Effect of magnesium stearate solid lipid nanoparticles as a lubricant on the properties of tablets by direct compression. Eur J Pharm Biopharm 2023; 193:262-273. [PMID: 37944711 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejpb.2023.11.004] [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: 07/15/2023] [Revised: 10/15/2023] [Accepted: 11/05/2023] [Indexed: 11/12/2023]
Abstract
This study discusses the lubricant properties of magnesium stearate solid lipid nanoparticles (MgSt-SLN) and their effect on the tabletability, mechanical properties, disintegration, and acetaminophen-model dissolution time of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) tablets prepared by direct compression. The behavior of MgSt-SLN was compared to reference material (RM) to identify advantages and drawbacks. The nanoprecipitation/ion exchange method was employed to prepare the MgSt-SLN. Particle size, zeta potential, specific surface area, morphology, and true density were measured to characterize the nanosystem. The MgSt-SLN particle sizes obtained were 240 ± 5 nm with a specific surface area of 12.2 m2/g. The MCC tablets with MgSt-SLN presented a reduction greater than 20 % in their ejection force, good tabletability, higher tensile strength, lower disintegration delay, and marked differences in acetaminophen dissolution when compared to the RM. The reduced particle size of the magnesium stearate seems to offer a promising technological advantage as an efficient lubricant process that does not affect the properties of tablets.

Abstract
The use of magnesium stearate along with lactose in Dry Powder Inhaler (DPI) formulations is increasing. The impact of different conditions of high shear blending on the distribution of magnesium stearate on lactose particles was investigated in this study. The formulated blends were manufactured using high shear blending of pre-blended coarse and fine lactose particles with 1.0% (w/w) magnesium stearate under different blending conditions, specifically blending speed and time. The effects of blending conditions on the distribution of magnesium stearate on lactose particles were clearly identifiable by characterizing the formulated blends by means of rheological evaluations, scanning electron microscopy, and chemical surface analysis using time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS). Rheological properties were significantly affected in blends with magnesium stearate compared to blends without magnesium stearate. Blending speed exhibited a strong influence on the distribution of magnesium stearate on lactose surface, while blending time had relatively minor effect.

Abstract
Direct compaction (DC) is considered to be the most effective method of tablet production. However, only a small number of the active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) can be successfully manufactured into tablets using DC since most APIs lack adequate functional properties to meet DC requirements. The use of suitable modifiers and appropriate co-processing technologies can provide a promising approach for the preparation of composite particles with high functional properties. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview and classification of different modifiers and their multiple combinations that may improve API tableting properties or prepare composite excipients with appropriate co-processed technology, as well as discuss the corresponding modification mechanism. Moreover, it provides solutions for selecting appropriate modifiers and co-processing technologies to prepare composite particles with improved properties.

Effect of magnesium stearate surface coating method on the aerosol performance and permeability of micronized fluticasone propionate. Int J Pharm 2022; 615:121470. [PMID: 35041913 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2022.121470] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2021] [Revised: 01/08/2022] [Accepted: 01/10/2022] [Indexed: 01/19/2023]
Abstract
In this study, we evaluated the aerodynamic performance, dissolution, and permeation behavior of micronized fluticasone propionate (FP) and magnesium stearate (MgSt) binary mixtures. Micronized FP was dry mixed with 2% w/w MgSt using a tumble mixer and a resonant acoustic mixer (RAM) with and without heating. The mixing efficacy was determined by X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis. Additional techniques were used to determine powder properties such as the dynamic vapor sorption (DVS), particle size distribution (PSD) by laser diffraction light scattering, and particle surface properties by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The aerodynamic performance was studied by the next-generation impactor (NGI) using drug-loaded capsules in a PlastiApi® device. Physiochemical properties such as porosity, particle size distribution, and surface area of the formulations were studied with adsorption and desorption curves fitted to several well-known models including Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), Barret Joyner Halenda (BJH), and the density functional theory (DFT). The dissolution behavior of the formulations collected on the transwell inserts incorporated into stages 3, 5, and 7 of the NGI with a membrane providing an air interface was evaluated. Drug permeability of formulations was assessed by directly depositing particles on Calu-3 cells at the air-liquid interface (ALI). Drug concentration was determined by LC-MS/MS. A better MgSt mixing on micronized FP particles was achieved by mixing with a RAM with and without heating than with a tumble mixer. A significant concomitant increase in the % of emitted dose and powder aerosol performance was observed after MgSt mixing. Formulation 4 (RAM mixing at room temperature) showed the highest rate of permeability and correlation with dissolution profile. The results show that the surface enrichment of hydrophobic MgSt improved aerosolization properties and the dissolution and permeability rate of micronized FP by reducing powder agglomerations. A simple low-shear acoustic dry powder mixing method was found to be efficient and substantially improved the powder aerosolization properties and enhanced dissolution and permeability rate.

