Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods for making extended-release formulations of water-soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients such as metformin HCl. In one aspect, the disclosure provides a method that includes adding an aqueous solution of an active pharmaceutical ingredient to an agitated mixture of one or more release-modifying polymers and optionally one or more binders in one or more organic solvents, the one or more organic solvents together being an antisolvent for the active pharmaceutical ingredient, water being sufficiently soluble in the one or more organic solvents such that the water added as part of the aqueous solution dissolves in the mixture, the addition thereby precipitating the active pharmaceutical ingredient; separating the active pharmaceutical ingredient and the one or more release-modifying polymers and, if present, the one or more binders from the one or more organic solvents to yield co-processed particles; and drying the co-processed particles.

Abstract: A process for the production of a formulation of HIV attachment inhibitor piperazine tris salt prodrug compound involves dissolving the prodrug compound in a solvent to form a solution; adding a first quantity of a first anti-solvent to the solution; then dispersing a first quantity of HPMC in the solution; adding a second quantity of the first anti-solvent to the solution; dispersing a second quantity of HPMC in the solution; then adding a second anti-solvent to the solution so as to crystallize the compound with the HPMC and thereby form the formulation, wherein the second anti-solvent is a combination of acetone and isopropyl acetate (IPAC). The formulation is then washed, and dried.

Abstract: A process is provided for making sterile aripiprazole having an average particle size less than 100 microns but preferably greater than 25 microns employing an impinging jet crystallization procedure. The resulting bulk aripiprazole of desired particle size may be used to form a sterile freeze-dried aripiprazole formulation, which upon constitution with water and intramuscular injection releases aripiprazole over a period of at least about one week and up to about eight weeks.
