Abstract
Oromucosal delivery of active ingredients of drugs provides a superior administration route for the treatment of oral diseases, due to avoidance of the first pass effect. In the present work, in view of the characteristics of large differences between oral ulcer symptoms and different lesion sizes, dexamethasone acetate unidirectional drug release buccal patches has been prepared based on Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM). Unidirectional drug release was achieved by covering the top and side with ethyl cellulose. Polyvinyl alcohol as a drug carrier, xylitol as a plasticizer. First, the protection effect of different thicknesses of the protective layer is investigated to determine the thickness of the protective layer. Co-extrusion printing method was adapted, utilizing blank filament to regulate preparations with different areas' drug loading. The results show that co-extrusion had no significant impact on the overall patches' drug release and adhesion properties. The physicochemical properties of the patches were also characterized. Evaluation of irritation is showed that these patches do not cause irritation to the oral mucosa of rats. Pharmacodynamic evaluation results showed that the preparation could promote the reduction of ulcer area. The results showed that FDM printing is a convenient and practical approach in manufacturing buccal patches.

Abstract
For more than five decades, pharmaceutical manufacturers have been relying heavily on batch manufacturing that is a sequential, multistep, laborious, and time-consuming process. However, late advances in manufacturing technologies have prompted manufacturers to consider continuous manufacturing (CM) is a feasible manufacturing process that encompasses fewer steps and is less tedious and quick. Global regulatory agencies are taking a proactive role to facilitate pharmaceutical industries to adopt CM that assures product quality by employing robust manufacturing technologies encountering fewer interruptions, thereby substantially reducing product failures and recalls. However, adopting innovative CM is known to pose technical and regulatory challenges. Hot melt extrusion (HME) is one such state-of-the-art enabling technology that facilitates CM of diverse pharmaceutical dosage forms, including topical semisolids. Efforts have been made to continuously manufacture semisolids by HME integrating the principles of Quality by Design (QbD) and Quality Risk Management (QRM) and deploying Process Analytical Technologies (PAT) tools. Attempts have been made to systematically elucidate the effect of critical material attributes (CMA) and critical process parameters (CPP) on product critical quality attributes (CQA) and Quality Target Product Profiles (QTPP) deploying PAT tools. The article critically reviews the feasibility of one of the enabling technologies such as HME in CM of topical semisolids. The review highlights the benefits of the CM process and challenges ahead to implement the technology to topical semisolids. Once the CM of semisolids adopting melt extrusion integrated with PAT tools becomes a reality, the process can be extended to manufacture sterile semisolids that usually involve more critical processing steps.

Abstract
Interest in 3D printing for pharmaceutical applications has increased in recent years. Compared to other 3D printing techniques, hot melt extrusion (HME)-based fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing has been the most extensively investigated for patient-focused dosage. HME technology can be coupled with FDM 3D printing as a continuous manufacturing process. However, the crucial pharmaceutical polymers, formulation and process parameters must be investigated to establish HME-coupled FDM 3D printing. These advancements will lead the way towards developing continuous drug delivery systems for personalized therapy. This brief overview classifies pharmaceutical additive manufacturing, Hot Melt Extrusion, and Fused Deposition Modeling 3D printing techniques with a focus on coupling HME and FDM 3D printing processes. It also provides insights on the critical material properties, process and equipment parameters and limitations of successful HME-coupled FDM systems.

Abstract
Thermal processing has gained much interest in the pharmaceutical industry, particularly for the enhancement of solubility, bioavailability, and dissolution of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with poor aqueous solubility. Formulation scientists have developed various techniques which may include physical and chemical modifications to achieve solubility enhancement. One of the most commonly used methods for solubility enhancement is through the use of amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs). Examples of commercialized ASDs include Kaletra®, Kalydeco®, and Onmel®. Various technologies produce ASDs; some of the approaches, such as spray-drying, solvent evaporation, and lyophilization, involve the use of solvents, whereas thermal approaches often do not require solvents. Processes that do not require solvents are usually preferred, as some solvents may induce toxicity due to residual solvents and are often considered to be damaging to the environment. The purpose of this review is to provide an update on recent innovations reported for using hot-melt extrusion and KinetiSol® Dispersing technologies to formulate poorly water-soluble APIs in amorphous solid dispersions. We will address development challenges for poorly water-soluble APIs and how these two processes meet these challenges.

Abstract
Since the past several decades, poor water solubility of existing and new drugs in the pipeline have remained a challenging issue for the pharmaceutical industry. Literature describes several approaches to improve the overall solubility, dissolution rate, and bioavailability of drugs with poor water solubility. Moreover, the development of amorphous solid dispersion (SD) using suitable polymers and methods have gained considerable importance in the recent past. In the present review, we attempt to discuss the important and industrially scalable thermal strategies for the development of amorphous SD. These include both solvent (spray drying and fluid bed processing) and fusion (hot melt extrusion and KinetiSol®) based techniques. The current review also provides insights into the thermodynamic properties of drugs, their polymer miscibility and solubility, and their molecular dynamics to develop stable and more efficient amorphous SD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Interest in hot-melt extrusion (HME) technology for novel applications is growing day by day, which is evident from several hundred publications within the last 5 years. HME is a cost-effective, solvent free, 'green' technology utilized for various formulations with low investment costs compared to conventional technologies. HME has also earned the attention of the pharmaceutical industry by the transformation of this technology for application in continuous manufacturing. AREAS COVERED Part II of the review focuses on various novel opportunities or innovations of HME such as multiple component systems (co-crystals, co-amorphous systems and salts), twin-screw granulation, semi-solids, co-extrusion, abuse deterrent formulations, solid self-emulsifying drug delivery systems, chronotherapeutic drug delivery systems, and miscellaneous applications. EXPERT OPINION HME is being investigated as an alternative technology for preparation of multicomponent systems such as co-crystals and co-amorphous techniques. Twin-screw granulation has gained increased interest in preparation of granules via twin-screw melt granulation or twin-screw dry granulation. This novel application of the HME process provides a promising alternate approach in the formulation of granules and solid dosage forms. However, this technology may need to be further investigated for scalability aspects of these novel applications for industrial production.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Currently, hot melt extrusion (HME) is a promising technology in the pharmaceutical industry, as evidenced by its application to manufacture various FDA-approved commercial products in the market. HME is extensively researched for enhancing the solubility and bioavailability of poor water-soluble drugs, taste masking, and modifying release in drug delivery systems. Additionally, its other novel opportunities or pharmaceutical applications, and capability for continuous manufacturing are being investigated. This efficient, industrially scalable, solvent-free, continuous process can be easily automated and coupled with other novel platforms for continuous manufacturing of pharmaceutical products. AREAS COVERED This review focuses on updates on solubility enhancement of poorly water-soluble drugs and process analytical tools such as UV/visible spectrophotometry; near-infrared spectroscopy; Raman spectroscopy; and rheometry for continuous manufacturing, with a special emphasis on fused deposition modeling 3D printing. EXPERT OPINION The strengths, weakness, opportunities, threats (SWOT) and availability of commercial products confirmed wide HME applicability in pharmaceutical research. Increased interest in continuous manufacturing processes makes HME a promising strategy for this application. However, there is a need for extensive research using process analytical tools to establish HME as a dependable continuous manufacturing process.
