Definition-• Dissolution is a process in which a solid
substance solubilizes in a given solvent i.e. mass transfer from the solid surface to the liquid phase.
• Rate of dissolution is the amount of drug substance that goes in solution per unit time under standardized conditions of liquid/solid interface, temperature and solvent composition.

Intrinsic dissolution rate (IDR), which is the rate of mass transfer per area of dissolving surface and typically has the units of mg cm-2
min-1.
IDR should be independent of boundary layer thickness and volume of solvent. Thus IDR measures the intrinsic properties of the drug only as a function of the dissolution medium, e.g. its pH, ionic strength, counters ions etc.

Theories of Drug Dissolution
I. Diffusion layer model/Film Theory
II. Danckwert’s model/Penetration or surface renewal Theory
III. Interfacial barrier model/Double barrier or Limited solvation theory.
![Page 9: M pharm dissolution](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081417/5563b9afd8b42ad83c8b4c40/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
I. Diffusion layer model/Film Theory :-
• It involves two steps :-
a. Solution of the solid to form stagnant film or diffusive layer which is saturated with the drug
b. Diffusion of the soluble solute from the stagnant layer to the bulk of the solution; this is r.d.s in drug dissolution.
![Page 10: M pharm dissolution](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081417/5563b9afd8b42ad83c8b4c40/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

• The rate of dissolution is given by Noyes and Whitney:
Where,
dc/dt= dissolution rate of the drug
K= dissolution rate constant
Cs= concentration of drug in stagnant layer
Cb= concentration of drug in the bulk of the solution at time t
= k (Cs- Cb) dc dt
![Page 12: M pharm dissolution](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081417/5563b9afd8b42ad83c8b4c40/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Modified Noyes-Whitney’s Equation -
dC dt
Where, D= diffusion coefficient of drug. A= surface area of dissolving solid. Kw/o= water/oil partition coefficient of drug. V= volume of dissolution medium. h= thickness of stagnant layer. (Cs – Cb )= conc. gradient for diffusion of drug.

Sink conditionA Sink conditions describe a dissolution system that is sufficiently dilute so that the dissolution process is not impeded by approach to saturation of the compound of interest.
Sink conditions affect the production of the sample but not the condition of the solution upon sampling.
In vivo condition, there is no conc. build up in the bulk of the solution and hence no retarding effect on the dissolution rate of the drug i.e. Cs>>Cb and sink condition maintain.

For obtaining IVIVC sink condition can be achieved by:
1) Bathing the dissolving solid in fresh solvent from time to time.
2) Increasing the volume of dissolution fluid.3) Removing the dissolved drug by partitioning it
from the aqueous phase of dissolution fluid into the organic phase placed either above or below the dissolution fluid for e.g. hexane or chloroform.
4) Adding a water miscible solvent such as alcohol to the dissolution fluid.
5) By adding selected adsorbents to remove the dissolution drug.
• In vitro sink condition is so maintain that Cb always less than 10% of Cs.

HIXON-CROWELL CUBE ROOT RELATIONSHIP• Major assumptions in Noyes-Whitney relationship is that the
S.A.(A) term remains constant throughout dissolution process. This is true for some formulations, such as transdermal patches.
• However, size of drug particles from tablets, capsules and suspensions will decrease as drug dissolves.
• This decrease in size of particles changes the effective S.A.• Thus, Hixon & Crowell modified the eq to represent rate of
appearance of solute by weight in solution by multiplying both sides of volume term.
W01/3– W1/3 = kt W0 = original mass of drug W = mass of drug remaining to dissolve at time t K = dissolution rate constant

• This is first order dissolution rate process, for which the driving force is concentration gradient.
• This is true for in-vitro dissolution which is characterized by non-sink conditions.
• The in-vivo dissolution is rapid as sink conditions are maintained by absorption of drug in systemic circulation i.e. Cb=0 and rate of dissolution is maximum.
![Page 18: M pharm dissolution](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081417/5563b9afd8b42ad83c8b4c40/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• Under sink conditions, if the volume and surface area of the solid are kept constant, then

• This represents that the dissolution rate is constant under sink conditions and follows zero order kinetics.

