Mannitol as an Excipient for Lyophilized Injectable Formulations
The review summarizes the current state of knowledge of mannitol as an excipient in lyophilized injectable small and large molecule formulations. When compared with glycine, the physicochemical properties of mannitol make it a desirable and preferred bulking agent. Though mannitol is a popular…

A material-saving and robust approach for obtaining accurate out-of-die powder compressibility
Density is an important material property for evaluating, or developing a tablet formulation. In-die compressibility data can be obtained using a small amount of powder with the help of a compaction simulator. However, compacts undergo volume expansion upon ejection from die.
Therefore, accurate…

Excipients in freeze-dried biopharmaceuticals: Contributions toward formulation stability and…
Biopharmaceuticals are one of the fastest growing areas within the pharmaceutical industry.
As protein drugs require parenteral administration, they are commonly formulated as aqueous solutions. However, this is not always feasible due to their general instability. In such cases, lyophilised…
