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.

Disintegrant / Superdisintergrant
From powder to tablets: Investigation of residence time distributions in a continuous manufacturing…
The essence of Continuous Manufacturing (CM) resides in the fact that continuous process units are directly connected to each other forming a continuous process train. The thorough understanding of material flow in this train based on suitable sensors, including on-line process analytical…

Temperature: an overlooked factor in tablet disintegration
Disintegration is the first event in the bioavailability cascade after the ingestion of immediate release tablets. Although the influence of various physico-chemical parameters of media on tablet disintegration has been investigated in depth, the role of temperature has received much less attention.…

In-line temperature measurement to improve the understanding of the wetting phase in twin-screw wet…
Wetting is the initial stage of wet granulation processes during which the first contact between the powder and the liquid occurs. Wetting is a critical step to allow granule growth and consolidation, but also to ensure uniform active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) distribution over all granule…

Metformin Hydrochloride- and Glyburide-Containing Orally Disintegrating Tablets
Diabetes is characterized by chronic hyperglycemia. Although metformin hydrochloride (MHCl)- and glyburide (GLB)-containing conventional tablets are available in the market and used to treat diabetes, orally disintegrating tablets (ODTs) containing the combination of these drugs are not commercially…

Functionality of disintegrants with different mechanisms after roll compaction
The aim of this study was to investigate the functionality of two disintegrants (crospovidone and croscarmellose sodium) in tablet formulations processed via roll compaction and subsequent tableting. The influence of different fillers and the effect of sodium lauryl sulfate on the disintegration…

Co-processed Excipient for Direct Compression Designed for Orally Disintegrating Tablets
Developing orally disintegrating tablets (ODTs) is a worldwide trend. In recent years, new excipients and excipient blends have enabled manufacturers to produce ODTs using conventional equipment, i.e., blenders and tablet presses. One such product is GRANFILLER-D, a co-processed excipient for direct…

Compaction behavior of isomalt after roll compaction
Isomalt is a polyol derived from sucrose. Advantages of this excipient are its sweet taste, which is supposed to allow taste masking, the low glycemic and insulinemic response (Petzoldt, 1982), and the ability to be compacted directly. With regard to infantile patients, also the lack of…
