
during Continuous Tablet Manufacturing: A Case Study of Carbamazepine
Dihydrate
Posted on 2023-05-26 - 13:07
In recent years, continuous tablet manufacturing technology
has
been used to obtain regulatory approval of several new drug products.
While a significant fraction of active pharmaceutical ingredients
exists as hydrates (wherein water is incorporated stoichiometrically
in the crystal lattice), the impact of processing conditions and formulation
composition on the dehydration behavior of hydrates during continuous
manufacturing has not been investigated. Using powder X-ray diffractometry,
we monitored the dehydration kinetics of carbamazepine dihydrate in
formulations containing dibasic calcium phosphate, anhydrous (DCPA),
mannitol, or microcrystalline cellulose. The combined effect of nitrogen
flow and vigorous mixing during the continuous mixing stage of tablet
manufacture facilitated API dehydration. Dehydration was rapid and
most pronounced in the presence of DCPA. The dehydration product,
amorphous anhydrous carbamazepine, sorbed a significant fraction of
the water released by dehydration. Thus, the dehydration process resulted
in a redistribution of water in the powder blend. The unintended formation
of an amorphous dehydrated phase, which tends to be much more reactive
than its crystalline counterparts, is of concern and warrants further
investigation.
