Modular microfluidic platform for solubility measurement, nucleation statistics and polymorph screening of active pharmaceutical ingredients: Irbesartan, Rimonabant, Aripiprazole and Sulfathiazole

Résumé

Drug efficacy strongly relies on the solid state of the active pharmaceutical ingredient. Classical solid-state screening methods involve different solvent compositions and supersaturations. Moreover, the many repeat experiments needed to address the stochasticity of nucleation make this approach costly. This paper presents a newly developed modular microfluidic platform that provides a universal and flexible plug-and-play tool for crystallisation studies without use of surfactants. By dissolving a powder, our setup generates saturated solutions that can be used for solubility measurements or distributed in microdroplets. Here, we describe solubility measurements performed on different forms, stable and metastable, of pharmaceutical molecules (Irbesartan, Rimonabant and Aripiprazole) in organic and aqueous solvents. In addition, we provide nucleation statistics obtained for Sulfathiazole in water and in acetonitrile. Reporting polymorph screening on Sulfathiazole and statistics for nucleated forms, we find that the cooling rate influences both nucleation and polymorphism results, reflecting the competition between thermodynamics and kinetics. Three unknown forms were discovered, with XRD patterns and Raman spectra that do not match any referenced form. We also demonstrate the limitations of microfluidics for crystallisation by cooling: reducing the crystalliser volume considerably increases nucleation induction time.
