Flowsheet modelling of a powder continuous feeder-mixer system
Abstract
In this study, an integrated flowsheet model of the continuous feeder-mixer system was calibrated, simulated and compared against experimental data. The feeding process was first investigated using two major components (ibuprofen and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC)), in a formulation…

Box–Behnken Design of Experiments of Polycaprolactone Nanoparticles Loaded with Irinotecan…
Background: The Box–Behnken design of experiments (BBD) is a statistical modelling technique that allows the determination of the significant factors in developing nanoparticles (NPs) using a limited number of runs. It also allows the prediction of the best levels of variables to obtain the desired…

Use of a Platform Formulation Technology to De-Risk Solid-State Variation in Drug Development
Active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) can exist in multiple crystal forms, known as polymorphs, that are chemically identical. Polymorphs of an API can appear over the course of development and lead to deviations across batches affecting stability, tableting properties, flowability,…

Impact of Different Saccharides on the In-Process Stability of a Protein Drug During Evaporative…
Objectives
Solid biopharmaceutical products can circumvent lower temperature storage and transport and increase remote access with lower carbon emissions and energy consumption. Saccharides are known stabilizers in a solid protein produced via lyophilization and spray drying (SD). Thus, it is…

Overcoming Excipient Risks and Challenges for Parenteral Formulations – Merck article
ATTRIBUTES OF EXCIPIENTS FOR HIGH-RISK FORMULATIONS
Excipients play an important role in parenteral formulations, which are high-risk given their route of administration. They protect, support, and enhance stability and bioavailability, modulate release of the API, and can enhance effectiveness of…

Oral lyophilizates obtained using aggressive drying conditions: Effect of excipients
Orodispersible drug formulations are a current trend in the pharmaceutical industry, mostly intended for pediatric and geriatric patients. Oral lyophilizates are solid forms, intended either to be placed in the mouth or to be dispersed (or dissolved) in water before administration. The correct…
