Mannitol is a sugar alcohol commonly used in the pharmaceutical industry for various purposes. It is a white, crystalline powder with a sweet taste and is known for its ability to act as an osmotic diuretic. Mannitol finds applications in pharmaceuticals due to its unique properties, including solubility, stability, and low toxicity.

Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) for Tablet Coating Applications: Enhancing Formulation Flexibility
Purpose: Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is a well-established polymer for film coating. PVA is a synthetic, bio-compatible and toxicologically well characterized polymer. It is frequently used in pre-mixed coating formulations. Fixed combinations with additional ingredients are well established. By…

Mannitol
Mannitol is classified as a sugar alcohol and is derived from a sugar (mannose) by reduction. Other widely known polyols are xylitol and sorbitol. Mannitol and sorbitol are isomers, differing only in the orientation of the hydroxyl group on carbon two. The physical properties of mannitol make it…

Freeze/thaw of IGG solutions
In this communication, the effect of mannitol and trehalose crystallization on the unfolding of IgG1, a monoclonal antibody, in the frozen state with repeat freeze/thaw under different pH conditions was explored. Formulations were annealed at −20 °C for 20 h five times (interrupted by freeze/thaw).…

Characterization of mannitol granules and powder: A comparative study using two flowability testers
In the manufacture of tablets, especially in direct tableting processes, the flowability of excipient powders and formulated powders is one of the most important characteristics. In the past two decades, orally disintegrating tablets (ODTs) have been prepared as popular solid dosage forms for…

Microencapsulated Solid Lipid Nanoparticles as a Hybrid Platform for Pulmonary Antibiotic Delivery
21. August 2017
Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) containing rifabutin (RFB), with pulmonary administration purposes, were developed through a technique that avoids the use of organic solvents or sonication. To facilitate their pulmonary delivery, the RFB-loaded SLN were included in…

Development of a solid dosage platform for the oral delivery of bilayer vesicles
19. June 2017
Abstract
Within this work, we develop vesicles incorporating sub-unit antigens as solid dosage forms suitable for the oral delivery of vaccines. Using a combination of trehalose, dextran and mannitol, freeze-dried oral disintegrating tablets were formed which upon…

Sugars with different thickening power in high shear granulation
Sugars and sweeteners are common ingredients in foods and also in pharmaceutical industries. They are soluble and sticky ingredients and their processing in granulators may be difficult since they can easily adhere to mixer walls or lead to uncontrolled granule growth. The purpose of this…

Investigation of nanocarriers and excipients for preparation of nanoembedded microparticles
10. May 2017
Abstract
Colloidal drug delivery systems often face physical and chemical instability as well as challenges with directed delivery. In order to overcome these challenges the colloidal formulations can be processed into microparticulate form (nanoembedded…
