Minimizing agglomeration of drug particle coating material during storage to stabilize disintegration times of pharmaceutical products
Provided are pharmaceutical compositions and methods for preparing pharmaceutical compositions using solventless mixing methods. Excess coating material that is not bound to a coated API particle may be removed by a sieving process. Coating and dosing ratios can also be optimized to minimize the amount of excess unbound coating material. Specifically, a coating ratio and/or a dosing ratio can be used to minimize the residual amount of excess unbound coating material to minimize agglomeration of coating material during storage. In some embodiments, a pharmaceutical composition is provided, the pharmaceutical composition comprising: 65-85 % w/w API particles; 15-30 % w/w coating material coating the API particles; and 3-15 % w/w matrix surrounding the coated API particles, wherein the pharmaceutical composition comprises a disintegration time rate of less than 10 seconds for at least six months under storage conditions of at least 25° C. and at least 60 % relative humidity.
MINIMIZING AGGLOMERATION, AERATION, AND PRESERVING THE COATING OF PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING IBUPROFEN
Provided are pharmaceutical compositions and methods for preparing pharmaceutical compositions comprising Ibuprofen using solventless mixing methods. Excess coating material that is not bound to coated Ibuprofen may be removed by a sieving process. Coating and dosing ratios can also be optimized to minimize the amount of excess unbound coating material. Additionally, the compositions can be formulated to preserve the functional coating of coated Ibuprofen and to minimize aeration of Ibuprofen when mixed into suspension.
MICROSPHERES AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THEM
An organic solvent-free method for producing a plurality of microsphere having an average diameter of less than 500 μm in diameter and having average contact angle θc greater than 140°, consisting essentially of a biocompatible hot-melt carrier vehicle and a payload substance to be delivered, comprising; melting and mixing a polymer carrier vehicle which is solid at room temperature and at least one payload substance, and dispensing microportions of the molten mixture through a droplet-forming space onto a cooled solid superoleophobic surface.
PRENATAL PROBIOTIC FORMULATIONS
Provided herein are prenatal methods comprising administering an effective amount of a biocompatible microsphere comprising a biofilm-generating probiotic bacterium, a prebiotic, and/or a prebiofilmic.
PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF COMPRESSED TABLETS
The present patent application relates a process for the production of compressed tablets using specific coated particles, wherein the coating (system) comprises at least one wax and/or at least one fat. Furthermore it relates to compressed (compacted) tablets and as well as to specific coated particles.
TASTE MASKING DRUG FORMULATIONS
The present disclosure relates to a taste-masking microcapsule composition The composition comprises a core portion encapsulated by a shell portion. The core portion comprises an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and one or more excipients. The shell portion comprises a hydrophobic matrix and a pH-responsive material. The microcapsule compositions prevent API release at the more neutral pH levels in the oral cavity, but upon exposure to pH levels of the stomach, the pH-responsive material becomes soluble thereby permitting release of the API.
Minimizing agglomeration, aeration, and preserving the coating of pharmaceutical compositions comprising ibuprofen
Provided are pharmaceutical compositions and methods for preparing pharmaceutical compositions comprising Ibuprofen using solventless mixing methods. Excess coating material that is not bound to coated Ibuprofen may be removed by a sieving process. Coating and dosing ratios can also be optimized to minimize the amount of excess unbound coating material. Additionally, the compositions can be formulated to preserve the functional coating of coated Ibuprofen and to minimize aeration of Ibuprofen when mixed into suspension.
Process for the production of compressed tablets
The present patent application relates a process for the production of compressed tablets using specific coated particles, wherein the coating (system) comprises at least one wax and/or at least one fat. Furthermore it relates to compressed (compacted) tablets and as well as to specific coated particles.
MOISTURE RESISTANT PROBIOTIC GRANULE AND METHODS OF PRODUCING THE SAME
There is provided a probiotic microcapsule comprising a core comprising probiotic microorganisms; and a coating layer comprising a hybrid solid dispersion comprising an edible fatty molecule evenly dispersed within a water-soluble film forming polymer and an edible mediator, wherein said edible mediator is starch octenyl succinate.
