Loading of Porous Functionalized Calcium Carbonate Microparticles
Accurate analysis of intraparticle distribution of substances within porous drug carriers is important to optimize loading and subsequent processing. Mercury intrusion porosimetry, a common technique used for characterization of porous materials, assumes cylindrical pore geometry, which may lead to…

Evolution of the Microstructure of Sustained-release Matrix Tablets during Dissolution and Storage
Glyceryl behenate based-matrix tablets allowed obtaining a sustained release of theophylline for up to 12 hours. The diluent selected as pore-forming agent (lactose or dibasic calcium phosphate anhydrous) affected the drug release and its stability after 3-months storage at 40°. Lactose-containing…

To use Talc or not to use Talc: Should this even be a Question?
Magnesium silicate (MgSiO3) when hydrated is most commonly known as “Talc”. In the pharmaceutical industry, talc is used primarily as a glidant to improve powder flow in tablet compression. Of course, talc is also used by the personal care industry in talcum powder as an adsorbent and by the…

Amorphous multi-system of celecoxib improves its anti-inflammatory activity in vitro and oral…
In the present study, a multi-system for solid dispersion (SD) of celecoxib (CXB) was designed to improve its solubility and anti-inflammatory effects in vitro as well as oral absorption in rats. The SD formulations were prepared by a solvent evaporation with a multi-system as the solubilizer; an…
