Mouth Dissolving Tablets (MDTs) have received ever-increasing demand during the last decade and the field has become a rapidly growing area of research in the pharmaceutical industry. Upon introduction into the mouth, these tablets dissolve or disintegrate in the mouth in the absence of additional water for easy administration of active pharmaceutical ingredients. The popularity and usefulness of the formulation resulted in development of several MDT technologies. This review describes various formulations and technologies developed to achieve fast dissolution/dispersion of tablets in the oral cavity. In particular, this review describes in detail MDT technologies based on lyophilization, moulding, sublimation and compaction, as well as approaches to enhance the MDT properties, such as spray drying, moisture treatment, sintering, and use of sugar-based disintegrants.

Dear Reader, As I write this editorial, some of the current events that we are faced with in the pharmaceutical industry in INDIA, bears greatly on my mind. The exponential rise in the cost of a large number of APIs is causing great anguish and stress for formulation manufacturers. The rise in the cost of these APIs or their intermediates sourced from China is attributed as the reason for this increase. As a result, a number of essential drugs are experiencing shortages in various parts of our country. The year 2015 was declared as the year of ACTIVE PHARMACEUTICAL INGREDIENTS (APIs) by the Department of Pharmaceuticals. While we still await the announcement of concessions based on the multiple representations made to the various ministries, the current crisis maybe a god sent opportunity for the domestic API manufacturers to restart manufacturing a number of the APIs that were uneconomical due to price pressures from APIs produced in China

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> A low rate of investment in science it is directly impacts the technological independence and capacity in health care costs. Knowledge of funding sources is critical to understand the problem and formulates hypotheses for future studies.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> Two databases were used: the System for Control of Clinical Research (SCCR) from the Brazilian Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa), and the International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP).  </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> From 2009 to 2012, 77% of the clinical trials approved by Anvisa were sponsored by transnational pharmaceutical industry. On the other hand, the national pharmaceutical industry sponsored 8% of the trials over the same period. The most frequent sponsor of clinical trials involving drugs registered in the ICTRP from 2011 to 2012 was the transnational pharmaceutical industry (43%). Among the trials with national sponsors, are those involving neglected diseases such as chronic hepatitis C (ICD X B18.2), cutaneous leishmaniasis (ICD X B55.1) and yellow fever (ICD X A95), which were all sponsored by national governmental foundations. None of the active pharmaceutical ingredients studied by the transnational pharmaceutical industry or the transnational biopharmaceutical company were in the national list of essential medicines. On the other hand, 83% and 66.6% of the active pharmaceutical ingredients studied by national private universities and the international governmental agency, respectively, are in the national list of essential medicines.  </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> The national pharmaceutical industry and government still invests little in Research and Development (R&amp;D) activities, when compared with transnational industries. This affects directly its technological and innovation ability.</p>

Background: We have synthesized three 5-R-1-aryl-1,5-dihydro-4Н-pyrazole(3,4-d)pyrimidine-4-one derivatives that previously have demonstrated powerful anticonvulsant activity. A great number of physicochemical factors are known to influence on bioavailability and stability of active pharmaceutical ingredients. Therefore the purpose of research was to determine the effect of purification technology and dispersibility of 5-R-1-aryl-1, 5-dihydro-4Н-pyrazole (3,4-d) pyrimidine-4-one derivatives on their anticonvulsant activity.Methods: The anticonvulsant effect of this compounds was studied in a model of pentylenetetrazole-induced seizure in mice.Results: The results obtained revealed the optimal solvent for recrystallization of compounds to be isopropanol: compounds, purified by recrystallization from isopropanol, had higher solubility in water and tween; also, they had a tendency to increase anticonvulsant activity. It was found that there is a significant dependence of the latter on compound’s dispersion - the smaller the size of crystals the higher anticonvulsant activity.Conclusions: The dependence of anticonvulsant activity of compounds on the degree of dispersion was proved: the smaller particle size the higher anticonvulsant activity. This can be explained by fast dissolution of fine-dispersed substances, thus increasing the bioavailability if the compounds studied.

<p>In this work we report the development of a cheap and scalable flow-based flash nanoprecipitation approach to prepare D-leucine nanoparticles particularly useful as glidants in dry powder for inhalation. Starting from preliminary batch screens, the process was successfully optimized and scaled-up under mesofluidic conditions. The nebulization with both mini and nano spray-dryer, the SEM analysis of nanoparticles and the aerodynamic evaluation of a formulation obtained by physical mixing of atomized D-leucine powders with budenoside showed an excellent decrease in particle size without altering the morphology, and a marked improvement in the aerodynamic properties of the drug. This simple and economic method by physical mixing of leucine with micronized active pharmaceutical ingredients can represent a valid alternative to co-spray-drying.</p>

Abstract The use of flow chemistry in the single- and multistep synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients has been well demonstrated. The pharmaceutical industry is now taking the next steps towards integration of flow chemistry into large-scale commercialized processes, which can effectively supply patient populations. This chapter details advances in this area, and outlines the data and knowledge required to select, develop, scale, and commercialize an efficient flow process.
