Study of Orally Disintegrating Tablets Using Erythritol as an Excipient Produced by Moisture-Activated Dry Granulation (MADG). Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2022; 15:ph15081004. [PMID: 36015152 PMCID: PMC9415806 DOI: 10.3390/ph15081004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2022] [Revised: 08/09/2022] [Accepted: 08/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Moisture-activated dry granulation (MADG) is an eco-friendly granulation method that uses a small amount of water and insoluble excipients to absorb moisture. MADG is expected to improve productivity and reduce costs. Erythritol, an excipient used for preparing orally disintegrating tablets (ODTs), has poor tabletability and is difficult to form into tablets by conventional methods, such as high-shear granulation (HSG) and direct compression. In this study, we optimized the manufacturing conditions for ODTs to improve the tabletability of erythritol using MADG. The disintegration time of tablets made using the MADG method was approximately one-tenth that of those made using the HSG method, and the hardness was approximately 1.4 times higher. Moreover, MADG could delay disintegration and improve tabletability. We further attempted to optimize the manufacturing conditions using MADG, particularly in terms of the amount of water used. The disintegration time increased as the amount of added water increased. Moreover, water absorption tests revealed that capillary wetting decreased as the amount of water added increased, but the initial wetting did not change. These results suggested that the disintegration time was prolonged because of the increase in granule density and decrease in capillary wetting with the increase in the amount of added water. The hardness of the tablets increased because of the easy deformation of the granules after the addition of up to 3% water; however, when more than 3% water was added, the hardness decreased because of the aggregation of the granules with the excess water. Finally, two-dimensional maps of the effect of the amount of added water and water activity indicated that tablets with a hardness of ≥80 N and a disintegration time of ≤15 s could be produced by adjusting the amount of added water to within the range of 2.2–3.3% and water activity to 0.3–0.53. These results indicate that MADG can improve the tabletability of erythritol and be used for the granulation of ODTs. Tablets with appropriate hardness and disintegration properties can be produced by adjusting the water content to approximately 2.7% and the water activity to approximately 0.4 when producing ODTs with MADG.

Abstract
Although dual-release mechanism bilayer tablets containing one drug in both immediate- and sustained-release layers are widely used to improve therapeutic efficiency, studies quantitatively analyzing the drug amount released from each layer and the mutual effect of each layer's mechanical properties on drug product quality are limited. Here, the formulation of a dual-release bilayer tablet containing sarpogrelate HCl was optimized with a placebo layer and quality by design (QbD) approach. The placebo layer was developed to replace the active pharmaceutical ingredient and its mechanical properties were evaluated. The formulation was developed using the placebo layer to quantitatively analyze the drug released from each layer. The mixture design and Monte Carlo simulation enabled robust design space identification. The mutual effect of each layer's mechanical properties on drug product quality was confirmed by multivariate analysis using the optimal settings in the design space. The optimized formulation was characterized by comparison with a reference drug for various quality attributes and in vivo pharmacokinetic parameters, which ensured the bioequivalence of the optimized bilayer tablet with the reference drug. This study shows that the integration of QbD and a placebo layer is an effective optimization strategy for dual-release bilayer tablets containing one drug in different layers.

