Screening of lubricants towards their applicability for external lubrication
Internal lubrication is associated with decreasing tensile strength and prolonged disintegration. These effects can be minimized using external lubrication. In current study, six lubricants (magnesium stearate, sodium stearyl fumarate, stearic acid, glyceryl dibehenate, poloxamer 188 and sucrose…

Downstream Processing of Amorphous Solid Dispersions into Orodispersible Tablets
The formulation development of amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) towards a patient-friendly oral solid dosage form is proving to be still challenging. To increase patient’s compliance orodispersible tablets (ODTs) can be seen as promising alternative. Two different ASDs were prepared via hot melt…

Tablet Disintegratability: Sensitivity of Superdisintegrants to Temperature and Compaction Pressure
Tablet disintegration is an important pre-requisite for drug dissolution and absorption. The disintegration test is typically conducted at 37 °C, but the intragastric temperature may vary due to meals or fever. This study investigated the effects of temperature and compaction pressure on tablet…

Using a Material Library to Understand the Change of Tabletability by High Shear Wet Granulation
Understanding the tabletability change of materials after granulation is critical for the formulation and process design in tablet development. In this paper, a material library consisting of 30 pharmaceutical materials was used to summarize the pattern of change of tabletability during high shear…
