The 3-D model: Comparison of parameters obtained from and by simulating different tableting machines
Picker KM 《AAPS PharmSciTech》2003,4(3):55-61
The aim of this study is to apply 3-D modeling to data obtained from different tableting machines and for different compression
wheels on a linear rotary tableting machine replicator. A new analysis technique to interpret these data by 3-D parameter
plots is presented. Tablets were produced on an instrumented eccentric tableting machine and on a linear rotary tableting
machine replicator. The materials used were dicalcium phosphate dihydrate (DCPD), spray-dried lactose, microcrystalline cellulose
(MCC), hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), and theophylline monohydrate. Tableting was performed to different maximum relative
densities (ρ rel, max). Force, time and displacement were recorded during compaction. The 3-D data plots were prepared using pressure, normalized
time, and porosity according to Heckel. A twisted plane was fitted to these data according to the 3-D modeling technique.
The resulting parameters were analyzed in a 3-D parameter plot. The results show that the 3-D modeling technique can be applied
to compaction cycles from different tableting machines as different as eccentric and rotary tableting machines (simulated).
The relation of the data to each other is the same even when the absolute values are different. This is also true for different
compression wheels used on the linear rotary tableting machine replicator. By using compression wheels of different sizes
on this simulator, mainly time plasticity changes. By using bigger compression wheels for simulation, the materials deform
slower at lower densification and they deform faster at higher densification. For brittle materials, the stages of higher
densification are influenced; for plastically deforming materials, the stages of lower and higher densification can be influenced. 相似文献

The effects of compression and pulverization on the dehydration kinetics and hardness of creatine monohydrate tablets were
studied using a variety of kinetic equations and physical models. The dehydration behavior of unpulverized and pulverized
tablets was investigated by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD). The hardness
of both unpulverized and pulverized monohydrate tablets was significantly decreased after dehydration. The relationship between
the degree of dehydration and the tablet hardness of both unpulverized and pulverized monohydrate tablets formed a straight
line. The results suggest that the reduction in tablet hardness is dependent on the dehydration of crystal water, and the
values of the slopes indicate that the bonding energy of the unpulverized sample was stronger than that of the pulverized
sample. The dehydration kinetics of the unpulverized and pulverized monohydrate tablets were evaluated by analyzing the fit
of the isothermal DSC data using a variety of solid-state kinetic models. The dehydration of the unpulverized tablets at various
levels of compression pressure followed the 3-dimensional growth of nuclei mechanism. In contrast, although the dehydration
kinetics of pulverized monohydrate tablets compressed at 500 and 750 kg/cm2 followed the 3-dimensional diffusion mechanism, those compressed at 1000 kg/cm2 followed the 3-dimensional growth of nuclei mechanism. The PXRD analysis indicated that the diffraction intensity of the
pulverized monohydrate powder was significantly lower than that of the unpulverized powder. The diffraction peaks of the (h00)
planes and the micropore structure of the unpulverized monohydrate tablets were affected by pulverization and compression
force, respectively.

The purpose of this research was to apply near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy with chemometrics to predict the change of pharmaceutical
properties of antipyrine granules during granulation by regulation of the amount of water added. The various kinds of granules
(mean particle size, 70–750 μm) were obtained from the powder mixture (1 g of antipyrine, 6 g of hydroxypropylcellulose, 140
g of lactose, and 60 g of potato starch) by regulation of the added water amount (11–19 wt/wt%) in a high-speed mixer. The
granules were characterized by mean particle size, angle of repose, compressibility, tablet porosity, and tablet hardness
as parameters of pharmaceutical properties. To predict the pharmaceutical properties, NIR spectra of the granules were measured
and analyzed by principal component regression, (PCR) analysis. The mean particle size of the granules increased from 81 μm
to 650 μm with an increase in the amount of water, and it was possible to make larger spherical granules with narrow particle
size distribution using a high-speed mixer. Angle of repose, compressibility, and porosity of the tablets decreased with an
increase of added water, but tablet hardness increased. The independent calibration models to evaluate particle size, angle
of repose, and tablet porosity and hardness were established by using PCR based on NIR spectra of granules, respectively.
The correlation coefficient constants of calibration curves for prediction of mean particle size, angle of repose, tablet
porosity, and tablet hardness were 0.9109, 0.8912, 0.7437, and 0.8064, respectively. It is possible that the pharmaceutical
properties of the granule, such as mean particle size, angle of repose, tablet porosity, and tablet hardness, could be predicted
by an NIR-chemometric method. 相似文献

