In this study, tablet containing L-HPC NBD is prepared by super-high speed direct compression, and the deviation of the tablet properties is evaluated.
The effect of a glidant on L-HPC [L-029]
In this study, the effect of the glidant (colloidal silicon dioxide, Adsolider® 101) was verified using several L-HPC grades. Additionally tablet properties from placebo formulation which contained high level of L-HPC (40%) were also tested.
The effect of a glidant on L-HPC for dry granulation [L-030]
In this study, ethendiamide was used as a model drug, the effect of the glidant (colloidal silicon dioxide, Adsolider® 101) in dry granulation with L-HPC was studied.
Twin screw granulation using L-HPC [L-028]
In this study, the performance of L-HPC in twin screw granulation is discussed and basic process parameters are established.
Water absorption of L-HPC [L-041]
L-HPC absorbs water and significantly expands the volume. This swelling action results in tablets disintegrating quickly. In this study, water absorption of L-HPC was evaluated by wettability analysis.
Water binding capability of L-HPC in wet granulation [L-018]
In this study, the water binding capability of different grades of L-HPC in the wet granulation process was discussed and compared with the combination of microcrystalline cellulose and other disintegrant.
