Table 6.4: A comparison <strong>of</strong> T 1 relaxation times <strong>for</strong> drug and drug/polymer solutions.SamplePropanolol HClPropanolol HCl/ Eudragit L-100Diphenhydramine HClDiphenhydramine HCl / Eudragit L-1001 H NMR T 1 range <strong>of</strong> drug protons1.0 - 3.7 seconds0.05 – 0.5 seconds1.5 – 4.3 seconds0.4 – 1.6 seconds4.0 ConclusionsHME h<strong>as</strong> successfully been employed <strong>as</strong> a robust <strong>technique</strong> to <strong>for</strong>m solid dispersions<strong>of</strong> both APIs into polymer matrix through intermolecular interactions. The existence <strong>of</strong>amorphous APIs into <strong>the</strong> polymer matrices h<strong>as</strong> been confirmed by <strong>the</strong>rmal analysis. TheNMR method and molecular modelling indicated <strong>the</strong> presence <strong>of</strong> intermolecular interactionsbetween drug and polymer molecules. The XPS analysis h<strong>as</strong> finally confirmed <strong>the</strong>mechanism <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> interaction through H-bonding between <strong>the</strong> carboxyl group <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> anionicmethacrylate co-polymer and <strong>the</strong> amide group <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> active substances.5.0 References1) Maniruzzaman, M.; Rana, M.
