Amorphous drug nanosuspensions. 2. Experimental determination of bulk monomer concentrations

Abstract
A simple turbidimetric method was developed to measure the bulk concentration of drug in nanosuspensions. The bulk concentrations measured were in the range from 1 mu M to 1 mM. The accuracy of the method was checked by determination of the bulk concentration of crystalline nanosuspensions, i.e., the crystalline solubility, which compared favorably to solubilities measured by a conventional method. Results obtained for amorphous nanosuspensions agreed with predictions using a theory describing the relative solubility between a supercooled liquid and a crystal. Further, it was found that the bulk concentration in Ostwald ripening inhibited amorphous nanosuspensions and could be lowered by incorporation of higher amounts of the inhibitor, in... (More)
