Compaction and Structural-Mechanical Properties of Tablets as a Function of Volume Ratios of…
Introduction
Using in tablet formulations microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) with plastic behaviour and calcium phosphate anhydrous (CaHPO4 ) with brittle behaviour under compaction is very popular in the pharmaceutical industry for achieving desirable structural-mechanical properties of tablets.…

The most recent advances in liquisolid technology: Perspectives in the pharmaceutical industry
Abstract
Hydrophobic drugs exhibit altered bioavailability and pose other challenges at an industrial level due to their poor solubility and dissolution rates. In addition, poor flowability, compressibility, complex dosing schedules, and light-sensitivity problems associated with hydrophobic…

Liquisolids: A Modernistic approach in Drug Delivery System
Abstract
Liquisolid Technology aims to make drug entities more soluble that have low solubility and low permeability, through the cosolvency theory in a reasonably simple setup that doesn't require expensive technology. A non-volatile solvent is used to dissolve a medicine into molecular…

Overcoming the Low-Stability Bottleneck in the Clinical Translation of Liposomal Pressurized…
Abstract
Currently, several types of inhalable liposomes have been developed. Among them, liposomal pressurized metered-dose inhalers (pMDIs) have gained much attention due to their cost-effectiveness, patient compliance, and accurate dosages. However, the clinical application of liposomal pMDIs…

Twin-Screw Melt Granulation with PEG 8000: effect of binder particle size and processing temperature…
Introduction
High-drug-loaded tablets and capsules are desirable and are manufactured using granulation as an additional step. Replacing batch wet granulation with twin-screw melt extruder as a continuous solventless process is gaining popularity. PEG 8000 being one of the most popular…

Mesoporous Silica as an Alternative Vehicle to Overcome Solubility Limitations
Abstract
Toxicological studies are a part of the drug development process and the preclinical stages, for which suitable vehicles ensuring easy and safe administration are crucial. However, poor aqueous solubility of drugs complicates vehicle screening for oral administration since non-aqueous…

High loading of lipophilic compounds in mesoporous silica for improved solubility and dissolution…
Loading poorly soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) into mesoporous silica can enable API stabilization in non-crystalline form, which leads to improved dissolution. This is particularly beneficial for highly lipophilic APIs (log D7.4 > 8) as these drugs often exhibit limited…

Impact of dry coating lactose as a brittle excipient on multi-component blend processability
Abstract
Previous work demonstrated the benefits of dry coating fine-grade microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) for enabling direct compression (DC), a favored tablet manufacturing method, due to enhanced flowability while retaining good compactability of placebo and binary blends of cohesive APIs.…
