IND and each of the AAs were weighed and combined together at a 1:1 molar ratio, respectively. These mixtures were then dissolved in (i) ethanol and milliQ water; and (ii) acetone and milliQ water, each to give 250 mL of final solutions, respectively. The ethanol and water mixtures contained 95%, 90%, 80%, 60%, 40%, 10%, and 5% (v/v) ethanol. The acetone and water mixtures contained 85%, 70%, 55%, 45%, 30%, and 15% (v/v) of acetone. The concentration of IND–AA in the solutions varied from 1.92 mg/mL to 51.4 mg/mL (see Table 1), depending on the aqueous AA solubility and the solubility of IND in the organic solvent. SD was performed using a Büchi B-290 spray-dryer (Büchi Labortechnik AG, Flawil, Switzerland) equipped with an inert loop B-295 (Büchi Labortechnik AG, Flawil, Switzerland). For the ethanol-water samples, SD conditions were as follows: inlet temperature: 140 °C; outlet temperature: 90 °C; atomizing air flow rate: 667 L/h; drying air flow (nitrogen): 40 m3/h and feed flow rate: 9 mL/min. For the acetone-water samples, the inlet temperature was decreased to 135 °C and the outlet temperature was 75 °C. The outlet temperature was always maintained below the glass transition temperature of SD IND–AA mixtures.

Extraction and Spray Drying of Herbal Compounds

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
WEs were prepared as described in the previous article with modifications [25 –27 (link)]. Herbs (100 g) were extracted with water at a ratio of 1 : 10 (w/v) in a ceramic container and heated for 2 hours. After filtration, the extract and wet material were separated. The extraction process was repeated using water at a ratio of 1 : 8 (w/v) and the resulting material was heated for 1 hour. The two separate extracts were combined. The mixed extracts were concentrated using a rotary evaporator to yield a creamy solution with a density of 1.05 g/cm³. An appropriate amount of maltodextrin was added. Spray dryers have fast drying speeds and good product performance. Spraying atomizes the liquid material into dispersed particles, thereby increasing its surface area. Contacting hot air facilitates the drying process very quickly. A Buchi B-290 spray dryer (Buchi, Switzerland) was used to spray dry the mixture. The inlet and outlet temperatures were set to 175–205°C and 85–95°C, respectively. The WEs were collected. During processing of the WEs, the wet residues were collected and dried at 50°C to give the HRs. Figure 1 shows the procedure for preparing WEs and HRs.

Cocrystallization of FAV and THP

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Attempts to cocrystallize FAV with THP were made using rotary evaporation and spray drying. Equimolar amounts (0.89 mmol) of FAV (139.70 mg) and THP (160.30 mg) were dissolved in ethanol, followed by sonication until a clear solution was obtained. Preliminary cocrystal screening was carried out using a rotary evaporator (Buchi, Germany) under a vacuum with the rotary flask being immersed in a water bath at 60 °C. The resulting product was oven-dried at 60 °C for 3 h and gently triturated to a fine powder for further analysis. For the production of inhalable FAV-TPH cocrystal formulation, the solution was spray-dried using a Büchi B-290 spray dryer with a B-296 Dehumidifier and B-295 Inert Loop (Büchi Labortechnik, Flawil, Switzerland). Nitrogen was used as the drying gas. A total of 11 formulations of FAV-THP cocrystal powder were prepared under the conditions as listed in Table 2. The CPPs, (i.e., solute concentrations, feed rates, and compressed gas atomization flow rates) were examined, while other processing parameters were fixed: inlet temperature of 80 °C, and aspiration at approximately 35 m3/min [63 (link),66 (link)]. The resulting outlet temperature varied from 48–58 °C (Table S1). The final products were stored in tightly sealed collectors until further analysis.

