Starch acetates SA with a degree of FTIR spectra of the SAs were used to verify the acetylation of the NS. For instance starch generally has to be present at levels greater than 5 to adversely affect compactibility especially in direct compression.
Traditionally starch has been the disintegrant of choice in tablet formulations and it is still widely used.
Use of starch in tablet formulation. Relatively few are in common usage today. Traditionally starch has been the disintegrant of choice in tablet formulations and it is still widely used. For instance starch generally has to be present at levels greater than 5 to adversely affect compactibility especially in direct compression.
In tablet formulations freshly prepared corn starch paste is used at a concentration of 525 ww in tablet granulations as a binder. Selection of the quantity required in a given system is determined by optimization studies using parameters such as granule friability tablet. Results revealed that partly pregelatinized starch is a relatively suitable binder for orally disintegrating tablets as it also serves as a disintegrant.
Next we employed a central composite design for 2 factors namely corn starch and partly pregelatinized starch in order to design granules suited for orally disintegrating tablets composed of D-mannitol corn starch or partly pregelatinized starch. Granulation of rice starch changed it into a potential filler-binder in tablets prepared by direct compression. Rice starch showed much better comp Native starch in tablet formulations.
Properties on compaction SpringerLink. Traditionally starch has been the disintegrant of choice in tablet formulations and it is still widely used. For instance starch generally has to be present at levels greater than 5 to adversely affect compactibility especially in direct compression.
Moreover intra granular starch in wet granulations is not as effective as dry starch. The most common use of starch as a pharmaceutical excipient is as binder and disintegrant in the formulation of tablets and other solid dosage forms. Its behavior in the presence of water is therefore its most important property from the perspective of the pharmaceutical industry.
In most of the case it is not necessary to use all of the excipients for tablets because some excipients serve two or more functions. For example starch is a multi-functional excipient for tablets. It may serve as diluent binder and disintegrating agent.
Besides the function of some excipients not necessary in some formulation. Important materials commonly used as binders are starch gelatin natural gum sugar acacia polyethylene glycol water etc. Starch is the most common binder and pharmaceutical excipient used in tablet formulation How to cite this article Ordu JI Onyemelukwe JI.
Added to a tablet formulation to facilitate its breaking or disintegration when it contact in water in the GIT. Starch- 5-20 of tablet weight. Starch derivative Primogel and Explotab 1-8 Clays- Veegum.
Tablet binder or binding agent are the substances which are added either dry or in liquid form during wet granulation to form granules or to promote cohesive compacts for directly compressed tablets. For example starch pregelatinized starch PEG sorbitol and HPMC etc. In addition the Starch 1500 in the formulation was replaced with further ratios of MCC and lactose Tables 1 2.
Tablets of all four formulations were compressed and placed in open containers at 40ยบ 75 RH for 16 weeks. For the blister packaging study the marketed containing lactose MCC and test formulations containing Starch 1500 MCC. Starches are extensively used in the pharmaceutical industry especially as excipients in tablet formulation.
It is now widely acknowledged that starches in their native form have functional limitations. Modification is a means of enhancing the functionality. Unmodifiednative potato starch Amylum solani is a white odourless and inert multifunctional excipient which is widely used not only in conventional pharmaceutical operations such as tableting capsule filling or granulation but also in novel formulation technologies as a filler diluent binder or disintegrant.
In order to improve processability or extend the range of potato starch application different types of. Various types of disintegrants may be used in the manufacture of tablets however starch is the most widely employed and best established disintegrant. It is available in various grades and modified forms.
Among them maize starch was proved to be the best one. Microcrystalline cellulose Avicel is also extensively used as a disintegrant. It has a moisture content of upto 3 and has a fast wicking rate for.
Pregelatinized maize starch is commonly used as a binder- disintegrant in immediate release tablet formulations but it was also considered for sustained release formulations 1-3. Therefore the historical claim of Leach claiming the starch having very limited obstructive power for the drug release seems to be not entirely valid. Some material have strong adhesive properties towards the metal of punches and dies or the tablet formulation containing excessive moisture which has tendency to result in picking and sticking problem.
Therefore Anti-adherents are added which prevent sticking to punches and die walls. Talc magnesium stearate and corn starch have excellent Anti-adherents properties. Are prerequisite during direct compression DC of tablets.
Hence in this study TB1 starch was acetylated using acetic anhydride and evaluated as an ideal excipient for direct compression. Starch acetates SA with a degree of FTIR spectra of the SAs were used to verify the acetylation of the NS.
