By comparing <strong>the</strong> Tgs at different loadings, INM showed a pl<strong>as</strong>ticization effect <strong>for</strong>Soluplus. By analyzing <strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong>rmograms <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> INM/S630 extrudates (Fig. 2.5d) it w<strong>as</strong>concluded that INM w<strong>as</strong> also molecularly dispersed in <strong>the</strong> carrier due to <strong>the</strong> single Tg at 56.57 o Cand <strong>the</strong> absence <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> drug <strong>melt</strong>ing endo<strong>the</strong>rm.Fig. 2.5d: DSC <strong>the</strong>rmograms <strong>of</strong> INM and FMT with Pl<strong>as</strong>done S630 (physical mixtures andextrudates).Fur<strong>the</strong>r evaluation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> DSC <strong>the</strong>rmograms <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> FMT – polymer extrudates confirmed<strong>the</strong> existence <strong>of</strong> gl<strong>as</strong>sy solid solutions <strong>for</strong> all <strong>for</strong>mulations. For each binary mixture only a singleTg w<strong>as</strong> observed without any endo<strong>the</strong>rmic peak related to FMT (Fig. 2.5e).