Abstract
The molecular basis of adhesion leading to sticking was investigated by exploring the correlation between thermal analysis and molecular simulations. It is hypothesized that intermolecular interactions between a drug molecule and a punch face are the first step in the adhesion process and the rank order of adhesion during tablet compression should correspond to the rank order of the energies of these interactions. In the present study, the sticking propensity was investigated using ibuprofen, flurbiprofen, and ketoprofen as model substances. At the intermolecular level, a thermal analysis model was proposed as an experimental technique to estimate the work of adhesion between ibuprofen, flurbiprofen, and ketoprofen in a DSC aluminum pan. The linear relationship was established between the enthalpy of vaporization and sample mass to demonstrate the accuracy of the instruments used. The threshold mass for ibuprofen, flurbiprofen, and ketoprofen was determined to be 107, 112, and 222 μg, respectively, after three replicate measurements consistent with the experimental results. Ketoprofen showed a 2-fold higher threshold mass compared to ibuprofen and flurbiprofen, which predicts that ketoprofen should have the highest sticking propensity. Computationally, the rank order of the work of adhesion between ibuprofen, flurbiprofen, and ketoprofen with the metal surface was simulated to be -75.91, 44.75, and -96.91 kcal/mol, respectively, using Materials Studio. The rank order of the interaction between the drug molecule and the iron superlattice decreases in the order ketoprofen > ibuprofen > flurbiprofen. The results indicate that the thermal model can be successfully implemented to assess the sticking propensity of a drug at the molecular level. Also, a new molecular simulation script was successfully applied to determine the interaction energy of the drug molecule upon contact with iron.

Abstract
Applying additives and excipients during the dry processing of fine particles is a common measure to control the particle–particle interactions, to specifically influence the powder properties and to enhance the process efficiency or product quality. In this study, the impacts of a particulate lubricant, a nano-disperse flow additive and liquid grinding aids on the dry fine milling and subsequent tableting of the ground material were investigated for three different organic model compounds. It is presented that the three additive classes cause varying and partly opposing effects during these process steps. Especially the lubricant and the grinding aids were shown to increase the efficiency of the milling process as well as the product fineness of the ground material, and to avoid critical product adhesions on the machine surfaces. Thereby, stable and efficient grinding conditions were partially not possible without the addition of such additives. However, as these positive effects are attributed to a reduction of the adhesive forces between the particles, much lower tablet strengths were achieved for these additives. This propagation of powder, and in turn, final product properties over whole process chains, has not been studied in detail so far. It was further revealed that the material behavior and the microstructure of the product particles is decisive for the processing as well, which is why additive effects may be product-specific and can even be suppressed under certain processing conditions. In comparison to the process performances, the powder properties and surface energies of the product particles were less influenced by the additives. On the contrary, particle-based morphologies or deformation behavior seem to play a major role in comparison to inorganic materials. Thus, it can be stated that global bulk properties and surface energies provide first indications of powder behavior and susceptibility. However, additional specific properties need to be evaluated to more clearly understand the influences of additives.

Texture and surface feature-mediated striking improvements on multiple direct compaction properties of Zingiberis Rhizoma extracted powder by coprocessing with nano-silica. Int J Pharm 2021; 603:120703.

Abstract
The study aims to markedly improve direct compaction (DC) properties of Zingiberis Rhizoma extracted powder (ZR) by modifying its texture and surface properties with nano-silica (NS). A wet coprocessing method was applied to evenly distribute up to 33.3% NS to ZR. To clarify uniqueness of NS, microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), a superior filler-binder in DC, was used as control. Coprocessed particles and physical mixtures (PMs) were comprehensively evaluated for surface features, micromeritic properties, and texture and compacting parameters. Compared to MCC, NS could more significantly modify the texture and surface features of ZR (e.g., hardness, cohesiveness, yield pressure, and nanoscaled surface roughness) via coprocessing, resulting in more striking improvements on multiple DC properties of ZR, including tabletability, flowability, lubricant sensitivity, hygroscopicity, etc. Especially, tensile strength (σt) of coprocessed ZR-NS (1:0.5) tablets was 4.62 and 3.22 times that of ZR and ZR-MCC counterparts pressed at 210 MPa, respectively. Moreover, percolation thresholds of σt enhancement were observed for ZR-NSs, but not for ZR-MCCs. Evaluation by the SeDeM expert system indicated that some ZR-NSs (but no ZR-MCCs) were qualified for DC. Collectively, coprocessing with NS by liquid dispersion appears to be a novel, effective, and pragmatic option for DC of drugs like ZR.

