Abstract
The study aimed to fingerprint the physical manufacturing properties of five commonly used acid sources in effervescent systems for designing the formulation and process of such systems. The hygroscopicity, texture properties, rheological torque, compressibility, tabletability, etc., were investigated to inspect 'powder direct compression (DC)' and 'wet granulation and compression' properties of citric (CA), tartaric (TA), malic (MA), fumaric (FA), and adipic acid (AA). The DC ability was evaluated by the SeDeM expert system. The results indicated that all acid powders failed to meet flowability requirements for DC, and plastic deformation dominated during compression. Furthermore, CA exhibited strong hygroscopicity and punch sticking, while MA demonstrated the best tabletability. TA had a large wet granulation space and was relatively the most suitable for DC. AA was extremely hygroscopic, and its flowability improved significantly as particle size increased. Finally, FA displayed the lowest hygroscopicity and ejection force as well as great compressibility and wet granulation space, and did not exhibit punch sticking, while the granule fragments dissolved slowly during disintegration. Generally speaking, the formulation or granulation affected the tabletability, indicating that pairing with other acids or suitable fillers could potentially improve its disadvantages. These multidimensional assessments effectively reduce the pre-exploration and enhance the efficiency of the development of effervescent systems.

Investigating Variation in Compressional Behavior of a Ternary Mixture from a Plastic, Elastic and Brittle Fracture Perspective in the Context of Optimum Composition of a Pharmaceutical Blend. Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:polym15051063. [PMID: 36904303 PMCID: PMC10005554 DOI: 10.3390/polym15051063] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2022] [Revised: 02/12/2023] [Accepted: 02/13/2023] [Indexed: 02/23/2023] Open
Abstract
The choice of optimum composition of a mixture of binary and ternary excipients for optimum compressional properties was investigated in this work. Excipients were chosen based on three types of excipients: plastic, elastic, and brittle fracture. Mixture compositions were selected based on a one-factor experimental design using the response surface methodology technique. Compressive properties comprising Heckel and Kawakita parameters, work of compression, and tablet hardness were measured as the main responses of this design. The one-factor RSM analysis revealed that there exist specific mass fractions that are associated with optimum responses for binary mixtures. Furthermore, the RSM analysis of the 'mixture' design type for the three components revealed a region of optimal responses around a specific composition. The foregoing had a mass ratio of 80:15:5 for microcrystalline cellulose: starch: magnesium silicate, respectively. Upon comparison using all RSM data, ternary mixtures were found to perform better in compression and tableting properties than binary mixtures. Finally, the finding of an optimal mixture composition has proven effective in its applicability in the context of the dissolution of model drugs (metronidazole and paracetamol).

Abstract
AbstractThe aim of this study was to investigate powder mechanics upon compression using data obtained from force-displacement (F-D) curves. The Kawakita model of powder compression analysis was adopted in order to compare the pressure-volume reduction relationship of the drug powders in relation to the F-D curves. Experiments were carried out on six model drugs (metronidazole, metformin, secnidazole, ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin, and mebeverine). The drugs were compressed at different pressures in the non-processed or processed (using a roller compactor) forms. Results indicate the similarity between the F-D curves and a rearranged form of the Kawakita model. The foregoing enables the calculation of two important powder parameters, “a” (maximum powder volume reduction) and “Pk” (pressure required to achieve half of the maximum volume reduction) from the F-D curves without the need, as in the case of the conventional Kawakita model, to compress powders into tablets at different compression forces.

Abstract
The incorporation of inorganic oxide fillers imparts superior dielectric properties in silicone rubber for high-voltage insulation. However, the dielectric characteristics are influenced by the mechanical stress. The effects of ramped compression on the dielectric properties of neat silicone rubber (NSiR), 15% SiO2 microcomposite (SSMC), 15% alumina trihydrate (ATH) microcomposite (SAMC) and 10% ATH + 2% SiO2 hybrid composite (SMNC) are presented in this study. The dielectric constant and dissipation factor were measured before and after each compression especially in the frequency range of 50 kHz to 2MHz. Before the compression, SSMC expressed the highest dielectric constant of 4.44 followed by SMNC and SAMC. After the compression cycle, SAMC expressed a better dielectric behavior exhibiting dielectric constant of 7.19 and a dissipation factor of 0.01164. Overall, SAMC expressed better dielectric response before and after compression cycle with dielectric constant and dissipation factor in admissible ranges.

