- the viscosity of the polysaccharide ethers typically ranges from about 1 to 8000 centipoise, preferably from about 100 to 3000 centipoise. Unless otherwise indicated, as used herein the term “viscosity” refers to the viscosity of a 1.0 weight percent aqueous solution of the polymer measured at 25°C with a Brookfield viscometer. Such viscosity measuring techniques are known in the art and are described in ASTM D 2364-89.
- the average particle size of the polysaccharide ethers is not critical, but is preferably from about 0.01 to 1000 microns and more preferably from about 50 to 400 microns.

For example, the concentration of polyalkylene oxide or the water-soluble polymer in a solid composition can range broadly from a very low concentration, e.g., 0.1 weight percent, to a very high concentration of 99 weight percent or more.
- Liquid compositions especially for alkoxylated polysaccharide polymers will often comprise substantially smaller amounts of polymer often in the range 0.1 to about 5 weight percent.
- the compositions of the present invention can also provide a sustained release of the compounds in the aqueous liquid. It has been found that when utilizing the water-soluble polymers having certain molecular weight ranges, the characteristics of the release profile can be adjusted as desired.
- the water-soluble polymers in the molecular weight range of about 900,000 to 7,000,000 for the polyakylene oxide polymers and 500,000 to 1,000,000 for the alkoxylated polysaccharide polymers are preferred.

- CELLOSIZE HEC WP-09L showed an increase in ibuprofen solubility, on the order of fourfold, for a 2.0% (w/v) solution.
- HPMC had very little if any effect on increasing the water solubility of ibuprofen relative to CELLOSIZE HEC WP-09L.
- CELLOSIZE HEC seems to enhance the solubility characteristics of poorly water soluble drugs like ibuprofen and tolbutamide in aqueous mediums with ranging pH profiles.
- Polyethylene oxide another hydrophilic binder commonly used in the pharmaceutical industry, was investigated to determine if it could enhance the solubility of substantially water-insoluble compounds.
- This material unlike hydroxyethyl cellulose is thermoplastic, that is, it can be re-melted and re-shaped without loss in molecular weight using conventional melt processing equipment.
- melt-blends of polyethylene oxide and substantially water- insoluble compounds are described.
- the melt fused materials obtained from the Brabender were compressed into plaques on a Greenard Press.
- the plaques had dimensions of 63 mm x 63 mm x 3 mm.
- the heating cycle for each system regardless of active was as follows: 1 min heat with no pressure at 80 °C, 1 min heat with pressure at 2,000 psi, followed by isothermal cooling to room temperature. Teflon® Release paper was used to separate the material from the top plaque in all cases. From these plaques, tablets were punched out that weighed 3.5 g.
- EXAMPLE 8 To determine the dissolution profile or rate of drug release over time from the physical and melt blends, a dissolution apparatus used was similar to the one employed by Mura and co-workers (P. Mura et al. II Farmco.-Ed. Pr. vol. 42 6, 149, 1987).
- the dissolution medium consisted of either 300 mL of distilled water or 0.1N HC1 (SGF) maintained at 23 °C in a 600 mL beaker covered with a glass plate.
- the amount of drug in each POLYOX WSR matrix tablet was greater than 1000 ppm.
- Two techniques were used to prepare tablets. The first technique produced tablets by directly compressing and had dimensions of 28 mm x 5 mm at a pressure of 2 tons and dwell time of 10 seconds on a Carver Press [Model C, Carver Lab Press, Menomokee Falls, WI].
- the tablets were placed in a beaker and stirring was conducted at 200 rpm using a 5-blade paddle mixer. At suitable time intervals, 5 mL aliquots were removed from the dissolution vessel (600 mL beaker) and filtered with 0.45m filters and replaced with 5 mL of fresh dissolution medium. The amount of drug in solution at each time interval was appropriately diluted and blanked for absorbance measurements using a UV-VIS. Drug solubility was determined from established calibration curves as a function of time.
- Table 8 lists the rate of drug dissolution over time for polyethylene oxide samples in water prepared by melt blending and physical dispersion. From this table, it can be observed that the amount of drug released over time is much greater for the melt blends compared to the physical blends. Also, the total solubility of the melt blend system is greater than the physical blend system. This release rate data correlates well with the increase in solubility discussed in Example 5. Table 8.
- Table 9 lists the rate of tolbutamide dissolution over time for polyethylene oxide samples in SGF prepared by melt blending and physical dispersion. From this table, it can be observed that the amount of drug released over time is much greater for the melt blends compared to the physical blends. Also, the total solubility of the melt blend system is much greater than the physical blend system. This release rate data correlates well with the increase in solubility discussed in Example 5. Table 9.
- EXAMPLE 10 Table 10 lists the rate of sulfathiazole dissolution over time for polyethylene oxide samples in water prepared by melt blending and physical dispersion. From this table, it can be observed that the amount of drug released over time is somewhat greater for the melt blends compared to the physical blends. Also, the total solubility of the melt blend system is greater than the physical blend system. This release rate data correlates well with the increase in solubility discussed in Example 6. Table 10.
- EXAMPLE 11 Table 11 lists the rate of hydroflumethazide dissolution over time for polyethylene oxide samples in water prepared by melt blending and physical dispersion. From this table, it can be observed that the amount of drug released over time is much greater for the melt blends compared to the physical blends. Also, the total solubility of the melt blend system is greater than the physical blend system. This release rate data correlates well with the increase in solubility discussed in Example 7. Table 11.
- EXAMPLE 12 Table 12 lists the rate of hydroflumethazide dissolution over time for polyethylene oxide samples in SGF prepared by melt blending and physical dispersion. From this table, it can be observed that the amount of drug released over time is much greater for the melt blends compared to the physical blends. Also, the total solubility of the melt blend system is much greater, 4 to 5 times than the physical blend system. This release rate data correlates well with the increase in solubility discussed in Example 7. Table 12.
- a critical parameter to the methods described above for enhancing the water solubility of substantially water-insoluble compounds with carriers like polyethylene oxides is the shelf-life stability of such compounds.
- Certain carriers for example polyvinyl pyrrolidone and polyethylene glycols, when formulated with the substantially water-insoluble compounds, alter the structure of the substantially water-insoluble compound from the crystalline to the amorphous state.
- the problem with such a morphological change is that the drug, over time, may re-crystallize, thus reducing it's water- solubility.
- Such trends have been seen in PEG 6000-tolbutamide systems (Kedzierewicz et al. Int. J. Pharm. 117, 247, 1995).
- N-80 stored at 23 °C for 335 days.
- tolbutamide was formulated with both POLYOX WSR and a low molecular weight polyethylene glycol.
- the POLYOX WSR sample was prepared as described in Example 5.
- the polyethylene glycol sample was prepared as described in Example 1.
- Table 15 From this table it can be seen that, at a relatively high polymer concentration of 5.0% (w/v), the polyethylene glycol did not substantially increase the solubility of tolbutamide (less than 10.0%). Quite surprisingly, this is not true for the high molecular weight polyethylene oxide.
- the solubility enhancement of this system is over 800% at a polymer concentration of only 1.0% (w/v).
- High molecular weight polyethylene oxides not only increase the solubility of substantially water-insoluble compounds like tolbutamide at low pH's, but also the amount of polymer needed for this enhancement is five times lower than what is needed for polyethylene glycols. Further, by using a high molecular weight polyethylene oxide, one can impart a controlled delivery of the substantially water- insoluble compound over a long period of time. Low molecular weight polyethylene glycols dissolve rapidly and can not afford such a delivery profile.
