ABSTRACT Introduction: Present study is focused to develop micro emulsion based helped in identifying identification robust design parameters for rapid nasal formulation of poorly water soluble antipsychotic/anti-schizophrenic development of stable aripiprazole micro emulsion. The critical quality drug Aripiprazole. Materials and Methods: Different surfactants and co attributes (CQAs) like solubility and compatibility with excipients, dosage surfactants are screened by implementing pseudo ternary phase diagram. form, particle size, turbidity, drug content and drug release have greater Effect of concentrations of four independent variables- oil (X1), Surfactant impact on the stability and therapeutic performance of micro emulsion of (X2), co-surfactant (X3) and water (X4) on two dependent variables- aripiprazole. Conclusion: Aripiprazole containing intranasal micro emulsion particle size (Y1) and drug content (Y2) is studied from surface response is successfully developed by quality by design approach for understanding the critical quality attributes and microemulsion is better alternative over plots obtained by application of Box Behnken Design Experiment. conventional delivery systems.

Risk assessment DOI: 10.5330/ijpi.2020.3.52 INTRODUCTION Aripiprazole is an atypical antipsychotic drug with chemical name Present work is focused on QBD approach based development of 7-[4-[4-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)-1-piperazinyl]butoxy]-3,4-dihydro-2(1H) effective intranasal drug delivery system for Aripiprazole in the form of quinolinone.1 It belongs to the chemical class of benzisoxazole derivatives micro emulsion. and is indicated for the management of schizophrenia. Study revealed that Aripiprazole have high affinity towards D2, D3 - Dopamine and 5 - MATERIALS AND METHODS HT serotonin receptors.2 However, the exact root cause of Schizophrenia 7 Materials is still unclear, Aripiprazole have shown significant improvement in Positive and negative symptoms in schizophrenic patients which Gift sample of Aripirazole was provided by Alembic Pharmaceuticals, indirectly suggests that dopamine and serotonin agonists helps in Vadodara. The organic solvents, excipients and other chemicals of management of schizophrenia by restoring dopamine level in frontal analytical grade were procured from S.D Fine chemicals Pvt. Ltd. cortex region of brain.2 Based on the extremely low hydrophobicity (<1 Mumbai, India. Design of Experiment (DOE), Version 7 was used for μg/mL at room temperature) and lipophilicity, it is classified as a class IV assessment of design to study optimization. Prosim software was used compound according to Biopharmaceutical Classification System (BCS). for constructing pseudo ternary diagram. It is also found that due to poor solubility drug accumulates in body Methods by 99% binding with plasma protein.3 If the solubility of Aripiprazole is enhanced, it can reduce dose frequency as well as drug deposition; also Solubility Studies enhance bioavailability of drug at targeted site.3 To select the best oil/surfactant/co surfactant for preparation of micro Micro emulsion technique offers a promising solution for solubilisation emulsion, saturated solubility studies were carried out in different oils/ of such drugs during formulation.4 Intranasal route is one of the surfactants/co surfactants.8 Excess amount of Aripiprazole was added to advanced approaches to deliver antipsychotic or neuroprotective drug 200 mg of each oil/surfactant/co surfactant in glass vial. Mixtures were directly to brain via olfactory and trigeminal nerves through cavity solicited in solicitor for 30 min. Mixture containing vials were kept in by avoiding blood brain barrier hurdle.5 QBD is now an integral part orbital shaker for 72 hr to form homogenous mixture. Samples were of formulation development at lab as well as industrial level because centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 15 min. from supernatant liquid 0.1 ml of factorial design gives best optimized batch for pilot plant scale up.6,7 solution was pipette out and diluted with ethanol.

Aripiprazole. Globule size determination: The globule size was determined using photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS) with in-built Zetasizer). The Pseudo Ternary Phase Diagram instrument is based on the principle of dynamic light scattering (DLS). The pseudo ternary phase diagrams were developed by the water The technique measures particle diffusion due to Brownian motion and titration method.8 Aliquots of each surfactant and co surfactant mixture relates this to the size of the particles. The particle size is then calculated (Smix) were mixed with the oil at ambient temperature in a (2:1, 1:2, 1:1) from the translational diffusion coefficient using the Strokes-Einstein 16 ratio. For each phase diagram, the ratio of oil to the Smix was varied as 9:1, equation. 8:2, 7:3, 6:4, 5:5, 4:6, 3:7, 2:8, 1:9 (v/v).
