Optimizing twin-screw melt granulation: The role of overflight clearance on granulation behavior
Abstract
Twin-screw melt granulation (TSMG) relies on the dispersive and distributive mixing at the kneading zone for granule growth to happen highlighting the critical role played by the kneading elements in TSMG. Despite extensive research conducted on the impact of screw geometry in melt…

A Comprehensive Review of Disintegrants: Backbone of disintegration
Abstract
Strong attractive bonding forces works among the particles of solid dosage forms such as mechanical, solid and intermolecular and bioavailability of solid dosage form is preferentially dependent on in vivo disintegration then dissolution. This review is focused for disintegrating agents,…

Taste Masking of Dexketoprofen Trometamol Orally Disintegrating Granules by High-Shear Coating with…
Abstract
Orally disintegrating granules (ODGs) are a pharmaceutical form commonly used for the administration of NSAIDs because of their easy assumption and fast dispersion. The development of ODGs is not easy for drugs like dexketoprofen trometamol (DXKT), which have a bitter and burning taste. In…

Determining the Impact of Roller Compaction Processing Conditions on Granulate and API Properties:…
Previous work demonstrated that roller compaction of a 40%w/w theophylline–loaded formulation resulted in granulate consisting of un-compacted fractions which were shown to constitute between 34 and 48%v/v of the granulate dependent on processing conditions. The active pharmaceutical ingredient…

PEARLITOL® 200 GT Mannitol: Harnessing the Potential of Higher Active Ingredient Content for…
INTRODUCTION
Mannitol is the first intention excipient for oral solid forms, designed for APIs having stability problems. Mannitol is not hygroscopic and presents a high chemical stability; therefore, it is considered compatible with almost all drugs.
To combine its high stability properties…

The Development of Lipid-Based Sorafenib Granules to Enhance the Oral Absorption of Sorafenib
Abstract
Sorafenib (SFN) is an anticancer multi-kinase inhibitor with great therapeutic potential. However, SFN has low aqueous solubility, which limits its oral absorption. Lipids and surfactants have the potential to improve the solubility of water-insoluble drugs. The aim of this study is thus…