II. Danckwert’s model/Penetration or surface renewal Theory :-
• Dankwert takes into account the eddies or packets that are present in the agitated fluid which reach the solid-liquid interface, absorb the solute by diffusion and carry it into the bulk of solution.
• These packets get continuously replaced by new ones and expose to new solid surface each time, thus the theory is called as surface renewal theory.
![Page 20: M pharm dissolution](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081417/5563b9afd8b42ad83c8b4c40/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

• The Danckwert’s model is expressed by equation
Where,
m = mass of solid dissolved
Gamma (γ) = rate of surface renewal

III. Interfacial barrier model/Double barrier or Limited solvation theory :-
• The concept of this theory is explained by following equation-
G = Ki (Cs - Cb)
Where,
G = dissolution rate per unit area,
Ki = effective interfacial transport constant.
![Page 23: M pharm dissolution](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081417/5563b9afd8b42ad83c8b4c40/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
S
Film boundary
Bulk solution
Cs
C
Stagnant layer
In this model it is assumed that the reaction at solid surface is not instantaneous i.e. the reaction at solid surface and its diffusion across the interface is slower than diffusion across liquid film.
therefore the rate of solubility of solid in liquid film becomes the rate limiting than the diffusion of dissolved molecules
equation : dm/dt = Ki (Cs – C ) K = effective interfacial transport rate

Advantages of the Beaker Methods
The basket method is the most widely used procedure which confines the solid dosage form to a limited area which is essential for better reproducibility.
It is advantageous for capsules as they tend to float at the surface thus minimizing the area exposed to the dissolution fluid.
![Page 69: M pharm dissolution](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081417/5563b9afd8b42ad83c8b4c40/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
Limitation of the Beaker Methods Clogging of the basket screen by gummy particles.
Tendency of the light particles to float.
Sensitivity of the apparatus to variables such as vibration, eccentricity, etc.
Rapid corrosion of the SS mesh in presence of HCl.
Sensitivity of the apparatus to any slight changes in the paddle orientation.
Non-reproducible position of the tablets at the bottom of the flask.

2. OPEN FLOW-THROUGH COMPARTMENT SYSTEM
The dosage form is contained in a small vertical glass column with built in filter through which a continuous flow of the dissolution medium is circulated upward at a specific rate from an outside reservoir using a peristaltic or centrifugal pump.
Dissolution fluid is collected in a separate reservoir.
E.g. lipid filled soft Gelatin capsule
![Page 71: M pharm dissolution](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081417/5563b9afd8b42ad83c8b4c40/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)

Advantages
No stirring and drug particles are exposed
to homogeneous, laminar flow that can be
precisely controlled. All the problems of
wobbling, shaft eccentricity, vibration,
stirrer position don’t exist.
There is no physical abrasion of solids.
Perfect sink conditions can be maintained.
![Page 73: M pharm dissolution](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081417/5563b9afd8b42ad83c8b4c40/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Disadvantages
Tendency of the filter to clog because of the unidirectional flow.
Different types of pumps, such as peristaltic and centrifugal, have been shown to give different dissolution results.
Temperature control is also much more difficult to achieve in column type flow through system than in the conventional stirred vessel type.
![Page 74: M pharm dissolution](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081417/5563b9afd8b42ad83c8b4c40/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)

