Metallic Oxides

The performance of a series of inorganic salts as direct compression excipients was systematically evaluated. The physical-chemical and technological properties of the different salts were investigated in terms of crystalline/amorphous state, morphology, granulometry, apparent/tapped density,…

The shapes of particles and their distribution in tablets, controlled by pretreatment and tableting process, determine the pharmaceutical performance of excipient like lubricant. This study aims to provide deeper insights to the relationship of the morphology and spatial distribution of stearic acid…

This study aimed to clarify the effects of magnesium oxide (MgO) on the hardness of orally disintegrating tablets (ODTs) during storage. ODTs containing a range of MgO concentrations were prepared by direct powder compression and stored for up to 4 weeks in an unpackaged condition at 40°C, with 75%…
