Hydrogel Microparticle‐Templated Anti‐Solvent Crystallization of Small‐Molecule Drugs

Abstract: Conventional formulation strategies for hydrophobic small‐molecule drug products frequently include mechanical milling to decrease active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) crystal size and subsequent granulation processes to produce an easily handled powder. A hydrogel‐templated anti‐solvent crystallization method is presented for the facile fabrication of microparticles containing dispersed nanocrystals of poorly soluble API. Direct crystallization within a porous hydrogel particle template yields core–shell structures in which the hydrogel core containing API nanocrystals is encased by a crystalline API shell. The process of controllable loading (up to 64% w/w) is demonstrated, and tailored dissolution profiles are achieved by simply altering the template particle size. API release is well described by a shrinking core model. Overall, the approach is a simple, scalable and potentially generalizable method that enables novel means of independently controlling both API crystallization and excipient characteristics, offering a “designer” drug particle system.
