Abstract	Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques have been successfully used to characterize the evolving pore structure of partially soluble pharmaceutical pellets as they absorb water and release soluble components. The restricted diffusivity of water trapped within pellets, which have been immersed in water for differing times, has been measured by pulsed field gradient NMR. These measurements have been used to calculate the surface-to-volume ratio and tortuosity of the pore structure. A one-shot Carr–Purcell–Meiboom–Gill sequence has been used to measure the spin–spin (T 2) relaxation time of water trapped within the pellets. These data have been regularized and then analyzed by the Brownstein–Tarr model to provide a pore size distribution for the pellets as a function of increasing immersion time. It has been found that pore structure changes significantly as water enters the pellet matrix. Two pellet formulations (herein referred to as placebo and drug-loaded) were studied and showed the same trends of a decreasing surface-to-volume ratio and tortuosity with increasing immersion time. At an immersion time of 10 min, both of these parameters decreased to approximately 70% of their values compared to an immersion time of 2 min. The placebo material tested consistently had both a higher tortuosity and surface-to-volume ratio than the drug-loaded material. At an immersion time of 2 min, the tortuosity for the placebo and drug-loaded materials were about 18 and about 10, respectively, and surface-to-volume ratios of about 6 μm−1 and about 5 μm−1, respectively. The materials tested also show changes in their pore size distribution with immersion time. In both formulations the mean and modal pore sizes increase with immersion time. The placebo material maintains an approximately similar mean and modal pore size, about 2 μm over the timescales studied, suggesting a more symmetric pore size distribution. In the drug-loaded pellets the mean pore size is much higher than the modal pore size, their values being 6.5 and 2.1 μm after 10 min immersion time, respectively.