The purpose of this research was to evaluate beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) as a vehicle, either singly or in blends with lactose (spray-dried or monohydrate), for preparing a meloxicam tablet. Aqueous solubility of meloxicam in presence of beta-CD was investigated. The tablets were prepared by direct compression and wet granulation techniques. The powder blends and the granules were evaluated for angle of repose, bulk density, compressibility index, total porosity, and drug content. The tablets were subjected to thickness, diameter, weight variation test, drug content, hardness, friability, disintegration time, and in vitro dissolution studies. The effect of beta-CD on the bioavailability of meloxicam was also investigated in human volunteers using a balanced 2-way crossover study. Phase-solubility studies indicated an A(L)-type diagram with inclusion complex of 1:1 molar ratio. The powder blends and granules of all formulations showed satisfactory flow properties, compressibility, and drug content. All tablet formulations prepared by direct compression or wet granulation showed acceptable mechanical properties. The dissolution rate of meloxicam was significantly enhanced by inclusion of beta-CD in the formulations up to 30%. The mean pharmacokinetic parameters (C(max), K(e), and area under the curve [AUC](0-infinity)) were significantly increased in presence of beta-CD. These results suggest that beta-CD would facilitate the preparation of meloxicam tablets with acceptable mechanical properties using the direct compression technique as there is no important difference between tablets prepared by direct compression and those prepared by wet granulation. Also, beta-CD is particularly useful for improving the oral bioavailablity of meloxicam. 相似文献

Free-flowing proniosomal powders of acemetacin (AC) were prepared using the slurry method and maltodextrin as carrier. Positively charged proniosomes composed of 70:20:10 of Span 60/cholesterol (Chol)/stearylamine (SA), respectively, were successively compressed into tablets using direct compression method. The tablets were characterized for weight variability, friability, hardness, drug content uniformity, and dissolution properties. The in vivo evaluation of the prepared proniosomes (powder or tablet forms) after oral administration was investigated by the determination of AC and its active metabolite indomethacin (IND) in the blood of albino rabbits. Results indicated that the increase of Chol from 10% to 20% markedly reduced the efflux of the drug. Further Chol addition from 30% to 50% led to increased AC release rates. The proniosome tablets of AC showed greater hardness and disintegration time and less friability than AC plain tablets. The dissolution of proniosomal tablets indicated a lower drug release percentage compared to powdered proniosomes and AC plain tablets. The mean pharmacokinetic parameters of AC and IND from different formulations indicated increased t1/2 and area under the curve (AUC) of both AC and IND for proniosomal tablets compared with both proniosomal powders and AC plain tablets. This study suggested the formulation of AC proniosomal powder into tablets to control and extend its pharmacologic effects.KEY WORDS: acemetacin, proniosomes, sustained-release tablet, pharmacokinetics 相似文献

