Phase Behavior of Ketoprofen−Poly(lactic acid) Drug Particles Formed by Rapid Expansion of Supercritical Solutions
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The present contribution investigates whether it is possible to form stable amorphous particles of ketoprofen-poly(lactic acid), naproxen-poly(lactic acid), and indomethacin-poly(lactic acid). Amorphization and micronization of these poorly water-soluble drugs offer a combined way to improve the solubility and enhance the dissolution rate. The particles were formed by pulsed rapid expansion of supercritical CO(2) solutions and characterized in the aerosol phase with rapid-scan infrared spectroscopy and after collection with scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. None of the three drug-poly(lactic acid) mixtures showed long-term stability on the order of weeks against the reversion from the amorphous to the crystalline state. Ketoprofen was the only drug that formed mixed amorphous particles with at least short-term stability. The long-term products turned out to be submicrometer- to micrometer-sized particles with a crystalline drug core and an amorphous poly(lactic acid) shell. Moreover, we found that the poly(lactic acid) coating stabilizes the particles against agglomeration.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