Abstract
Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), a non-ionic polymer, has been employed in multifarious fields such as paper, fibers and textiles, ceramics, and pharmaceutics due to its superior properties. Especially in pharmacy, the properties of inertness, non-toxicity, and biocompatibility make it a versatile excipient for both conventional formulations and novel controlled or targeted delivery systems, serving as a binder, coating agent, suspending agent, pore-former, solubilizer, stabilizer, etc. PVP with different molecular weights (MWs) and concentrations is used in a variety of formulations for different purposes. In this review, PVP-related researches mainly in recent 10 years were collected, and its main pharmaceutical applications were summarized as follows: (i) improving the bioavailability and stability of drugs, (ii) improving the physicomechanical properties of preparations, (iii) adjusting the release rate of drugs, and (iv) prolonging the in vivo circulation time of liposomes. Most of these applications could be explained by the viscosity, solubility, hydrophilicity, and hydrogen bond-forming ability of PVP, and the specific action mechanisms for each application were also tried to figure out. The effect of PVP on bioavailability improvement establishes it as a promising polymer in the emerging controlled or targeted formulations, attracting growing interest on it. Therefore, given its irreplaceability and tremendous opportunities for future developments, this review aims to provide an informative reference about current roles of PVP in pharmacy for interested readers.

Abstract
Co-jet-milling drugs and lubricants may enable simultaneous particle size reduction and surface coating to achieve satisfactory aerosolization performance. This study aims to establish the relationship between surface lubricant coverage and aerosolization behavior of a model drug (ciprofloxacin HCl) co-jet-milled with lubricants [magnesium stearate (MgSt) or l-leucine]. The co-jet-milled formulations were characterized for particle size, morphology, cohesion, Carr's index, and aerosolization performance. The surface lubricant coating was assessed by probing surface chemical composition using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and time-of-flight secondary-ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS). The effects of co-jet-milling on the surface energy and in vitro dissolution of ciprofloxacin were also evaluated. Our results indicated that, in general, the ciprofloxacin co-jet-milled with l-leucine at >0.5% w/w showed a significant higher fine particle fraction (FPF) compared with the ciprofloxacin jet-milled alone. The FPF values plateau at or above 5% w/w for both MgSt and l-leucine. We have established the quantitative correlations between surface lubricant coverage and aerosolization in the tested range for each of the lubricants. More importantly, our results suggest different mechanisms to improve aerosolization for MgSt-coating and l-leucine-coating, respectively: MgSt-coating reduces inter-particulate interactions through the formation of low surface energy coating films, while l-leucine-coating not only reduces the surface energy but also creates rough particle surfaces that reduce inter-particulate contact area. Furthermore, surface coatings with 5% w/w MgSt (which is hydrophobic) did not lead to substantial changes in in vitro dissolution. Our findings have shown that the coating structure/quality and their effects could be highly dependent on the process and the coating material. The findings from this mechanistic study provide fundamental understanding of the critical effects of MgSt and l-leucine surface coverages on aerosolization and powder flow properties of inhalation particles.

Abstract
Pharmaceutical cocrystals have gained increasing interest due to their potential to modify the physicochemical properties of drugs. Herein, a 1:1 cocrystal of ibuprofen (IBU) as a BCS class II active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and nicotinamide as coformer was produced using a hot-melt extrusion (HME) process. The effect of process parameters such as barrel temperature and screw speed were studied. It was shown that the addition of polymeric excipient such as soluplus (Sol) decreases the cocrystallization temperature by enhancing the interaction between API and coformer. In order to study the effect of cocrystallization on the tableting properties of IBU-NIC cocrystal, 5 different formulations of pure IBU, IBU-NIC cocrystal, IBU-NIC physical mixture, IBU-NIC-Sol physical mixture and IBU-NIC-Sol cocrystal were tableted by a compaction simulator. Tabletability, compactibility and compressibility were investigated. The sample with IBU-NIC-Sol cocrystal formulation outperformed all the other formulations in terms of tabletability, compactibility and compressibility. Interestingly, this sample was even superior to the IBU-NIC cocrystal sample which verified the advantageous effect of the presence of an excipient. Moreover, dissolution test confirmed a noticeable increase in the dissolution of not only the cocrystal samples but even the physical mixtures of IBU and NIC compared with pure IBU.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to devise robust and stable continuous manufacturing process settings, by exploring the design space after an investigation of the lubrication-based parameters influencing the continuous direct compression tableting of high dose paracetamol tablets. Experimental design was used to generate a structured study plan which involved 19 runs. The formulation variables studied were the type of lubricant (magnesium stearate or stearic acid) and its concentration (0.5, 1.0 and 1.5%). Process variables were total production feed rate (5, 10.5 and 16kg/h), mixer speed rpm (500, 850 and 1200rpm), and mixer inlet port for lubricant (A or B). The continuous direct compression tableting line consisted of loss-in-weight feeders, a continuous mixer and a tablet press. The Quality Target Product Profile (QTPP) was defined for the final product, as the flowability of powder blends (2.5s), tablet strength (147N), dissolution in 2.5min (90%) and ejection force (425N). A design space was identified which fulfilled all the requirements of QTPP. The type and concentration of lubricant exerted the greatest influence on the design space. For example, stearic acid increased the tablet strength. Interestingly, the studied process parameters had only a very minor effect on the quality of the final product and the design space. It is concluded that the continuous direct compression tableting process itself is insensitive and can cope with changes in lubrication, whereas formulation parameters exert a major influence on the end product quality.

