Abstract
Semi-solid extrusion (SSE) 3D printing has recently attracted increased attention for its pharmaceutical application as a potential method for small-batch manufacturing of personalised solid dosage forms. It has the advantage of allowing ambient temperature printing, which is especially beneficial for the 3D printing of thermosensitive drugs. In this study, the effects of polymeric compositions (single hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) system and binary HPMC + polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) system), disintegrant (silicon oxide (SiO2)), and active pharmaceutical ingredients (tranexamic acid (TXA) and paracetamol (PAC)) on the printability of semisolid inks and the qualities of SSE printed drug-loaded tablets were investigated. Printability is defined by the suitability of the material for the process in terms of its physical properties during extrusions and post-extrusion, including rheology, solidification time, avoiding slumping, etc. The rheological properties of the inks were investigated as a function of polymeric compositions and drug concentrations and further correlated with the printability of the inks. The SSE 3D printed tablets were subjected to a series of physicochemical properties characterisations and in vitro drug release performance evaluations. The results indicated that an addition of SiO2 would improve 3D printing shape fidelity (e.g., pore area and porosity) by altering the ink rheology. The pores of HPMC + PVP + 5PAC prints completely disappeared after 12 hours of drying (pore area = 0 mm2). An addition of SiO2 significantly improved the pore area of the prints which are 3.5 ± 0.1 mm2. It was noted that the drug release profile of PAC significantly increased (p < 0.05) when additive SiO2 was incorporated in the formulation. This could be due to a significantly higher porosity of HPMC + PVP + SiO2 + PAC (70.3 ± 0.2%) compared to HPMC + PVP + PAC (47.6 ± 2.1%). It was also likely that SiO2 acted as a disintegrant speeding up the drug release process. Besides, the incorporation of APIs with different aqueous solubilities, as well as levels of interaction with the polymeric system showed significant impacts on the structural fidelity and subsequently the drug release performance of 3D printed tablets.

Investigation into powder tribo-charging of pharmaceuticals. Part I: Process-induced charge via twin-screw feeding. Int J Pharm 2020; 591:120014.

Abstract
Powder feeding is a crucial unit operation in continuous manufacturing (CM) of pharmaceutical products. Twin-screw feeders are typically employed to ensure the accurate mass flow of pharmaceutical materials throughout the production process. Here, contact and separation of particles can give rise to electrostatic charges, affecting feeder performance and final product quality. The knowledge of the material charging tendency would therefore be beneficial for both formulation and process design. At the early stage of product development, only a limited amount of material is available and the propensity of the powders to charge needs to be assessed on lab test equipment, which not necessarily represent the material state during processing. In this study, the tribo-charging behaviour of a set of common pharmaceutical materials (i.e., microcrystalline cellulose, D-mannitol, paracetamol and magnesium stearate) was experimentally evaluated. To this end, powder materials were let to flow over the stainless-steel pipes of the GranuCharge™ instrument. The resulting charge was compared to the one acquired during twin-screw feeding. In both cases, paracetamol exhibited the highest charging tendency followed by D-mannitol and microcrystalline cellulose and last by magnesium stearate. A good correlation was found for charge values obtained for both methods, despite the different tribo-charging mechanisms involved in the two set-ups. However, these differences in experimental set-ups led to diverse magnitudes and, in one case, polarity of charge. Additionally, an extensive material characterization was performed on the selected powders and results were statistically analyzed to identify critical material attributes (CMAs) affecting powder tribo-charging. A strong correlation was obtained between the measured charge and inter-particle friction. This indicated the latter as one of the most influencing material characteristic impacting the powder tribo-charging phenomenon of the selected materials.

Abstract
Three-dimensional printing (3DP) has a significant impact on organ transplant, cosmetic surgery, surgical planning, prosthetics and other medical fields. Recently, 3 DP attracted the attention as a promising method for the production of small-scale drug production. The knowledge expansion about the population differences in metabolism and genetics grows the need for personalised medicine substantially. In personalised medicine, the patient receives a tailored dose and the release profile is based on his pharmacokinetics data. 3 DP is expected to be one of the leading solutions for the personalisation of the drug dispensing. This technology can fabricate a drug-device with complicated geometries and fillings to obtain the needed drug release profile. The extrusionbased 3 DP is the most explored method for investigating the feasibility of the technology to produce a novel dosage form with properties that are difficult to achieve using the conventional industrial methods. Extrusionbased 3 DP is divided into two techniques, the semi-solid extrusion (SSE) and the fused deposition modeling (FDM). This review aims to explain the extrusion principles behind the two techniques and discuss their capabilities to fabricate novel dosage forms. The advantages and limitations observed through the application of SSE and FDM for fabrication of drug dosage forms were discussed in this review. Further exploration and development are required to implement this technology in the healthcare frontline for more effective and personalised treatment.

