摘要

The dissolution testing method described in the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) Chapter ⟨711⟩ is widely used for assessing the release of active pharmaceutical ingredients from solid dosage forms. However, extensive use over the years has revealed certain issues, including high experimental intervariability observed in specific formulations and the settling of particles in the dead zone of the vessel. To address these concerns and gain a comprehensive understanding of the hydrodynamic conditions within the USP 2 apparatus, computational fluid dynamic simulations have been employed in this study. The base design employed in this study is the 900 mL USP 2 vessel along with a paddle stirrer at a 50 rpm rotational speed. Additionally, alternative stirrer designs, including the hydrofoil, pitched blade, and Rushton impeller, are investigated. A comparison is also made between a flat-bottom tank and the USP round-bottom vessel of the same volume and diameter. Furthermore, this work examines the impact of various parameters, such as clearance distance (distance between the bottom of the impeller and bottom of the vessel), number of impeller blades, impeller diameter, and impeller attachment angle. The volume-average shear rate (Stv), fluid velocity (Utv), and energy dissipation rates (ϵtv) represent the key properties evaluated in this study. Comparing the USP2 design and systems with the same stirrer but flat-bottom vessel reveals more homogeneous mixing compared to the USP2 design. Analyzing fluid flow streamlines in different designs demonstrates that hydrofoil stirrers generate more suspension or upward movement of fluid compared to paddle stirrers. Therefore, when impellers are of a similar size, hydrofoil designs generate higher fluid velocities in the coning area. Furthermore, the angle of blade attachment to the hub influences the fluid velocity in the coning area in a way that the 60° angle design generates more suspension than the 45° angle design. The findings indicate that the paddle stirrer design leads to a heterogeneous shear rate and velocity distributions within the vessel compared with the other designs, suggesting suboptimal performance. These insights provide valuable guidance for the development of improved in vitro dissolution testing devices, emphasizing the importance of optimized design considerations to minimize hydrodynamic variability, enhance dissolution characterization, and reduce variability in dissolution test results. Ultimately, such advancements hold potential for improving in vitro–in vivo correlations in drug development.
