Fig. 7.5d: N 1s BE peaks <strong>of</strong> DPD and DPD b<strong>as</strong>ed extruded <strong>for</strong>mulations.Fur<strong>the</strong>rmore, <strong>the</strong> calculations <strong>of</strong> N coefficients <strong>for</strong> all extruded <strong>for</strong>mulations indicated<strong>the</strong> strength <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> intermolecular interactions within <strong>the</strong> solid dispersions. The calculated Ncoefficient <strong>for</strong> all extruded <strong>for</strong>mulations is summerized in table 3. From <strong>the</strong> Table 7.5 it quiteclearer that <strong>the</strong> N coefficient values <strong>for</strong> L100 systems are smaller than that <strong>of</strong> L100-55systems. It h<strong>as</strong> been reported that <strong>the</strong> lower <strong>the</strong> N-coefficient, <strong>the</strong> higher <strong>the</strong> amount <strong>of</strong>protonised N atoms in cationic drugs, <strong>the</strong> stronger <strong>the</strong> interaction between polymer and APIs[39] .Table 7.5: Estimated N coefficient values <strong>of</strong> different <strong>for</strong>mulations.Formulations N 1s Binding Energy Calculated N Coefficient1 st Fitting (eV) 2 nd Fitting (eV)PRP/L100 63 100 0.63PRP/L100-55 58.51 49.49 1.18DPD/L100 45.97 54.03 0.85DPD/L100-55 51.19 48.81 1.05146 | P a g e