FACTORS RELATED TO PHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF DRUG
1) DRUG SOLUBILITY• Solubility of drug plays a prime role in controlling its
dissolution from dosage form. Aqueous solubility of drug is a major factor that determines its dissolution rate. Minimum aqueous solubility of 1% is required to avoid potential solubility limited absorption problems.
• Studies of 45 compound of different chemical classes and a wide range of solubility revealed that initial dissolution rate of these substances is directly proportional to their respective solubility.
• Ex. Poorly soluble drug :griseofulvin, spironolactone
hydrophilic drug :neomycin82
![Page 83: M pharm dissolution](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081417/5563b9afd8b42ad83c8b4c40/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
2 ) SALT FORMATION• It is one of the common approaches used to increase
drug solubility and dissolution rate. It has always been assumed that sodium salts dissolve faster than their corresponding insoluble acids. Eg.sodium and potassium salts of Peniciilin G, sulfa drugs, phenytoin, barbiturates etc.
• While in case of Phenobarbital dissolution of sodium salt was slower than that of weak acid. Same is the case for weak base drug, strong acid salts, such as hydrochlorides and sulphates of weak bases such as epinephrine, tetracycline are commonly used due to high solubility. However, free bases of chlortetracycline, methacycline were more soluble than corresponding hydrochloride salt at gastric pH values, due to common ion suppression.
83
![Page 84: M pharm dissolution](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081417/5563b9afd8b42ad83c8b4c40/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
3) PARTICLE SIZE
There is a direct relationship between surface area of drug and its dissolution rate. Since, surface area increases with decrease in particle size, higher dissolution rates may be achieved through reduction of particle size.
• Micronization of sparingly soluble drug to reduce particle size is by no means a guarantee of better dissolution and bioavailability.
• Micronization of hydrophobic powders can lead to aggregation and floatation. when powder is dispersed into dissolution medium. So, mere increase in S.A. of drug does not always guarantee an equivalent increase in dissolution rate. Rather, it is increase in the “effective” S.A., or area exposed to dissolution medium and not the absolute S.A. that is directly proportional to dissolution rate.
84
![Page 85: M pharm dissolution](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081417/5563b9afd8b42ad83c8b4c40/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
• Hydrophobic drugs like phenacetin, aspirin shows decrease in dissoln. rate as they tend to adsorb air at the surface and inhibit their wettability. Problem eliminated by evacuating surface from adsorbed air or by use of surfactants. So these drugs in-vivo exhibit excellent wetting due to presence of natural surfactants such as bile salts
• Eg. therapeutic conc. of griseofulvin was reduced to half by micronization
85
![Page 86: M pharm dissolution](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081417/5563b9afd8b42ad83c8b4c40/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
• 4) SOLID STATE CHARACTERISTICS
• Solid phase characteristics of drug, such as amorphicity, crystallinity, state of hydration and polymorphic structures have significant influence on dissolution rate.
• Anhydrous forms dissolve faster than hydrated form because they are thermodynamically more active than hydrates. Eg. Ampicillin anhydrate faster dissolution rate than trihydrate.
• Amorphous forms of drug tend to dissolve faster than crystalline materials. E.g.Novobiocin suspension, Griseofulvin.
86
![Page 87: M pharm dissolution](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081417/5563b9afd8b42ad83c8b4c40/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
• Where in the dissolution rate of amorphous erythromycin estolate is markedly lower than the crystalline form of erythromycin estolate.
• Metastable(high activation energy)polymorphic form have better dissolution than stable form
87
![Page 88: M pharm dissolution](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081417/5563b9afd8b42ad83c8b4c40/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
5) Co precipitation or Complexation
Co precipitation as well as complexation are use for enhancing the dissolution rate of drug due to,
Formation energetic amorphous drug phase or Drug being molecularly dispersed orFormation of co accervates
e.g.1) Hydroflumethiazide – PVP co precipitate has four times more solubility than crystalline drug.
2) Dissolution rate of sulfathiazole could be significantly increased by co precipitating the drug with povidone

FACTORS RELATED TO DRUG PRODUCT FORMULATION
1)DILUENTS• Studies of starch on dissolution rate of salicylic acid
tablet by dry double compression process shows three times increase in dissolution rate when the starch content increase from the 5 – 20 %.
• Here starch particles form a layer on the outer surface of hydrophobic drug particles resulting in imparting hydrophilic character to granules & thus increase in effective surface area & rate of dissolution

