AB  - 1. INTRODUCTION
Co-processing has emerged as a suitable
approach to meet the increasing demands for
excipients with improved tableting
performance. Apart from the most commonly
used energy-consuming co-processing methods
(e.g. spray-drying and wet granulation), melt
granulation as a solvent-free and more
environmentally friendly technique has recently
gained more attention [1].
The aim of the present study was to investigate
the influence of meltable binder particle size
and compaction parameters on dilution capacity
and compaction behaviour of lactose-based coprocessed
excipients.
2. MATERIALS AND METHODS
2.1. Materials
Paracetamol (Acros Organics, Belgium) was
used as the model drug. Lactose monohydrate
(Carlo Erba Reagents, Italy) was used as filler
and glyceryl palmitostearate (Precirol® ATO 5
Gattefossé S.A.S, France) as meltable binder.
2.2. Preparation of co-processed excipients
Co-processed excipients were prepared by in
situ melt granulation in Mycrolab fluid bed
processor (OYSTAR Hüttlin, Germany).
Precirol® particles (15%) from the 125–180 μm
(≈ 150 μm) or 600–710 μm sieve fraction (≈ 655
μm) were used for granulation of lactose (85%).
The inlet air flow rate was 30 m3/h, and product
temperature during agglomeration was 65 °C.
2.3. Particle size and shape analysis
Granule size distribution was evaluated by sieve
analysis, and median particle diameter (d50) was
calculated by linear interpolation of the
cumulative percentage frequency curve.
Granule shape was examined by 2D scanned
image (4800 dpi resolution) analysis using
ImageJ software. The aspect ratio (AR) and
circularity (C) were calculated for granule shape
evaluation.
2.3. Determination of the Carr index
The bulk and tapped (1250 taps) densities of coprocessed
excipients and their mixtures with 30,
40 or 50% paracetamol were determined using
tap density tester STAV 2003 (J. Engelsmann
AG, Germany), and Carr index was calculated.
2.4. Dynamic compaction analysis
Co-processed excipients and their mixtures with
paracetamol were compressed on a single punch
instrumented tablet press (GTP D series,
Gamlen Tableting Ltd, UK). Compacts (100
mg) were compressed under compression load
of 200 kg (≈ 70 MPa) or 500 kg (≈ 173MPa),
and compression speed of 60 or 120 mm/min. 6
mm flat faced punches were used. The obtained
force-displacement curves were used to
calculate: net work of compression (NW),
detachment stress (DS), ejection stress (ES).
Tablet crushing force was determined using
tablet hardness tester Erweka TBH 125D
(Erweka GmbH, Germany), and the values
obtained were used to calculate tensile strength
(TS). Elastic recovery (24 h after compression)
was calculated, as well.
2.4. Experimental Design
In order to investigate the influence of binder
particle size, paracetamol content and
compression speed on the abovementioned
compaction properties, compacts were
prepared, at compression load of 500 kg,
according to 23 full factorial design.
3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
3.1. Particle size and shape
Larger initial binder particle size led to
formation of larger and more spherical granules
(Table 1).

excipients’ particles.

3.2. Flowability
The Carr index values obtained indicated
considerably better flowability of the coprocessed
excipient prepared by using larger
binder particles (P655) in comparison with the
excipient prepared with smaller binder particles
(P150). This might be ascribed to more
spherical and larger particles of P655. However,
the addition of paracetamol led to an increase in
Carr index values and less pronounced
differences between two excipients (Fig. 1).
Figure 1. The influence of paracetamol loading
on flowability of co-processed excipients.
3.3. Compaction behaviour
The results obtained revealed better mechanical
properties of P150 in comparison with P655
compacts, irrespective of the compression
pressure applied. The addition of paracetamol,
as the model API with poor compaction
properties, led to decrease in tensile strength of
the compacts prepared with both excipients, and
paracetamol content showed statistically
significant influence on TS (p < 0.0001).
Acceptable tensile strength (> 1 MPa) could be
achieved for compacts with 30% paracetamol
compressed at higher compression pressure (≈
173 MPa).
Paracetamol content, compression speed and
interaction between binder particle size and
paracetamol content were found to significantly
affect NW. The influence of binder particle size
was more pronounced at higher paracetamol
content, with lower NW observed in the case of
P655. Higher compression speed led to higher
NW.
Relatively low values of detachment and
ejection stress (< 3.5 MPa) indicate good
antiadhesive and lubricating properties of the
investigated excipients. Lower values of both
parameters were observed in the case of P655
which could be related to different
agglomeration mechanisms involved. Besides
binder particle size, compression speed and
paracetamol content were found to significantly
influence these properties.
Elastic recovery values of the investigated
samples ranged between 12 and 28%. In the
case of both excipients, higher elastic recovery
values were obtained at higher compression
pressure. ER values of the compacts prepared at
higher compression pressure were significantly
affected by compression speed and interactions
of the investigated variables.
4. CONCLUSION
The results obtained show that meltable binder
particle size affects granule size and shape, and
consequently may influence flowability and
compaction behaviour of the co-processed
excipients. Interactions between binder particle
size and compaction variables were also found
to affect compaction properties of the
investigated excipients.

AB  - 1. INTRODUCTION
Maintaining good compaction properties of
liquisolid systems (LSS) is particularly
challenging in the case of high-dose drugs [1].
High amount of liquid phase within LSS,
required to dissolve/suspend higher amount of
drug substance, while necessary for
improvement of bioavailability, can cause
difficulties during the tableting process,
resulting in low tablet hardness or even inability
of admixtures to be directly compressed. This
has led to the development of new highly porous
carriers, specifically designed for LSS, that can
adsorb/absorb very high amount of liquid phase.
The aim of this study was to investigate the
compaction properties of LSS, prepared with
three types of novel silica-based mesoporous
carriers, using dynamic compaction analysis as
a tool, with the focus on compressibility,
compactibility and tabletability of these systems
[2].
2. MATERIALS AND METHODS
2.1. Materials
Amorphous magnesium aluminometasilicate
(Neusilin® US2, Fuji Chemical Industry Co,
Ltd., Japan) and two types of amorphous
mesoporous silicon dioxide (Syloid® XDP 3050
and Syloid® XDP 3150, Grace GmbH,
Germany) were used as carriers. Colloidal
silicon dioxide (Aerosil 200, Evonik Industries
AG, Germany) was used as coating material and
polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG 400, Fagron,
Netherlands) was used as liquid phase.
2.2. Liquisolid Admixture Preparation
LS admixtures (Table 1) were prepared using
Mycrolab fluid bed processor (OYSTAR
Hüttlin, Germany), with the operating
temperature of 30°C, inlet air flow rate of 20
m3/h, and liquid feed rate of 12 g/min.

