Diluent performance of a three component co-processed excipient for formulating ibuprofen tablets by wet granulation

Co-Processed Chitin-Mannitol as a New Excipient for Oro-Dispersible Tablets

This study describes the preparation, characterization and performance of a novel excipient for use in oro-dispersible tablets (ODT). The excipient (Cop-CM) consists of chitin and mannitol. The excipient with optimal physicochemical properties was obtained at a chitin: mannitol ratio of 2:8 (w/w) and produced by roll compaction (RC). Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier transform-In...

Development of Directly Compressible Co-processed Excipient for Dispersible Tablets Using 3 Full Factorial Design

The purpose of the present research was to prepare and evaluate mannitol and cellulose based, directly compressible excipient using freeze-thawing technique. The mannitol to cellulose ratio (50:50, 60:40, and 70:30) and the rotation speed of propeller stirrer (200, 600, and 1000 rpm) were selected as independent variables in a 3 full factorial design. Water acted as a good medium for mannitol a...

Design and Characterization of Oral Dispersible Tablets of Enalapril Maleate Using a Co-Processed Excipient

Article history: Received on: 20/10/2012 Revised on: 06/11/2012 Accepted on: 15/11/2012 Available online: 28/11/2012 In the present work, oral dispersible tablets of Enalapril maleate were prepared using three different superdisintegrants and a co-processed superdisintegrant consisting of crospovidone and sodium starch glycolate in the ratio 1:1. Oral dispersible tablets of Enalapril maleate we...

Assessing the performance of a co-processed HPMC-lactose excipient using an instrumented tablet press

Exploration of Novel Co-processed Multifunctional Diluent for the Development of Tablet Dosage Form

The aim of this investigation was to develop a novel multifunctional co-processed diluent consisting of microcrystalline cellulose (Avicel PH 102), crospovidone (Polyplasdone XL) and polyethylene glycol 4000. Colloidal silicon dioxide and talc were also incorporated as minor components in the diluent to improve tableting properties. Melt granulation was adopted for preparation of co-processed d...