Abstract
This research work presents the use of the Quality by Design (QbD) concept for optimization of the spherical agglomeration crystallization method in the case of the active agent, ambroxol hydrochloride (AMB HCl). AMB HCl spherical crystals were formulated by the spherical agglomeration method, which was applied as an antisolvent technique. Spherical crystals have good flowing properties, which makes the direct compression tableting method applicable. This means that the amount of additives used can be reduced and smaller tablets can be formed. For the risk assessment, LeanQbD Software was used. According to its results, four independent variables (mixing type and time, dT (temperature difference between solvent and antisolvent), and composition (solvent/antisolvent volume ratio)) and three dependent variables (mean particle size, aspect ratio, and roundness) were selected. Based on these, a 2–3 mixed-level factorial design was constructed, crystallization was accomplished, and the results were evaluated using Statistica for Windows 13 program. Product assay was performed and it was revealed that improvements in the mean particle size (from ~13 to ~200 µm), roundness (from ~2.4 to ~1.5), aspect ratio (from ~1.7 to ~1.4), and flow properties were observed while polymorphic transitions were avoided.

Abstract
This study aimed to develop novel co-processed tablet fillers based on the principle of particle engineering for direct compaction and to compare the characteristics of co-processed products obtained by fluid-bed coating and co-spray drying, respectively. Water-soluble mannitol and water-insoluble calcium carbonate were selected as representative fillers for this study. Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), serving as a surface property modifier, was distributed on the surface of primary filler particles via the two co-processing methods. Both fundamental and functional properties of the products were comparatively investigated. The results showed that functional properties of the fillers, like flowability, compactibility, and drug-loading capacity, were effectively improved by both co-processing methods. However, fluid-bed coating showed greater advantages over co-spray drying in some aspects, which was mainly attributed to the remarkable differences in some fundamental properties of co-processed powders, like particle size, surface topology, and particle structure. For example, the more irregular surface and porous structure induced by fluid-bed coating could contribute to better compaction properties and lower lubricant sensitivity due to the increasing contact area and mechanical interlocking between particles under pressure. More effective surface distribution of HPMC during fluid-bed coating was also a contributor. In addition, such a porous agglomerate structure could also reduce the separation of drug and excipients after mixing, resulting in the improvement in drug loading capacity and tablet uniformity. In summary, fluid-bed coating appears to be more promising for co-processing than spray drying in some aspects, and co-processed excipients produced by it have a great prospect for further investigations and development.

Abstract
Active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are predominantly organic solid powders. Due to their bulk properties many APIs require processing to improve pharmaceutical formulation and manufacturing in the preparation for various drug dosage forms. Improved powder flow and protection of the APIs are often anticipated characteristics in pharmaceutical manufacturing. In this work, we have modified acetaminophen particles with atomic layer deposition (ALD) by conformal nanometer scale coatings in a one-step coating process. According to the results, ALD, utilizing common chemistries for Al2O3, TiO2 and ZnO, is shown to be a promising coating method for solid pharmaceutical powders. Acetaminophen does not undergo degradation during the ALD coating process and maintains its stable polymorphic structure. Acetaminophen with nanometer scale ALD coatings shows slowed drug release. ALD TiO2 coated acetaminophen particles show cytocompatibility whereas those coated with thicker ZnO coatings exhibit the most cytotoxicity among the ALD materials under study when assessed in vitro by their effect on intestinal Caco-2 cells.

AAPS PharmSciTech 2017; 18:224-230.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to prepare APAP crystals by cooling, anti-solvent, and solvent evaporation crystallization to enhance its dissolution rate and to make comparisons of the three methods. Agitating speeds and types were regarded as factors affecting crystallization procedure. Samples were made with different ratios of PEG4000. They were characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Dissolution tests were conducted to assess their dissolution property. The proportions of carriers existing in crystals by cooling and anti-solvent crystallization ranged from 1.3 to 5.1%. Mean dissolution time (MDT) of samples by the two methods was about 3 min, which was 17.2 min for untreated APAP. Addition of too much PEG4000 in solvent evaporation crystallization could decrease dissolution rate of APAP. Samples agitated by a rotor with speed of 100, 500, and 1000 rpm dissolved faster than those by a high shear mixer with speed of 3400 and 5000 rpm or by a glass rod. Agitating speed and type could affect particle size and drug dissolution. Dissolution enhancement of APAP might be attributed to decrease of fine particles and increase of particle wettability.

Abstract
The current work investigates the application of low intensity ultrasonic irradiation for improving the cooling crystallization of Mefenamic Acid for the first time. The crystal shape and size has been analyzed with the help of optical microscope and image analysis software respectively. The effect of ultrasonic irradiation on crystal size, particle size distribution (PSD) and yield has been investigated, also establishing the comparison with conventional approach. It has been observed that application of ultrasound not only enhances the yield but also reduces the induction time for crystallization as compared to conventional cooling crystallization technique. In the presence of ultrasound, the maximum yield was obtained at optimum conditions of power dissipation of 30W and ultrasonic irradiation time of 10min. The yield was further improved by application of ultrasound in cycles where the formed crystals are allowed to grow in the absence of ultrasonic irradiation. It was also observed that the desired crystal morphology was obtained for the ultrasound assisted crystallization. The conventionally obtained needle shaped crystals transformed into plate shaped crystals for the ultrasound assisted crystallization. The particle size distribution was analyzed using statistical means on the basis of skewness and kurtosis values. It was observed that the skewness and excess kurtosis value for ultrasound assisted crystallization was significantly lower as compared to the conventional approach. XRD analysis also revealed better crystal properties for the processed mefenamic acid using ultrasound assisted approach. The overall process intensification benefits of mefenamic acid crystallization using the ultrasound assisted approach were reduced particle size, increase in the yield and uniform PSD coupled with desired morphology.

