Evaluation of the tableting mixtures containing the paracetamolum by the parameters of the equation of compression The diploma thesis deals with effect of paracetamol on the parameters of compression equation. These parameters characterize compression process in the individual phases of compression: precompression phase, phase of elastic deformation and phase of plastic deformation. Paracetamolum was studied in the five mixtures, where it occurred in different ratio with microcrystalline cellulose. Looseness, Carr's index and Hausner ratio were evaluated for each mixture. The sizes of reductions ai, sizes of energies Ei and Ri, "half-pressures" pHi and the velocity constants 1/ti were calculated using three-exponential equation of compression for the individual phases of pressing. The results showed poor flow properties of tableting mixtures and thus its unsuitability for direct compression. The results of the study have revealed that increasing amounts of paracetamolum in the mixture increase reduction of volume a1 and velocity of volume change 1/t1 in dependence on the amount of the extruded air and decrease the required energy due to the smooth surface and less friction during the precompression phase. Reduction of volume a2 decrease with the increase of content of paracetamol due to...

Effect of ascorbic acid on the parameters of compression equation Many mathematical models describing the compressing process are widely used in the development of new medicinal products in form of tablets. This process can be evaluated by means of compaction equations or throughout the viscoelastic properties. Compaction equation expresses dependency on height, volume or density of the used material which is being compressed by the applied compacting pressure. Based on the gained parameters, it is possible to describe specifically various stages of the compaction process, to determine characteristic properties of the studied material and accordingly to examine its mechanism. This thesis deals with the impact of the ascorbic acid on the parameters of compaction equation. The paperwork evaluates a mixture consisting of ascorbic acid (AA) and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) in the ratio of MCC : AA 100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75, 0:100. . The mostly used compression equations are described in the theoretic part. The three - exponential equation by Řehula created at the Department of Pharmaceutical Technology at Charles...

Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmaceutical Technology Student: Tisoňová Zuzana Consultant: Doc. RNDr. Milan Řehula, CSc. Compacting process is mathematically expressed by compression equations. It is characterized by various parameters of equations. The equation expresses the dependence of the volume, density and height on compacting pressure. In this paperwork, the parameters of compacting equation are evaluated and the pre-loading phase, the phase of elastic deformation and the phase of plastic deformation are studied. This thesis deals with impact of ibuprofen on the parameters of compaction equation. Five mixtures which included microcrystalline celulose and ibuprofen in different ratio 100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75 and 0:100 were studied. Results were based on the three-exponential equation. They were evaluated thanks to box plots. From the results obtained, it is obvious that with decreasing amount of microcrystalline cellulose, the parameter a1 has increased and the parameter E1 also slightly has increased. The composition of the used material didn't have any huge influence on parameters 1/t1 and pH1. During the phase of elastic deformation, the parameters a2 and E2 with decreasing amount of ibuprofen have decreased. On the other hand, the...

Title of Dissertation: Validation of a new method for the evaluation of stress relaxation of tablets Keywords: tablets, stress relaxation test, elastic and plastic deformation The theoretical part of this thesis deals with the elastic relaxation of tablets. It describes various methods used in the evaluation of elastic recovery of tablets. The present work explores the factors affecting the elastic relaxation of tablets. The experimental part is focused on the stress relaxation test. Until present only one delay was studied. This work studies the stress relaxation after relieving tablet. The parameters A2, T2 and P2 were reviewed. The relationship between the parameters P2 and compression force relief were studied. For experiments microcrystalline cellulose Avicel PH 102 (MCC) was used. Tablets were compressed in a device used for testing the strength of the material in pressure and tension T1-FRO 50. For the determination of the stress relaxation test, the tablets were compressed with 180 sec first delay. The second delay was always 60 sec but it was measured from certain decrease of pressure (7 kN, 6 kN, 5 kN, 4 kN, 3 kN, 2 kN, 1 kN and 0.1 kN). To...

Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of: Pharmaceutical technology Consultant: Doc. PharmDr. Zdeňka Šklubalová, Ph.D. Student: Ondřej Damborský Title of Thesis: Flow equation of sorbitol granules with addition of magnesium stearate. The aim of this thesis is to study particulate built and consolidation properties of the granulate prepared by wet granulation of sorbitol and it's size fractions in the range of 0,2 - 0,8 mm and it's influence of adding lubricate magnesium stearate 0.5% and 1.0%. The properties were studied by the angle of repose, the three kinds of bulk density, tap density, the Hausner ratio. The granules showed adequate to good flow properties. The addition of magnesium stearate flow increases the rate through the granulate sorbitol. Mass flow rate through the orifice the conical hopper of the test depending on the particle size and hole diameter were monitored. With increasing particle size the rate of pouring decreases, while the diameter of the hole had the opposite effect. Dependence of the flow rate to the average of the opening of the hopper was modeled by a power equation Jones-Pilpel. When using the current parameters with accuracy reverse estimate of the flow rate ranged between approximately 2 - 4%.

Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradci Králové Department of Pharmaceutical Technology Consultant: Mgr. Pavel Ondrejček, Ph.D. Student: Tomáš Marcinek Title of Thesis: The influence of the tableting speed on the compaction process The main aim of this thesis was to determine the influence of tableting speed on the compaction process of four substances. The compaction process was evaluated by three- exponential equation. The parameters of this equation describe the individual phases of compression, the precompression phase, the phase of elastic deformation and the phase of plastic deformation. Furthermore, the effect of tableting speed on the compressibility of the material was studied using the force-displacement record. Finally, the influence of tableting speed on tensile strength of the prepared tablets was evaluated. Four materials were used for the evaluation. Microcrystalline cellulose Avicel PH-102 and dicalcium phosphate dihydrate DI-CAFOS were used as model fillers. Theophylline and paracetamol were used as model drugs. The course of the compaction process was evaluated at five compaction speeds. The results of this evaluation revealed different behavior of used materials. Furthermore different influence on the compaction process by changing compaction speed was...

Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradci Králové Department of: Department of Pharmaceutical Technology Consultant: Mgr. Pavel Ondrejček, Ph.D. Student: Nikola Marcinková Title of Thesis: The influence of the die size on the compaction process This diploma thesis is focused on exploration the influence of the die size on the compaction process. That was evaluated by parameters of three-exponential equation. Compressibility was studied by using force-displacement record. In this work was also observed an effect of die size on the tensile strength. In processing the experimental part of this work were used four different model materials. Microcrystalline cellulose and dicalcium phosphate are used as model fillers and theophylline and paracetamol as model active substances. Compaction of these materials was carried out in dies of size 7 mm, 9 mm, 11 mm, 13 mm and 15 mm. The results of the work showed that the die size significantly affects all parameters force-displacement record. With the growing size of the die there was a reduction of energy parameters. Most of the compaction parameters were statistically influenced. Increasing die size caused reducing volume reduction and energy consumption and increased speed of volume reduction at the stage of pre- compression and elastic...
