In this study, surface diffusion of l-aspartic acid-carvedilol (ASP-CAR) co-amorphous systems at different ASP concentrations is measured and correlated with their physical stability. ASP-CAR films at ASP concentrations of 1-5% (w/w) were prepared by a newly developed method based on a vacuum compression molding process. Surface diffusion measurements were conducted on these systems based on the surface grating decay method using atomic force microscopy (AFM). The results demonstrate that a small amount of ASP (i.e., ≤ 5% w/w) in the co-amorphous systems could significantly slow down the grating decay process compared with that of pure amorphous CAR, indicating a reduced surface diffusion of CAR molecules. The decay time gradually increased in co-amorphous systems with increasing ASP concentration from 1 to 5% (w/w), with the longest observed decay time of around 800 h for the 5%ASP-CAR system, which was more than 200 times longer compared to the decay time of pure amorphous CAR (approximately 3 h). A good correlation between the decay constants of the pure amorphous CAR and co-amorphous films at ASP concentrations of 1-5% (w/w) and the physical stability of corresponding amorphous powder samples was found. Overall, this study provides a new method to prepare co-amorphous films for surface property measurements and reveals the impact of surface diffusion on the physical stability of co-amorphous systems.