2.3. Powder density
LS admixtures’ true densities were determined
by helium pycnometer (AccuPyc 1330,
Micromeritics, GA) while bulk and tapped
densities were measured using a graduated
cylinder and a volumeter (STAV 2003, J.
Engelsmann AG, Germany).
2.4. Powder morphology
The morphology of LS particles was examined
using a scanning electron microscope (SEM,
Supra 35VP, Carl Zeiss, Germany).
2.5. Dynamic compaction analysis
Dynamic compaction analysis was performed
on an instrumented tablet press (GTP D series,
Gamlen Tableting Ltd, UK). 6 mm flat faced
punches were used at a compaction speed of 60
mm/min, with compression load ranging from
250 to 500 kg, with a 50 kg increment.
3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
3.1. Compressibility of LS admixtures
Regardless of the compaction pressure applied
and differences in liquid load, very high values
of solid fraction were observed in LS compacts
with Neusilin® US2 (0.90-0.94). On the other
hand, LS compacts with both Syloid® XDP
carriers exhibited lower relative density (0.59-
0.89) that was affected by changes in the
applied compaction pressure. Compressibility
profiles suggest that carrier particle size and the
amount of coating material used, had an effect
on relative density. An increase in the amount
of coating material used had a negative impact
on compressibility and lower values of solid
fraction were achieved.
3.2. Compactibility of LS admixtures
Admixtures N1 and N2 could be considered as
having good compactibility [3]. Compacts with
Neusilin® US2 achieved higher tensile strength
values compared to compacts with Syloid®
XDP, even at low compaction pressures.
Particle geometry and shape (Fig. 1) can affect
the way particles interact during tableting and
therefore may affect their mechanical
characteristics. Differences in particle size
could be a reason for lower values of solid
fraction and tensile strength observed in
compacts prepared with Syloid® XDP 3150
compared to compacts with Syloid® XDP 3050
as carrier.
Figure 1. SEM micrographies of LS particles:
admixture N1 (left) and S1 (right)
3.3. Tabletability of LS admixtures
Despite the significantly higher liquid load,
better tabletability was observed in LSS with
Neusilin® US2 as carrier with tensile strength
ranging from 1,68 to 2,55 and 1,61 to 2,11 for
formulations N1 and N2, respectively.
Although relatively similar values of tensile
strength were achieved, tabletability profiles
indicate that there are differences in compaction
behavior between formulations N1 and N2.
Higher values of tensile strength observed at the
same compression pressure indicate better
tabletability of LS admixtures with Syloid®
XDP 3050 compared to those with Syloid®
XDP 3150 as carrier. Interestingly,
formulations with Syloid® XDP 3050 had
higher liquid load which implies that this
formulation factor had lesser influence on
tabletability compared to the properties of the
carrier itself (such as particle size and specific
surface area). The lowest tabletability was
observed in LS admixtures S3 and S4 with
compact tensile strength lower than 1 MPa at all
but highest compaction pressure applied.
4. CONCLUSION
Out of the three investigated carriers, Neusilin®
US2 showed the best compaction properties
despite its high liquid load. LS admixtures with
this carrier exhibited the highest values of
tensile strength and solid fraction at relatively
low compression pressures. Pronounced
differences have been noticed between the two
Syloid carriers, which indicates the effect of
carrier particle size on compaction properties of
LS admixtures.

abstract = "1. INTRODUCTION
Maintaining good compaction properties of
liquisolid systems (LSS) is particularly
challenging in the case of high-dose drugs [1].
High amount of liquid phase within LSS,
required to dissolve/suspend higher amount of
drug substance, while necessary for
improvement of bioavailability, can cause
difficulties during the tableting process,
resulting in low tablet hardness or even inability
of admixtures to be directly compressed. This
has led to the development of new highly porous
carriers, specifically designed for LSS, that can
adsorb/absorb very high amount of liquid phase.
The aim of this study was to investigate the
compaction properties of LSS, prepared with
three types of novel silica-based mesoporous
carriers, using dynamic compaction analysis as
a tool, with the focus on compressibility,
compactibility and tabletability of these systems
[2].
2. MATERIALS AND METHODS
2.1. Materials
Amorphous magnesium aluminometasilicate
(Neusilin® US2, Fuji Chemical Industry Co,
Ltd., Japan) and two types of amorphous
mesoporous silicon dioxide (Syloid® XDP 3050
and Syloid® XDP 3150, Grace GmbH,
Germany) were used as carriers. Colloidal
silicon dioxide (Aerosil 200, Evonik Industries
AG, Germany) was used as coating material and
polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG 400, Fagron,
Netherlands) was used as liquid phase.
2.2. Liquisolid Admixture Preparation
LS admixtures (Table 1) were prepared using
Mycrolab fluid bed processor (OYSTAR
Hüttlin, Germany), with the operating
temperature of 30°C, inlet air flow rate of 20
m3/h, and liquid feed rate of 12 g/min.

2.3. Powder density
LS admixtures’ true densities were determined
by helium pycnometer (AccuPyc 1330,
Micromeritics, GA) while bulk and tapped
densities were measured using a graduated
cylinder and a volumeter (STAV 2003, J.
Engelsmann AG, Germany).
2.4. Powder morphology
The morphology of LS particles was examined
using a scanning electron microscope (SEM,
Supra 35VP, Carl Zeiss, Germany).
2.5. Dynamic compaction analysis
Dynamic compaction analysis was performed
on an instrumented tablet press (GTP D series,
Gamlen Tableting Ltd, UK). 6 mm flat faced
punches were used at a compaction speed of 60
mm/min, with compression load ranging from
250 to 500 kg, with a 50 kg increment.
3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
3.1. Compressibility of LS admixtures
Regardless of the compaction pressure applied
and differences in liquid load, very high values
of solid fraction were observed in LS compacts
with Neusilin® US2 (0.90-0.94). On the other
hand, LS compacts with both Syloid® XDP
carriers exhibited lower relative density (0.59-
0.89) that was affected by changes in the
applied compaction pressure. Compressibility
profiles suggest that carrier particle size and the
amount of coating material used, had an effect
on relative density. An increase in the amount
of coating material used had a negative impact
on compressibility and lower values of solid
fraction were achieved.
3.2. Compactibility of LS admixtures
Admixtures N1 and N2 could be considered as
having good compactibility [3]. Compacts with
Neusilin® US2 achieved higher tensile strength
values compared to compacts with Syloid®
XDP, even at low compaction pressures.
Particle geometry and shape (Fig. 1) can affect
the way particles interact during tableting and
therefore may affect their mechanical
characteristics. Differences in particle size
could be a reason for lower values of solid
fraction and tensile strength observed in
compacts prepared with Syloid® XDP 3150
compared to compacts with Syloid® XDP 3050
as carrier.