Abstract
In clinical practice, a thickening solution is frequently used to allow easy swallowing of tablets by patients suffering from dysphagia. This study investigated the effect of the thickening solution on tablet disintegration. Model tablets containing different disintegrants were prepared and their disintegration times (DTs) measured using standard methods. We also performed an additional disintegration test on the model tablets after immersing them for 1 min in thickening solution containing xanthan gum (XTG-SOL) ("modified disintegration test"). The DTs of the test tablets were substantially prolonged by immersion in XTG-SOL. Furthermore, the effect of the XTG-SOL on the DTs differed depending on the type of disintegrant contained in the tablets. To investigate in more detail this prolongation of tablet disintegration, we examined the contribution of tablet properties to their DTs. The properties analyzed included contact angle, T2 relaxation time, wetting time, and water absorption ratio. The contributions of these properties to the DTs were analyzed using multiple regression analysis. This analysis clarified that the tablet properties affecting DTs changed after immersion in XTG-SOL: wetting time significantly affected the DTs measured in the normal disintegration test, while T2 was crucial for the DTs of tablets immersed in XTG-SOL. These findings provide valuable information for design of tablet formulations, and for clinical medication management for older patients with dysphagia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Paracetamol is a common antipyretic and analgesic medicine used in childhood illness by parents and physicians worldwide. Paracetamol has a bitter taste that is considered as a significant barrier for drug administration. This study aimed to develop an oral dosage form that is palatable and easy to swallow by pediatric patients as well as to overcome the shortcomings of liquid formulations. METHODS The paracetamol was encapsulated in beads, which were prepared mainly from alginate and chitosan through electrospray technique. The paracetamol beads were sprinkled on the instant jelly prepared from glycine, ι-carrageenan and calcium lactate gluconate. The paracetamol instant jelly characteristics, in terms of physical appearance, texture, rheology, in vitro drug release and palatability were assessed on a human volunteer. RESULTS The paracetamol instant jelly was easily reconstituted in 20 mL of water within 2 min to form jelly with acceptable consistency and texture. The jelly must be ingested within 30 min after reconstitution to avoid the bitter taste. The palatability assessment carried out on 12 human subjects established the similar palatability and texture of the paracetamol instant jelly dosage comparable to the commercial paracetamol suspension and was found to be even better in overcoming the aftertaste of paracetamol. CONCLUSION Such findings indicate that paracetamol instant jelly will compensate for the use of sweetening and flavoring agents as well as develop pediatric dosage forms with limited undesired excipients.

Aceclofenac fast dispersible tablet formulations: Effect of different concentration levels of Avicel PH102 on the compactional, mechanical and drug release characteristics. PLoS One 2020; 15:e0223201. [PMID: 32050259 PMCID: PMC7015698 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0223201] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2019] [Accepted: 01/21/2020] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
The objective of this study was based on the formulation development of fast dispersible Aceclofenac tablets (100 mg) and to evaluate the influence of pharmaceutical mixtures of directly compressible Avicel PH102 with Mannitol and Ac-di-sol on the compressional, mechanical characteristics and drug release properties. Fast dispersible Aceclofenac formulations were developed by central composite design (CCD). Among them the best possible formulation was selected on the basis of micromeritic properties, appropriate tablet weight and disintegration time for further study. Tablets were directly compressed using manual hydraulic press with a compressional force ranging from 7.2 to 77.2 MN/m2. Pre and post compression studies were performed and the compressed formulations (FA-FF) were assessed for different quality tests. The Heckel and Kawakita equations were applied for determination of compressional behavior of formulations. The quality attributes suggested that formulation (FB) containing avicel PH 102 (20%), mannitol (25%) and ac-di-sol (3%) as best optimized formulation showing better mechanical strength i.e. hardness 35.40 ± 6.93N, tensile strength 0.963 MN/m2, and friability 0.68%. Furthermore, compressional analysis of FB showed lowest PY value 59.520 MN/m2 and Pk value 1.040 MN/m2 indicating plasticity of the material. Formulation FB disintegrated rapidly within 21 seconds and released 99.92% drug after 45 min in phosphate buffer pH 6.8. Results of drug release kinetics showed that all formulations followed Weibull and First-order models in three different dissolution media. Avicel PH102 based formulation mixture exhibit excellent compactional strength with rapid disintegration and quick drug release.

Abstract
The Green fluidized bed granulation (GFBG) technology is based on the moisture activated dry granulation (MADG) technique and consists only of a mixing and a spraying process using a fluidized bed granulator, requiring no heating process. This provides a less energy-consuming and environment-friendly granulation method compared to current fluidized bed granulation (FBG) and high-shear granulation (HSG) methods. The aim of this study is to compare and evaluate the manufacturability, and granule and tablet properties among GFBG, MADG, FBG and HSG. The GFBG process time took less than 20 min for producing final blends at a 700 g scale, which was comparable to MADG. This process time was significantly shorter than that of FBG and HSG. GFBG not only had the shortest process time but also reduced the number of manufacturing machines compared to FBG and HSG. The Hausner ratio (HR) of granules from GFBG (1.30) indicated a good flowability, and no problems were observed in the tablet mass variability during compression. Tablets produced using GFBG achieved sufficient tensile strength (>1.5 MPa) even at a low compression force and demonstrated the fastest disintegration time compared to the other manufacturing methods. Tablet disintegration is related to wettability and porosity, therefore the tablet wettability (initial and capillary wetting) and tablet porosity were investigated. As a result, the capillary wetting of the tablets produced using GFBG was 3.6 times higher than the tablets produced using FBG, which might have affected the fast disintegration of the tablets produced using GFBG.

