Case Study

Multifunctional Role of Polyvinylpyrrolidone in Pharmaceutical Preparations

Luo Y, et al. AAPS PharmSciTech, 2021, 22. 1-16.

In the pharmaceutical field, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) can be used as an adhesive, coating agent, suspending agent, pore-forming agent, solubilizer and stabilizer, etc., thanks to its inert, non-toxic and biocompatible properties. characteristic. PVP of different molecular weights and concentrations can be used in a variety of formulations for different uses. The multifunctional role of PVP in pharmaceutical formulations can mostly be explained by its viscosity, solubility, hydrophilicity and hydrogen bond-forming abilities.
The main applications of PVP in the medical field
· Improve the bioavailability of drugs: keeping amorphous state; increasing surface area; increasing drug wettability.
· Improve the stability of drugs: increasing the viscosity; generating steric barriers; interactions between molecules.
· Improve the physical and mechanical properties: rigid/hygroscopic/hydrophilic properties; surface modification; high plastic deformation.
· Regulate the rate of drug release: pores formation after dissolution; formation of viscous layer.
· Prolong the in vivo circulation time of liposomes.

Application of Polyvinylpyrrolidone in Nanoparticle Synthesis

Kallum M. Koczkur, et al. Dalton Trans., 2015, 44, 17883-17905.

In colloidal nanoparticle synthesis, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) can be used as a surface stabilizer, growth regulator, nanoparticle dispersant, and reducing agent.
Examples of PVP in colloidal nanoparticle synthesis
· PVP in the synthesis of metallic NPs: PVP is widely used as a stabilizing and shape-directing agent in the polyol synthesis of metallic NPs. Examples of these NPs include plasmonic elements (Ag, Au, Cu), catalytic elements (Pd, Pt), magnetic elements (Co, Ni) and bimetallic compositions (Au-M, PtM).
· PVP in the synthesis of metal oxide NPs: These oxides include compounds as iron oxides, more complex ferrites, as well as other transition metal and main group metal oxides, but also rare-earth metal oxides.
· Metal chalcogenide nanostructures with PVP: PVP serves as an excellent stabilizer and shape-directing agent also during metal chalcogenide (MC) NPs synthesis preventing their aggregation and passivating surface states. Furthermore, the use of PVP can enhance the optical properties of MC NPs under certain conditions.
