Abstract:
Direct compression(DC) technology has been successfully applied in the continuous manufacturing of chemical tablet owing to simplified process and low energy consumption. However, due to its complex composition, poor fluidity, poor compressibility, and strong hygroscopicity, the direct compression of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) powder faces significant challenges, which seriously restrict the industrialization of this technology and continuous manufacturing mode in the field of TCM. This study focused on the applicability of DC of TCM powder. Furthermore, the latest research progresses in improving the tableting performance through specific strategies such as single excipient modification, functional excipient co-processing development, and particle design(such as the construction of porous particles and composite particles) were systematically reviewed. Additionally, this study discussed the key technologies and compatibility requirements of its integration with the continuous manufacturing process, aiming to provide a practical theoretical basis and technical ideas for promoting the development and application of efficient and stable continuous DC technology of TCM tablet.
