MP-SPR for controlled drug release

Controlled drug release formulations are extensively studied to enhance or extend drug absorption. MP-SPR enables in vitro comparison of drug release formulations. 

See reasons to choose MP-SPR for controlled drug release studies:

  • Drug release from up to micron thick samples
  • Real-time and label-free measurements
  • Get rid of bulk effect
  • Understanding of structural changes

See key questions about controlled drug release that MP-SPR can answer:

  • What is the release rate of drug X from material Y?

In vitro monitoring of drug release kinetics
with real-time MP-SPR

Application Note #141

Figure 1. A thin polymer was deposited on a sensor slide ex situ and small molecule weight drug release from the film was monitored in real-time with MP-SPR.

A real-time Multi-Parametric Surface Plasmon Resonance (MP-SPR) instrument was used to monitor the release rate of a small molecular weight drug, Perphenazine, from 5 microns thin EUDRAGIT®-based polymer films. The release kinetics was clearly faster from a film containing a film thickening excipient, Polyvinyl-pyrrolidone (PVP) compared to a film without excipient. MP-SPR results had a good correlation with results of in vitro reference measurements. The MP-SPR experiments revealed additional kinetic information compared to traditional in vitro measurements.
