Physical properties spray-dried lactose

Different localized levels of molecular order can coexist in some pharmaceutical materials, giving rise to the occurrence of partially crystalline (and partially amorphous ) systems. In most cases, the properties of such materials (e.g., density) are intermediate to those of the 100% amorphous and 100% crystalline samples. By deliberately varying the level of crystallinity in such systems, their properties can be customized for a particular purpose. An example of this is with the tableting excipients microcrystalline cellulose and spray-dried lactose, which have had their compression characteristics optimized by manipulating their amorphous content. The properties of partially crystalline materials may be approximated in many instances by making physical mixtures of the totally amorphous and crystalline samples. This is known as the two-state model for partially crystalline systems.However, such experiments should be undertaken with caution as the mixed two-state material can sometimes have significantly different properties from the partially crystalline material that is manufactured directly (the real one-state system). ... [Pg.84]

Controlled optimal particle size and size distribution ensures superior flow properties of coprocessed excipients and reduced reliance on addition of glidants. The volumetric flow properties of SMCC were studied in comparison with those of the physical mixture of its parent excipients (42). The particle size range of the two test samples was found to be similar, but the flow of coprocessed excipient was better than that of the physical mixture. A comparison of the flow properties of Cellactose with its parent excipients was also performed (5) by measuring the angle of repose and Hausner ratio, and Cellactose was found to have better flow characteristics than lactose or a physical mixture of cellulose and lactose. The spray-dried coprocessed product had a spherical shape and even surfaces, which resulted in improved flow properties. On similar terms, mechanically coating the 2% CSD over microfine cellulose powder resulted in improving its flow properties (43). [Pg.118]
