Hence, the dissolution kinetics are dependent on the viscosity of the polymer, indirectly determined by the molecular weight (Mw) of the polymer, the solubility of the drug in the polymer, the particle size of the drug and the molecular size of the drug. Using compacts containing 30 wt% of the drug celecoxib (CCX), 69.25 wt% of three different Mw of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP: PVP12, PVP17 or PVP25), 0.25 wt% plasmonic nanoaggregates (PNs) and 0.5 wt% lubricant, the effect of the polymer Mw on the dissolution kinetics upon exposure to laser radiation was investigated. Furthermore, the effect of the model drug on the dissolution kinetics was investigated using compacts containing 30 wt% of three different drugs (CCX, indomethacin (IND) and naproxen (NAP)), 69.25 wt% PVP12, 0.25 wt% PN and 0.5 wt% lubricant. In perfect correlation to the Noyes-Whitney equation, this study showed that the use of PVP with the lowest viscosity, i.e., the lowest Mw (here PVP12), led to the fastest rate of amorphization compared to PVP17 and PVP25. Furthermore, NAP showed the fastest rate of amorphization, followed by IND and CCX in PVP12 due to its high solubility and small molecular size.", "doi": "10.3390/molecules26134035", "pmid": "34279377", "labels": {"Alexandra Teleki": null, "SciLifeLab Fellow": null}, "xrefs": [{"db": "pmc", "key": "PMC8271673"}, {"db": "pii", "key": "molecules26134035"}], "notes": [], "created": "2021-12-14T23:41:05.168Z", "modified": "2025-12-04T17:09:39.306Z"}, {"entity": "publication", "iuid": "8be6fd1873b64bea9a17c1d16ca03429", "links": {"self": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/publication/8be6fd1873b64bea9a17c1d16ca03429.json"}, "display": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/publication/8be6fd1873b64bea9a17c1d16ca03429"}}, "title": "The Influence of Drug\u2013Polymer Solubility on Laser-Induced In Situ Drug Amorphization Using Photothermal Plasmonic Nanoparticles", "authors": [{"family": "Hempel", "given": "Nele Johanna", "initials": "NJ", "orcid": "0000-0002-1021-6898", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/817e99f5b11f4c768e493ed7d614367f.json"}}, {"family": "Merkl", "given": "Padryk", "initials": "P", "orcid": "0000-0002-8922-3774", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/ef9f5d07bdb442c88ea767812cbfc8ca.json"}}, {"family": "Knopp", "given": "Matthias Manne", "initials": "MM"}, {"family": "Berthelsen", "given": "Ragna", "initials": "R", "orcid": "0000-0002-5992-9688", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/fe9efdd81a854ca8929fa01d240935cb.json"}}, {"family": "Teleki", "given": "Alexandra", "initials": "A", "orcid": "0000-0001-6514-8960", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/6fe98cb60a304a5aa33e24401fcd8af6.json"}}, {"family": "Sotiriou", "given": "Georgios A", "initials": "GA", "orcid": "0000-0001-5040-620X", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/f4b529432ad344308c9529badf192efd.json"}}, {"family": "L\u00f6bmann", "given": "Korbinian", "initials": "K", "orcid": "0000-0002-8710-6347", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/ed940056bb8248468f21964dba464f49.json"}}], "type": "journal-article", "published": "2021-06-21", "journal": {"title": "Pharmaceutics", "issn": "1999-4923", "volume": "13", "issue": "6", "pages": "917", "issn-l": null}, "abstract": "In this study, laser-induced in situ amorphization (i.e., amorphization inside the final dosage form) of the model drug celecoxib (CCX) with six different polymers was investigated.

A novel approach to overcome this challenge is drug amorphization inside a tablet, that is, on-demand drug amorphization. The amorphous form is a thermodynamically instable, disordered solid-state with increased dissolution rate and solubility compared to its crystalline counterpart. During on-demand drug amorphization, the drug molecularly disperses into a polymer to form an amorphous solid at elevated temperatures inside a tablet. This study investigates, for the first time, the utilization of photothermal plasmonic nanoparticles for on-demand drug amorphization as a new pharmaceutical application. For this, near-IR photothermal plasmonic nanoparticles were tableted together with a crystalline drug (celecoxib) and a polymer (polyvinylpyrrolidone). The tablets were subjected to a near-IR laser at different intensities and durations to study the rate of drug amorphization under each condition. During laser irradiation, the plasmonic nanoparticles homogeneously heated the tablet. The temperature was directly related to the rate and degree of amorphization. Exposure times as low as 180 s at 1.12 W cm-2 laser intensity with only 0.25 wt % plasmonic nanoparticles and up to 50 wt % drug load resulted in complete drug amorphization. Therefore, near-IR photothermal plasmonic nanoparticles are promising excipients for on-demand drug amorphization with laser irradiation.", "doi": "10.1021/acs.molpharmaceut.1c00077", "pmid": "33951909", "labels": {"Alexandra Teleki": null, "SciLifeLab Fellow": null}, "xrefs": [], "notes": [], "created": "2021-12-14T23:40:08.341Z", "modified": "2025-12-04T17:06:45.849Z"}]}
