Abstract
© Copyright 2018 American Chemical Society. The problem of predicting small molecule-polymer compatibility is relevant to many areas of chemistry and pharmaceutical science but particularly drug delivery. Computational methods based on Hildebrand and Hansen solubility parameters, and the estimation of the Flory-Huggins parameter, χ, have proliferated across the literature. Focusing on the need to develop amorphous solid dispersions to improve the bioavailability of poorly soluble drug candidates, an innovative, high-throughput 2D printing method has been employed to rapidly assess the compatibility of 54 drug-polymer pairings (nine drug compounds in six polymers). In this study, the first systematic assessment of the in silico methods for this application, neither the solubility parameter approach nor the calculated χ, correctly predicted drug-polymer compatibility. The theoretical limitations of the solubility parameter approach are discussed and used to explain why this approach is fundamentally unsuitable for predicting polymer-drug interactions. Examination of the original sources describing the method for calculating χ shows that only the enthalpic contributions to the term have been included, and the corrective entropic term is absent. The development and application of new in silico techniques, that consider all parts of the free energy of mixing, are needed in order to usefully predict small molecule-polymer compatibility and to realize the ambition of a drug-polymer screening method.
