USP Dissolution
• The act of an API (or any other substance) will go into solution
• A variety of dissolution mediums available, designed to discriminate between in-vivo important factors- Tablet is placed inside a standard dissolution bath (USP II)- Paddle rotates at a specific speed (typically 50-75 RPM)- Concentration of drug in solution measured using HPLC,
UV-VIS or something similar- Only drug content in solution measured – the end result of
wetting, disintegration and dissolution
![Page 4: The use of tablet disintegration measurement and … use of tablet disintegration measurement and modelling in the prediction of in-vitro dissolution performance David Wilson Gavin](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102920/5adb49e57f8b9ae1768e4f43/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
USP Disintegration
• The extent (rate?) at which a tablet breaks up into smaller pieces
• Standard test, defines disintegration as the time it takes for the last particle of a tablet to fall through a 2 mm square mesh grid (although other grids available)- Mechanically agitated basket- Average of 6 tablets used or time taken for the last tablet to disintegrate- Typically performed at 36 ºC in water although other mediums can be used
![Page 5: The use of tablet disintegration measurement and … use of tablet disintegration measurement and modelling in the prediction of in-vitro dissolution performance David Wilson Gavin](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102920/5adb49e57f8b9ae1768e4f43/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Can you use one test to understand the other?
• Can you attribute observed differences in dissolution profiles to measured differences in disintegration time?
• Can we pull apart drug substance phenomena (API particle size, solubility, etc) from formulation phenomena (tablet porosity, formulation components, etc)
• Can you define disintegration in a dissolution bath in the same way as it is measured in the disintegration test?
• What is the mechanism of “dissolution”? Fully wet – fully disintegrated –dissolving particles? Is this a constant for all tablets?
• Which is the limiting factor for dissolution rate?• What are the rates of these phenomena?• How does an “eroding” tablet disintegrate? – You can measure it in a
disintegration apparatus...• What exactly do people meaning by an “eroding” tablet and a
“disintegrating” tablet anyway? How do I conclude which I have and is it important?

Dissolution and Disintegration
• Both tests are a measure of:- Wetting – how quickly the tablet is exposed to the media- Disintegration – the speed and nature of particle release- Dissolution – the speed and nature of API dissolving
• However, they measure different ratios of these phenomena in a different way- Dissolution in the disintegration bath won’t be the same as in the
dissolution media!- Disintegration in the dissolution bath won’t be the same as in the
disintegration test!• Beyond a simple rank order it would be difficult to understand one
test with the other

Case study
• Tablet porosity can be easily manipulated with compression force
• High and low porosity tablets were manufactured as part of a study into the affects of process upon a newly formulated product
• Is compression force important for in-vitro drug release and if so why?

Measuring disintegration during dissolution
• Could observed differences in dissolution be attributed to measured differences in tablet disintegration?
• It was desired to measure the evolution of particle size distributions of entrained particles as a function of time- Measure particle release rate - Measure the size distribution of released particles as a
function of time- Analyse dissolution rate in conjunction with particle release
rate

Experimental Conclusions
• High and low porosities tablets had radically differing particle release rates
• Disintegration time difference is probably and under estimate of the difference between the formulations
• Low porosity tablets may “erode” where as high porosity tablets may “disintegrate”
• Dissolution rate is generally proportional to the number of particles entrained in solution
• Weight distributions produced are slightly different, i.e. the tablets disintegrate into differing things
• Drug particle evolution with time can be tracked

Conclusions
From tablet disintegration measurements it is possible to understand in-vitro dissolution variance as a function of tablet physical properties
Subsequently the affect of altering tablet physical properties (via processing) on dissolution behaviour can be modelled
This model has been further developed to understand the interplay between tablet porosity, API particle size and dissolution performance