Abstract
Optimization of a lyophilized fast-disintegrating tablet (LFDT) formulation containing naratriptan hydrochloride, an antimigraine drug, was the foremost objective of the study, aiming in achieving fast headache pain relief. The Design-Expert® v10 software was used to generate formulations using D-optimal mixture design with four components: gelatin (X1), hydrolyzed gelatin (X2), glycine (X3), and mannitol (X4) of total solid material (TSM) w/w. The effect of the relative proportion of each component was determined on friability (Y1), hardness (Y2), and in vitro disintegration time (Y3), which was then applied for formulation optimization. In addition, their effect on tablet porosity was determined via scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Drug-excipient interaction was evaluated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). A comparative dissolution study against the conventional tablets was studied. Accelerated stability study was carried out in (Al/Al) and (Al/PVC) blister packs. An in vivo pharmacokinetic study was carried out to compare the optimized formulation and the conventional tablets. The optimized formulation's responses were 0.30%, 3.4 kg, and 6.12 s for Y1, Y2, and Y3, respectively. No drug-excipient interaction was specified via DSC. The optimized formulation exhibited porous structure as determined via SEM. Dissolution study demonstrated complete dissolution within 1.5 min. Study indicated stability for 78 months in (Al/Al) blister packs. In vivo pharmacokinetic study demonstrated that Cmax, AUClast, and AUCinf were significantly higher for the developed formulation. As well, the Tmax was 1 h earlier than that of convenient tablet. An LFDT would achieve a faster onset of action for naratriptan compared to other formulations.

Abstract
PURPOSE In the present study rapid melt tablets (RMT's) of carvedilol were prepared by using ionotropic-gelated chitosan nanoparticles using a spray-drying method. Carvedilol is beta-adrenergic antagonist and its oral bioavailability is about 25-35% because of first pass metabolism. METHODS The spray-dried microparticles were formulated into RMT's using a wet granulation process. The Formulation and optimization of carvedilol loaded RMTs using nano and microparticulate chitosan based system (NMCS) was done by using 32 factorial designs. RESULTS Drug entrapment efficiency of about 64.9 % (w/w) and loading capacity of 14.44% (w/w) were achieved for the microparticles, which were ranged from 1 μm to 4 μm in diameter. RESULTS of disintegration tests showed that the formulated RMTs could be completely dissolved within 40 seconds. Dissolution studies suggested that Carvedilol is released more slowly from tablets made using the microencapsulation process compared with tablets containing Carvedilol that is free or in the form of nanoparticles. CONCLUSION RESULTS shown that the development of new RMTs designed with crosslinked microparticle might be a rational way to overcome the unwanted taste of conventional RMTs and the side effects related to Carvedilol intrinsic characteristics. The development of Carvedilol NMCS using ludiflash as RMTs could be used as a promising approach for improving the solubility and oral bioavailability of water insoluble drug.