Abstract
Press-coated tablets have become an indispensable dosage form in chronotherapeutic drug delivery. Drug release from press-coated tablets has been extensively studied, yet there is little knowledge about their mechanical characteristics. This study aimed to systematically investigate the effects of critical factors on the structure, layer adhesion, and delamination tendency of the tablets. Material elasticity was found to play an important role in determining tablet structure in that excessive elastic mismatch between core and shell materials caused tablet defects during decompression and ejection. Unlike bilayer tablets, the overall strength of press-coated tablets was more affected by binding capacity of coating materials than by the core properties. Shell/core ratio was another factor affecting tablet integrity against external stresses. To mitigate the risk of delamination, poor layer adhesion must be compensated by increasing the coating thickness or enhanced by optimizing the formulation and process (e.g., core plasticity/brittleness, initial core solid fraction, and compression speed). X-ray micro-computed tomography revealed the presence of a shell-core gap and inhomogeneous density distribution within the tablet where the side coat appeared as the least dense and weakest region. These findings will enable the improvement of tablet quality and widen the application of press coating in industrial manufacturing.

A Direct Compression Matrix Made from Xanthan Gum and Low Molecular Weight Chitosan Designed to Improve Compressibility in Controlled Release Tablets. Pharmaceutics 2019; 11:E603. [PMID: 31726799 PMCID: PMC6921021 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics11110603] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2019] [Accepted: 11/03/2019] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The subject of our research is the optimization of direct compression (DC), controlled release drug matrices comprising chitosan/xanthan gum. The foregoing is considered from two main perspectives; the use of low molecular weight chitosan (LCS) with xanthan gum (XG) and the determination of important attributes for direct compression of the mixtures of the two polymers. Powder flow, deformation behaviour, and work of compression parameters were used to characterize powder and tableting properties. Compression pressure and LCS content within the matrix were investigated for their influence on the crushing strength of the tablets produced. Response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to determine the optimum parameters required for DC of the matrices investigated. Results confirm the positive contribution of LCS in enhancing powder compressibility and crushing strength of the resultant compacts. Compactibility of the XG/LCS mixtures was found to be more sensitive to applied compression pressure than LCS content. LCS can be added at concentrations as low as 15% w/w to achieve hard compacts, as indicated by the RSM results. The introduction of the plasticity factor, using LCS, to the fragmenting material XG was the main reason for the high volume reduction and reduced porosity of the polymer mixture. Combinations of XG with other commonly utilized polymers in controlled release studies such as glucosamine, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), Na alginate (ALG), guar gum, lactose and high molecular weight (HMW) chitosan were also used; all the foregoing polymers failed to reduce the matrix porosity beyond a certain compression pressure. Application of the LCS/XG mixture, at its optimum composition, for the controlled release of two model drugs (metoprolol succinate and dyphylline) was examined. The XG/LCS matrix at 15% w/w LCS content was found to control the release of metoprolol succinate and dyphylline. The former preparation confirmed the strong influence of compression pressure on changing the drug release profile. The latter preparation showed the ability of XG/LCS to extend the drug release at a fixed rate for 12 h of dissolution time after which the release became slightly slower.

Abstract
Herein, we report a study on the influence of particles having different porosities on tablet performance. The ethanol extract of Pueraria lobatae Radix (EPL) was chosen as the model drug. A series of porous EPL particles were prepared by co-spray drying EPL with different amounts of ammonium bicarbonate (NH4HCO3), and their powder properties (particle morphology, particle size, porosity, flowability, bulk density, and tap density) and tablet properties (tensile strength, E sp, yield pressure, dissolution, etc.) were comparatively investigated. The results showed that there were significant differences in the fundamental and functional properties of the spray-dried and parent EPLs. First, the irregular and dense primary EPL particles were transformed into loose, hollow, and spheroidal particles via co-spray drying with NH4HCO3. Second, compared to parent EPL, porous EPLs showed a significant improvement (1.80-7.03 times) in compactibility. Third, the dissolution rates of porous EPLs were similar, and all were more than twice as fast as that of parent EPL. The increased porosity, on the one hand, led to the increase in interparticle and intraparticle bonding forces during tableting and, on the other hand, facilitated water intrusion into tablets for disintegration and dissolution. Porous particle design is therefore promising, especially for drugs with both poor compactibility and dissolution.

