INTRODUCTION
INCOMPATIBILITY -Definition -3 Types OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY -Why to screen excipients? 1.need to minimize no of model formulations 2.provide rational basis for selecting excipients 3.Formulation stability studies are time consuming. -Goal of the study( Identify the excipients that) 1.are compatible with API 2.do not have impact on the stability of API -Importance 1.Stabity of formulation can be maximised. 2.Helps to avoid surprise problems. 3.Essential for IND submission. 4.Bridges drug discovery and drug development
COMPATIBILITY TESTS
2 Aspects of compatibility tests are: 1. Identification of compatible excipients for a formulation. 2. Identification of stable storage conditions 2 Types: 1. Solid state reactions: - much slower and difficult to interpret. 2. Liquid state reactions: - easier to detect - Acc. to Stability Guidelines by FDA following conditions should be evaluated for solutions or suspensions 1. Acidic or alkaline pH. 2. Presence of added substances 3. High oxygen and nitrogen atmospheres. 4. Effect of stress testing conditions.
SAMPLE PREPARATION
FOR SOLID STATE REACTIONS: SampleA: -mixture of drug and excipient SampleB: -SampleA+ 5% moisture SampleC: -Drug itself without excipients o All the samples of drug-excipient blends are kept for 1-3 weeks at specified storage conditions. o Then sample is physically observed . o It is then assayed by TLC or HPLC or DSC. o Whenever feasible, the degradation product are identified by MASS SPECTROSCOPY, NMR or other relevant analytical techniques. o To determine Solid state stability profile of a new compound. o To test the Surface Oxidation..
SAMPLE PREPARATION
FOR LIQUID STATE REACTIONS: o Place the drug in the solution of additives. o Both flint and amber vials are used. o This will provide information about -Susceptibility to oxidation. -Susceptibility to light exposure. -Susceptibility to heavy metals. o In case of oral liquids, compatibility with ethanol, glycerin ,sucrose, preservatives and buffers are usually carried out.
STORAGE CONDITION
The storage conditions used to examine compatibility can very widely in term of temp. & humidity, but a temp. of 50c for storage of compatibility sample is considered appropriate. Some compounds may require high temp. to make reaction proceed at a rate that can be measured over a convenient time period.

Trace 1 of figure 1-4 shows peak at 278.330C. (melting endothermic peak of Ofloxacin). Trace 3 (Physical mixture of Ofloxacin & Lactose) shows absence of peak at 278.330C and slight pre shift in Lactose peaks. DSC RESULT-- INCOMPATIBLE
11
Trace 5 (Physical mixture of Ofloxacin & Starch) shows an early onset at 268.370C. But no other changes in thermogram. DSC RESULT-- COMPATIBLE
12
Trace 7 (Physical mixture of Ofloxacin & PVP) shows no change in position of endothermic peak for PVP but there is increase in peak area and size & shape of peak for Ofloxacin is also decreased. DSC RESULT-- INCOMPATIBLE
13
Trace 9 (Physical mixture of Ofloxacin & Talc) shows combine features of each component but there are evident changes in onset. DSC RESULT-- COMPATIBLE

LIMITATIONS OF DSC
o If thermal changes are very small, DSC cant be used. o DSC can not detect the incompatibilities which occur after long term storage. Eg. MCC / ASPIRIN o Not applicable if test material exhibits properties that make data interpretation difficult. o ADVANTAGES: -Fast -Reliable and very less sample required.

PRINCIPLE:For different mobile phases (i.e. different excipients) the injected drug have different interactions (may be repulsive or attractive) with the SP of drug leads to shift in retention time (Rt)

FIGURE-3
When attractive interactions,it will have longer retention time& wider peak

Principle: samples of solutions and pure solvent are introduced into a temperature-controlled enclosure, which is saturated with solvent vapor.Since the vapor pressure of solution is lower than that of solvent, solvent vapor condenses on solution sample causing its temperature to rise. The temperature rise is predicted by Clausis Clapcyron equation. Characteristics: Either liquid or solid sample and must be soluble in organic solvent or in water Sample must not undego association in solution. Sample size is approx. 3 gms for multiple analysis. Measures a no. of avg. mole. Wt. of about 10,000 Daltons. This method measures interactions, & records the interaction caused by variation of particle no.

INCOMPATIBLE IMPURITIES
o Chemical impurity profiles -Very important in influencing the long term chemical stability. Eg:(1) Evaluation of Hydroperoxides ( HPO) in common pharmaceutical excipients. POVIDONE Contains substantial conc. PEG 400 of HPOs with significant HPC batch to batch or mfger POLYSORBATE 80 to mfger variations. o While MCC, Lactose, High M.wt PEG, Polyxamer contains less amt. of HPOs. o 5% PVP responsible for N-oxide formation of Raloxifen HCl, due to high HPO content.

(2) DCP Sometimes, IRON may be present in DCP as impurities. It is incompatible with MECLIZINE HCl . (Fe NMT 0.04%) (3)Gelatin is also containing IRON as impurities, Dark spots may occur in the shell due to the migration of water soluble iron sensitive ingredients from fill material into the shell.

Example2:-

o Propellent 11 is trichloromonofluoromethane.
o HCl corrodes the Al-container.
38
-Hydrogen produced in the reaction increases the pressure of the container.So drugs containing polar solvents tend to be corrosive to bare Al. oFor containers which contain 2%Tin and 98% Lead
-Lead reacts with the fatty acids(for product cont.soaps) to form Lead salts which cause valve clogging.

Cosolvants
Polysorbate 80: One must concern about the residual peroxide present in Polysorbate. PS 80 Polyoxyethylene sorbitan ester of Oleic acid ( Unsatd.F.A) PS 20 Polyoxyethylene sorbitan ester of lauric acid ( Satd.F.A) So PS 20 is less prone to oxidation than PS 80. Sorbitol Increase the degradation rate of Penicillin in Neutral and Aqueous solutions. Glycerol Increase the mobility of freeze-dried formulation leading to peptide deamidation.
