Abstract:
A tableting process analyzer (TabAll) was used to predict disintegration time in the mouth of rapidly disintegrating tablet. Analyzer profiles recorded upper punch displacement and die wall force encountered during tablet processing. Changes in the mixing ratio of spherical sugar granules and microcrystalline cellulose or lactose affected upper punch displacement and die wall force profiles. Analysis of the compaction process revealed a strong association between disintegration time in the mouth and stationary time, relaxation time of upper punch displacement, and relaxation time of die wall force; disintegration time in the mouth decreased as the three parameters increased. Thus, analysis of the compaction process is useful for predicting disintegration time in the mouth of rapidly disintegrating tablet, which can assist the formulation of new rapidly disintegrating tablets.
