Zusammenfassung:In this study, the interaction among multifunctional excipients, including polysaccharides, cellulose derivatives, and surfactants, was particularly investigated, together with its impact on the physicochemical properties of astaxanthin amorphous solid dispersions (ASTX ASDs). It was indicated that Span 20 could rapidly form hemimicelles or aggregates in the presence of hypromellose acetate succinate HF (HPMCAS-HF, HF) or Soluplus®, while octenyl succinic anhydride modified starch (OSA-starch) efficiently assisted in the coalescence inhibition of drug-excipients aggregates, which was jointly beneficial to the recrystallization inhibition of amorphous ASTX. ASTX ASDs were further prepared with OSA-starch, HPMCAS-HF/Soluplus®, and Span 20 as the wall materials. DSC, SEM, and XRD confirmed that crystalline ASTX had transformed to amorphous state in the ASDs, while FT-IR spectra provided evidence suggesting the existence of hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interaction between ASTX and the excipients. The dissolution of ASTX ASDs in different media revealed significant promotion, while the pharmacokinetic results further demonstrated the oral bioavailability of ASTX ASDs enhanced remarkably, exhibiting 2.75-fold (SD1) and 1.87-fold (SD2) increase, respectively, compared to ASTX bulk powder. In summary, the cellulose derivatives-surfactant interaction had great impact on the physicochemical properties of ASTX ASDs, and their combinations exhibited great potential for delivering the hydrophobic bioactive compounds efficiently.
