Elucidation of processing parameters for the reverse engineering of tablets
Abstract
Reverse engineering can assist in decoding the formula and manufacturing parameters employed in innovator formulations. Generic pharmaceutical industries use it to develop generic cheaper versions of innovator tablets. Herein, we report the systematic application of reverse engineering in…

Development and application of control concepts for twin-screw wet granulation in the ConsiGma-25:…
Abstract
Traditional operation modes, such as running the production processes at constant process settings or within a narrow design space, do not fully exploit the advantages of continuous pharmaceutical manufacturing. Integrating Quality by Control (QbC) algorithms as a standard component of…

Overcome Challenges of Elastic Deformation with the Right Excipient – Case Study With…
Abstract
Developing a medicine in which the active ingredient has elastic deformation is always challenging, as elastic forces affect the compression capacity of the formulation, resulting in tablets with capping, low tablet breaking force and high friability. Finding an ideal formulation with…

Enhancement of inhaled micronized powder flow properties for accurate capsules filling
Introduction
Dry powder inhalers (DPI) are gaining popularity in the field of pulmonary treatments due to their numerous advantages. Compared to pressurized metered-dose inhalers (pMDI), soft-mist inhalers (SMI), and nebulizers, which utilize liquid formulations, DPIs employ solid-state…

Cleaning of Direct Compression Continuous Manufacturing Equipment through displacement of API…
Abstract
This feasibility study evaluates a cleaning process designed to avoid the use of detergents and reduce operator exposure to the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). The continuous manufacturing equipment was cleaned using excipients to displace ibuprofen residues from the system. The…

Loss-on-Drying Prediction for a Vibrated Fluidised Bed Dryer by Means of Mass and Energy Balances
Abstract
Purpose
Continuous wet granulation and drying require an adequate process control strategy to ensure the product quality. The most important critical quality attributes of dried granules are the granule size distribution and moisture content. Process analytical technologies (PATs) are…

Effect of Powdered Cellulose Nanofiber with Different Particle Sizes on the Physical Properties of…
Abstract
Direct compression is a tableting technique that involves a few steps in non-demanding manufacturing conditions. High strength and rapid disintegration of tablet formulations were previously achieved through the addition of cellulose nanofibers (CNFs), which have recently attracted…

The importance of Excipient selection for modified release formulations – prevent the risk for…
Introduction
The oral route is the main acceptable route, which offers more patient compliance and cost-effective manufacturing processes. Pharmaceutical dosage forms may be developed in which drug release characteristics with respect to time and/or location have in some way been modified compared…
