Granulation
Using a material database and data fusion method to accelerate the process model development of high…
High shear wet granulation (HSWG) has been wildly used in manufacturing of oral solid dosage (OSD) forms, and process modeling is vital to understanding and controlling this complex process. In this paper, data fusion and multivariate modeling technique were applied to develop a…

Formulation and Evaluation of Tablets Compressed from Granules Prepared by Thermoplastic Granulation
The granulation technique and the binder have an essential influence not only on the granules properties, but also on the properties of the final dosage form. Thermoplastic granulation is a process in which solid particles are converted into agglomerates in the presence of a molten binder. Upon…

Twin-screw Melt Granulation as alternative Granulation Strategy
Melt granulation is an interesting alternative technique to produce both, immediate and controlled-release final products using twin-screw extruders. The aim of this current work was to gain a deeper understanding of the granule’s characteristic obtained from TSMG and their influence on further…

Binder-free twin-screw melt granulation: an effective approach to manufacture high-dose API…
This study investigates the use of twin-screw binder-free melt granulation (BFMG) in the development of high-dose solid dose formulations for low melting point thermally stable drugs. Both ibuprofen and guaifenesin are examined. By granulating pure API powder, it is shown that BFMG can successfully…

Preparation of seeded granules to improve mechanical properties and various drug loading for…
The present work explores the pharmaceutical application of a novel seeded granulation to develop properties-improved, high drug-loaded, and sustained-release tablets using hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC) as a binder. Itraconazole, 4-acetamidophenol, and rifaximin were selected as model drugs. They…

TPLS as predictive platform for twin-screw wet granulation process and formulation development
In recent years, the interest in continuous manufacturing techniques, such as twin-screw wet granulation, has increased. However, the understanding of the influence of the combination of raw material properties and process settings upon the granule quality attributes is still limited.
In this…

Development and evaluation of a composite dosage form containing desmopressin acetate for buccal…
Desmopressin acetate (DDAVP) is an oligopeptide indicated for the treatment of primary nocturnal enuresis, for example. The poor oral bioavailability of DDAVP accelerated a shift to alternative routes of administration like nasal and oromucosal, whereby nasal administration results in high…

Impact of hydrophilic binders on stability of lipid-based sustained release matrices of quetiapine…
Dose dumping is the major drawback of sustained release (SR) matrices. The current research aimed to develop the stable lipid-based SR matrices of quetiapine fumarate (QTF) using GeleolTM (glyceryl monostearate; GMS) as the lipid matrix carrier and KlucelTM EF (HPC EF), Kollidon® VA64, and Kollidon®…
