Abstract
- For the development of dispersible tablets of itraconazole (ITR), techniques of thermal, Raman spectroscopy, and isothermal stress testing (IST) were used to assess the compatibility of ITR with selected excipients. Initially, differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) was used to evaluate the compatibility. Raman spectrum of drug-excipient mixture was also compared with that of pure drug and excipient. Compatibility of excipients defined in the prototype formula was tested using IST. Based on the DSC results alone, PEG-4000 was found to exhibit interaction with ITR. However, the results of Raman and IST studies showed that all the excipients used in the formula were compatible with ITR. Overall, compatibility of excipients with ITR was successfully evaluated using the combination of DSC, Raman spectroscopy, and IST techniques. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
