Nvestigation Of Dissolution And Dispersion Behavior Of Ritonavir From Amorphous Solid Dispersion, Nitprapa Siriwannakij

Theses and Dissertations

The aim of this study was to develop ritonavir amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) formulation, investigate its aqueous dissolution and dispersion behavior, and predict potential pharmacokinetic parameters by in-silico modeling. The binary/ternary ASDs of ritonavir with PVPVA or HPMCAS-MG in the absence or presence of surfactants were prepared by using the hot-melt extrusion method. The amount of ritonavir was fixed at 20 %w/w, while amount of polymer and surfactant in the formulation was varied. The film-casting technique was used to confirm the miscibility of drug and polymer in the absence and presence of surfactant in different formulations. PXRD and DSC analyze …