Abstract
This study describes the preparation, characterization and performance of a novel excipient for use in oro-dispersible tablets (ODT). The excipient (Cop–CM) consists of chitin and mannitol. The excipient with optimal physicochemical properties was obtained at a chitin: mannitol ratio of 2:8 (w/w) and produced by roll compaction (RC). Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier transform-Infrared (FT-IR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) techniques were used to characterize Cop–CM, in addition to characterization of its powder and ODT dosage form. The effect of particle size distribution of Cop–CM was investigated and found to have no significant influence on the overall tablet physical properties. The compressibility parameter (a) for Cop–CM was calculated from a Kawakita plot and found to be higher (0.661) than that of mannitol (0.576) due to the presence of the highly compressible chitin (0.818). Montelukast sodium and domperidone ODTs produced, using Cop–CM, displayed excellent physicochemical properties. The exceptional binding, fast wetting and superdisintegration properties of Cop–CM, in comparison with commercially available co-processed ODT excipients, results in a unique multifunctional base which can successfully be used in the formulation of oro-dispersible and fast immediate release tablets.

Abstract
Despite the numerous uses of chitin and chitosan as new functional materials of high potential in various fields, they are still behind several directly compressible excipients already dominating pharmaceutical applications. There are, however, new attempts to exploit chitin and chitosan in co-processing techniques that provide a product with potential to act as a direct compression (DC) excipient. This review outlines the compression properties of chitin and chitosan in the context of DC pharmaceutical applications.

Abstract
A work has been done to study the effects of material properties and compression speed on microbial survival and tensile strength in diclofenac tablet formulations. Tablets were produced from three formulations containing diclofenac and different excipients (DC, DL and DDCP). Two types of machines (Hydraulic hand press and single punch press), which compress the tablets at different speeds, were used. The compression properties of the tablets were analyzed using Heckel and Kawakita equations. A 3-dimensional plot was produced to determine the relationship between the tensile strength, compression speed and percentage survival of Bacillus subtilis in the diclofenac tablets. The mode of consolidation of diclofenac was found to depends on the excipient used in the formulation. DC deformed mainly by plastic flow with the lowest Py and Pk values. DL deformed plastically at the initial stage, followed by fragmentation at the later stage of compression, whereas DDCP deformed mainly by fragmentation with the highest Py and Pk values. The ranking of the percentage survival of B. subtilis in the formulations was DDCP > DL > DC, whereas the ranking of the tensile strength of the tablets was DDCP > DL > DC. Tablets produced on a hydraulic hand press with a lower compression speed had a lower percentage survival of microbial contaminants than those produced on a single punch press, which compressed the tablets at a much higher speed. The mode of consolidation of the materials and the speed at which tablet compression is carried out have effects on both the tensile strength of the tablets and the extent of destruction of microbial contaminants in diclofenac tablet formulations.

Abstract
The compressional, mechanical and bioadhesive properties of tablet formulations incorporating a new gum obtained from the incised trunk of the Cedrela odorata tree were evaluated and compared with those containing hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC). Compressional properties were evaluated using Hausner's ratio, Carr's Index, the angle of repose, and Heckel, Kawakita and Gurnham plots. Ibuprofen tablets were prepared using the wet granulation method. Bioadhesive studies were carried out using the rotating cylinder method in either phosphate buffer pH 6.8 or 0.1 M hydrochloric acid media. The gum is a low viscosity polymer (48 cPs), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy revealed the presence of a hydroxyl group. Py and Pk values, which are measures of plasticity, showed the gum to be significantly (p<0.05) more plastic than HPMC, and plasticity increased with polymer concentration. All tablet formulations were non-friable (<1.0%), and the formulations containing the gum had a higher crushing strength (130.95 N) than those containing HPMC (117.85 N) at 2.0% w/w binder. Formulations incorporating the gum were non-disintegrating and had a significantly longer drug release time than those containing HPMC. At the highest binder concentration, Cedrela gum formulations adhered to incised pig ileum longer than those containing HPMC. Cedrela gum exhibited better compressive, flow and binding properties than HPMC and is suitable as a bioadhesive and for sustained release of drugs.

