| Abstract | Flufenamic acid (FFA) is a highlypolymorphic drug molecule withnine crystal structures reported in the Cambridge Structural Database.This study explores the use of synchrotron X-ray powder diffractioncombined with differential scanning calorimetry to study crystallizationand polymorphic phase transitions upon heating FFA–polymeramorphous solid dispersions (ASDs). Ethyl cellulose (EC, 4 cp) andhydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) grades with different viscositiesand substitution patterns were used to prepare dispersions with FFAat 5:1, 2:1, 1:1, and 1:5 w/w drug/polymer ratios by quench cooling.We employed a 6 cp HPMC 2910 material and two HPMC 2208 samples at4000 and 100 000 cp. Hyphenated X-ray diffraction (XRD)–differentialscanning calorimetry (DSC) studies show that the 6 and 100 000cp HPMCs and 4 cp EC polymers can stabilize FFA form IV by inhibitingthe transition to form I during heating. It appears that the polymersstabilize FFA in both amorphous and metastable forms via a combinationof intermolecular interactions and viscosity effects. Increasing thepolymer content of the ASD also inhibits polymorphic transitions,with drug/polymer ratios of 1:5 w/w resulting in FFA remaining amorphousduring heating. The comparison of FFA ASDs prepared with differentsamples of HPMCs and ECs suggests that the chemical substitution ofthe polymer (HPMC 2208 has 19–24% methoxy groups and 4–12%hydroxypropyl groups, while HPMC 2910 has 28–30% methoxy groupsand 7–12% hydroxypropyl groups) plays a more significant rolein directing polymorphic transitions than the viscosity. A previouslyunreported polymorph of FFA was also noted during heating but itsstructure could not be determined. |