Abstract
CONTEXT The bitter taste of drug is masked by the exchange of ionized drugs with counter ions of ion exchange resin, forming "resinate". Cyclodextrin reduces the unpleasant taste and enhances the drug solubility by encapsulating drug molecules into its central cavity. OBJECTIVE Oral disintegrating tablets (ODTs) using the combination of ion exchange resin and cyclodextrin was developed, to mask the bitter taste and enhance drug dissolution. METHODS Meloxicam (MX) was selected as a model drug. Formulations containing various forms of MX (free drug, MX-loaded resin or resinate, complexes of MX and 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD) or MX/HPβCD complexes, and a mixture of resinate and MX/HPβCD complexes) were made by direct compression. The ODTs were evaluated for weight variation, thickness, diameter, hardness, friability, disintegration time, wetting time, MX content, MX release, degree of bitter taste and stability. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The tablet hardness was ∼3 kg/in(2), and the friability was <1%. Tablets formulated with resinate and the mixture of resinate and MX/HPβCD complexes disintegrated rapidly within 60 s, which is the acceptable limit for ODTs. These results were corresponded to the in vivo disintegration and wetting times. However, only tablets containing the mixture of resinate and MX/HPβCD complexes provided complete MX dissolution and successfully masked the bitter taste. In addition, this tablet was stable at least 6 months. CONCLUSIONS The combination of ion exchange resin and cyclodextrin could be used in ODTs to mask the bitter taste and enhance the dissolution of drugs that are weakly soluble in water.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated molecular-level variation of tablets caused by grinding and its effect on their actual moisture absorbability. Model tablets contained acetaminophen as an active pharmaceutical ingredient and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) as an excipient. Different levels of grinding were applied during the tablet formulation to intentionally cause the structural variation of the MCC. The moisture absorbability of tablets showed obvious variation depending on the grinding time, and the corresponding change in near-infrared spectra was readily captured. The detailed analysis of the variation of the band frequencies (i.e., wavenumber) revealed that the grinding process substantially disintegrates the crystalline and generates a glassy amorphous structure of MCC, which is a requirement to absorb water molecules. Consequently, it is very likely that the change of the moisture absorbability of the tablets is closely related to the development of the amorphous structure. These results indicate that the pharmaceutical product performances can be influenced by the physical properties of the excipient, which in turn can be controlled by the grinding process.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to develop taste-masked oral disintegrating tablets (ODTs) using the combination of ion exchange resin and cyclodextrin, to mask the bitter taste and enhance drug dissolution. Meloxicam (MX) was selected as a model drug with poor water solubility and a bitter taste. Formulations containing various forms of MX (free drug, MX-loaded resin or resinate, complexes of MX and 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD) or MX/HPβCD complexes, and a mixture of resinate and MX/HPβCD complexes) were made and tablets were prepared by direct compression. The ODTs were evaluated for weight variation, thickness, diameter, hardness, friability, disintegration time, wetting time, MX content, MX release, degree of bitter taste, and stability. The results showed that thickness, diameter, weight, and friability did not differ significantly for all of these formulations. The tablet hardness was approximately 3 kg/in.(2), and the friability was less than 1%. Tablets formulated with resinate and the mixture of resinate and MX/HPβCD complexes disintegrated rapidly within 60 s, which is the acceptable limit for ODTs. These results corresponded to the in vivo disintegration and wetting times. However, only tablets containing the mixture of resinate and MX/HPβCD complexes provided complete MX dissolution and successfully masked the bitter taste of MX. In addition, this tablet was stable at least 6 months. The results from this study suggest that the appropriate combination of ion exchange resin and cyclodextrin could be used in ODTs to mask the bitter taste of drug and enhance the dissolution of drugs that are weakly soluble in water.

Abstract
The generally accepted paradigm of 'inert' and 'mono functional' excipient in dosage form has been recently challenged with the development of individual excipients capable of exhibiting multiple functions (e.g. binder-disintegrants, surfactant which affect P-gp function). The proposed study has been designed within the realm of multifunctionality and is the first and novel investigation towards evaluation of aspartic acid as a filler and disintegration enhancing agent for the delivery of biopharmaceutical class IV model drug trimethoprim. The study investigated powder characteristics using angle of repose, laser diffractometry and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The prepared tablets were characterised using Heckel analysis, disintegration time and tensile strength measurements. Although Heckel analysis revealed that both TMP and TMP aspartate salt have high elasticity, the salt form produced a stronger compact which was attributed to the formation of agglomerates. Aspartic acid was found to have high plasticity, but its incorporation into the formulations was found to have a negative impact on the compaction properties of TMP and its salt. Surface morphology investigations showed that mechanical interlocking plays a vital role in binding TMP crystals together during compaction, while the small particle size of TMP aspartate agglomerates was found to have significant impact on the tensile strength of the tablets. The study concluded that aspartic acid can be employed as filler and disintegrant and that compactability within tablets was independent of the surface charge of the excipients.