The purpose of this research was to evaluate the influence of dry granulation parameters on granule and tablet properties
of spray-dried extract (SDE) fromMaytenus ilicifolia, which is widely used in Brazil in the treatment of gastric disorders. The compressional behavior of the SDE and granules
of the SDE was characterized by Heckel plots. The tablet properties of powders, granules, and formulations containing a high
extract dose were compared. The SDE was blended with 2% magnesium stearate and 1% colloidal silicon dioxide and compacted
to produce granules after slugging or roll compaction. The influences of the granulation process and the roll compaction force
on the technological properties of the granules were studied. The flowability and density of spray-dried particles were improved
after granulation. Tablets produced by direct compression of granules showed lower crushing strength than the ones obtained
from nongranulated material. The compressional analysis by Heckel plots revealed that the SDE undergoes plastic deformation
with a very low tendency to rearrangement at an early stage of compression. On the other hand, the granules showed an intensive
rearrangement as a consequence of fragmentation and rebounding. However, when the compaction pressure was increased, the granules
showed plastic deformation. The mean yield pressure values showed that both granulation techniques and the roll compaction
force were able to reduce the material's ability to undergo plastic deformation. Finally, the tablet containing a high dose
of granules showed a close dependence between crushing strength and the densification degree of the granules (ie, roll compaction
force).

The object of this investigation was to evaluate the influence of (1) processing-induced decrease in drug crystallinity and (2) phase transformations during dissolution, on the performance of theophylline tablet formulations. Anhydrous theophylline underwent multiple transformations (anhydrate --> hydrate --> anhydrate) during processing. Although the crystallinity of the anhydrate obtained finally was lower than that of the unprocessed drug, it dissolved at a slower rate. This decrease in dissolution rate was attributed to the accelerated anhydrate to hydrate transformation during the dissolution run. Water vapor sorption studies proved to be a good predictor of powder dissolution behavior. While a decrease in crystallinity was brought about either by milling or by granulation, the effect on tablet dissolution was pronounced only in the latter. Tablet formulations prepared from the granules exhibited higher hardness, longer disintegration time, and slower dissolution than those containing the milled drug. The granules underwent plastic deformation during compression resulting in harder tablets, with delayed disintegration. The high hardness coupled with rapid anhydrate --> hydrate transformation during dissolution resulted in the formation of a hydrate layer on the tablet surface, which further delayed tablet disintegration and, consequently, dissolution. Phase transformations during processing and, more importantly, during dissolution influenced the observed dissolution rates. Product performance was a complex function of the physical state of the active and the processing conditions. 相似文献

The objective of this work was to apply response surface approach to investigate main and interaction effects of formulation
parameters in optimizing novel fast disintegrating tablet formulation using β cyclodextrin as a diluent. The variables studied
were diluent (β cyclodextrin, X
1), superdisintegrant (Croscarmellose sodium, X
2), and direct compression aid (Spray dried lactose, X
3). Tablets were prepared by direct compression method on B2 rotary tablet press using flat plain-face punches and characterized
for weight variation, thickness, disintegration time (Y
1), and hardness (Y
2). Disintegration time was strongly affected by quadratic terms of β cyclodextrin, croscarmellose sodium, and spray-dried
lactose. The positive value of regression coefficient for β cyclodextrin suggested that hardness increased with increased
amount of β cyclodextrin. In general, disintegration of tablets has been reported to slow down with increase in hardness.
However in the present study, higher concentration of β cyclodextrin was found to improve tablet hardness without increasing
the disintegration time. Thus, β cyclodextrin is proposed as a suitable diluent to achieve fast disintegrating tablets with
sufficient hardness. Good correlation between the predicted values and experimental data of the optimized formulation validated
prognostic ability of response surface methodology in optimizing fast disintegrating tablets using β cyclodextrin as a diluent. 相似文献

The purpose of this paper was to develop a statistical methodology to optimize tablet manufacturing considering drug chemical
and physical properties applying a crossed experimental design. The assessed model drug was dried ferrous sulphate and the
variables were the hardness and the relative proportions of three excipients, binder, filler and disintegrant. Granule properties
were modeled as a function of excipient proportions and tablet parameters were defined by the excipient proportion and hardness.
The desirability function was applied to achieve optimal values for excipient proportions and hardness. In conclusion, crossed
experimental design using hardness as the only process variable is an efficient strategy to quickly determine the optimal
design process for tablet manufacturing. This method can be applied for any tablet manufacturing method. 相似文献

