Sodium lauryl sulfate as lubricant in tablets formulations: is it worth?
Lubricants are excipients used in tablet formulations to reduce friction and adhesion forces within the die or on the punches surface during the manufacturing process. Despite these excipients are always required for the tablets production, their amount must be carefully evaluated since lubricants…

Modeling the Impact of Excipients Selection on Nitrosamine Formation towards Risk Mitigation
Abstract
Risk control for nitrosamine impurities in drug products is currently a major challenge in the industry. Nitrosamines can form during drug product manufacturing and storage through the reaction of nitrites with amine-containing APIs or impurities. The level of nitrites in excipients and…

VITAMIN C – Tableting with LUBRITAB® RBW Lubricant
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a popular supplement available over the counter in dosage forms such as tablets, capsules, sprinkles and gummies. From a formulator’s perspective, it can be challenging since it is poorly compressible and is very sensitive to moisture. Because of this, it requires…

Effective nose-to-brain drug delivery using a combination system targeting the olfactory region in…
The nose-to-brain (N2B) pathway has garnered attention because it transports drugs directly into the brain. Although recent studies have suggested the necessity of selective drug administration to the olfactory region for effective N2B drug delivery, the importance of delivering the formulation to…

Risk Mitigation of Nitrosamines Formation in Drug Products: Role of Excipients
1. Introduction
The issue of Nitrosamine impurities in drug and excipient manufacturing has become a significant concern for the pharmaceutical industry and health authorities. In June 2018, the FDA was notified of the presence of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), an impurity found in valsartan, an…

Novel Bioequivalent Tablet of Solifenacin Succinate Prepared Using Direct Compression Technique for…
Abstract
We designed a bioequivalent tablet form of solifenacin succinate (SOL) with an improved storage stability using a direct compression (DC) technique. An optimal direct compressed tablet (DCT) containing an active substance (10 mg), lactose monohydrate, and silicified microcrystalline…

Enteric coating of tablets containing an amorphous solid dispersion of an enteric polymer and a…
Recent work has highlighted that amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) containing delamanid (DLM) and an enteric polymer, hypromellose phthalate (HPMCP), appear to be susceptible to crystallization during immersion in simulated gastric fluids. The goal of this study was to minimize contact of the ASD…
