Improved Dissolution and Oral Bioavailability of Valsartan Using a Solidified Supersaturable…
To improve the dissolution and oral bioavailability of valsartan (VST), we previously formulated a supersaturable self-microemulsifying drug delivery system (SuSMED) composed of Capmul® MCM (oil), Tween® 80 (surfactant), Transcutol® P (cosurfactant), and Poloxamer 407 (precipitation inhibitor) but…

The influence of ethanol on superdisintegrants and on tablets disintegration
Disintegration of immediate release tablets originates from the volume expansion of disintegrants within the formulation. Here, we study the impact of ethanol on the disintegrant expansion and on tablets disintegration. The three most commonly used superdisintegrants, namely sodium starch glycolate…

Gellan gum and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as binding agents in extrusion/spheronization pellet…
The aim of this work was to evaluate gellan gum as binder in pellet formulations, with theophylline as the model drug, in comparison with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). A full 32 factorial design was realized, with binder and dilu- ent factors at three levels each. Pellets were produced by the…

A Big Data Approach to Pharmaceutical Flow Properties
Flowability is a key consideration during the formulation and process development of oral solid dosage forms as it can have a critical impact on product quality. With a limited number of examples available in the literature, there is a need to better understand and share the typical flow properties…