admixture N1 (left) and S1 (right)
3.3. Tabletability of LS admixtures
Despite the significantly higher liquid load,
better tabletability was observed in LSS with
Neusilin® US2 as carrier with tensile strength
ranging from 1,68 to 2,55 and 1,61 to 2,11 for
formulations N1 and N2, respectively.
Although relatively similar values of tensile
strength were achieved, tabletability profiles
indicate that there are differences in compaction
behavior between formulations N1 and N2.
Higher values of tensile strength observed at the
same compression pressure indicate better
tabletability of LS admixtures with Syloid®
XDP 3050 compared to those with Syloid®
XDP 3150 as carrier. Interestingly,
formulations with Syloid® XDP 3050 had
higher liquid load which implies that this
formulation factor had lesser influence on
tabletability compared to the properties of the
carrier itself (such as particle size and specific
surface area). The lowest tabletability was
observed in LS admixtures S3 and S4 with
compact tensile strength lower than 1 MPa at all
but highest compaction pressure applied.
4. CONCLUSION
Out of the three investigated carriers, Neusilin®
US2 showed the best compaction properties
despite its high liquid load. LS admixtures with
this carrier exhibited the highest values of
tensile strength and solid fraction at relatively
low compression pressures. Pronounced
differences have been noticed between the two

carrier particle size on compaction properties of
LS admixtures.",

AB  - 1. INTRODUCTION
Selective laser sintering (SLS) represents novel 3D printing technology recently introduced in drug fabrication. It is applicable in different dosage forms preparation, including multiparticulate units (MPUs) (1). The characteristics of the obtained MPUs remain to be described, particularly their compression behaviour and mechanical properties of the obtained compacts. The aim of this work was to investigate compaction suitability of MPUs prepared by SLS printing and investigate the effect of model drug type, polymer type and MPU size as well as compression pressure on the compression related parameters (detachment and ejection stress, nett work of compression) and the obtained compacts characteristics (out-of-die elastic recovery, solid fraction and tensile strength).
2. MATERIALS AND METHODS
2.1. Materials
The MPUs were prepared using either ethyl cellulose (EC, Ethocel, Fluka, Switzerland) or methacrylic acid-ethyl acrylate copolymer (1:1) (MA-EA, Eudragit L 100-55, Evonik, Germany) as polymer forming matrices. Ibuprofen (IBU) and caffeine (CAF) were used as model drugs and Candurin® Gold Sheen (CGS, Merck KGaA, Germany) was added as pharmaceutical grade colorant.
2.2. Multiparticulate units preparation
Spherical 3D models were designed and imported as print job file (.stec) to desktop SLS printer Sintratec Kit (Sintratec AG, Switzerland). Samples composition is presented in Table 1 (C-samples contain CAF, while I samples contain IBU).
2.3. Multiparticulate units compression
MPU compacts (100 mg) were prepared on an instrumented tablet press GTP series D (Gamlen Tableting Ltd, UK) in the single compression mode, under the compression loads of 250 and 500 kg, using 6 mm diameter flat punch, at the compaction speed 30 mm/min. The supporting software enabled complete visualization of the upper punch position and force in real time. The measured forcedisplacement curves were used to calculate net work of compression, friction force between lower punch and tablet during detachment phase (detachment stress) and friction force between die and tablet in the ejection phase (ejection stress). Compact dimensions were determined 24 hours after compression. Caliper was used to measure the out-of-die compact thickness (t), while compact diameter (R) and hardness (F) were measured using the hardness tester Erweka TBH 125D (Erweka GmbH, Germany). The obtained values were used to calculate compact tensile strength, solid fraction and out-of-die elastic recovery. In order to statistically investigate the input parameter effects (polymer type, model drug type and MPU size), experimental design was applied, using software Design-Expert v.7.0 (Stat-Ease Inc, USA).
3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
3.1. Multiparticulate units compression
The prepared compact tensile strength was generally higher than 1 MPa and acceptable (2), as represented in Fig. 1, while solid fraction ranged from 67.67 (C4) to 89.46% (C1 and I1). MPUs containing CAF and MPUs with MA-EA exhibited higher increase in solid fraction and tensile strength when compression load was increased, in comparison to samples prepared with IBU or EC, respectively. This indicates better tabletability and compressibility. MPU samples with MA-EA or 1 mm size exhibited higher nett work of compression, but also higher values of elastic recovery. Higher energy input corresponds to higher compressibility and susceptibility to particle consolidation. Ejection stress values did not exceed 3 MPa, which is associated with compact defect propensity (3), while detachment stress was lower than 4 MPa. This indicates that the prepared samples do not stick to punch and die and may be easily detached. All of the investigated factors (model drug type, polymer type, MPU size and compression pressure), as well as model drug-polymer type and model drug-compression pressure interaction significantly affected compact tensile strength (p<0.0001). In the case of MPUs containing CAF as model drug and EC as polymer, higher compression pressure increased tensile strength more notably. In the case of detachment stress, model drug type, polymer type and compression pressure were found as relevant factors (p=0.0013), while ejection stress was affected by polymer type, compression pressure and their interaction (p=0.0097). Elastic recovery was impacted by all the investigated parameters, as well as model drug type-polymer type and model drug type compression pressure interaction (p<0.0001). Higher compression pressure increased the elastic recovery values more notably in the case of IBU or EC samples. Model drug type, polymer type and compression pressure affected nett work (p<0.001), as well as model drug-compression pressure and polymer typecompression pressure interaction. Based on the investigated MPU samples, software-aided prediction recognized IBU, MA-EA and 1 mm-MPUs size as desirable for obtaining compacts with high tensile strength, but also low elastic recovery, low detachment and ejection stress and high nett work values.
4. CONCLUSION
The multiparticulate units were successfully compressed into compacts with good tensile strength values (higher than 1 MPa, generally), low detachment and ejection stress (lower than 3 and 4 MPa, respectively). MPUs containing CAF and MPUs with MA-EA exhibited higher tabletability and compressibility in comparison to samples prepared with IBU or EC, respectively. Polymer type and compression pressure affected all the investigated compact characteristics (tensile strength, detachment and ejection stress, out-of-die elastic recovery and nett work of compression), while MPU size impact on the observed parameters was the lowest. MPUs containing IBU and MA-EA, with 1 mm size were recognized as preferable for obtaining compacts with favourable characteristics.

