Abstract
Amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) are commonly used to enhance the oral absorption of drugs with solubility or dissolution rate limitations. Although the ASD formulation is typically constrained by physical stability and in vivo performance considerations, ASD particles can be engineered using the spray-drying process to influence mechanical and flow properties critical to tableting. Using the ASD formulation of 20% w/w felodipine dispersed in polyvinyl pyrrolidone vinyl acetate, spray-drying atomization and drying conditions were tuned to achieve 4 different powders with varying particle properties. The resulting particles ranged in volume moment mean diameter from 4 to 115 μm, bulk density from 0.05 to 0.38 g cm
