The effect of polymeric binder type and concentration on flow and dissolution properties of SMEDDS…
Self-microemulsifying drug delivery systems (SMEDDS) are lipid-based formulations, designed to improve the solubility of poorly-water soluble drugs. Mesoporous silica is frequently used for SMEDDS solidification by various techniques. One of them is wet granulation, which enables achieving both high…

Application of the Gradient boosted tree approach for thin film classification based on…
Introduction
Thin films are polymeric strips that disintegrate in the oral cavity and consist of a film-forming agent and an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). Generally, thin films disintegrate within seconds, but their composition can be modified to allow slower disintegration and release of…

Effects of Granulated Lactose Characteristics and Lubricant Blending Conditions on Tablet Physical…
Abstract
Lactose is an excipient used extensively for bulking, diluting, and molding active pharmaceutical ingredients in tablet manufacturing. Particularly, granulated lactose (GL) intended for direct powder compression has distinct properties due to differences in manufacturing methods. It…

Effect of Compaction Pressure on the Enzymatic Activity of Pancreatin in Directly Compressible…
Tableting of biomolecules is a challenging formulation phase due to their sensitivity to various process parameters, such as compression pressure, process dynamics, or the temperature generated. In the present study, pancreatin was employed as a model enzyme mixture, which was formulated in tablet…

Comparative Evaluation of the Powder and Tableting Properties of Regular and Direct Compression…
Hypromellose, a widely used polymer in the pharmaceutical industry, is available in several grades, depending on the percentage of substitution of the methoxyl and hydroxypropyl groups and molecular weight, and in various functional forms (e.g., suitable for direct compression tableting). These…

A tabletability change classification system in supporting the tablet formulation design via the…
In this paper, the material library approach was used to uncover the pattern of tabletability change and related risk for tablet formulation design under the roll compaction and dry granulation (RCDG) process. 31 materials were fully characterized using 18 physical parameters and 9 compression…