AB  - 1. INTRODUCTION
Orodispersible films (ODF) have emerged as innovative dosage forms that provide wide variety of advantages for patients and manufacturers over conventional dosage forms. The prominent characteristic of ODFs is fast disintegration followed by good patients acceptability [1]. Therefore, relevant disintegration time (DT) is usually considered as ODF critical quality attribute. Extensive research on ODFs is generating a lot of data, but lack of standardization is the main obstacle that limits their comparative evaluation. The following work aims to explore literature data on ODFs characteristics using the predictive data-classification algorithm Support vector machine (SVM) and assess its applicability in pharmaceutical development based on the set of experimentally obtained data.
2. MATERIALS AND METHODS
2.1. Materials
Hydroxypropyl cellulose (Klucel GF, Ashland, USA), ethanol (≥99.8%, Honeywell, Charlotte, NC, USA) and glycerol, 85% (w/w) (Ph. Eur.) were used for preparation of printing and casting dispersion.
2.2. Data pre-processing
Comprehensive data exploration has been conducted in the PubMed database using most common synonyms for ODFs with fifteen synonyms in singular and plural. Built database had following attributes: manufacturing approach, polymer selection, polymer molecular weight (KDa), polymer load (%), mechanical properties (tensile strength (MPa), Young's modulus (MPa), elongation at break (%)), disintegration method and disintegration time (DT) (s).
2.3. ODF preparation and characterisation
Polymer dispersions for solvent casting and semi-solid extrusion 3D printing were prepared by dispersing HPC in ethanol:glicerol solution followed by continuous stirring on the magnetic stirrer. Prepared dispersions were: (i) casted on a unit-dose plexiglas plates, or (ii) printed using Ultimaker 2+ (Ultimaker, , Netherlands). ODFs were characterized in terms of mechanical properties using Z-LX Table-Top Testing Machine (Shimadzu, Japan) and DT using adapted compendial tester (Erweka ZT52, Germany) with a weight.
3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
3.1. Data pre-processing
274 papers (without reviews) were identified via search, of which 112 were included in the database. Nominal data from literature was transformed into numerical, using coding operator so that each nominal data had corresponding numerical value. Critical attributes for films fast disintegration were derived. 18 polymers were included as categorical data and were further differentiated on the basis of molecular weight. Values for most commonly evaluated mechanical properties were included as numerical data. Different DT methods were classified in seven classes (Table 1), while the manufacturing methods were classified in five classes. RapidMiner Studio 9.10 (RapidMiner, Dortmund, Germany) was used to transform data and employ SMV algorithm.
3.2. SVM model prediction
Attributes with the highest weight were polymer load and DT method employed (Figure 1). The polymer type and characteristic did have conclusive effects on DT as their weight varied during data mining. This can be attributed to inconclusive data provided in papers and lot of missing values for those attributes. Mechanical properties had low weight, which can be explained with the broad value range for those attributes. Different research groups had different approach to disintegration testing, which lowered model precision as it was reported that SVM does not have high accuracy when data is imbalanced [3]. Relative error value was 20%, which can be considered as high, but, having in mind great diversity in presented data and methodology, obtained value is still acceptable for the pilot study.
3.3. Experimental validation
HPC-based films prepared by 3D printing had tensile strength, elongation at break and Young’s modulus of 3.5 MPa, 137% and 5 MPa, respectively. Average DT was 69 s. For casted films, relevant values were 3.4 MPa, 105% and 3 MPa, and DT was 27 s. Experimentally obtained results were entered into model simulator (Figure 2) to simulate situation reflecting the experimental set up in which HPC-based films were prepared by 3D printing and solvent casting, and relevant attribute values obtained by samples characterization. In the case were manufacturing method was set to be 3D printing (coded as 1) predicted DT value was close to experimentally obtained value, i.e. 71.7 and 69 s, respectively. When solvent casting method was considered, predicted DT value was remarkedly higher than the experimentally obtained one, indicating bad predictability. It might be assumed that good predictability obtained in the case of 3D printed films is associated with lower data variability due to more simple sample composition and robust preparation method. In the case of casted films, data was much more complex due to a higher number of research papers and approaches to characterisation.
4. CONCLUSION
The obtained results indicate that SVM algorithm can be employed to predict ODF DT value based on the dataset created using literature data. However, in order to obtain meaningful predictions, larger dataset, with fewer inconsistences and less missing values would be advantageous.

Experimentally obtained results were entered into model simulator (Figure 2) to simulate situation reflecting the experimental set up in which HPC-based films were prepared by 3D printing and solvent casting, and relevant attribute values obtained by samples characterization. In the case were manufacturing method was set to be 3D printing (coded as 1) predicted DT value was close to experimentally obtained value, i.e. 71.7 and 69 s, respectively. When solvent casting method was considered, predicted DT value was remarkedly higher than the experimentally obtained one, indicating bad predictability. It might be assumed that good predictability obtained in the case of 3D printed films is associated with lower data variability due to more simple sample composition and robust preparation method. In the case of casted films, data was much more complex due to a higher number of research papers and approaches to characterisation.
4. CONCLUSION
The obtained results indicate that SVM algorithm can be employed to predict ODF DT value based on the dataset created using literature data. However, in order to obtain meaningful predictions, larger dataset, with fewer inconsistences and less missing values would be advantageous.",

