Résumé en anglais

Active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) and excipients are often classified as 'brittle' or 'ductile' based on their yield pressure determined through the Heckel analysis. Such a brittle/ductile classification is often correlated to some measure of elasticity, die-wall stresses, and brittle fracture propensities from studies performed with a handful of model excipients. This subsequently gives rise to the presumption that all ductile materials behave similarly to microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) and that all brittle materials to lactose, mannitol, or dicalcium phosphate. Such a 'one-size-fits-all' approach can subsequently lead to inaccurate classification of APIs, which often behave very differently than these model excipients. This study compares the commonly reported mechanical metrics of two proprietary APIs and two classical model excipients. We demonstrate that materials classified as 'ductile' by Heckel's 'standards' may behave very differently than MCC and in some cases may even have a propensity for brittle failure. Our data highlight the complexity of APIs and the need to evaluate a set of mechanical metrics, instead of binary assignments of ductility or brittleness based on quantities that do not fully capture the tableting process, to truly optimize a tablet formulation as part of the overall target product profile.< Réduire