Abstract
Directly compressible co-processed excipient systems facilitate orodispersible tablets (ODTs) manufacturing. Despite several excipient systems available, it is reported that the incorporation of high drug dose into the tablet mass may negatively affect both disintegration and mechanical properties. Therefore the influence of drug properties on the quality of orodispersible tablets was investigated. Fast dissolving tablet matrix was made of a co-processed excipient system F-Melt. Two grades of F-Melt that differed in composition, particle shape, and specific surface area were used to form tablet matrix. Ibuprofen, diclofenac sodium, and diltiazem hydrochloride were chosen as model drugs of different physicochemical properties such as solubility, particle size, and shape. Ninety formulations containing 12.5, 25, or 50 wt% of the model drug and F-Melt type C or M were prepared by direct compression. The quality of tablets was examined on the base of disintegration time, wetting time, mechanical resistance and texture analysis. The results showed that F-Melt grade, drug solubility, and its dose had an influence on the quality of tablets. From ninety formulations prepared, only four batches containing F-Melt type C and 12.5 wt% of ibuprofen, diclofenac sodium, or diltiazem hydrochloride could be classified as ODTs. Their disintegration time ranged from 41 to 144 s. In the case of F-Melt type M, tablets disintegrating within 101 s of friability below 1% could be prepared only if 12.5 wt% of diclofenac sodium was incorporated into the tablet mass.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of disintegration mechanism of various types of disintegrants on the absorption ratio (AR), wetting time (WT), and disintegration time (DT) of orodispersible tablets (ODTs). ODTs were prepared by direct compression using mannitol as filler and disintegrants selected from a range of swellable, osmotic, and porous disintegrants. Tablets formed were characterized for their water AR, WT, and DT. The porosity and mechanical strength of the tablets were also measured. Results show that the DT of formulated ODTs was directly related to the WT and was a function of the disintegration mechanism of the disintegrant used. The lowest WT and DT were observed for tablets formulated using the osmotic disintegrant sodium citrate and these tablets also showed the lowest AR and porosity. The wetting and disintegration of tablets containing the highly swellable disintegrant, sodium starch glycollate, was slowest despite their high water AR and high tablet porosity. Rapid wetting and disintegration of ODTs were therefore not necessarily related to the porosity of the tablets.

Abstract
Fast disintegrating tablets (FDTs) have received ever-increasing demand during the last decade, and the field has become a rapidly growing area in the pharmaceutical industry. Oral drug delivery remains the preferred route for administration of various drugs. Recent developments in the technology have prompted scientists to develop FDTs with improved patient compliance and convenience. Upon introduction into the mouth, these tablets dissolve or disintegrate in the mouth in the absence of additional water for easy administration of active pharmaceutical ingredients. The popularity and usefulness of the formulation resulted in development of several FDT technologies. FDTs are solid unit dosage forms, which disintegrate or dissolve rapidly in the mouth without chewing and water. FDTs or orally disintegrating tablets provide an advantage particularly for pediatric and geriatric populations who have difficulty in swallowing conventional tablets and capsules. This review describes various formulations and technologies developed to achieve fast dissolution/dispersion of tablets in the oral cavity. In particular, this review describes in detail FDT technologies based on lyophilization, molding, sublimation, and compaction, as well as approaches to enhancing the FDT properties, such as spray drying and use of disintegrants. In addition, taste-masking technologies, experimental measurements of disintegration times, and dissolution are also discussed.

