Abstract
Some Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) have been found to be deliquescent in nature and their formulation into solid dosage forms have been difficult and expensive. The conventional approach currently employed in the tablet formulation of deliquescent APIs involves procedures to build a humidity control system in conjunction with a cooling/heating system. Complex instrumentation and digital controls involving expensive gadgets such as a Programmable Logic Controller, a humidity transmitter, a pan humidifier, power contactors, a thermostatically controlled heater and a set of solenoid valves are used. The high cost of total equipment becomes prohibitive for the average users. The innovative approach would be a cheaper procedure involving the use of an efflorescent material as a diluent of the deliquescent API. In this study, a nano-silica namely AEROSIL R927 Pharma�?庐 (originally obtained from common sand) was triturated with the deliquescent powdered extract of Vernonia galamensis (the deliquescent API) in the ratio 1:1.4 and carefully formulated into tablets by a 芒�?�?closely monitored芒�?�? wet granulation procedure. The effect of moisture on the mixture was characterized using FTIR and DSC, and the mechanical strength and quality of tablets were investigated using tensile strength, CSFR:DT ratio, and dissolution rate. Results show that good quality tablets can be produced from deliquescent APIs at an astonishing cheap price and low energy of production.Biography
