Definitions
- Process for the production of a granulate comprising the steps of a) preparing a granulation liquid, comprising the steps i) submitting a liquid comprising a binder, ii) adding an organic filler or inorganic filler to the liquid comprising a binder, iii) obtaining a granulation liquid, and b) preparing a granulation base by i) mixing of an inorganic filler selected form a weight increaser, inorganic salt and an inorganic buffer material, a carrier material, a disintegrant, an inorganic filler, and anticaking enhancer, in particular dry mixing, and obtaining the granulation base, and c) preparing the granulation composition by i) contacting, in particular spraying or pouring, of the granulation liquid with the granulation base and obtaining a granulation mixture comprising a liquid, and followed by d) sieving and/or extruding of the wet granulation mixture comprising liquid, and e) subjecting
- the compounds can be in the form of pellets or granules, or extrudates with sufficient hardness properties, wherein each pellet, granule or extrudate may be coated for a retardation or sustain release as colon targeting.
- a matrix particle in each described form can be used as well.
- a typical MUPS tablet comprises multiple compressed functional particles, here compounds in form of a pellet, granule or extrudate. The particles can be compressed in a mixture with powdery excipients, such as disintegrants, fillers etc.
- the pellets comprising an API active pharmaceutical ingredient
- the tablet releases in the stomach into the individual pellets by the digestive secretion.
- a particular advantage of coated pellets in contrast to coated conventional tablet formulations, is, that there is no immediate release of the entire active ingredient after a possible damage to the coating. Consequently, the risk of toxic effects due to overdose is avoided. Due to the different coating options of the individual pellets and their mixture, it is possible to process functional particles of different release kinetics in one dosage form. Further advantage of MUPS formulation is the shorter time frame, multiple small units can reach the section of action or resorption in gastric intestinal tract. Due to the MUPS formulation is disintegrating after swallowing in the stomach and release in multiple small functional units the passage in every fat stage is faster, compared with a single unit like a tablet.

- Caffeine was chosen because it is a micronized powder with a high solubility in acid and buffers to indicate one of the worst cases.
- the competitor products for comparison trials were:
- the compression force differs from product to product in between 12-25 KN to achieve a proper hardness.
- the punch size is 10 mm
- the resulting tablet height with the different products differs in comparison of the products depending on the product supplier and necessary compression force 0.2-0.5 mm
- Texture Analyzer This Equipment was chosen in comparison to a disintegration tester. The Texture Analyzer provides more reliable data to compare fast disintegrating tablets.
- results are documented with a decomposition diagram and video documentation for visual comparison of the test candidates.
- Combilac of the company Meggle (patented in EP1175899 B1) Disintegrates as quickly as Example 1 granules in a 60ml warm water but has a strong tendency to attach to the punches and would therefore be unsuitable for production without modification. So, no "ready to use” tablet granules. Furthermore, this mixture flows poorly in the tablet press and thus causes weight deviations. The tablets accumulate in the tablet ramp of the tablet press due to poor slipping properties.
- Example 1 granule provides a fast-disintegrating tablet.
- the flowability in tablet press is steady.
- the granule is easy compressible with low compression forces.
- the example 1 granules can be used ready out of the box at future customers.
- Example 2 granule provides a fast-disintegrating tablet in between 10 sec., which is suitable for ODT formulation.
- the flowability in tablet press is steady by adding 0.5% Mg-stearate.
- the granule is easy compressible with low compression forces.
- the product was compressed on a single punch tablet compression equipment (Korsch XP1)
- the punch size is 10mm
- Example 3 granule is a further evolution of Example 1 granules by an additional process step whereon the granules are processed with a sustained release polymer for achieving a matrix granule which can be used for matrix tablets only by adding an arbitrary API.
- the granule contains 15% functional polymer on granule weight.
- Caffeine as model substance with 50% caffeine content in the final dosage form. This led to 7.5% polymer content in the final dosage form.
- This tablet granule/caffeine blend is easy to compress with low compression forces. In this way of formulating a matrix tablet there isn’t needed to tread the API with a functional polymer first, potentially with the tablet mass, before it is formulated in a matrix system. This system conserves possible sensitive API against water or organic liquid impacts.
- the product was compressed on a single punch tablet compression equipment (Korsch XP1) The compression velocity was adjusted for 10.000 tablets/h
- the punch size is 10mm
- Example 1 The granules of Example 1 are blended with AvailOM in 1 :1 weight ratio. This is compressed on a single punch tablet press.
- the tablets don’t show significant oily surfaces.
- the blend is easy to compress with low compression force.
