Characterizing a design space for a twin-screw wet granulation process: A case study of…
Abstract
Twin-screw wet granulation is an emerging continuous manufacturing technology for solid oral dosage forms. This technology has been successfully employed for the commercial manufacture of immediate-released tablets. However, the higher polymer content in extended-release (ER) formulations…

Preparation of Hot-Melt-Extruded Solid Dispersion Based on Pre-Formulation Strategies and Its…
In this study, an amorphous solid dispersion containing the poorly water-soluble drug, bisacodyl, was prepared by hot-melt extrusion to enhance its therapeutic efficacy. First, the miscibility and interaction between the drug and polymer were investigated as pre-formulation strategies using various…

Effect of Powdered Cellulose Nanofiber with Different Particle Sizes on the Physical Properties of…
Abstract
Direct compression is a tableting technique that involves a few steps in non-demanding manufacturing conditions. High strength and rapid disintegration of tablet formulations were previously achieved through the addition of cellulose nanofibers (CNFs), which have recently attracted…

Phase homogeneity in ternary amorphous solid dispersions and its impact on solubility, dissolution…
Abstract
As performance of ternary amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) depends on the solid-state characteristics and polymer mixing, a comprehensive understanding of synergistic interactions between the polymers in regard of dissolution enhancement of poorly soluble drugs and subsequent…

Optimisation of the Manufacturing Process of Organic-Solvent-Free Omeprazole Enteric Pellets for the…
Abstract
Liquid formulations are mostly used in the paediatric population. However, with certain active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), it is very difficult to guarantee quality and stability; this is the case, for example, with omeprazole. Omeprazole is used as a model drug due to the lack of a…
