Investigations on the Impacts of Drugs or Excipients with Different Physicochemical and Compaction Properties on the Disintegration Behavior of Kollidon®SR-Based Binary Controlled Release Matrix Tablets.

The objective of this study was to examine the impact of the physicochemical properties of the loaded drug or excipient, the concentration of Kollidon®SR (KSR), and the mechanical characteristics of KSR compacts on their disintegration times. Using disintegration apparatus, a two-hour constraint was chosen as the process's end point. Lactose-KSR compacts subjected to the highest compression pressure and Microcrystalline cellulose-KSR compacts with KSR concentrations exceeding 30% exhibited disintegration times of less than ten minutes.