2)DISINTEGRANTS
• Disintegrating agent added before & after the granulation affects the dissolution rate.
• Studies of various disintegrating agents on Phenobarbital tablet showed that when copagel (low viscosity grade of Na CMC) added before granulation decreased dissolution rate but if added after did not had any effect on dissolution rate.
• Microcrystalline cellulose is a very good disintegrating agent but at high compression force, it may retard drug dissolution.
• Starch is not only an excellent diluent but also superior disintegrant due to its hydrophilicity and swelling property.
91
![Page 92: M pharm dissolution](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081417/5563b9afd8b42ad83c8b4c40/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
3)BINDERS AND GRANULATING AGENTS
• The hydrophilic binder increase dissolution rate of poorly wettable drug.
• Large amt. of binder increase hardness & decrease disintegration /dissolution rate of tablet.
• Non aqueous binders such as ethyl cellulose also retard the drug dissolution.
92
![Page 93: M pharm dissolution](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081417/5563b9afd8b42ad83c8b4c40/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)
• Phenobarbital tablet granulated with gelatin solution provide a faster dissolution rate in human gastric juice than those prepared using Na –carboxymethyl cellulose or polyethylene glycol 6000 as binder.
• In Phenobarbital tablet, faster dissolution rate was observed with 10% gelatin whereas decrease in dissolution rate with 20% gelatin. This was due to higher concentration which formed a thick film around tablet.
• Water soluble granulating agent Plasdone gives faster dissolution rate compared to gelatin.
93
![Page 94: M pharm dissolution](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081417/5563b9afd8b42ad83c8b4c40/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
4) Lubricants
• Lubricants are hydrophobic in nature (several metallic stearate & waxes) which inhibit wettability, penetration of water into tablet so decrease in disintegration and dissolution.
• The use of soluble lubricants like SLS and Carbowaxes which promote drug dissolution.
94
![Page 95: M pharm dissolution](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081417/5563b9afd8b42ad83c8b4c40/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
5)SURFACTANTS
• They enhance the dissolution rate of poorly soluble drug. This is due to lowering of interfacial tension, increasing effective surface area, which in turn results in faster dissolution rate.
• E.g. Non-ionic surfactant Polysorbate 80 increase dissolution rate of phenacetin granules.
95
![Page 96: M pharm dissolution](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081417/5563b9afd8b42ad83c8b4c40/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
6)WATER-SOLUBLE DYES
• Dissolution rate of single crystal of sulphathiazole was found to decrease significantly in presence of FD&C Blue No.1.
• The inhibiting effect was related to preferential adsorption of dye molecules on primary dissolution sources of crystal surfaces. They inhibit the micellar solubilization effect of bile salts on drug.
• Riboflavin tablet decrease when used FD & C Red no.3 dye in film coat
96
![Page 97: M pharm dissolution](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081417/5563b9afd8b42ad83c8b4c40/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)
7)Effect of coating component on tablet dissolution
• Coating ingredient especially shellac & CAP etc. Also have significant effect on the dissolution rate of coated tablet. Tablets with MC coating were found to exhibit lower dissolution profiles than those coated with HPMC at 37ºC.
97
![Page 98: M pharm dissolution](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081417/5563b9afd8b42ad83c8b4c40/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)
PROCESSING FACTORS1) METHOD OF GRANULATION
• Granulation process in general enhances dissolution rate of poorly soluble drug.
• Wet granulation is traditionally considered superior. But exception is the dissolution profile of sodium salicylate tablets prepared by both wet granulation and direct compression where the dissolution was found more complete and rapid in latter case.
• A newer technology called as APOC “Agglomerative Phase of Comminution” was found to produce mechanically stronger tablets with higher dissolution rates than those made by wet granulation. A possible mechanism is increased internal surface area of granules produced by APOC method.
98
![Page 99: M pharm dissolution](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081417/5563b9afd8b42ad83c8b4c40/html5/thumbnails/99.jpg)
2)COMPRESSION FORCE• The compression process influence density, porosity, hardness,
disintegration time & dissolution of tablet.
1. tighter bonding
2 . higher compression force cause deformation crushing or fracture of drug particle or convert a spherical granules into disc Shaped particle
3.& 4. both condition99
![Page 100: M pharm dissolution](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081417/5563b9afd8b42ad83c8b4c40/html5/thumbnails/100.jpg)
3) DRUG EXCIPIENT INTERACTION
• These interactions occur during any unit operation such as mixing, milling ,blending, drying, and/or granulating result change in dissolution.
• The dissolution of prednisolone found to depend on the length of mixing time with Mg-stearate
• Similarly as increase in mixing time of formulation containing 97 to 99% microcrystalline cellulose or another slightly swelling disintegrant result in enhance dissolution rate.
100
![Page 101: M pharm dissolution](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081417/5563b9afd8b42ad83c8b4c40/html5/thumbnails/101.jpg)
4) STORAGE CONDITIONS
• Dissolution rate of hydrochlorothiazide tablets granulated with acacia exhibited decrease in dissolution rate during 1 yr of aging at R.T
• For tablets granulated with PVP there was no change at elevated temperature but slight decrease at R.T.
• Tablets with starch gave no change in dissoln. rate either at R.T. or at elevated temperature.
101
![Page 102: M pharm dissolution](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081417/5563b9afd8b42ad83c8b4c40/html5/thumbnails/102.jpg)
1) AGITATION• Relationship between intensity of agitation and rate of
dissolution varies considerably acc. to type of agitation used, the degree of laminar and turbulent flow in system, the shape and design of stirrer and physicochemical properties of solid.
• Speed of agitation generates a flow that continuously changes the liq/solid interface between solvent and drug. In order to prevent turbulence and sustain a reproducible laminar flow, which is essential for obtaining reliable results, agitation should be maintained at a relatively low rate.
• Thus, in general relatively low agitation should be applied.
102
![Page 103: M pharm dissolution](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081417/5563b9afd8b42ad83c8b4c40/html5/thumbnails/103.jpg)
2) STIRRING ELEMENT ALIGNMENT
• The USP / NF XV states that the axis of the stirring element must not deviate more than 0.2 mm from the axis of the dissolution vessel which defines centering of stirring shaft to within ±2 mm.
• Studies indicant that significant increase in dissolution rate up to 13% occurs if shaft is offset 2-6 mm from the center axis of the flask.
• Tilt in excess of 1.5 0 may increase dissolution rate from 2 to 25%.
103
![Page 104: M pharm dissolution](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081417/5563b9afd8b42ad83c8b4c40/html5/thumbnails/104.jpg)
3) SAMPLING PROBE POSITION & FILTER• Sampling probe can affect the hydrodynamic of the
system & so that change in dissolution rate.
• For position of sampling, USP states that sample should be removed at approximately half the distance from the basket or paddle to the dissolution medium and not closer than 1 cm to the side of the flask.
• Accumulation of the particulate matter on the surface may cause significant error in the dissolution testing.
104
![Page 105: M pharm dissolution](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081417/5563b9afd8b42ad83c8b4c40/html5/thumbnails/105.jpg)
FACTORS RELATING DISSOLUTION TEST PARAMETERS
1)TEMPERATURE
• Drug solubility is temperature dependent, therefore careful temperature control during dissolution process is extremely important.
• Generally, a temp of 37º ± 0.5 is maintained during dissolution of oral dosage forms and suppositories. However, for topical preparations temp as low as 30º and 25º have been used
105
![Page 106: M pharm dissolution](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081417/5563b9afd8b42ad83c8b4c40/html5/thumbnails/106.jpg)
2) DISSOLUTION MEDIUM• Effect of dissolution air on dissolution medium Altering PH Dissolved air tends to release slowly in form of tiny air bubble that
circulate randomly and affect hydrodynamic flow pattern Specific gravity decrease leads to floating of powder which leads to
wetting and penetration problem.
• Dissolution media composition & PH Addition of Na – sulfate decrease the dissolution rate. Addition of urea increase dissolution rate.
106
![Page 107: M pharm dissolution](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081417/5563b9afd8b42ad83c8b4c40/html5/thumbnails/107.jpg)
• Volume of dissolution medium and sink conditions
Volume generally 500, 900 or 1,000 ml. Simulated gastric fluid(SGF) - pH 1.2. Simulated intestinal fluid (SIF)- pH 6.8 (not exceed pH 8.0).• The need for enzymes should be evaluated case-by-case
like…. (Pepsin with SGF and pancreatin with SIF• If drug is poorly soluble, a relatively large amount of fluid

