Objective: The essential aim of this article is to develop effective methods for improving the flow properties of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) without requiring particle size or shape modification.
Methods: The 'formulation' approach used here focuses on enhancing flow properties of three chemically different drug powders (micronized acetaminophen, levalbuterol tartrate, and didesmethylsibutramine tartrate) by using small amounts of lubricants, glidants, and other additives, both individually and in combination. Additives are intimately mixed using a laboratory-scale V-blender with an intensifier bar.
