Assessment of Mini-Tablets Coating Uniformity as a Function of Fluid Bed Coater Inlet Conditions
This study concerned the quality of mini-tablets’ coating uniformity obtained by either the bottom spray chamber with a classical Wurster distributor (CW) or a swirl distributor (SW). Mini-tablets with a diameter of 2.0, 2.5, and 3.0 mm were coated with hypromellose using two different inlet air…

Development of a Solid Supersaturable Micelle of Revaprazan for Improved Dissolution and Oral…
Purpose: To enhance the oral bioavailability of revaprazan (RVP), a novel solid, supersaturable micelle (SSuM) was developed.
Methods: Surfactants and solid carriers were screened based on a solubility and a flowability test, respectively. Supersaturating agents, including Poloxamer 407 (P407),…

Evaluation of Binders in Twin-Screw Wet Granulation
The binders povidone (Kollidon 30), copovidone (Kollidon VA64), hypromellose (Pharmacoat 606), and three types of hyprolose (HPC SSL‑SFP, HPC SSL, and HPC SL‑FP) were evaluated regarding their suitability in twin-screw wet granulation. Six mixtures of lactose and binder as well as lactose without…

Nanoporous Silica Entrapped Lipid-Drug Complexes for the Solubilization and Absorption Enhancement…
This study aims to examine the contribution of nanoporous silica entrapped lipid-drug complexes (NSCs) in improving the solubility and bioavailability of dutasteride (DUT). An NSC was loaded with DUT (dissolved in lipids) and dispersed at a nanoscale level using an entrapment technique.
NSC…
