HPMC – Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose
Moisture sorption and desorption properties of gelatin, HPMC and pullulan hard capsules
The moisture sorption and desorption properties of hard capsules have a great influence on the quality of capsule products. However, studies on them have rarely been reported. Herein, we studied the moisture sorption and desorption properties of three kinds of hard capsules (gelatin, hydroxypropyl…

Metformin Hydrochloride- and Glyburide-Containing Orally Disintegrating Tablets
Diabetes is characterized by chronic hyperglycemia. Although metformin hydrochloride (MHCl)- and glyburide (GLB)-containing conventional tablets are available in the market and used to treat diabetes, orally disintegrating tablets (ODTs) containing the combination of these drugs are not commercially…

Rheological & Suspending Properties of Commonly Used Oral Suspending Vehicles
Little is documented about the rheology of commonly oral used suspending vehicles (which include everything from water through commercial suspending agents to semi-solid foods such as yoghurt which are often used in the administration of medicines to children). Following on from this, little is…

The Stabilizing Excipients in Dry State Therapeutic Phage Formulation
Phage therapy has gained prominence due to the increasing pathogenicity of “super bugs” and the rise of their multidrug resistance to conventional antibiotics. Dry state formulation of therapeutic phage is attractive to improve their “druggability” by increasing their shelf life, improving their…

Comparison of induction methods for supersaturation: Amorphous dissolution versus solvent shift
Simple solvent shift is often used to induce supersaturation and investigate precipitation kinetics in early drug development as a substitute for amorphous dissolution. This study develops and compares a small-scale non-sink amorphous dissolution method to a solvent shift method as induction methods…

Characterization of a novel hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) direct compression grade excipient…
Controlled release tablets are important dosage forms enabling a slower release of the drug and better pharmacokinetics for some drugs and hydrophilic matrix tablets utilizing hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) are one of the most common types. One of the main challenges with using HPMC is its…

A physiologically-based drug absorption modeling for orally disintegrating tablets
The aim of this research was to simulate oral pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles of atorvastatin from orally disintegrating tablets (ODTs) dosed without water ingestion in fasted humans. The in vitro dissolution profiles of three different formulations of ODTs were evaluated with fasted state biorelevant…

Solidification of SMEDDS by fluid bed granulation and manufacturing of fast drug release tablets
Solidification of self-microemulsifying drug delivery systems (SMEDDS) is a rising experimental field with important potential for pharmaceutical industry, however fluid-bed granulation with SMEDDS is yet an unexplored solidification technique. The aim of the study was to solidify carvedilol-loaded…

Factors affecting the stability and performance of amorphous solid dispersions of poorly soluble…
Over the last twenty years, the poor solubility profile of pipeline drugs has limited their development as solid oral dosage forms. Formulating these APIs as amorphous solid dispersions is one strategy to overcome their poor aqueous solubility. The major limitation to amorphous solid dispersion…