AB  - Introduction: Synchronous lectures tend to be used as the
prevalent method of online instruction, irrespective of
notable differences and obvious limitations when compared
to their in-person delivery. Study aim was to assess students’
perspective on online lectures held during the emergency
remote teaching (ERT) shift due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Method: Students were invited to take part in online survey
related to their experience with ERT. Survey included 25 items
related to: satisfaction (14 items), motivation (three items),
interaction with peers and lecturers (four items), and
perceived challenges (four items). A 5-point Likert scale was
employed. Statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS
software.
Results: A total of 387 students participated in the survey.
The majority of respondents (79.3%) were junior students.
Among the respondents, 72.6% reported no previous
experience with online learning. Although a relatively high
level of satisfaction was reported (mean score 3.91 ± 0.75),
challenges were also scored relatively high (3.05 ± 0.99),
while interaction was scored somewhat lower (2.98 ± 0.73),
and the lowest mean score was observed for motivation (2.73
± 0.58). Students reported having trouble maintaining
motivation, concentration and focus during online lectures,
which usually took many hours per day. Interaction with
peers was reported as unsatisfactory (2.48 ± 1.46), whereas it
was more feasible with lecturers (3.24 ± 1.42). Students were
quite satisfied with the ability to organise their time flexibly
(71.4%), and with the workload (54.5%), while they were less
convinced that online sessions provided enough
opportunities to reflect on what was learnt (50.1% agree,
25.1% neither agree nor disagree).
Conclusions: The results obtained indicate that students are
somewhat hesitant with respect to online lectures as the
main mode of instruction. Lectures, generally, place students
in a passive role, which is further increased in online delivery.
In order to support students’ engagement and success, online
lectures should be combined with more active instructional
strategies.

AB  - Background/Aim. Health professions education is facing
emerging issues. A comprehensive situation analysis was
performed among academic staff, healthcare practitioners,
and healthcare science students to address and respond to
new trends. The aim of the study was to investigate the
attitude, perception, and the recognized needs towards
experiential education (EE), interprofessional education
(IPE), and teaching competencies development (TCD). The
critical evaluation of the existing quality standards for
further quality improvement in health professions education
in Serbia was provided. Methods. The survey on EE, IPE,
and TCD was conducted within the Reinforcement of the
Framework for Experiential Education in Serbia
(ReFEEHS) project, co-funded by the Erasmus+ program
of the European Comission at four Serbian universities (the
University of Belgrade, the University of Kragujevac, the
University of Niš, and the University of Novi Sad). Four
task groups were appointed to perform a desk review of the
existing curricula, recommendations, and practices within
each of the four health professions education (Medicine,
Pharmacy, Dentistry, and Nursing) in Serbia and assess the
level of compliance with relevant educational policies and
practices in the European Union . Results. A total of 1,507
respondents completed the survey. A highly expressed
positive attitude was found towards EE, IPE, and TCD
among all the respondents. The majority of the respondents 
(> 70%) shared that EE should be organized in real-life
practice and involve students’ work under the supervision
of a qualified supervisor, as well as interactions with patients
and healthcare professionals. About 90% of the
respondents supported the inclusion of IPE teaching
activities into EE, with 77% of students expressing high
motivation to attend those classes, whereas 93% of
academic staff was eager to deliver and teach joint IPE
subjects. Only 20% of academic staff has already attended
some TCD program, while 75% recognized the need for its
organization. Moreover, 90% of healthcare practitioners
have recognized that mentors/clinical supervisors also need
additional skills for effective mentoring work within health
science education. Based on the survey results,
recommendations for improvement were given within three
educational fields, healthcare science curricula, professional
practice (traineeship), teaching staff, and regulations.
Conclusion. The results derived from the survey served as
a starting but also a vital point for higher education
improvement in Serbia. All interested parties – academia,
students, healthcare professionals, and regulatory bodies
should collaborate on achieving improved, contemporary,
and transformative health professions education.

Da bi se odgovorilo na savremene zahteve obrazovanja zdravstvenih radnika, sprovedena je sveobuhvatna situaciona analiza. Cilj istraživanja bio je da se istraže stavovi, percepcije i prepoznaju potrebe akademske zajednice, zdravstvenih radnika i studenata zdravstvenih profesija, u odnosu prema učenju u realnom radnom okruženju, tj. nastavi u praksi (experiential education - EE), interprofesionalnom obrazovanju (interprofessional education - IPE) i unapređenju nastavničkih kompetencija (teaching competencies development - TCD). Radi daljeg unapređenja u oblasti obrazovanja, za zdravstvene radnike u Srbiji obezbeđeno je kritičko vrednovanje postojećih standarda kvaliteta. Metode. Istraživanje je sprovedeno u okviru projekta Reinforcement of the Framework for Experiential Education in Serbia (ReFEEHS), ko-finansiranog od strane Erasmus+ programa Evropske komisije na četiri univerziteta u Republici Srbiji (Univerzitet u Beogradu, Univerzitet u Kragujevcu, Univerzitet u Nišu i Univerzitet u Novom Sadu). Određene su četiri radne grupe, sa zadatkom razmatranja trenutnih kurikuluma, preporuka i prakse u okviru svake zdravstvene profesije (medicina, farmacija, stomatologija, sestrinstvo), kao i procene njihove usklađenosti sa relevantnim preporukama i praksom u obrazovanju u Evropskoj uniji. Rezultati. U istraživanju je učestvovalo 1 507 ispitanika. Pozitivan stav prema EE, IPE i TCD zabeležen je među svim ispitanicima. Više od 70% ispitanika iskazalo je stav o tome da je potrebno organizovati EE, tj. nastavu u praksi u realnom radnom okruženju, što bi podrazumevalo stručni rad studenata pod nadzorom kompetentnog mentora, ali i interakciju sa bolesnicima, kao i interakciju sa zdravstvenim radnicima. Oko 90% ispitanika podržalo je uključivanje IPE nastavnih aktivnosti u kurikulume; 77% studenata izrazilo je motivisanost da prisustvuju zajedničkim predmetima, dok je čak 93% nastavnika i saradnika iskazalo volju da učestvuju u kreiranju i podučavanju nastavnih jedinica u okviru IPE. Prethodno je samo 20% nastavnika/saradnika pohađalo neki TCD program, dok je čak 75% prepoznalo potrebu za organizacijom tih programa; 90% zdravstvenih radnika smatralo je da su za efikasan mentorski rad u obrazovanju u oblasti zdravstvene nauke potrebne dodatne veštine mentora/kliničkih supervizora. Na osnovu sagledanih rezultata upitnika, date su preporuke za unapređenje visokog obrazovanja u okviru tri obrazovne oblasti budućih zdravstvenih radnika, koje se odnose na kurikulum, studentsku stručnu praksu/klinički staž, nastavno osoblje i regulatorne aspekte.

