Összefoglaló szövege

Introduction: Melt-spinning is a widely used technology applied in various industries, including construction, textiles, and food, thereby opening the possibility of its application in the pharmaceutical field. Microfibrous systems provide several benefits in pharmaceutical technology, such as enabling instantaneous dissolution due to their high specific surface area and amorphous structure, making them suitable for the development of innovative new drug forms.

Aim: The aim of the present study was to produce isomalt-based microfibers containing ibuprofen sodium with enhanced resistance to environmental humidity. An additional objective was to monitor potential physico-chemical changes occurring during fiber formation and subsequent treatment through both microstructural and macrostructural analyses.

Materials and Methods: The preparation of the fibers required the formulation of a homogeneous premix to ensure uniform distribution of all components. Following melt-spinning, the fibers were exposed to ethanol vapor treatment in order to improve their stability and resistance to environmental humidity. The macrostructure of the fibers was evaluated using a digital microscope, allowing observation of their morphology and overall structure. Microstructural properties were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray powder diffraction to assess thermal behavior and solid-state characteristics. In addition, in vitro solubility testing was performed on fibers containing ibuprofen sodium to evaluate their dissolution behavior.

Results: The study resulted in the successful production of drug-containing microfibers that exhibited a high degree of resistance to ambient humidity. The fibers maintained their structural integrity and stability under varying environmental conditions, confirming the effectiveness of the applied preparation and stabilization methods.

Conclusion: Drug-containing microfibers were successfully developed with favorable structural and stability characteristics. These systems may facilitate further pharmaceutical processing and provide a basis for the development of innovative dosage forms with improved performance.

Funding: This work was supported by SE 250+ Excellence PhD Scholarship Application.