Abstract
Mannitol is a pharmaceutical excipient that is receiving increased popularity in solid dosage forms. The aim of this study was to provide comparative evaluation on the effect of mannitol concentration on the physicochemical, mechanical, and pharmaceutical properties of lyophilised mannitol. The results showed that the physicochemical, mechanical and pharmaceutical properties of lyophilised mannitol powders are strong functions of mannitol concentration. By decreasing mannitol concentration, the true density, bulk density, cohesivity, flowability, netcharge-to-mass ratio, and relative degree of crystallinity of LM were decreased, whereas the breakability, size distribution, and size homogeneity of lyophilised mannitol particles were increased. The mechanical properties of lyophilised mannitol tablets improved with decreasing mannitol concentration. The use of lyophilised mannitol has profoundly improved the dissolution rate of indomethacin from tablets in comparison to commercial mannitol. This improvement exhibited an increasing trend with decreasing mannitol concentration. In conclusion, mannitols lyophilised from lower concentrations are more desirable in tableting than mannitols from higher concentrations due to their better mechanical and dissolution properties.

Abstract
We report novel pharmaceutical cocrystal of a popular antipyretic drug paracetamol (PCA) with coformer 5-nitroisophhthalic acid (5NIP) to improve its tabletability. The cocrystal (PCA-5NIP at molar ratio of 1:1) was synthesized by solvent evaporation technique using methanol as solvent. The physicochemical properties of cocrystal were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetry analysis (TGA), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), hot stage polarized microscopy (HSPM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Stability of the cocrystal was assessed by storing them at 40°C/75% RH for one month. Compared to PCA, the cocrystal displayed superior tableting performance. PCA-5NIP cocrystal showed a similar dissolution profile as compared to PCA and exhibited good stability. This study showed the utility of PCA-5NIP cocrystal for improving mechanical properties of PCA.

Abstract
Ibuprofen exhibits poor flow, poor compaction and dissolution behaviour, and it is prone to capping after ejection from the die, therefore it needs particle modification.

Abstract
Polyethylene oxide (PEO) undergoes structural adjustments caused by elevated temperatures, which results in loss of its stability within direct compression tablets. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of filler solubility on the drug delivery process of matrix tablets containing drugs with different water-solubility properties and stored at elevated temperature. The results demonstrated that in the case of propranolol HCl (highly water-soluble) tablet matrices, soluble lactose promoted drug release, whereas, a stable release of drug was observed with insoluble DCP. A drug release pattern similar to the propranolol HCl formulation containing DCP was obtained for hydrophilic matrix tablets containing either lactose or DCP for the less water-soluble drug, zonisamide. In the case of the partially water-soluble drug, theophylline, formulated with lower molecular weight PEO 750, drug release increased considerably in the presence of both fillers with increasing storage time, however a stable release rate (similar to fresh samples) was observed in the case of higher molecular weight PEO 303 tablet matrices containing theophylline with either lactose or DCP. The hydration properties (e.g. solubility) of the diluents had a considerable effect on drug release behavior from various model matrices; this effect was dependent on both molecular weight of PEO and solubility of drug.

Abstract
The purpose of this work was to develop stable xylitol particles with modified physical properties, improved compactibility and enhanced pharmaceutical performance without altering polymorphic form of xylitol. Xylitol was crystallized using antisolvent crystallization technique in the presence of various hydrophilic polymer additives, i.e., polyethylene glycol (PEG), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) at a range of concentrations. The crystallization process did not influence the stable polymorphic form or true density of xylitol. However, botryoidal-shaped crystallized xylitols demonstrated different particle morphologies and lower powder bulk and tap densities in comparison to subangular-shaped commercial xylitol. Xylitol crystallized without additive and xylitol crystallized in the presence of PVP or PVA demonstrated significant improvement in hardness of directly compressed tablets; however, such improvement was observed to lesser extent for xylitol crystallized in the presence of PEG. Crystallized xylitols produced enhanced dissolution profiles for indomethacin in comparison to original xylitol. The influence of additive concentration on tablet hardness was dependent on the type of additive, whereas an increased concentration of all additives provided an improvement in the dissolution behavior of indomethacin. Antisolvent crystallization using judiciously selected type and concentration of additive can be a potential approach to prepare xylitol powders with promising physicomechanical and pharmaceutical properties.
