Progress on Thin Film Freezing Technology for Dry Powder Inhalation Formulations
The surface drying process is an important technology in the pharmaceutical, biomedical, and food industries. The final stage of formulation development (i.e., the drying process) faces several challenges, and overall mastering depends on the end step. The advent of new emerging technologies paved…

Using a Material Library to Understand the Change of Tabletability by High Shear Wet Granulation
Understanding the tabletability change of materials after granulation is critical for the formulation and process design in tablet development. In this paper, a material library consisting of 30 pharmaceutical materials was used to summarize the pattern of change of tabletability during high shear…

Development and Characterisation of a Topical Methyl Salicylate Patch: Effect of Solvents on…
The advent of skin patch formulation design and technology has enabled the commercialisation of methyl salicylate (MS) as a topical patch. However, the most fundamental aspect of skin permeation is unknown at present. The study aims to investigate the effect of solvent choice on the skin permeation…

Study of different super-disintegrants and their use as a magic ingredient for different…
The time taken by the tablet to break down into fragments or granules is called disintegration. The time it takes for a batch of tablets to dissolve into particles under certain circumstances is called a disintegration test. It essentially entails an aqueous liquid penetrating the tablet, disrupting…

Itraconazole Amorphous Solid Dispersion Tablets: Formulation and Compaction Process Optimization…
BCS Class II drugs, such as itraconazole (ITZ), exhibit poor solubility (1–4 ng/mL) and so require solubility enhancement. Therefore, ITZ and Kollidon® VA64 (KOL) amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) were produced using hot-melt extrusion (HME) to improve ITZ’s poor solubility. A novel strategy for…

Control Strategy for Excipient Variability in the Quality by Design Approach Using Statistical…
Although various quality by design (QbD) approaches have been used to establish a design space to obtain robust drug formulation and process parameters, the effect of excipient variability on the design space and drug product quality is unclear. In this study, the effect of microcrystalline…