AB  - Tablet disintegration in gastrointestinal fluids and the resulting increase in surface
area available for drug dissolution is one of the preconditions for achieving acceptable
bioavailability (1). Disintegrant addition shortens the disintegration time, but it can also
affect flowability and mechanical properties of liquisolid systems (2). The aim of this study
was to examine the influence of superdisintegrant type and concentration on flowability,
tensile strength and disintegration time of liquisolid systems prepared using three different
carriers.
The admixtures were prepared in a fluid bed processor. Syloid ® XDP3050, Neusilin®
US2 and Fujicalin ® were used as carriers, with liquid phase (macrogol 400) content of
40.4%, 54.8% and 14.8%, respectively, and carrier to coating material (colloidal silicon
dioxide) ratio R=30. Superdisintegrant (croscarmellose sodium, crospovidone, sodium starch
glycolate) concentration ranged from 2 to 5%. Admixtures’ flowability and compacts’ tensile
strength and disintegration time were determined. Admixtures with Fujicalin® showed the
best flowability. Superdisintegrant addition decreased flowability, except for Syloid®
XDP3050 admixtures where flowability improved with increase in disintegrant
concentration. Sodium starch glycolate had the most pronounced influence on the compact
tensile strength. Regardless of the carrier used, the increase in its concentration led to
decrease in tensile strength. Notable differences in the disintegration time were observed,
depending on the type of carrier and superdisintegrant. Compacts with Fujicalin®
disintegrated within the required time without the superdisintegrant addition. The shortest
disintegration time, for compacts with Syloid ® XDP3050 and Neusilin® US2, as well as the
highest tensile strength, for compacts with Syloid ® XDP3050, were achieved with
croscarmellose sodium.
AB  - Raspadanje tablete u kontaktu sa gastrointestinalnim tečnostima i posledično
povećanje površine dostupne za rastvaranje lekovite supstance jedan je od preduslova za
postizanje željene biološke raspoloživosti (1). Dodatak dezintegratora u tečno-čvrste
formulacije skraćuje vreme raspadanja, ali može uticati na protočna i mehanička svojstva
pripremljenih smeša, odnosno tableta (2). Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati uticaj vrste i
koncentracije tri tipa superdezintegratora na protočnost, zateznu čvrstinu i raspadljivost
tečno-čvrstih sistema pripremljenih upotrebom tri različita nosača. Smeše su pripremljene u
uređaju tipa fluidizirajućeg sistema. Syloid ® XDP3050, Neusilin® US2 i Fujicalin® su korišćeni
kao nosači, uz udeo tečne faze (makrogol 400) od 40,4%, 54,8% i 14,8%, redom, pri odnosu
nosača i sredstva za oblaganje (koloidni silicijum-dioksid) R=30. Udeo superdezintegratora
(kroskarmeloza-natrijum, krospovidon, natrijum-skrobglikolat) variran je u opsegu 2-5%.
Ispitana je protočnost, a nakon komprimovanja na ekscentar tablet mašini, kompaktima
određene zatezna čvrstina i raspadljivost. Najbolja protočnost primećena je kod smeša sa
Fujicalin®‐om. Dodatak superdezintegratora je snižavao protočnost, osim kod smeša sa
Syloid ® XDP3050 gde se povećanjem koncentracije superdezintegratora protočnost
poboljšavala. Najizraženiji uticaj na zateznu čvrstinu kompakata, bez obzira na vrstu nosača,
pokazao je natrijum-skrobglikolat. Povećanje udela ovog superdezintegratora dovelo je do
sniženja zatezne čvrstine kod ispitivanih kompakata. Uočene su znatne razlike u vremenu
raspadanja kompakata u zavisnosti od vrste nosača i superdezintegratora, a kompakti sa
Fujicalin®‐om su se raspadali za predviđeno vreme i bez dodatka superdezintegratora.
Kroskarmeloza-natrijum je superdezintegrator sa kojim je postignuto najkraće vreme
raspadanja tečno-čvrstih kompakata sa nosačima Syloid ® XDP3050 i Neusilin® US2, kao i
najveća zatezna čvrstina za kompakte sa Syloid ® XDP3050.

AB  - An understanding of material properties and processing effects on solid dosage forms
performance is required within the Quality-by-design approach to pharmaceutical development.
Several research groups have developed mathematical approaches aiming to facilitate the
selection of formulation composition and the manufacturing technology. These approaches are
based on material particulate, bulk and compression-related properties. This paper provides
theoretical assumptions and a critical review of different mathematical approaches for
processability characterization of powders and multiparticulate units.
Mathematical approaches have mainly been developed for directly compressible materials,
but sometimes other manufacturing technologies, such as roller compaction and wet granulation,
are also considered. The obtained compact tensile strength has been implemented in the majority
of approaches, as an important characteristic describing compact mechanical properties.
Flowability should be also evaluated, since it affects sample processability. Additionally, particle
size and shape, material density and compressibility, compactibility and tabletability profiles have
been also distinguished as relevant properties for solid dosage form development.
The application of mathematical approaches may contribute to the mechanistic
understanding of critical material attributes and facilitate dosage form development and
optimization. However, it is essential to select the appropriate one, based on the intended dosage
form characteristics, in order to ensure that all relevant powder/multiparticulate units
characteristics are implemented and critically evaluated.
AB  - Poznavanje uticaja svojstava materijala i procesnih parametara na karakteristike čvrstih farmaceutskih oblika predstavlja osnovu Quality-by-design pristupa razvoju lekova. Kako bi bio olakšan razvoj formulacije i izbor proizvodne tehnologije, više istraživačkih grupa opisalo je matematičke pristupe, koji se zasnivaju na čestičnim karakteristikama čestica, osobinama praška i ponašanju materijala pri kompresiji. U ovom radu prikazana su teorijska razmatranja i kritički pregled matematičkih pristupa razvijenih za karakterizaciju praškova i višečestičnih sistema. Ovi matematički pristupi su, generalno, razvijeni za karakterizaciju materijala pogodnih za direktnu kompresiju. Međutim, u nekim slučajevima se razmatraju i druge tehnologije, kao što su suva i vlažna granulacija. Među opisanim karakteristikama materijala, zatezna čvrstina se izdvaja kao jedna od najznačajnijih za procenu mehaničkih svojstava kompakta. Potrebno je ispitati i protočnost materijala. Takođe, veličina i oblik čestica, gustina materijala i profili koji opisuju kompresibilnost, kompaktibilnost i tabletabilnost materijala prepoznati su kao karakteristike koje značajno utiču na razvoj čvrstih farmaceutskih oblika.

