Investigating the Role of Excipients on the Physical Stability of Directly Compressed Tablets
Stability studies are an integral part of the drug development process for any drug product. In addition to monitoring chemical degradation, the physical stability of a drug product must also be evaluated to ensure that the drug release and performance is not affected by storage. In this study,…

A new parameter for characterization of tablet friability based on a systematical study of five…
In this paper, a new parameter highly relevant to tablet friability is proposed based on a systematical study of the tablet quality attributes and texture performances of five different direct compression excipients, including microcrystalline cellulose, starch, lactose, mannitol, and dicalcium…

Application of Reverse Engineering in the Field of Pharmaceutical Tablets Using Raman Mapping and…
Raman micro-spectroscopy technique offers a combination of relatively high spatial resolution with identification of components or mixtures of components in different sample areas, e.g. on the surface or the cross-section of a sample. This study is focused on the analysis of the tablets from…

Modelling and Simulation of the Drug Release from a Solid Dosage Form in the Human Ascending Colon:…
For colonic drug delivery, the ascending part of the colon is the most favourable site as it offers the most suitable environmental conditions for drug dissolution. Commonly, the performance of a drug formulation is assessed using standardised dissolution apparatus, which does not replicate the…

Blend Segregation in Tablets Manufacturing and Its Effect on Drug Content Uniformity—A Review
Content uniformity (CU) of the active pharmaceutical ingredient is a critical quality attribute of tablets as a dosage form, ensuring reproducible drug potency. Failure to meet the accepted uniformity in the final product may be caused either by suboptimal mixing and insufficient initial blend…

Nanocrystal-based 3D-printed tablets: Semi-solid extrusion using Melting solidification printing…
This is the first report on the inclusion of nanocrystals (NCs) within 3D-printed oral solid dosage forms – 3D-printed tablets or printlets – produced by the Melting Solidification Printing Process (MESO-PP) 3D printing technique. This method allowed the incorporation of albendazole (ABZ)…

In-line particle size measurement based on image analysis in a fully continuous granule…
The present paper serves as a demonstration how an in-line PAT tool can be used for rapid and efficient process development in a fully continuous powder to granule line consisting of an interconnected twin-screw wet granulator, vibrational fluid bed dryer, and a regranulating mill. A new method was…

Emulgel Approach to Formulation Development: A Review
Topical drug delivery is the delivery of drugs anywhere in the body through skin, vaginal, ophthalmic and rectal routes. Drugs may be given for localized or systemic effects. Topical formulations with varying physicochemical properties, such as solid, semisolid, or liquid, can be developed. The…
