[PMID: 38998528 PMCID: PMC11241607 DOI: 10.3390/foods13132022] [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: 05/31/2024] [Revised: 06/18/2024] [Accepted: 06/25/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Controlled-release tablets offer several benefits, such as controlled release, odor masking, ease of use, stability, extended shelf life, and reduced production costs. This study developed combined curcumin controlled-release tablets (CCCTs) to increase the bioavailability of curcumin with hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), chitosan, and sodium alginate. The hardness of the CCCTs was 5.63-1.98 kgf, friability was 0.00-1.22%, and disintegration time was 0.00-401.25 min. Differential scanning calorimetry and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy indicated a high compatibility between the excipients and curcumin. CCCTs with chitosan formed a gel structure, impeded disintegration, and reduced the release rate to 72.5% in simulated gastric fluid. In simulated intestinal fluid, CCCT with the HPMC-sodium alginate group formed a polyelectrolyte membrane hydrogel to prolong release from 6 to 12 h. This study developed various CCCT formulations that can be delivered through the gastric or intestinal tracts, using chitosan and HPMC-sodium alginate as excipients, respectively. CCCT can be used as a reference strategy for controlled-release curcumin delivery in the functional and healthcare supplement development.

Modification of Bulk Density, Flow Property and Crystallinity of Microcrystalline Cellulose Prepared from Waste Cotton. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:5664. [PMID: 37629955 PMCID: PMC10456891 DOI: 10.3390/ma16165664] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2023] [Revised: 07/30/2023] [Accepted: 08/04/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023]
Abstract
The most affordable type of tablet is the immediately compressible tablet, which uses microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), a popular pharmaceutical excipient, as a filler or binder. To make it compatible with different active drugs and excipients, we tried to change some physical properties of the MCC. In the current study, we used a chelating agent to pretreat the waste cotton before pulping, bleaching, and finally, hydrochloric acid degradation with a concentration of 2N at 100 °C temperature for 20 min to prepare MCC. The prepared MCC was treated with different concentrations of sodium hydroxide at room temperature or at -20 °C followed by precipitation with hydrochloric acid or ethanol with complete washing with distilled water till neutralization. Evaluation of the degree of polymerization (DP) and FT-IR spectrum confirm the identity of the microcrystalline cellulose. The DP was found to be 216. The bulk density of the unmodified MCC was 0.21 while that of modified MCC varied from 0.253 to 0.594. The modified MCC powder showed good flow properties compared to the unmodified MCC as evaluated by the Hausner index, Carr's index and the angle of repose. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of the MCC revealed that the rod shape has been changed to an oval shape due to treatment with sodium hydroxide at -20 °C. The X-ray crystallographic (XRD) analysis indicated that the unmodified MCC and standard MCC showed the crystallinity index (CrI) value of 86.82% and 87.63%, respectively, while the value ranges from 80.18% to 60.7% among the modified MCC powder. The differences in properties of the MCC might be due to the variation of rearrangement of the cellulose chain among the MCC particles due to treatment with different concentrations of a base at different temperatures and precipitation environments. This has enabled us to prepare MCC with different properties which might be compatible with different drugs.

Abstract
The knowledge of powder properties has been highlighted since the 19th century since most formulations focus on solid dosage forms, and powder flow is essential for various manufacturing operations. A poor powder flow may generate problems in the manufacturing processes and cause the plant's malfunction. Hence these problems should be studied and rectified beforehand by various powder flow techniques to improve and enhance powder flowability. The powder's physical properties can be determined using compendial and non-compendial methods. The non-compendial practices generally describe the powder response under the stress and shear experienced during their processing. The primary interest of the current report is to summarize the flow problems and enlist the techniques to eliminate the issues associated with the powder's flow properties, thereby increasing plant output and minimizing the production process inconvenience with excellent efficiency. In this review, we discuss powder flow and its measurement techniques and mainly focus on various approaches to improve the cohesive powder flow property.

Updates on applications of low-viscosity grade Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose in coprocessing for improvement of physical properties of pharmaceutical powders. Carbohydr Polym 2023; 311:120731.

Abstract
Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) is an important polymeric excipient. Its versatility in terms of molecular weights and viscosity grades is the basis for its wide and successful application in the pharmaceutical industry. Low viscosity grades of HPMC (like E3 and E5) have been used as physical modifiers for pharmaceutical powders in recent years due to their unique physicochemical and biological properties (e.g., low surface tension, high Tg, strong hydrogen bonding ability, etc.). Such modification is the co-processing of HPMC with a drug/excipient to create composite particles (CPs) for the purpose of providing synergistic effects of functional improvement as well as of masking undesirable properties of the powder (e.g., flowability, compressibility, compactibility, solubility, stability, etc.). Therefore, given its irreplaceability and tremendous opportunities for future developments, this review summarized and updated studies on improving the functional properties of drugs and/or excipients by forming CPs with low-viscosity HPMC, analyzed and exploited the improvement mechanisms (e.g., improved surface properties, increased polarity, hydrogen bonding, etc.) for the further development of novel co-processed pharmaceutical powders containing HPMC. It also provides an outlook on the future applications of HPMC, aiming to provide a reference on the crucial role of HPMC in various areas for interested readers.

Design Space Approach for the Optimization of Green Fluidized Bed Granulation Process in the Granulation of a Poorly Water-Soluble Fenofibrate Using Design of Experiment. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14071471.

Abstract
In the pharmaceutical industry, the systematic optimization of process variables using a quality-by-design (QbD) approach is highly precise, economic and ensures product quality. The current research presents the implementation of a design-of-experiment (DoE) driven QbD approach for the optimization of key process variables of the green fluidized bed granulation (GFBG) process. A 32 full-factorial design was performed to explore the effect of water amount (X1; 1–6% w/w) and spray rate (X2; 2–8 g/min) as key process variables on critical quality attributes (CQAs) of granules and tablets. Regression analysis have demonstrated that changing the levels of X1 and X2 significantly affect (p ≤ 0.05) the CQAs of granules and tablets. Particularly, X1 was found to have the pronounced effect on the CQAs. The GFBG process was optimized, and a design space (DS) was built using numerical optimization. It was found that X1 and X2 at high (5.69% w/w) and low (2 g/min) levels, respectively, demonstrated the optimum operating conditions. By optimizing X1 and X2, GFBG could enhance the disintegration and dissolution of tablets containing a poorly water-soluble drug. The prediction error values of dependent responses were less than 5% that confirm validity, robustness and accuracy of the generated DS in optimization of GFBG.
