Although the preparation
of amorphous solid dispersions can improve
the solubility of crystalline drugs, there is still a lack of guidance
on the micromechanism in the screening and evaluation of polymer excipients.
In this study, a particular method of experimental characterization
combined with molecular simulation was attempted on solubilization
of myricetin (MYR) by solid dispersion. According to the analysis
of the dispersibility and hydrogen-bond interaction, the effectiveness
of the solid dispersion and the predicted sequence of poly(vinyl pyrrolidone)
(PVP) > hypromellose (HPMC) > poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) as
the polymer
excipient were verified. Through the dissolution, cell viability,
and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-level detection, the reliability
of simulation and micromechanism analysis was further confirmed. This
work not only provided the theoretical guidance and screening basis
for the miscibility of solid dispersions from the microscopic level
but also served as a reference for the modification of new drugs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
