Disintegrants and superdisintegrant excipients are essential components used in the pharmaceutical industry to enhance the dissolution and bioavailability of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). These excipients facilitate the disintegration and rapid breakup of tablets or capsules, which ultimately increases their rate of absorption in the body.

Various Adsorbent Carriers used for Enhancing Dissolution Profile – A Review
In recent times, a large number of studies concerning the improvement of the dissolution rate of poorly water-soluble drugs are focused on the application of various porous materials as the drug carriers. These materials have attracted the attention of researchers owing to their outstanding…

Effect of particle size and deformation behaviour on water ingress into tablets
Drug release performance of tablets is often highly dependent on disintegration, and water ingress is typically the rate-limiting step of the disintegration process. Water ingress into tablets is known to be highly influenced by the microstructure of the tablet, particularly tablet porosity. Initial…

Utilization of natural superdisintegrants in mouth dissolving tablet: A simplified review
Many drugs belong to BCS class-2 having poor solubility in water requires enhancement in solubility and dissolution rate for increasing its oral bioavailability; however, in many cases, immediate onset of action is required than conventional therapy. Tablet is the most popular among all dosage forms…

Development of Low Dose Micro-tablets by High Shear Wet Granulation Process
Low dose micro-tablets with acceptable quality attributes, specifically content uniformity (CU), would not only enhance the dose flexibility in the clinic, but also decrease excipient burden in pediatric population. Considering the CU challenges associated with directly compressed low dose…

Cushioning Pellets based on Microcrystalline Cellulose – Crospovidone Blends for MUPS Tableting
Compaction of multiple-unit pellet system (MUPS) tablets has been extensively reported to be potentially challenging. Thus, there is a need for non-segregating cushioning agents to mitigate the deleterious effect of the compaction forces. This study was designed to investigate the use of porous…

continuous twin screw granulation and fluid bed drying: a mechanistic scaling approach focusing…
This study provides the results of investigation on scaling approaches for three differently-sized continuous granulation lines, each consisting of a twin screw wet granulation process and a continuous fluid bed drying process. To check the initial scaling approach with regard to granule and tablet…