The work investigates the adhesive/cohesive molecular and physical interactions together with nanoscopic features of commonly used orally disintegrating tablet (ODT) excipients microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) and D-mannitol. This helps to elucidate the underlying physico-chemical and mechanical mechanisms responsible for powder densification and optimum product functionality. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) contact mode analysis was performed to measure nano-adhesion forces and surface energies between excipient-drug particles (6-10 different particles per each pair). Moreover, surface topography images (100 nm2–10 µm2) and roughness data were acquired from AFM tapping mode. AFM data were related to ODT macro/microscopic properties obtained from SEM, FTIR, XRD, thermal analysis using DSC and TGA, disintegration testing, Heckel and tabletability profiles. The study results showed a good association between the adhesive molecular and physical forces of paired particles and the resultant densification mechanisms responsible for mechanical strength of tablets. MCC micro roughness was 3 times that of D-mannitol which explains the high hardness of MCC ODTs due to mechanical interlocking. Hydrogen bonding between MCC particles could not be established from both AFM and FTIR solid state investigation. On the contrary, D-mannitol produced fragile ODTs due to fragmentation of surface crystallites during compression attained from its weak crystal structure. Furthermore, AFM analysis has shown the presence of extensive micro fibril structures inhabiting nano pores which further supports the use of MCC as a disintegrant. Overall, excipients (and model drugs) showed mechanistic behaviour on the nano/micro scale that could be related to the functionality of materials on the macro scale. 相似文献

The aim of this paper was to study the effect of the granulate properties and tablet compression force on disintegrating force
behavior in order to investigate the capability of the disintegrating force to characterize tablets that have the same composition
but were manufactured in different conditions. Several tablets containing spironolactone in the external or internal granulated
mixture of calcium carbonate and maize starch differing in particle size distribution, were prepared at 3 compression levels.
The force developed by tablets during water uptake and disintegration was measured and plotted versus time. The curves obtained
were analyzed by the Weibull equation in order to calculate the parameters characterizing the tablet disintegration kinetics.
The disintegrating force time parameter, the maximum force developed, and the area under the curve were determined. In general,
the reduction of time parameter value and/or the increase in maximum force developed corresponded to an acceleration in tablet
disintegration. In addition, the area under the force curve increased in stronger tablets, monitoring in a sensitive way the
tablet structural changes introduced by compression force. The results showed that the disintegrating force measurement can
detect small changes in the structure of the tablet that cannot be discriminated by pharmacopoeia tests. The effect of manufacturing,
in particular compression force, on tablet properties was quantified by the parameters of disintegrating force kinetics. 相似文献

This work aims at investigating different types and levels of hydrophilic matrixing agents, including methylcellulose (MC), sodium alginate (Alg), and sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), in an attempt to formulate controlled-release matrix tablets containing 25 mg baclofen. The tablets were prepared by wet granulation. Prior to compression, the prepared granules were evaluated for flow and compression characteristics. In vitro, newly formulated controlled-release tablets were compared with standard commercial tablets (Lioresal and baclofen). The excipients used in this study did not alter physicochemical properties of the drug, as tested by the thermal analysis using differential scanning calorimetry. The flow and compression characteristics of the prepared granules significantly improved by virtue of granulation process. Also, the prepared matrix tablets showed good mechanical properties (hardness and friability). MC- and Alg-based tablet formulations showed high release-retarding efficiency, and good reproducibility and stability of the drug release profiles when stored for 6 months in ambient room conditions, suggesting that MC and Alg are good candidates for preparing modified-release baclofen tablet formulations. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of increasing epinephrine load on the characteristics of fast-disintegrating
sublingual tablets for the potential emergency treatment of anaphylaxis. Four tablet formulations, A, B, C, and D, containing
0%, 6%, 12%, and 24% of epinephrine bitartrate, respectively, and microcrystalline cellulose:low-substituted hydroxypropyl
cellulose (9∶1), were prepared by direct compression, at a range of compression forces. Tablet weight variation, content uniformity,
hardness, disintegration time, wetting time, and friability were measured for each formulation at each compression force.
All 4 tablet formulations at each compression force were within the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) limits for weight variation and content uniformity. A linear increase in compression force resulted in an exponential increase
in hardness for all formulations, a linear increase in disintegration and wetting times of A, and an exponential increase
in disintegration and wetting times of B, C, and D. At a mean±SD hardness of ≥2.3±0.2 kg, all tablet formulations passed the
USP friability test. At a mean±SD hardness of ≤3.1±0.2 kg, all tablet formulations resulted in disintegration and wetting times
of <10 seconds and <30 seconds, respectively. Tablets with drug loads from 0% to 24% epinephrine can be formulated with hardness,
disintegration times, and wetting times suitable for sublingual administration. 相似文献