Spray-Dried Colistin-Tobramycin Formulations

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A BÜCHI B-290 spray dryer (BÜCHI Labortechnik AG, Flawil, Switzerland) with a two-fluid nozzle (diameter 0.7 mm) was used to produce powder formulations. The spray drying parameters were chosen based on previous studies [29 (link), 34 (link)]. Feed solutions were prepared in purified water with a total solid content of 21.7 mg/mL. The feed solutions of combination formulations were obtained by mixing solutions of colistin and tobramycin at molar ratios of 1:1 and 1:5 (equivalent mass ratios of 7:3 and 3:7 respectively). These ratios were chosen because colistin and tobramycin at molar ratio 1:5 led to a significantly reduced toxicity to lung epithelial A549 cells [11 ]. The feed solutions were atomized into the drying chamber at 2 mL/min and dried using hot air at 120 ± 5°C that was aspirated at 35 m3/h. The air temperature at the chamber outlet was approximately 68 ± 3°C. The atomizing air flow rate was 0.7 m3/h.

Spray Drying of Microbial Cell Paste

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

Example 4

A cell paste is generated from NRRL No. B-50897 is dewatered typically by centrifugation. The cell paste is assumed to have 25% dry solids. 5% by weight of glycerol is added to the cell pellet and mixed. The viscosity of the cell pellet/glycerol mixture is sufficiently reduced to allow efficient spray drying, for example, through the addition of water (usually 1-2 parts water to 1 part cell mixture). Sodium lignosulfonate, at 5% by weight of cell pellet is added to enhance dispersibility and/or wettability following spray drying.

Additional carriers may be added to the mixture prior to spray drying to enhance cell survival. These carriers are typically sugars or sugar derivatives, including lactose, maltodextrin, or corn starch. The amount of carrier added can vary but a typical amount is 5% based on starting cell pellet weight.

The spray dryer feed is fed into the spray dryer nozzle via a peristaltic pump. Lab studies were conducted using a Buchi B-290 spray dryer. Spray dryer parameters are pump speed, atomization pressure, inlet temperature, and aspirator air flow %. Most experiments were run using the following settings: Atomization pressure (Q-flow): 35 mm; Inlet temperature: 115° C.; Aspirator air flow %: 100; Pump speed: 30%.

The spray dried powder is collected.

The LHPs were produced by spray drying using a B-290 spray dryer (Büchi, Switzerland) with a 2.0 mm two-fluid nozzle, and the spray dryer was operated in closed-loop blowing mode with the application of a B-295 inert loop (Büchi, Switzerland). Firstly, CsA was ultrasonically dissolved in a mixture of ethanol and water with a volume ratio of 50:50 at a concentration of 2.0 mg/mL. Secondly, LEU was ultrasonically dissolved in the CsA solution to reach a concentration of 0.4 mg/mL. Thirdly, HPMC was ultrasonically dissolved in the above solution to obtain concentrations of 0.4, 0.8, 1.2, 1.6, or 2.0 mg/mL. In some cases, AB as a porogen was added at a concentration of 2.0 mg/mL under ultrasound before spray drying to minimize its decomposition. The formulations are shown in Table 1. The parameter settings of B-290 were as follows: 170 °C inlet temperature, 20% feed pump rate, 100% aspirator rate, and 414 L/h gas flow rate.

Bedaquiline fumarate (BDQ) was dissolved with or without leucine (100:0 or 85:15 BDQ:LEU) at a total solids concentration of 2.35 mg mL−1 in 80:10:10 DI water:EtOH:DMF. The solution was spray dried using a Buchi B-290 spray dryer with a high-efficiency cyclone and two-fluid nozzle (inner orifice = 0.7 mm, outer orifice = 1.5 mm). Spray drying parameters included an inlet temperature, aspirator, liquid feed rate, and N2 spray gas rate of 170 °C, 90%, 3 mL min−1, and 1744 L h−1, respectively. This resulted in an outlet temperature of 75–80 °C. Additionally, 80:20 DI water:DMF was run through the system for 60 s every 20 min. A dehumidifier was placed adjacent to the B-290 air inlet, where room temperature and relative humidity were maintained at 24–27 °C and 20–25%, respectively. The spray-dried powders were collected and stored at room temperature with desiccant.