Abstract
Particle rearrangements, compaction under pressure and in vitro dissolution have been evaluated after melt dispersion of ibuprofen, Avicel and Aerosil. The Cooper-Eaton and Kuno equations were utilized for the determination of particle rearrangement and compression behavior from tap density and compact data. Particle rearrangement could be divided into two stages as primary and secondary rearrangement. Transitional tapping between the stages was found to be 20-25 taps in ibuprofen crystalline powder, which was increased up to 45 taps with all formulated powders. Compaction in the rearrangement stages was increased in all the formulations with respect to pure ibuprofen. Significantly increased compaction of ibuprofen under pressure can be achieved using Avicel by melt dispersion technique, which could be beneficial in ibuprofen tablet manufacturing by direct compression. SEM, FTIR and DSC have been utilized for physicochemical characterization of the melt dispersion powder materials. Dissolution of ibuprofen from compacted tablet of physical mixture and melt dispersion particles has also been improved greatly in the following order: Ibc<Ibsmd1<Ibsmd2<Ibsmp10<Ibsmd5<Ibsmd10.

Abstract
A co-processed excipient was prepared from commercially available crystalline mannitol and α-chitin using direct compression as well as spray, wet, and dry granulation. The effect of the ratio of the two components, percentage of lubricant and particle size, on the properties of the prepared co-processed excipient has been investigated. α-Chitin forms non-hygroscopic, highly compactable, disintegrable compacts when co-processed with crystalline mannitol. The compaction properties of the co-processed mannitol-chitin mixture were found to be dependent upon the quantity of mannitol added to chitin, in addition to the granulation procedure used. Optimal physicochemical properties of the excipient, from a manufacturing perspective, were obtained using a co-processed mannitol-chitin (2:8, w/w) mixture prepared by wet granulation (Cop-MC). Disintegration time, crushing strength, and friability of tablets, produced from Cop-MC using magnesium stearate as a lubricant, were found to be independent of the particle size of the prepared granules. The inherent binding and disintegration properties of the compressed Cop-MC are useful for the formulation of poorly compressible, high-strength, and low-strength active pharmaceutical ingredients. The ability to co-process α-chitin with crystalline mannitol allows chitin to be used as a valuable industrial pharmaceutical excipient.

Abstract
A study has been made of the effects of sun and oven drying methods on the physicochemical characteristics and compressibility of Okra powder and the release properties of its metronidazole tablet formulation. Corn starch was used as the reference standard. The mechanical properties of the tablets were evaluated using crushing strength and friability, while the release properties were determined using the disintegration times and dissolution rates. The results obtained showed that sun-dried Okra powder had smaller particle size, exhibited good flow and possessed higher hydration and swelling capacities compared to the oven dried samples. The compressibility of Okra powders assessed by the indices of plasticity from Heckel (Py) and Kawakita plots (Pk) showed that sun dried Okra powders had higher Py but lower Pk values than the oven-dried Okra powder. Metronidazole tablets formulated with oven dried Okra powder formed stronger tablets than tablets containing sun dried Okra powder. Generally, tablets containing sun dried Okra powders had faster disintegration and dissolution than tablets formulated with oven-dried powder. The results suggest that the choice of drying method during the processing of pharmaceutical raw materials is critical to its physicochemical properties and the release properties of its tablet formulations.

Abstract
A study has been made of the compression properties of khaya gum matrices and the effects of drug concentration and method of preparation of the material on the compression, mechanical and the drug release characteristics of the matrices. Khaya gum matrix tablets were prepared by direct compression and wet granulation methods. The compression properties of the formulations were assessed using the equations of Heckel and Kawakita. The mechanical properties of the tablets were evaluated using crushing strength and friability of the tablets, whereas the release properties of the tablets were evaluated by using the disintegration and dissolution times. The results obtained show that khaya gum deformed mainly by plastic deformation. The compression properties of the formulations were affected by the concentration of the drug and the method of preparation of the materials for compression. Tablets prepared by wet granulation showed faster onset and higher amount of plastic deformation during compression than those prepared by direct compression. Tablets containing dicalcium phosphate showed higher mechanical strength and disintegration and dissolution times. Wet granulation also increased the mechanical strength of the tablet without significantly affecting the drug release characteristics from the matrix tablets. Thus, the wet granulation method could be useful in the preparation of khaya gum matrix tablet with acceptable mechanical properties and drug release properties.

