Abstract
Stability of drugs and products has a great practical interest, which is facing to strict regulation. Thermal studies, besides the determination of the thermal properties of the investigated product allow the verification of possible interactions between the drug substances and excipients. The objective of this work was to obtain solid pre-formulates of paracetamol (PC) by spray drying (SPDR), as well as to investigate their thermal behavior. Dynamic and isotherm TG, conventional DSC and DSC-photovisual coupled methods were used to characterize the conventional and pre-formulated mixtures obtained by SPDR. The results of both DSC investigations showed slight alterations in melting temperatures, which suggests incompatibilities. The TG decomposition data of the mixtures evidenced that the dry process via SPDR leads to stability enhancement of the pre-formulated mixtures.