The purpose of this paper was to evaluate the compressional behavior of granules containing high load of a Phyllanthus niruri spray-dried extract in eccentric (ETM) and rotary (RTM) tablet presses. Tablets were constituted by spray-dried extract granules
(SDEG, 92%), excipient granules (EXCG, 7.92%), and magnesium stearate (0.08%). SDEG was obtained by dry granulation and EXCG,
composed of microcrystalline cellulose (62.9%) and sodium starch glycolate (37.1%), by wet granulation. Particle size distribution
was fixed between 0.250 and 0.850 mm. Tablets did not evidence any mechanical failures, such as lamination or capping, or
anomalous weight variation in either tablet machine types. Upper and lower tablet surface photomicrographs from ETM and RTM
tablets showed differences in porosity and texture. Different RTM speeds suggested the visco-plastic behavior of the formulation,
since, by slowing down rotation speeds, the tensile strength of the tablets increased significantly, but the porosity and
disintegration time were not affected. Tablets produced in RTM showed lower friability and porosity than ETM tablets, which
did not reflect on higher tensile strength. The EXCG distribution at upper and lower surfaces from ETM and RTM tablets was
quantified by image analysis and evaluated through statistical methods. Spray-dried extract release was not influenced by
the type of equipment or operational conditions to which the compacts were submitted. Construction and operation differences
between both tablet presses influenced the final product, since tablets with similar tensile strength, made by distinct tablet
machines, exhibited different quality parameters. 相似文献

Pharmaceutical tablets are manufactured through a series of batch steps finishing with compression into a form using a tablet press. Lubricants are added to the powder mixture prior to the tabletting step to ensure that the tablet is ejected properly from the press. The addition of lubricants also affects tablet properties and can affect the behavior of the powder mixture. The objective of this research was to investigate the effect of lubricants on powder flowability as flowability into the tablet press is critical. Four lubricants (magnesium stearate, magnesium silicate, stearic acid, and calcium stearate) were mixed, in varying amounts, with spray-dried lactose. In addition, magnesium stearate was also mixed with placebo granules from a high-shear granulator. Measurements based on avalanche behavior indicated flowability potential and dynamic density and were more sensitive to changes in the mixture and provided a more accurate and reproducible indication of flowability than traditional static measurements. Of the tested lubricants, magnesium stearate provided the best increase in flowability even in the low amounts commonly added in formulations. 相似文献

