Abstract
Tablet as a traditional dosage form in pharmacy has the advantages of accurate dosage, ideal dissolution and bioavailability, convenient to carry and transport. The most concerned tablet quality attributes include active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) contents and polymorphic forms, components distribution, hardness, density, coating state, dissolution behavior, etc., which greatly affect the bioavailability and consistency of tablet final products. In the pharmaceutical industry, there are usually industry standard methods to analyze the tablet quality attributes. However, these methods are generally time-consuming and laborious, and lack a comprehensive understanding of the properties of tablets, such as spatial information. In recent years, spectral imaging technology makes up for the shortcomings of traditional tablet analysis methods because it provides non-contact and rich information in time and space. As a promising technology to replace the traditional tablet analysis methods, it has attracted more and more attention. The present paper briefly describes a series of spectral imaging techniques and their applications in tablet analysis. Finally, the possible application prospect of this technology and the deficiencies that need to be improved were also prospected.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS The rheological behavior and frictional properties (macroscopic level) of systems containing a hydrophobically modified polymer and phospholipids depend on the hydrophobic association that occur between the hydrophobic moiety of the polymer and the phospholipid tails (molecular level). The hydrophobicity of the polymer can thus be used to control its interactions with phospholipids, and manipulate complex gel macroscopic behavior. EXPERIMENTS By using systems composed of a crosslinked hydrophobically modified polyacrylic acid (HMPAA) or a crosslinked polyacrylic acid polymer (PAA) and phospholipids, we examine the underlying mechanisms through which the components interact using isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) and their effect on rheological and tribological characteristics of complex gels. FINDINGS We find the systems containing HMPAA and phospholipid exhibit gel-like behavior with the elastic modulus increasing substantially upon phospholipid addition due to hydrophobic interactions that result in a more interconnected network formation, as evidenced by ITC measurements. Similar experiments with a crosslinked polyacrylic acid polymer (PAA) show no interactions, lending credence to our hypothesis. In addition, soft tribological behavior shows lower friction coefficients at low entrainment speeds with HMPAA concentration and the addition of phospholipid, while no change in friction coefficient was observed in the case of increasing PAA concentration, indicating HMPAA and phospholipids to be interacting with the soft PDMS contacts.

Abstract
Hydrophilic matrix tablets with controlled drug release have been used extensively as one of the most successful oral drug delivery systems for optimizing therapeutic efficacy. In this work, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used to study the influence of various pHs and mechanical stresses caused by medium flow (at rest, 80, or 150 mL/min) on swelling and on pentoxifylline release from xanthan (Xan) tablets. Moreover, a bimodal MRI system with simultaneous release testing enables measurements of hydrogel thickness and drug release, both under the same experimental conditions and at the same time. The results show that in water, the hydrogel structure is weaker and less resistant to erosion than the Xan structure in the acid medium. Different hydrogel structures affect drug release with erosion controlled release in water and diffusion controlled release in the acid medium. Mechanical stress simulating gastrointestinal contraction has no effect on the hard hydrogel in the acid medium where the release is independent of the tested stress, while it affects the release from the weak hydrogel in water with faster release under high stress. Our findings suggest that simultaneous MR imaging and drug release from matrix tablets together provide a valuable prognostic tool for prolonged drug delivery design.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Incorporation of the drug-loaded surfactant micelles into polymer hydrogels is a common method used to achieve controlled drug delivery. The characterization of the diffusion processes in drug delivery systems is critical in order to tune the drug loading and release. EXPERIMENTS We present a simple and efficient NMR protocol to investigate the transport of the surfactant molecules in hydrogels on micro- and macroscale under non-equilibrium conditions. Our experimental protocol is based on a combination of 1H 1D NMR chemical shift imaging and slice-selective diffusion experiments, which enables determination of the mutual and self-diffusion coefficients of the surfactant in the non-equilibrium hydrogel-based system within the same short time frame. FINDINGS Our results show that the self-diffusion coefficient of the positively charged surfactant in the hydrogel (Dsgel) decreases with the increasing surfactant concentration until it reaches a plateau value of 6.6±0.5×10-11m2s-1. The surfactant self-diffusion in the solution (Dssln) remains constant over the experiment with an average value of 6.7±0.3×10-11m2s-1. The surfactant mutual diffusion coefficient obtained from 1D chemical shift imaging in this hydrogel system (Dm) is 7.7±0.5×10-11m2s-1. Correlation of the localized Ds to the 1D chemical shift images gives insight into the structure-dependent diffusional behavior of surfactant molecules in the hydrogel. This NMR protocol will be of great value in studies of concentration dependent structures on the interfaces between two immiscible liquids.

Abstract
A large part of new pharmaceutical substances are characterized by a poor solubility and high hydrophobicity, which might lead to a difference in drug adsorption between fasted and fed patients. We have previously evaluated the release of hydrophobic drugs from tablets based on Pemulen TR2 and showed that the release can be manipulated by adding surfactants. Here we further evaluate the possibility to use Pemulen TR2 in controlled release tablet formulations containing a poorly soluble substance, griseofulvin. The release is evaluated in simulated intestinal media that model the fasted state (FaSSIF medium) or fed state (FeSSIF). The rheology of polymer gels is studied in separate experiments, in order to gain more information on possible interactions. The release of griseofulvin in tablets without surfactant varied greatly and the slowest release were observed in FeSSIF. Addition of SDS to the tablets eliminated the differences and all tablets showed a slow linear release, which is of obvious relevance for robust drug delivery. Comparing the data from the release studies and the rheology experiment showed that the effects on the release from the different media could to a large extent be rationalised as a consequence of the interactions between the polymer and the surfactants in the media. The study shows that Pemulen TR2 is a candidate for controlled release formulations in which addition of surfactant provides a way to eliminate food effects on the release profile. However, the formulation used needs to be designed to give a faster release rate than the tablets currently investigated.

Abstract
The release of lactose (hydrophilic) from polymer tablets made with hydrophobically modified poly(acrylic acid) (HMPAA) have been studied and compared to the release of ibuprofen, a hydrophobic active substance. Lactose is one of the most used excipients for tablets, but lactose release has not been widely studied. One reason could be a lack of good analytical tools. A novel biosensor with cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) was used to detect the lactose release, which has a polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride (PDADMAC) layer that increases the response. A sample treatment using polyethylenimine (PEI) was developed to eliminate possible denaturants. The developed methodology provided a good approach to detect and quantify the released lactose. The release was studied with or without the presence of a model amphiphilic substance, sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), in the release medium. Ibuprofen showed very different release rates in the different media, which was attributed to hydrophobic interactions between the drug, the HMPAA and the SDS in the release medium. The release of hydrophilic lactose, which did not associate to any of the other components, was rapid and showed only minor differences. The new methodology provides a useful tool to further evaluate tablet formulations by a relatively simple set of experiments.
