Factors Influencing the Retention of Organic Solvents in Products Freeze-Dried From Co-Solvent Systems.
Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences 2018 August
Controlling residual solvent levels is a major concern in pharmaceutical freeze-drying from co-solvent systems. This review provides an overview of the factors influencing this process and estimates their potential to reduce residual solvents in freeze-dried products. Decreased solvent contents are potentially correlated with the lower solid content, complete excipient crystallization, higher water solubility, and smaller molecular sizes of the solvent. Although no general rule can be derived for the selection of appropriate freezing conditions, the freezing stage appears to play a major role in subsequent volatile retention. In contrast, diverse secondary drying conditions do not appear to impact the amount of solvent retained in lyophilisates, and modification of this stage is thus not assumed to be expedient. Co-solvents are strongly entrapped in an amorphous product matrix as soon as the local moisture content decreases below a certain level. Thus, the moisture content in the dried product layer adjacent to the sublimation interface might be a key factor. Therefore, extension of the high moisture content period during the primary drying phase as well as a postlyophilization humidification of the dried products are presumably promising approaches to promote solvent release.
