Approaches to increase mechanistic understanding and aid in the selection of precipitation inhibitors for supersaturating formulations – a PEARRL review

Abstract: Precipitation inhibitors are becoming increasingly important in enabling formulations. Trial-and-error approaches have seen success thus far. However, it is essential to learn more about the mode of action of PIs if the most optimal formulations are to be realised. Robust analytical tools, and the knowledge of where and how they can be applied, will be essential in this endeavour.

“…Ketoconazole expressed high supersaturation, exceeding the thermodynamic solubility of the drug in FaSSIF pH 6.5, during the in vitro transfer model experiment. Due to its thermodynamically instable state, supersaturation leads to drug precipitation, resulting in a decreased amount of API in solution. As expected, the supersaturation and precipitation behaviour of ketoconazole can be related to the physicochemical properties and the pH‐dependent solubility of the API (Table ) .…”

“…Due to this, there is an innate tendency for the supersaturated solution to return to a lower energy state, through precipitation. Therefore, to derive maximum benefit from supersaturation of the API, such formulations often include a precipitation inhibitor to sustain the period over which the API remains in solution (Price, 2018). This formulation approach is often referred to as the "spring and parachute" model (Guzman, 2007).…”

“…Currently, the mechanistic details of precipitation inhibition are not fully understood, and the specific molecular properties that yield efficient precipitation inhibitors have not yet been clarified. Given this uncertainty, a variety of hypotheses for the molecular mechanisms of precipitation inhibition have been proposed (Warren, 2010;Price, 2018). Additionally, it appears that precipitation inhibition is also an API-specific process.…”