Abstract
Abstract
For industrially manufactured pharmaceutical dosage forms, product quality tests and performance tests are required to ascertain the quality of the final product. Current compendial requirements specify a disintegration and/or a dissolution test to check the quality of oral solid dosage forms. These requirements led to a number of compendial monographs for individual products and, at times, the results obtained may not be reflective of the dosage form performance. Although a general product performance test is desirable for orally disintegrating tablets (ODTs), the complexity of the release controlling mechanisms and short time-frame of release make such tests difficult to establish. For conventional oral solid dosage forms (COSDFs), disintegration is often considered to be the prerequisite for subsequent dissolution. Hence, disintegration testing is usually insufficient to judge product performance of COSDFs. Given the very fast disintegration of ODTs, the relationship between disintegration and dissolution is worthy of closer scrutiny. This article reviews the current status of dissolution testing of ODTs to establish the product quality standards. Based on experimental results, it appears that it may be feasible to rely on the dissolution test without a need for disintegration studies for selected ODTs on the market.

Abstract
In this study, we aimed to design orally disintegrating tablets by employing a formulation design approach that enables the production of such tablets in the same facilities used for the production of solid dosage forms on an industrial scale. First, we examined the relationships between the types of binders used in the tablets and the properties of orally disintegrating tablets prepared by the wet granulation method. Results revealed that partly pregelatinized starch is a relatively suitable binder for orally disintegrating tablets as it also serves as a disintegrant. Next, we employed a central composite design for 2 factors, namely, corn starch and partly pregelatinized starch, in order to design granules suited for orally disintegrating tablets composed of D-mannitol, corn starch or partly pregelatinized starch. The effects of these 2 factors on 3 types of responses, namely, 50% granule size, compressing index and disintegrating index, were analyzed with a software package, and responses to changes in the factors were predicted. This study investigated the effects of binder type and binder content in orally disintegrating tablets, and provided evidence that the binder exerts a strong influence on tablet properties, and is therefore an important component of orally disintegrating tablets.

Abstract
Scopolamine hydrobromide (SH)-loaded microparticles were prepared from a colloidal fluid containing ionotropic-gelated chitosan nanoparticles using a spray-drying method. The spray-dried microparticles were then formulated into orally disintegrating tablets (ODTs) using a wet granulation tablet formation process. A drug entrapment efficiency of about 90% (w/w) and loading capacity of 20% (w/w) were achieved for the microparticles, which ranged from 2 μm to 8 μm in diameter. Results of disintegration tests showed that the formulated ODTs could be completely dissolved within 45 seconds. Drug dissolution profiles suggested that SH is released more slowly from tablets made using the microencapsulation process compared with tablets containing SH that is free or in the form of nanoparticles. The time it took for 90% of the drug to be released increased significantly from 3 minutes for conventional ODTs to 90 minutes for ODTs with crosslinked microparticles. Compared with ODTs made with noncrosslinked microparticles, it was thus possible to achieve an even lower drug release rate using tablets with appropriate chitosan crosslinking. Results obtained indicate that the development of new ODTs designed with crosslinked microparticles might be a rational way to overcome the unwanted taste of conventional ODTs and the side effects related to SH’s intrinsic characteristics.

Abstract
A well known superdisintegrant like croscarmellose sodium or crospovidone loses their quick disintegration property when compressed at more than 4 kg tablet crushing strength (TCS). Therefore, the objective of the present work was to develop a disintegrating system that could be used for preparing fast disintegrating tablets (FDTs) of highly water soluble drug, metoclopramide, without compromising on the mechanical strength, irrespective of the TCS used for compressing the granules. For this purpose disintegrating system consisting of chitosan-alginate (CTN-ALG) complex (1:1): glycine and chitin was developed. The results revealed that when CTN-ALG and glycine were mixed in the ratio of 30:70, the granules exhibited a minimum water sorption time and maximum effective pore radius (R(eff.p)). The addition of chitin (5-10% w/w) into this mixture further enhanced the R(eff.p). Further, increase in the concentration of chitin from 10% to 20% w/w did not produce any significant effect (p>0.05) on the R(eff.p). The FDTs prepared by using CTN-ALG:glycine (30:70) and chitin exhibited increased porosity and lower disintegration time (DT). Further, chitin was found to neutralize the effect of TCS on DT of FDTs. This property of chitin was also observed in FDTs prepared by using croscarmellose sodium (5% w/w) or crospovidone (5% w/w). The reduction in DT of FDTs by chitin was also observed in tablets prepared without the drug. Hence, the effect was not influenced by the solubility component present in the tablets. Overall, the results suggested incorporation of chitin (5-10% w/w) while preparing FDTs of metoclopramide to enhanced the disintegration without compromising their mechanical strength of the tablets.

