DC excipient

Abstract Previous work demonstrated the benefits of dry coating fine-grade microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) for enabling direct compression (DC), a favored tablet manufacturing method, due to enhanced flowability while retaining good compactability of placebo and binary blends of cohesive APIs.…

Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol, which are present in cannabis extract, exhibit low bioavailability when administered orally due to significant first-pass metabolism. The use of a self-emulsifying drug delivery system (SEDDS) can enhance their dissolution and bioavailability. However, liquid…

Herein, we aimed to formulate a novel oral disintegrating tablet (ODT) of aripiprazole (ARP) capable of rapid disintegration using a direct compression technique. Different ODTs were fabricated with directly compressible excipients, and their disintegration time, wettability (water absorption ratio…
