Mineral producer Omya will showcase its excipient, Omyapharm 500-OG (calcium carbonate and tribasic calcium phosphate) at CPhI Worldwide to be held in Madrid, Spain, on Oct. 9–11, 2018. The highly porous inactive ingredient provides compactability, good mechanical stability, high absorption capacity, and rapid disintegration to facilitate the production of tablets and granules. The company will demonstrate the multiple benefits of the excipient at its booth, H101, in Hall 8. The company’s...

Abstract A β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) polymer obtained by crosslinking β-CD with citric acid in its water-insoluble (PCD-I) and soluble (PCD-S) forms was used as a multifunctional direct compression excipient for tablet designing. PCD-I powder was obtained after grinding the solid fraction through a 200μm grid. PCD-S powder was recovered after lyophilization or spray drying of the PCD-S aqueous solutions, eventually followed by a wet granulation step. Both PCD-I and PCD-S powders were...

In the article, groups of multifunctional polymers used in drug dosage form technology were classified and evaluated. These compounds, in addition to their basic function as excipients, may have additional properties, e.g. stimuli sensitivity, enzyme inhibition, intestinal epithelium penetration enhancement, efflux pump inhibition, taste-masking, pharmacological activity and the ability to interact with enzymes responsible for drug metabolism. While classifying specific groups of...

Excipients are substances other than the active drug that form a vital constituent of a formulation. Albumin as an excipient has wide applications in drug formulation, drug delivery, vaccine manufacturing and as a component of media for the production of vaccines.
