Sodium carboxymethyl starch (CMS) was prepared using an extruder as a continuous solvent-less chemical reactor. The effects of NaOH, H2O, temperature, ethanol, sodium mono chloro acetate (SMCA), sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP), citric acid, epichlorohydrin and screw configuration on the degree of substitution (DS) and swelling properties of CMS were studied. Using these factors, CMS with the DS ...

Lamotrigine is used in the treatment of CNS disorders, particularly epilepsy; pain; oedema; multiple sclerosis and psychiatric indications including bipolar disorder. Lamotrigine belongs to biopharmaceutical classification systems, BCS class II (Low solubility & High permeability). In addition, it requires immediate therapeutic action hence the main objective of this study is to improve the sol...

This study evaluates the disintegrant properties--tablet disintegration time (DT) and crushing strength--friability/disintegration time (CSFR/DT) ratio of a paracetamol tablet formulation prepared with sorghum and plantain starches in comparison with corn starch BP. The effects of disintegrant concentration, relative density of tablets and the mode of disintegrants addition were studied. The st...

The purpose of the present study was to formulate and evaluate Berberine HCl Film coated tablet. Preformulation studies API were done. film tablets have advantages over conventional oral dosage forms, tablet also influences release drug after compression. coating help in making with good taste masking properties excellent mechanical strength. It revealed that cellulosic materials unable resist ...

The use of medicinal plants as raw material in the production of drugs is again gaining popularity. Monechma ciliatum has many traditional uses and applications in African folk’s medicines, e.g. the seed's powder macerated in water and drunk or burnt as an inhalation for treatment cold and allergic conditions. The aim of this study is to formulate a suitable dosage form (tablets) from Monechma ...

The study evaluated two novel coprocessed excipients (with two methods) as disintegrants in an orally disintegrating paracetamol tablet formulation. The tablets produced were assessed for mechanical properties with the use of friability and tensile strength while the release properties were assessed with wetting time, water absorption ratio, disintegration time and dissolution profile. The resu...

background: orally disintegrating tablets (odts) are a modern form of tablets that when placed in the oral cavity, disperses rapidly. these tablets have advantages, particularly good applications for children and old patients who have a complication in chewing or swallowing solid dosage forms. the aim of this study was to design, formulate, and evaluate the physicochemical properties of 5 mg mo...
