Behavioral characteristics in the gastrointestinal tract
concept
Disintegration: refers to the process in which oral solid preparations are completely disintegrated, dissolved or broken into granules under specified conditions. Except for insoluble coating materials or broken capsule shells, they should all pass through the screen of the disintegration instrument.
Dispersion: refers to the process in which coarse particles formed after disintegration of the preparation are further broken into fine particles.
Dissolution: refers to the process by which a drug is released from a solid preparation and dissolved in body fluids
Dissolution (release rate in some preparations): refers to the rate and degree of dissolution of the active drug from the preparation under specified conditions.
The dissolution rate constant k1 of the drug after the tablet contacts the gastrointestinal fluid, the dissolution rate constant k2 of the drug after the tablet disintegrates into coarse particles, and the dissolution rate constant k3 of the drug after the coarse particles are further dispersed into fine particles; k3>k2>k1
Measures to improve dissolution rate
(1) Increase the dissolution area of the drug (crushing, disintegration)
(2) Increase the dissolution rate constant
(3) Improving drug solvents (changing crystal forms, making solid dispersants, etc.)
powder science micromeritics
Powder: Powder refers to an aggregate composed of many individual solid particles. It is customary to call powder less than 100μm, and particles larger than 100μm.
Powder science: The science and technology that studies the particle size distribution, shape and other basic characteristics of solid particles and other properties is called powder science
Properties of powder particles
Particle size and particle size distribution
Particle size: an indicator of particle size, one of the most basic physical properties of powder
display method
Geometric diameter: major diameter, width diameter, directional diameter, equivalent diameter
Specific surface area diameter
Effective diameter: also known as Stoke's diameter
The average particle size
Particle size distribution: an important index reflecting the uniformity of particle size, generally described in terms of distribution range and frequency.
test methods:
Microscopy (geometric particle size)
Sieving method (above 45μm)
Laser diffraction particle size analysis method (not suitable for wider particle size distribution)
Coulter counting method (suitable for suspensions, emulsions, liposomes, powdered drugs, etc.)
Sedimentation method (range below 100μm)

Cascade impactor method (aerosol)
Morphology and specific surface area
Particle form
shape index
Sphericity
circularity
Shape factor
Specific surface area
Definition: The surface area of a solid per unit mass or unit volume, represented by Sm and Sv respectively.
Determination method: adsorption method, penetration method
Powder density and void ratio
density density
True density: ρ=m/V∞, the ratio of the mass of the powder to the volume of the particles excluding all voids
Particle density: ρ=m/(V∞ V1), the density calculated by excluding only the measured volume of the gaps between particles
Bulk density: ρ=m/(V∞ V1 V2), the mass of unit volume of powder, its volume includes the total volume of the particles themselves and all the gaps between the particles.
Porosity: the ratio of the total volume of the voids between particles and the particles themselves in the powder to the total volume of the powder, which can be expressed as the intra-particle void (V1) rate, the inter-particle void (V2) rate, and the total void (V1 V2) rate
Liquidity and filling
fluidity
display method
Angle of repose: The angle between the stacking slope and the horizontal plane when the powder is stacked. The smaller the value, the better the liquidity.
Flow rate: The amount of powder flowing out of a small hole container with a certain hole diameter at the bottom per unit time. The greater the outflow rate, the better the fluidity
Compression index: ≤10 powder is very easy to flow, 11~15 is easy to flow, 16~20 is flowable, 21~25 is poor, and the following 5 intervals are poor, very poor, and extremely poor.
Ways to improve liquidity
Increase particle size appropriately
Control the humidity of powder
Add lubricant
Others: changing ion morphology and surface roughness, increasing particle density, improving preparation conditions, etc.
packability packability
Influencing factors:
Particle size, shape and surface properties
glidant
Hygroscopicity and wettability
moisture absorption
Definition: The ability of powder to absorb moisture in the environment during storage is an inherent property of powder.
Critical relative humidity (CRH): Water-soluble drug powder generally does not absorb moisture in an environment with low relative humidity, but when the relative humidity is raised to a certain value, the amount of moisture absorbed can be rapidly increased. The humidity at this time is CRH.
The CRH value of a water-soluble mixture is approximately equal to the product of the CRH values of each substance (CRHAB=CRHA×CRHB), regardless of the proportion of each component
Wetting: The phenomenon that the air adsorbed on the surface of the powder is replaced by liquid is called wetting. The nature of this liquid-gas exchange is called wettability. It is often described by the contact angle θ. θ<90° means easy wetting, 90°~180° means no wetting, and 180° means no wetting at all.
Adhesion and cohesion
Adhesion: The attraction between molecules of different substances that causes particles to adhere to each other.
Cohesion: the property of several particles adhering to each other due to the attraction between molecules of the same substance
(*)Compressibility
Expression form: compressibility, moldability, tabletability
Forms of particle deformation: elastic deformation, plastic deformation, brittle deformation
The mechanism of powder compression molding
After compression, the distance between particles decreases and creates an attractive force.
The plastic deformation contact area increases when particles are under pressure.
After the particles are crushed under pressure, a new surface is produced with a large surface free energy.
When deformed under pressure, they fit together to produce a mechanical bonding force.
Frictional heat generates partial melting of the material, and then solidifies again to form a solid bridge.
Water-soluble ingredients form solid bridges at points of contact

Unit operations for solid dosage forms
crush crushing
Definition: The process of crushing and grinding large solid materials into small pieces, powder or even ultra-fine powder with the help of mechanical force

sieving seiving
Definition: The process of separating drugs of different particle sizes with the help of screens
Types of medicine sieves: punch sieve, woven sieve. There are nine specifications from No. 1 to No. 9. The larger the sieve number, the smaller the inner diameter of the sieve holes.

Knead
Instant soft material: Adding a small amount of liquid to solid powder, the liquid evenly wets the inside and surface of the powder particles to prepare a uniform plastic material.

Dry granulation: A method of using strong pressure to crush uniformly mixed drugs and excipients into large flakes or blocks, and then crush them into particles of a certain size. There are heavy pressing method and rolling method
dry
Mechanism: When the hot air continuously transfers heat energy to the wet material, the moisture in the wet material continues to vaporize, and the moisture inside the material continuously diffuses to the surface of the material in liquid and gaseous states, so that the moisture in the wet material continues to decrease. And dry
Properties of moisture in materials
Equilibrium moisture: The moisture contained when the partial pressure of water vapor generated on the surface of the material is equal to the partial pressure of water vapor in the air. Cannot be removed by drying
Free moisture: The portion of moisture in the material that is more than the equilibrium moisture. Dry and removable
Bound moisture: moisture bound physically and chemically, with a slow drying rate
Unbound moisture: moisture that is mechanically bound and dries quickly
Factors affecting drying rate
constant speed drying
Increase air temperature
Reduce air humidity
Improve heat and mass transfer driving force
Reduced speed drying
Increase material temperature
Improve material dispersion
Promote the diffusion of internal moisture to the surface
Drying methods: convection drying, conductive drying, radiation drying (infrared: consumes electricity, microwave: high cost and affects stability), dielectric heating drying, freeze drying (especially suitable for heat-sensitive materials, but requires large investment and high production costs)
