Systematic Screening Study for the Selection of Proper Stabilizers to Produce Physically Stable Canagliflozin Nanosuspension by Wet Milling Method

One of the crucial approaches to managing the low solubility and weak bioavailability of drugs is via nanocrystal technology. Through this technology, drug particles have an increased solubility and a faster dissolution rate due to high surface free energy, which requires an appropriate stabilizer(s) to prevent instabilities during the manufacturing process and storage of the nanosuspension. This study aimed to establish a scientific predictive system for properly selecting stabilizers or to reduce the attempts on a trial-and-error basis in the wet-milling method. In total, 42 experiments were performed to examine the effect of critical material attributes on the wettability of the drug, the saturation solubility in the stabilizer solutions or combinations thereof and the dynamic viscosity of stabilizer solutions. All data were evaluated by Minitab 19® and an optimization study was performed. The optimized formulation at a certain concentration of stabilizer combination was ground by Dyno Mill® with 0.3 mm beads for one hour. The optimized nanosuspension with a particle size of 204.5 nm was obtained in short milling time and offered 3.05- and 3.51 times better dissolution rates than the marketed drug product (Invokana® 100 mg) in pH 4.5 and pH 6.8 as non-sink conditions, respectively. The formulation was monitored for three months at room temperature and 4 °C. The parameters were 261.30 nm, 0.163, -14.1 mV and 261.50 nm, 0.216 and -17.8 mV, respectively. It was concluded that this approach might indicate the appropriate selection of stabilizers for the wet-milling process.