Abstract
A study has been made of the effects of pigeon pea starch obtained from the plant Cajanus cajan (L) Millisp. (family Fabaceae) and plantain starch obtained from the unripe fruit of Musa paradisiaca L. (family Musaceae) on the compressional, mechanical, and disintegration properties of paracetamol tablets in comparison with official corn starch BP. Analysis of compressional properties was done by using density measurements, and the Heckel and Kawakita equations, whereas the mechanical properties of the tablets were evaluated by using tensile strength (T--a measure of bond strength) and brittle fracture index (BFI--a measure of lamination tendency). The ranking for the mean yield pressure, P(y), for the formulations containing the different starches was generally corn < pigeon pea < plantain starch while the ranking for P(k), an inverse measure of the amount of plasticity, was pigeon pea < plantain < corn starch, which indicated that formulations containing corn starch generally exhibited the fastest onset of plastic deformation, whereas those formulations containing pigeon pea starch exhibited the highest amount of plastic deformation during tableting. The tensile strength of the tablets increased with increase in concentration of the starches while the Brittle Fracture Index decreased. The ranking for T was pigeon pea > plantain > corn starch while the ranking for BFI was corn > plantain > pigeon pea starch. The bonding capacity of the formulations was in general agreement with the tensile strength results. The disintegration time (DT) of the formulation increased with concentration of plantain and corn starches but decreased with concentration of pigeon pea starch. The general ranking of DT values was plantain < pigeon pea < corn starch. Notably, formulations containing pigeon pea starch exhibited the highest bond strength and lowest brittleness, suggesting the usefulness of pigeon pea starch in producing strong tablets with minimal lamination tendency. Plantain starch, on the other hand, would be more useful where faster disintegration of tablet is desired. The results show that the starches could be useful in various formulations depending on the intended use of the tablets with the implication that the experimental starches can be developed for commercial purposes.

Abstract
A study was made of the compressional characteristics of native and pregelatinized forms of sorghum, plantain, and corn starches and the mechanical properties of their tablets. Compressional characteristics were analyzed using density measurements and the Heckel and Kawakita plots. Pregelatinized starches exhibited more densification than native starches during die filling and at low pressures. The ranking for the mean yield pressure (Py) values for the starches was plantain < corn < sorghum, with the pregelatinized starches having lower values than the native starches. The ranking for the values of another pressure term, Pk--an inverse measure of plasticity, was corn < plantain < sorghum, but with the native starches having the lower values. For the tablets, the ranking for values of tensile strength (T) was corn > plantain > sorghum, while the ranking for the brittle fracture index (BFI) was plantain > corn > sorghum. Tablets made from pregelatinized starches had lower T and BFI values than those made from native starches. The results suggest that pregelatinization of the starches facilitated faster onset of plastic deformation but reduced the amount of plastic deformation which occurred during the compression process.

Abstract
The influence of khaya gum, a binding agent obtained from Khaya grandifolia (Meliaceae family), on the bulk, compressional, and tabletting characteristics of a paracetamol tablet formulation was studied in comparison with the effects of two standard binders: polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP; molecular weight 40,000) and gelatin. The relative ability of khaya gum to destroy any residual microbial contamination in the binder or in the formulation during tabletting was also studied using Bacillus subtilis spores as a model. Formulations containing khaya gum exhibited more densification than formulations containing PVP and gelatin during die filling, but less densification due to rearrangement at low pressures. The mean yield pressure of the formulation particles obtained from Heckel plots, and another pressure term, also inversely related to plasticity, obtained from Kawakita plots, showed dependence on the nature and concentration of the binder, with formulations containing khaya gum exhibiting the lowest and highest values respectively. The values of the pressure terms suggest that the yield pressure relates to the onset of plastic deformation during compression, while the Kawakita pressure relates to the total amount of plastic deformation occurring during the compression process. Tablets made from formulations containing khaya gum had the lowest tensile strength values but also the lowest tendency to laminate or cap, as indicated by their lowest brittleness. All the tablets had friability values < 1% at higher concentrations of the three binders. In addition, khaya gum demonstrated a comparable ability to destroy microorganisms in the formulation during tabletting as the two binders. The characterization of the formulations suggests that khaya gum can be developed into a commercial binding agent for particular tablets.
