Studying the API Distribution of Controlled Release Formulations Produced via Continuous Twin-Screw…
Abstract
Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) is a preferred hydrophilic matrix former for controlled release formulations produced through continuous twin-screw wet granulation. However, a non-homogeneous API distribution over sieve fractions with underdosing in the fines fraction (<150 µm) was…

The impact of diluents on the compaction, dissolution, and physical stability of amorphous solid…
Abstract
Amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) is an effective approach for enhancing the solubility, dissolution, and bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs. However, these metastable forms can transform into more thermodynamically stable, less soluble crystalline forms. Despite this…