Međutim, ključno je odabrati odgovarajući pristup, zavisno od željenih karakteristika finalnog preparata, kako bi sva kritična svojstva materijala bila ispitana i kritički razmotrena.

AB  - Liquisolid systems are a novel, promising platform for the production of solid dosage forms
with a high liquid content, i.e. dispersion of the drug in a suitable, hydrophilic, non-volatile liquid
vehicle or liquid drug. This technology requires conventional, but highly porous excipients
(carrier and coating material in the appropriate ratio) able to absorb/adsorb liquid medication,
resulting in both good flowability and acceptable compression properties. This approach has
shown great potential to improve the dissolution rate and bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs,
and has been recognized as a good alternative to common, more complex and expensive
techniques. A variety of applications of this simple technique have been investigated recently,
including the preparation of: modified release tablets, orally disintegrating tablets, solid dosage
forms with liquid herbal extracts, etc. This emerging technology has numerous advantages, and
the most important are: simplicity, cost-effectiveness, applicability in large scale production and
environmental friendliness. However, it is accompanied by certain challenges as well, such as
limited applicability in the case of highly dosed drugs. This article aims to give a comprehensive
overview of recent progress regarding the potential applications of this technology, as well as to
give an insight into the new liquisolid-based techniques intending to further support its
commercial applicability.

Ovaj pristup je pokazao značajan potencijal da poboljša brzinu rastvaranja i bioraspoloživost slabo rastvorljivih lekovitih supstanci, a prepoznat je kao dobra alternativa uobičajeno primenjivanim, znatno složenijim i skupljim tehnikama. Pored toga, nedavno su istraživane brojne mogućnosti za primenu ove jednostavne tehnike, uključujući izradu: tableta sa modifikovanim oslobađanjem lekovite supstance, oralno disperzibilnih tableta, čvrstih farmaceutskih oblika sa tečnim biljnim ekstraktima, itd. Ova nova tehnologija pruža brojne prednosti, među kojima su najvažnije njena jednostavnost, ekonomičnost, primenljivost u industrijskoj proizvodnji i ekološka prihvatljivost. Međutim, prate je i izvesni izazovi, kao što je ograničena primenljivost u slučaju visoko doziranih lekovitih supstanci.

AB  - 3D printing in dosage forms fabrication is in the focus of researchers, however, the attempts in multiparticulate units (MPUs) preparation are scarce. The aim of this study was to fabricate different size MPUs by selective laser sintering (SLS), using different polymers, and investigate their processability based on the SeDeM Expert System approach. MPUs (1- or 2-mm size) were prepared with model drug (ibuprofen or caffeine), polymer (poly(ethylene)oxide (PEO), ethyl cellulose (EC) or methacrylic acid-ethyl acrylate copolymer (MA-EA)) and printing aid. Comprehensive sample characterization was performed and experimentally obtained parameters were mathematically transformed and evaluated using the SeDeM Expert System framework. The obtained samples exhibited irregular shape, despite the spherical printing object design. Polymer incorporated notably affected MPUs properties. The obtained samples exhibited low bulk density, good flowability-, as well as stability-related parameters, which indicated their suitability for filling into capsules or sachets. Low density values implied that compressibility enhancing excipients may be required for MPUs incorporation in tablets. Samples containing EC and MA-EA were found suitable for compression, due to high compacts tensile strength. The obtained results indicate that SeDeM Expert System may extended from powder compressibility evaluation tool to framework facilitating powders/multiparticulate units processing.

AB  - Liquisolid systems represent an emerging approach in the preparation of solid dosage forms with liquid lipophilic drug or poorly water-soluble drug solution/suspension in suitable liquid vehicle. This study addresses the lack of data regarding the compaction behavior of liquisolid systems, with the aim to investigate the influence of liquid load, carrier to coating ratio, carrier type (microcrystalline cellulose vs. spray dried calcium hydrogen phosphate, anhydrous (Fujicalin ® )) on flowability and compaction properties of liquisolid systems and to determine the optimum liquid loads. Liquisolid admixtures with Fujicalin® showed notably better flowability than those with microcrystalline cellulose. An increase in carrier to coating ratio led to enhanced flowability of the admixtures. Compacts with Fujicalin® had good mechanical properties up to 24.7% liquid, while those with microcrystalline cellulose had acceptable mechanical strength up to 16.2% liquid. Liquisolid systems with Fujicalin® showed similar tabletability profiles as those with microcrystalline cellulose, despite having higher liquid content. The ejection stress values indicated that the addition of lubricant might be needed in the case of liquisolid systems with Fujicalin ® . Superior properties of Fujicalin ® as a carrier for liquisolid tablets were revealed, and dynamic compaction analysis was found to be a valuable tool for the assessment of compaction behavior of liquisolid systems.

Imajući u vidu nedostatak literaturnih podataka o ponašanju tečno-čvrstih sistema pri kompresiji, cilj ovog istraživanja je ispitivanje uticaja opterećenja tečnošću, odnosa nosača i sredstva za oblaganje, kao i vrste nosača (mikrokristalna celuloza i bezvodni kalcijum-hidrogenfosfat sušen raspršivanjem (Fujicalin ® )) na protočnost i svojstva tečno-čvrstih sistema pri kompresiji, kao i određivanje optimalnog opterećenja tečnošću. Tečno- čvrste smeše sa Fujicalin ® -om su pokazale znatno bolju protočnost nego smeše sa mikrokristalnom celulozom. Uočeno je da se sa povećanjem odnosa nosača i sredstva za oblaganje poboljšava protočnost smeša. Kompakti sa Fujicalin ® -om su imali dobra mehanička svojstva do udela od 24,7% tečnosti, a kompakti sa mikrokristalnom celulozom do udela od 16,2% tečnosti. Tečno-čvrsti sistemi sa Fujicalin ® -om su pokazali slične profile tabletabilnosti onim sa mikrokristalnom celulozom, uprkos tome što sadrže znatno veći udeo tečnosti. Vrednosti pritiska potrebnog za izbacivanje kompakta iz matrice ukazuju da bi dodatak lubrikansa mogao biti potreban u slučaju tečno-čvrstih sistema sa Fujicalin ® -om. Dobijeni rezultati ukazuju na superiorna svojstva Fujicalin ® -a kao nosača u tečno-čvrstim tabletama, a dinamička analiza kompakcije može predstavljati koristan alat za procenu ponašanja tečno-čvrstih sistema pri kompresiji.