• In order to minimize the effect of conc. gradient and maintain sink conditions, the conc. of drug should not exceed 10-15% of its maximum Solubility in dissolution medium selected.
• However, some insoluble drug a huge volume of dissoln. medium that would be required to maintain the sink conditions. For these, different approaches have been tried like….
continous flow method where fresh solvent is pumped continuously into dissolution flask at a fixed flow rate while maintaining a constant volume.
Use of non-ionic surfactant in conc. above CMC. Use of alcoholic solution (10-30%).

In vitro-in vivo correlation
• A predictive mathematical model that describes the relationship between an in-vitro property of a dosage form and an in-vivo response.
![Page 119: M pharm dissolution](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081417/5563b9afd8b42ad83c8b4c40/html5/thumbnails/119.jpg)
• Key goal in development of dosage form and good understanding of in vitro and in vivo performance of dosage form
• Formulation optimization requires altering some parameters – bioavailability studies
• Regulatory guidance developed to minimize the additional bioavailability studies

Purpose of IVIVC• The optimization of formulations
– may require changes in the composition, manufacturing process, equipment, and batch sizes.
– In order to prove the validity of a new formulation,
which is bioequivalent with a target formulation, a considerable amount of efforts is required to study bioequivalence (BE)/bioavailability(BA).
• The main purpose of an IVIVC model– to utilize in vitro dissolution profiles as a surrogate for
in vivo bioequivalence and to support biowaivers
– Data analysis of IVIVC attracts attention from the pharmaceutical industry.

Basic approaches
• By establishing a relationship usually linear, between the in vitro dissolution and in vivo bioavailability parameters.
• By using data from previous bioavailability studies to modify the dissolution methodology.

IVIVC levels
• Level A:– Point to point correlation is developed between in vitro
dissolution rate and the in vivo rate of absorption
• Level B:– Utilises statistical moment analysis and the mean in vitro
dissolution time is compared to either the mean residence time or the mean in vivo dissolution time
• Level C:– single point correlation that relates one dissolution time point to
one pharmacokinetic parameter
Multiple level C
