In silico formulation optimization and particle engineering of pharmaceutical products using a generative artificial intelligence structure synthesis method.

Pharmaceutical drug dosage forms are critical for ensuring the effective and safe delivery of active pharmaceutical ingredients to patients. However, traditional formulation development often relies on extensive lab and animal experimentation, which can be time-consuming and costly. This manuscript presents a generative artificial intelligence method that creates digital versions of drug products from images of exemplar products.

A two-phase flow model simulating water penetration into pharmaceutical tablets.

The purpose of the study is introduce a two-phase flow model to simulate water penetration into pharmaceutical tablets. This model was built by integrating Darcy's law with the continuity principle, on the premise that water penetration was driven by capillary actions. Notably, this model concerned both the ingress of water (wetting phase) and simultaneous displacement of air (non-wetting phase).

A Refined Thin-Film Model for Drug Dissolution Considering Radial Diffusion - Simulating Powder Dissolution.

Purpose: We aim to present a refined thin-film model describing the drug particle dissolution considering radial diffusion in spherical boundary layer, and to demonstrate the ability of the model to describe the dissolution behavior of bulk drug powders.

Methods: The dissolution model introduced in this study was refined from a radial diffusion-based model previously published by our laboratory (So et al. in Pharm Res.

Risks of Powder Flow Obstruction in Hopper and Bin Discharge in Solid Dosage Form Manufacture should be Predicted Under The Active Stress State.

Discharge of powder from a hopper or bin is a common operation in solid dosage form manufacture. Powder flow obstruction during hopper/bin discharge, such as arching or ratholing, remains an outstanding risk and cannot be reliably diagnosed using the existing flow function coefficient-based method. In this study, we showed that the major principal stress (σ) at the bin outlet is required for an accurate prediction of powder flow obstruction risks.

Finite Element Analysis of Extrinsic Parameters on the Onset of Tensile Strength in Powders.

Most food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries rely heavily on the supply of free-flowing powders that finds their application in raw materials, additives, and manufactured products. Improper storage conditions combined with environmental factors affect the free-flowing ability of powders. An undesirable transformation of these free-flowing powders into a coherent mass that resists flow is called caking.
