Abstract
This study investigates the effects of disintegrants sodium starch glycolate (SSG) and crospovidone (CP) on the printability, rheological properties, and disintegration time of agar and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC)-based formulations designed for semi-solid extrusion. Printability was assessed by measuring the dimensional accuracy of manually extruded filaments. Rheological analysis was performed using oscillatory measurements. Principal component analysis (PCA) and Spearman correlation analysis identified three key components (phase angle, critical strain, and elastic modulus) that explained the total variance in the rheological dataset. A 2 × 3 factorial design was employed to evaluate the impact of CP, SSG, and HPMC on these rheological parameters, as well as on printability and disintegration time. Results indicated that formulations containing HPMC and SSG generally exhibited better printability. Formulations containing CP achieved satisfactory printability only when SSG or HPMC was included. The optimal printability and rheological properties were achieved with formulations containing 5 % CP and 10 % SSG. Linear regression models correlated geometric volumes of the model and pycnometric volumes of printed objects, with validation showing that predicted masses were within a 95 % confidence interval of measured values for various shapes. All formulations demonstrated immediate-release properties, confirming the successful fabrication of personalised immediate-release dosage forms using semi-solid extrusion technology.
期刊介绍:
The journal publishes research articles, review articles and scientific commentaries on all aspects of the pharmaceutical sciences with emphasis on conceptual novelty and scientific quality. The Editors welcome articles in this multidisciplinary field, with a focus on topics relevant for drug discovery and development.
More specifically, the Journal publishes reports on medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, drug absorption and metabolism, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, pharmaceutical and biomedical analysis, drug delivery (including gene delivery), drug targeting, pharmaceutical technology, pharmaceutical biotechnology and clinical drug evaluation. The journal will typically not give priority to manuscripts focusing primarily on organic synthesis, natural products, adaptation of analytical approaches, or discussions pertaining to drug policy making.
Scientific commentaries and review articles are generally by invitation only or by consent of the Editors. Proceedings of scientific meetings may be published as special issues or supplements to the Journal.
