The aim of this study was to comprehensively evaluate drug release mechanisms from ASDs with polymers of varying hydrophobicity as a function of drug loading. Surface normalized dissolution rates of drug and polymer were studied for felodipine ASDs with polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyvinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate (PVPVA), Eudragit S 100 (EUDS), hydroxypropylmethylcellulose and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose acetate succinate as a function of drug loading. The water sorption profiles and water contact angle measurements suggested the following rank order for hydrophobicity of the different polymers: HPMCAS ≃ EUDS > HPMC > PVPVA > PVP. For ASDs with more hydrophobic polymers (HPMCAS and EUDS), the dissolution rate of both drug and polymer was polymer-controlled for drug loadings as high as 50%, with a more gradual decline in drug release rate at higher drug loadings. Notably, at low drug loadings and across the different polymers, when the polymer dictated the drug release rate, ASDs prepared with the most hydrophilic polymers showed the fastest drug release. This suggested a trade-off in choosing between higher release rates with more hydrophilic polymers at low drug loadings and higher drug loadings achievable with more hydrophobic polymers at the expense of lowered release rates. The findings described herein have significant implications for rational selection of polymers for formulation of ASDs with high drug loading and enhanced dissolution performance.
