The thesis evaluates anhydrous and dihydrate calcium hydrogen phosphate from the view point of the tensile strength, disintegration time of tablets depending on the compression force. Two firm products - Anhydrous Emcompress® and Di-Cafos® A 60 are used as anhydrate and Emcompress® is used as dihydrate. A compression force together with lubricants (magnesium stearate, sodium stearyl fumarate) and an addition of microcrystalline cellulose (Vivapur® 102) are the influential factors. In addition to the characteristics of tablets, the energy balance of compression is also evaluated. Used compression forces were 12, 16 and 20 kN. The compression force 12 kN was used for the mixtures containing Vivapur® 102. Total energy of compression, energy for friction and energy accumulated by tablet after compression increased with compression force. The highest values were at Anhydrous Emcompress® , an addition Vivapur® 102 increased these values. There weren't more significant differences among the values of decompression energy. Plasticity decreased with the growing compression force, the highest values were at Anhydrous Emcompress® , Vivapur® 102 increased that. Tensile strength increased with compression force, Emcompress® provided the strongest tablets, Di-Cafos® A 60 provided at least strong tablets. Vivapur...

The thesis evaluates three types of anhydrous β-lactose combined with lubri- cants. The evaluation is made from the standpoint of compressibilty, tensile strength and ejection force, depending on the compression force used. Studied materials are Duralac H, SuperTab 21AN and Lactopress Anhydrous 250. Lubricants used in the concentration of 1% are magnesium stearate, glycerol-dibehenate and poloxamer 188. Compressibility is evaluated by the energy profile of compression. Total energy of compression increases with compression force used and de- pends on the type of anhydrous β-lactose and type of lubricant. Higher plasticity is shown by Duralac H and SuperTab 21AN. Ejection force is lowest in the case of Duralac H for all lubricants. Magnesium stearate appears to be the best lubricant for all types of anhydrous β-lactose. The effect of lubricants on the tensile strength of tablets depends on the compression force used. Highest values of disintegration time provides SuperTab 21AN, Duralac H with glycerol-dibehenate provides lowest values. 1
