This study optimizes direct compression tablet formulations using lactose and microcrystalline cellulose. A mathematical model identified optimal compositions and effective disintegrants for enhanced tablet properties.

Area of Science:

  • Pharmaceutical Sciences
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Direct compression is a preferred method for tablet manufacturing due to its efficiency.
  • Optimizing excipient blends, including lactose and microcrystalline cellulose, is crucial for tablet quality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the optimal composition of a direct compression mixture using alpha-lactose monohydrate, roller-dried beta-lactose, and microcrystalline cellulose.
  • To evaluate the impact of various disintegrants on tablet properties.

Main Methods:

  • A simplex lattice design was employed to systematically explore mixture compositions.
  • Mathematical modeling and contour plots were used to predict and visualize tablet properties.
  • The effects of sodium starch glycolate, croscarmellose sodium, and crospovidone at 4% were assessed.

Main Results:

  • An optimal mixture composition was identified using the developed mathematical model.
  • All tested disintegrants (sodium starch glycolate, croscarmellose sodium, crospovidone) proved effective.
  • Drug dissolution rate was evaluated using oxazepam with crospovidone.

Conclusions:

  • A systematic optimization technique successfully identified ideal direct compression formulations.
  • The study provides a predictive model for tablet properties based on excipient composition.
  • Effective disintegrant selection is critical for achieving desired tablet performance.