Abstract
Diazepam is one of the most prescribed benzodiazepines. The purpose of the present research was to optimize the formulation of orodispersible tablets of diazepam. Orodispersible tablets of diazepam were prepared using different types of superdisintegrants (Ac-Di-Sol, sodium starch glycolate, and crospovidone (CP)) and different types of subliming agents (camphor and ammonium bicarbonate (AB)) at different concentrations and two methods of tablets preparations (wet granulation and direct compression methods). The formulations were evaluated for flow properties, wetting time, hardness, friability, content uniformity, in vivo disintegration time (DT), release profiles, and buccal absorption tests. All formulations showed satisfactory mechanical strength except formula F5 which contains camphor and formula F9 which is prepared by direct compression method. The results revealed that the tablets containing CP as a superdisintegrant have good dissolution profile with shortest DT. The optimized formula F7 is prepared using 10% CP as a superdisintegrant and 20% AB as a subliming agent by wet granulation method which shows the shortest DT and good dissolution profile with acceptable stability. This study helps in revealing the effect of formulation processing variables on tablet properties. It can be concluded that the orodispersible tablets of diazepam with better biopharmaceutical properties than conventional tablets could be obtained using formula F7.

Abstract
The objective of the present investigation was to formulate and evaluate orodispersible tablets (ODTs) of ondansetron HCl possessing sufficient mechanical strength by wet granulation or direct compression method. A combination of glycine and chitosan was employed for providing a sweet tasting disintegrating system. The evaluation of ODTs prepared by a wet granulation method revealed that in vitro disintegration time (DT) as well as wetting time (WT) increased and water absorption ratio (WAR) decreased with an increase in concentration of chitosan (as binder). However, an opposite relationship was obtained when ODTs were prepared by direct compression method. The FTIR spectra and DSC analysis indicated that the -NH3+ moieties of chitosan interacted with COO- moieties of glycine in ODTs prepared by the wet granulation method. However, chitosan was found to be present in the unionized state in ODTs prepared by direct compression method. Furthermore, in vitro as well as in vivo disintegration tests revealed that ODTs containing the chitosan-glycine mixture were superior to those containing well known superdisintegrants. The results suggested that the chitosan-glycine system not only improved disintegration time but also made it possible to prepare ODTs with higher crushing strength as compared to tablets containing superdisintegrants.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to optimize and formulate fast disintegrating tablets (FDTs) for nausea and vomiting using aminoacetic acid, carmellose and sodium alginate with enough mechanical strength. Ondansetron HCl (water soluble) or domperidone (water insoluble) drug were added to FDTs and their disintegration behaviour was evaluated. Plackett Burman Screening Design was used to screen the independent active process variables [concentration of aminoacetic acid (X (1)), concentration of carmellose (X (2)) and tablet crushing strength (X (3))] which were found to actively influence the dependent variables [disintegration time in the mouth (DT), wetting time (WT), and water absorption ratio (WAR)] for both the drugs. Also, the coefficients of active variables (DT, WT and WAR) of FDTs containing domperidone was found to be significantly different (P < 0.05) from the coefficients of active factors (X (1), X (2) and X (3)) containing ondansetron HCl FDTs. Further, FDTs containing domperidone was prepared according to central composite design for estimating the effect of active factors (X (1), X (2), X (3)) in extended spherical domain. The regression analysis of quadratic fit revealed that DT, WT and WAR were 98% correlated with active factors (X (1), X (2) or X (3)). The optimized domperidone FDTs were further compared with superdisintegrants (croscarmellose sodium or crospovidone). The data revealed that optimized domperidone FDTs were better than domperidone FDTs containing croscarmellose or crospovidone. Hence, this novel excipients combination can be used for delivery of water insoluble drugs in place of superdisintegrants.
