The focus of current studies was to fabricate dose flexible printlets of dapsone (DDS) for pediatric patients by selective laser sintering (SLS) 3D printing method, and evaluate its physicochemical, patient in-use stability, and pharmacokinetic attributes. Eight formulations were fabricated using Kollicoat(®) IR, Eudragit(®) L-100-55 and StarCap(®)as excipients and evaluated for hardness, disintegration, dissolution, amorphous phase by differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray powder diffraction, in-use stability at 30 (o)C/75% RH for a month, and pharmacokinetic study in Sprague Dawley rats. The hardness, and disintegration of the printlets varied from 2.6±1.0 (F4) to 7.7±0.9 (F3) N and 2.0±0.4 (F2) to 7.6±0.6 (F3) sec, respectively. The drug was partially present as an amorphous form in the printlets. The drug was completely (>85%) dissolved in 20 min. No change in drug form or dissolution extent was observed after storage at in use condition. Pharmacokinetic profiles of both formulations (tablets and printlets) were almost superimposable with no statistical difference in pharmacokinetic parameters (T(max), C(max), and AUC(0-)(¥))between formulations (p>0.05). Values of EC(50) (half maximal effective concentration) and EC(90) (maximal concentration inducing 90% maximal response) were 0.50±0.15 and 1.32±0.26 mM, 0.41±0.06 and 1.11±0.21, and 0.42±0.13 and 1.36±0.19 mM for DDS, printlet and tablet formulations, respectively, and differences were statistically insignificant (p>0.05). In conclusion, tablet and printlet formulations are expected to be clinical similar, thus clinically interchangeable.
