Lisinopril (LIS) it is antihypertensive drug, classified as a class III drug with a high water solubility and low permeability. To overcome the low permeability, 32 factorial designs aimed to formulate LIS as a sustained-release (LIS-SR) matrix pellet by extrusion/spheronization. Matrix pellets were…

Fully automated at-line terahertz time-domain spectroscopy in transmission mode is used to measure tablet porosity for thousands of immediate release tablets. The measurements are rapid and non-destructive. Both laboratory prepared tablets and commercial samples are studied. Multiple measurements on…

Powder flow is a critical attribute of pharmaceutical blends to ensure tablet weight uniformity and production of tablets with consistent and reproducible properties. This study aims at characterizing different powder blends with a number of different rheologic techniques, in order to understand how…