The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of manufacturing parameters on the moisture sorption isotherms
of some tablet formulations and to predict the moisture isotherms of the final formulations using polynomial equations. Three
tablet formulations including a placebo and 2 drug products were prepared through wet granulation, drying, compression, and
coating processes. Equilibrium moisture content of excipients and granules at 25°C with different relative humidities were
determined using a dynamic moisture sorption microbalance, while such data for tablets were determined using desiccators.
Moisture sorption isotherms were expressed in polynomial equations. Excipient isotherms were used to predict the moisture
sorption isotherms of the 3 tablet products. Results showed that different physical properties of granules and tablets, such
as particle size distribution, density, and porosity resulting from different granulation and compression conditions did not
have significant effect on the moisture isotherms of the materials. Changing coating materials from a powder mixture to a
film also did not change the moisture sorption characteristics significantly. The predicted moisture sorption isotherms of
the formulations agreed well with the experimental results. These results show that moisture isotherms of solid pharmaceutical
products manufactured with conventional processes may be predicted using the isotherms of excipients, and polynomial equations
may be used as a tool for the prediction of moisture isotherms. 相似文献

The purpose of this work was to investigate the effect of different polysulfonate resins and direct compression fillers on
physical properties of multiple-unit sustained-release dextromethorphan (DMP) tablets. DMP resinates were formed by a complexation
of DMP and strong cation exchange resins, Dowex 50 W and Amberlite IRP69. The tablets consisted of the DMP resinates and direct
compression fillers, such as microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), dicalcium phosphate dihydrate (DCP), and spray-dried rice starch
(SDRS). Physical properties of tablets, such as hardness, disintegration time, and in vitro release, were investigated. A
good performance of the tablets was obtained when MCC or SDRS was used. The use of rod-like and plate-like particles of Amberlite
IRP69 caused a statistical decrease in tablet hardness, whereas good tablet hardness was obtained when spherical particle
of Dowex 50 W was used. The plastic deformation of the fillers, such as MCC and SDRS, caused a little change in the release
of DMP. A higher release rate constant was found in the tablets containing DCP and Dowex 50 W, indicating the fracture of
the resinates under compression, which was attributable to the fragmentation of DCP. However, the release of DMP from the
tablets using Amberlite IRP69 was not significantly changed because of the higher degree of cross-linking of the resinates,
which exhibited more resistance to deformation under compression. In conclusion, the properties of polysulfonate resin, such
as particle shape and degree of cross-linking, and the deformation under compaction of fillers affect the physical properties
and the drug release of the resinate tablets.

This study presents a new approach to model powder compression during tableting. The purpose of this study is to introduce
a new discrete element simulation model for particle–particle bond formation during tablet compression. This model served
as the basis for calculating tablet strength distribution during a compression cycle. Simulated results were compared with
real tablets compressed from microcrystalline cellulose/theophylline pellets with various compression forces. Simulated and
experimental compression forces increased similarly. Tablet-breaking forces increased with the calculated strengths obtained
from the simulations. The calculated bond strength distribution inside the tablets showed features similar to those of the
density and pressure distributions in the literature. However, the bond strength distributions at the center of the tablets
varied considerably between individual tablets. 相似文献

The purpose of this work was to evaluate and compare the functionality of bovine fatty acids-derived (MgSt-B) and vegetable
fatty acids-derived (MgSt-V) magnesium stearate powders when used for the lubrication of granules prepared by high-shear (HSG)
and fluid bed (FBG) wet granulation methods. The work included evaluation of tablet compression and ejection forces during
tabletting and dissolution testing of the compressed tablets. Granules prepared by both granulation methods required significantly
lower ejection force (p < 0.01) when lubricated with the MgSt-V powder as compared to those lubricated with the MgSt-B powder. Granules prepared
by the HSG method and lubricated with the MgSt-V powder also required significantly lower compression force (p < 0.01) to produce tablets of similar weight and hardness as compared to those lubricated with the MgSt-B powder. The dissolution
profiles were not affected by these differences and were the same for tablets prepared by same granulation method and lubricated
with either magnesium stearate powder. The results indicate significant differences (p < 0.01) between lubrication efficiency of the MgSt-B and the MgSt-V powders and emphasize the importance of functionality
testing of the MgSt powders to understand the impact of these differences.
