Formulation of novel niosomal repaglinide chewable tablets using coprocessed excipients: in vitro…
Repaglinide (RPG), a monotherapy insulin secretagogue used to treat diabetes mellitus-type II yet, it suffers from poor water solubility and variable bioavailability (∼ 50%) due to hepatic first pass metabolism. In this study, 2FI I-Optimal statistical design was employed to encapsulate RPG into…

Development and implementation of a pneumatic micro-feeder for poorly-flowing solid pharmaceutical…
Consistent powder micro-feeding (< 100 g/h) is a significant challenge in manufacturing solid oral dosage forms. The low dose feeding can well control the content consistency of the dosage forms, which improves drug efficiency and reduces manufacturing waste. Current commercial micro-feeders are…

Behaviour of magnesium stearate at particle–particle interfaces: Microdynamic flowability to monitor…
Monitoring magnesium stearate (MgSt) surface coverage remains a challenge in powders. Microdynamic flowability is proposed to better understand the nature of these films and how formulation and process variability affect the final product. The method examined small-scale particulate solids in motion…

Design and Optimization of a Nanoparticulate Pore Former as a Multifunctional Coating Excipient for…
Bioavailability of weakly basic drugs may be disrupted by dramatic pH changes or unexpected pH alterations in the gastrointestinal tract. Conventional organic acids or enteric coating polymers cannot address this problem adequately because they leach out or dissolve prematurely, especially during…

The applications of machine learning to predict the forming of chemically stable amorphous solid…
Amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) is one of the most important strategies to improve the solubility and dissolution rate of poorly water-soluble drugs. As a widely used technique to prepare ASDs, hot-melt extrusion (HME) provides various benefits, including a solvent-free process, continuous…

Effects of polyvinylpyrrolidone and poly (ethylene glycol) on preparation of ibuprofen…
In this study, we investigated the effects of polymers on the pharmaceutical cocrystal formation process. Ibuprofen (IBU) was selected as the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), nicotinamide (NIC) and saccharin (SAC) as the cocrystal coformer (CCF), ethanol/water as the solvent,…

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…

Avoiding N-nitrosodimethylamine formation in metformin pharmaceuticals by limiting dimethylamine and…
Since late 2019, concerns regarding trace levels of the probable human carcinogen N-dimethylnitrosamine (NDMA) in Metformin-containing pharmaceuticals have been an issue if they exceeded the maximum allowable intake of 96 ng/day for a medicine with long-term intake. Here, we report results from an…

Upscaling of external lubrication from a compaction simulator to a rotary tablet press
External lubrication is a highly valuable alternative lubrication method as it minimizes the negative impact on tablet properties encountered when using internal lubrication. In current study, experiments were performed with automated external lubrication systems implemented in a compaction…

Pharmaceutical polymers and P-glycoprotein: Current Trends and Possible Outcomes in Drug Delivery
Drug resistance is considered a key reason behind the failure of therapeutic medications for several chronic diseases, including hypertension, cancer therapeutics, and antimicrobial agents. Among the strategies used to overcome drug resistance are therapeutic targeting of other factors involved in…