Abstract
Continuous manufacturing of tablets has many advantages, including batch size flexibility, demand-adaptive scale up or scale down, consistent product quality, small operational foot print, and increased manufacturing efficiency. Simplicity makes direct compression the most suitable process for continuous tablet manufacturing. However, deficiencies in powder flow and compression of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) limit the range of drug loading that can routinely be considered for direct compression. For the widespread adoption of continuous direct compression, effective API engineering strategies to address power flow and compression problems are needed. Appropriate implementation of these strategies would facilitate the design of high-quality robust drug products, as stipulated by the Quality-by-Design framework. Here, several crystal and particle engineering strategies for improving powder flow and compression properties are summarized. The focus is on the underlying materials science, which is the foundation for effective API engineering to enable successful continuous manufacturing by the direct compression process.

The effect of mechanical dry coating with magnesium stearate on flowability and compactibility of plastically deforming microcrystalline cellulose powders. Int J Pharm 2017; 537:64-72.

Abstract
Mechanofusion is a dry coating method that can be used to improve the flowability of cohesive powder by coating host particles with a lubricant, for example magnesium stearate (MgSt). It has been shown previously that fragmenting material can under some circumstances be mechanofused with MgSt without impairing compactibility of the powder and without reducing the dissolution rate of the resulting tablets. However, the effects on material with viscoelastic behaviour, known to be sensitive for the negative effects of MgSt, is not known. Therefore, mechanofusion of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) with MgSt was investigated in this study. Four MCC grades were mechanofused with different MgSt concentrations and process parameters, and the resulting flowability and compactibility were studied. Starting materials and low-shear blended binary mixtures were studied as a reference. Mechanofusion improved the flow properties of small particle size MCC powders (d50 < 78 μm) substantially, but increasing the MgSt content consequently resulted in weaker tablets. Larger particle size MCC grades, however, fractured under the shear forces during the mechanofusion process and hence their flow properties were decreased. Improvement of the flow properties but also the negative effects on compactibility of small particle size grades were observed even at relatively mild mechanofusion parameters and low lubricant concentrations.

Abstract
Over the last decade mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) has been integrated in to many areas of drug discovery and development. It can have significant impact in oncology drug discovery as it allows efficacy and safety of compounds to be assessed against the backdrop of the complex tumour microenvironment. We will discuss the roles of MSI in investigating compound and metabolite biodistribution and defining pharmacokinetic -pharmacodynamic relationships, analysis that is applicable to all drug discovery projects. We will then look more specifically at how MSI can be used to understand tumour metabolism and other applications specific to oncology research. This will all be described alongside the challenges of applying MSI to industry research with increased use of metrology for MSI.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Production of functionalised particles using dry powder coating is a one-step, environmentally friendly process that paves the way for the development of particles with targeted properties and diverse functionalities. AREAS COVERED Applying the first principles in physical science for powders, fine guest particles can be homogeneously dispersed over the surface of larger host particles to develop functionalised particles. Multiple functionalities can be modified including: flowability, dispersibility, fluidisation, homogeneity, content uniformity and dissolution profile. The current publication seeks to understand the fundamental underpinning principles and science governing dry coating process, evaluate key technologies developed to produce functionalised particles along with outlining their advantages, limitations and applications and discusses in detail the resultant functionalities and their applications. EXPERT OPINION Dry particle coating is a promising solvent-free manufacturing technology to produce particles with targeted functionalities. Progress within this area requires the development of continuous processing devices that can overcome challenges encountered with current technologies such as heat generation and particle attrition. Growth within this field requires extensive research to further understand the impact of process design and material properties on resultant functionalities.
