Re-visitation of Two Models for Predicting Mechanically-Induced Disordering after Cryogenic Impact Milling
ConclusionsPrediction accuracy of the ρcrit model decreased with dataset expansion, relative to previously published results. Overall, the ρcrit model was considerably less accurate relative to the bivariate empirical model, which retained very high prediction accuracy for the expanded dataset. Although the empirical model does not imply a mechanism, model robustness suggests the importance of glass transition temperature (Tg) and molar volume (Mv) on formation and persistence of amorphous materials following extensive cryomilling.

A Perspective on Model-Informed IVIVC for Development of Subcutaneous Injectables
AbstractSubcutaneously administered drugs are growing in popularity for both large and small molecule drugs. However, development of these systems – particularly generics – is slowed due to a lack of formal guidance regarding preclinical testing andin vitro–in vivo correlations (IVIVC). Many of these methods, while appropriate for oral drugs, may not be optimized for the complex injection site physiologies, and release rate and absorption mechanisms of subcutaneous drugs. Current limitations for formulation design and IVIVC can be supported by implementing mechanistic, computational methods. These methods can help to...

Coformer-Dependent Physical Stability in a Series of Naringenin-Based Coamorphous Materials with Caffeine, Theophylline, and Theobromine
ConclusionFive naringenin-based multi-component solids were generated in this study: 3 new CAMs, 1 new cocrystal, and 1 previously reported cocrystal. Destabilization of CAMs was found to be exposure specific and coformer dependent. (Source: Pharmaceutical Research)

A Physiology-Based Mathematical Model to Understand Drug Delivery from Contact Lenses to the Back of the Eye
ConclusionsThe model constitutes a first step towards the possibility of predicting the ocular drug distribution and the treatment efficacy in the early stage of contact lens development, and it may help reduce both the need forin vivo tests (with ethical and economic advantages) and the gap between the lens design and clinical application. It also allows for an improved understanding of drug transport in the eye.Graphical abstract (Source: Pharmaceutical Research)

Selection of Silica Type and Amount for Flowability Enhancements via Dry Coating: Contact Mechanics Based Predictive Approach
ConclusionSignificant flow enhancements were achieved at 50% SAC, validating previous models. Most uncoatedvery cohesive powders improved by two flow categories, attainingeasy flow. Flowability could not be predicted for both the uncoated and dry coated powders via particle size alone. Prediction was significantly better using Bond number computed via the mechanistic multi-asperity particle contact model accounting for the particle size, surface energy, roughness, and the amount and type of silica. The widely accepted 200  nm surface roughness was not valid for most pharmaceutical powders. (Source: Pharmaceutical Research)

Using the LeiCNS-PK3.0 Physiologically-Based Pharmacokinetic Model to Predict Brain Extracellular Fluid Pharmacokinetics in Mice
ConclusionThe current version of the mouse LeiCNS-PK3.0 model seems to reasonably predict available information on brainECF from healthy mice for most drugs. This brings the translation between mouse and human brain PK one step further. (Source: Pharmaceutical Research)
