Abstract
The high index of simultaneous incidence of hypertension and hypercholesterolemia in the population of many countries demands the preparation of more efficient drugs. Therefore, there is a significant area of opportunity to provide as many alternatives as possible to treat these illnesses. Taking advantage of the solubility enhancement that can be achieved when an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) is obtained and stabilized in its amorphous state, in the present work, new drug-drug co-amorphous formulations (Simvastatin SIM- Nifedipine NIF) with enhanced solubility and stability were prepared and characterized. Results show that the co-amorphous system (molar ratio 1:1) is more soluble than the pure commercial APIs studied separately. Aqueous dissolution profiles showed increments of solubility of 3.7 and 1.7 times for SIM and NIF, correspondingly, in the co-amorphous system. The new co-amorphous formulations, monitored in time, (molar fractions 0.3, 0.5 and 0.7 of SIM) remained stable in the amorphous state for more than one year when stored at room temperature and did not show any signs of crystallization when re-heating. Inspection on the remainder of a sample after six hours of dissolution showed no recrystallization, ...Continue Reading
