High-Shear Granulation of Hygroscopic Probiotic-Encapsulated Skim Milk Powder: Effects of…
A fine, hygroscopic, and poorly flowable probiotic powder encapsulating Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) was granulated using a high-shear granulation process, wherein a small amount of water (4%, w/w) was used for moisture-activation with or without 10% (w/w) resistant maltodextrin (RM). The…

Modelling the Evolution of Pore Structure during the Disintegration of Pharmaceutical Tablets
Pharmaceutical tablet disintegration is a critical process for dissolving and enabling the absorption of the drug substance into the blood stream. The tablet disintegration process consists of multiple connected and interdependent mechanisms: liquid penetration, swelling, dissolution, and break-up.…

Interpretable artificial neural networks for retrospective QbD of pharmaceutical tablet…
As the pharmaceutical industry increasingly adopts the Pharma 4.0. concept, there is a growing need to effectively predict the product quality based on manufacturing or in-process data. Although artificial neural networks (ANNs) have emerged as powerful tools in data-rich environments, their…

Surrogate modeling of dissolution behavior toward efficient design of tablet manufacturing processes
This paper presents surrogate models of dissolution behavior to identify the critical input parameters in tablet manufacturing processes. Dissolution behavior is a critical quality attribute, and is defined as the time profile of fraction of dissolved active pharmaceutical ingredients in a solvent…

Formulation and Characterisation of Carbamazepine Orodispersible 3D-Printed Mini-Tablets for…
Abstract
One of the main challenges to paediatric drug administration is swallowing difficulties, hindering the acceptability of the medicine and hence clinical outcomes. This study aims at developing a child-appropriate dosage form, the orodispersible mini-tablet (ODMT), using the model drug…

Clarithromycin and Pantoprazole Gastro-Retentive Floating Bilayer Tablet for the Treatment of…
Bilayer/multilayer tablets have been introduced to formulate incompatible components for compound preparations, but they are now more commonly used to tailor drug release. This research aimed to formulate a novel gastro-retentive tablet to deliver a combination of a fixed dose of two drugs to…

Solubility Enhanced Formulation Approaches to Overcome Oral Delivery Obstacles of PROTACs
PROteolysis TArgeting Chimaeras (PROTACs) offer new opportunities in modern medicine by targeting proteins that are undruggable to classic inhibitors. However, due to their hydrophobic structure, PROTACs typically suffer from low solubility, and oral bioavailability remains challenging. At the same…

Preparation and in vitro evaluation of hot-melt extruded pectin-based pellets containing ketoprofen…
This work developed high drug-load pellets for colon targeting in minimal steps by coupling hot-melt extrusion (HME) with a die-surface cutting pelletizer, offering a potential continuous pellet manufacturing process. Ketoprofen (KTP) was selected as a model drug for this study due to its thermal…

Development of 3D-printed vaginal devices containing metronidazole for alternative bacterial…
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is an abnormal condition caused by the change of microbiota in the vagina. One of the most common bacteria found in the case of BV is Gardnerella vaginalis, which is categorised as anaerobic facultative bacteria. Currently, the available treatment for BV is the use of…

Formulation-dependent stability mechanisms affecting dissolution performance of directly compressed…
During drug product development, stability studies are used to ensure that the safety and efficacy of a product are not affected during storage. Any change in the dissolution performance of a product must be investigated, as this may indicate a change in the bioavailability. In this study, three…