AB  - The introduction of the high-speed tableting machines and the lack of excipients with good flow and compaction properties required for direct compression process have increased research interest in the development of coprocessed excipients. Melt granulation, as an environmentally friendly and cost-effective method, has recently been recognized as a promising co-processing technique. The aim of the present study was to prepare lipid-based co-processed excipients by in situ fluidized bed melt granulation and to investigated their suitability for direct compression process. Lactose monohydrate was co-processed with glyceryl dibehenate (Compritol® 888 ATO) or glyceryl palmitostearate (Precirol® ATO 5), as lipophilic meltable binders. Besides the flowability testing, dynamic compaction analysis was applied for thorough investigation into the tableting properties of developed coprocessed excipients. Solid state characterization, performed by means of XRPD and DRIFT, confirmed the absence of chemical changes of the single components of co-processed excipients. Co-processed excipients showed improved flowability in comparison with single ingredients and corresponding physical mixtures. Novel co-processed excipients were found to have better tabletability profiles than physical mixtures of the ingredients, and were able to retain acceptable tensile strength values at high content of paracetamol in tableting mixture. Tablets with high tensile strength could be obtained with less work of compression needed in comparison with the commercial lactose-based excipients. Furthermore, novel lipid-based co-processed excipients were found to be highly superior regarding the antiadhesive and lubricating properties, with no additional lubricants required.

AB  - Thin films are relatively new drug forms, which contain one or more active
substances, dispersed or adsorbed on a polymeric carrier (1). The aim of this work was to
evaluate the effects of the preparation and formulation factors on film critical quality
attributes. Films were prepared by solvent-casting and 3D printing of dispersion on a
Ultimaker 2+. Dispersion consisted of hydroxypropylcellulose with or without the addition
of sodium-alginate. Caffeine and ibuprofen were used as model drugs. The films were
characterized in terms of mass, thickness, moisture content (LJ16-Moisture Analizer) and
mechanical characteristics (EZ-LKS-Table-TopMachine). Obtained results indicate that 3D
films had higher mass and thickness compared to casted films, except for
hydroxypropylcellulose/sodium alginate/caffeine sample (37.6 and 59.0 mg/cm2 ; 526 and
642 μm). High content of dispersed substances can cause a change in polymer drying
behavior, which is reflected in film characteristics. Dissolving ibuprofen in the initial
dispersion, led to film increased elasticity and decreased tensile strength, negatively
affecting handling and stickiness of the films prepared by either method. Differences
between methods were most pronounced in films with dispersed caffeine or sodium-
alginate. Sodium-alginate generally decreased, and caffeine increased flexibility. The
preparation process did not affect the moisture content in samples, although the polymer
drying differed between two preparation methods. Increased moisture content was
generally accompanied by decreased flexibility, except for samples with ibuprofen. Obtained
results indicate significant effects of the formulation process and composition on the film
characteristics. Dissolved or dispersed substance content in formulation should be adapted
to the chosen preparation method.
AB  - Tanki oralni filmovi predstavljaju noviji farmaceutski oblik leka, koji sadrži jednu ili
više aktivnih supstanci dispergovanih ili adsorbovanih na polimernom nosaču (1). Cilj ovog
rada bio je ispitivanje uticaja postupka izrade i faktora formulacije na kritična svojstva
kvaliteta filmova. Filmovi su izrađivani izlivanjem disperzije u kalupe ili metodom 3D štampe
(Ultimaker 2+). Disperzija se sastojala od hidroksipropilceluloze, sa ili bez dodatka natrijum-
alginata. Model aktivne supstance bile su kofein i ibuprofen. Karakterizacija filmova
obuhvatila je određivanje mase, debljine, udela vlage (LJ16-MoistureAnalyzer) i mehaničkih
karakteristika (EZ-LX-Table-TopMachine). Dobijeni rezultati su pokazali da su 3D štampani
filmovi imali veću masu i debljinu u odnosu na izlivene filmove, osim u slučaju uzorka
hidroksipropilceluloza/natrijum-alginat/kofein (37,6 i 59,0 mg/cm 2; 526 i 642 μm). Visok
udeo dispergovanih supstanci u uzorku može uzrokovati promenu u ponašanju polimera
prilikom sušenja što se odražava na karakteristike filmova. Rastvaranje ibuprofena dovelo je
do povećanja elastičnosti i smanjenja zatezne čvrstine filmova u slučaju oba postupka izrade,
što je imalo negativan efekat na lakoću rukovanja i lepljivost. Postupak izrade imao je najveći
uticaj na karakteristike filmova sa natrijum-alginatom i filmova koji su sadržali kofein.
Natrijum-alginat je generalno smanjivao, a kofein povećavao fleksibilnost filmova. Postupak
izrade nije imao uticaj na udeo vlage, iako je sušenje filmova bilo značajno različito kod ova
dva postupka. Povećanje udela vlage uglavnom je pratilo smanjenje fleksibilnosti filmova,
osim kod uzoraka sa ibuprofenom. Dobijeni rezultati ukazuju na značajan uticaj postupka
izrade i sastava formulacije na karakteristike tankih filmova. Udeo rastvorenih ili
dispergovanih supstanci u formulaciji moraju biti prilagođeni odabranom postupku izrade.

AB  - The estimated prevalence of swallowing problems and dysphagia is 22%, particularly
among pediatric and geriatric population. The drug administration for these individuals is
challenging and efforts are being made to enhance solid dosage forms swallowing. The aim of
this work was to characterize inulin-based puddings as potential vehicula for solid dosage
forms administration. Three marketed instant puddings were prepared according to
instructions provided by the manufacturer (mixing with the appropriate amount of cold
milk, without cooking) and characterized regarding pH value, rheological characteristics and
textural properties (hardness and adhesiveness). The investigated samples differed in terms
of inulin content, as gelling agent (3.3-8%), and aroma (vanilla, chocolate, coco). Generally,
samples exhibited comparable characteristics. pH values of prepared puddings ranged from
6.57 to 6.90. Apparent viscosity values, measured at 50 s -1 , were 4850-16800 mPas,
indicating that puddings belong to class 4 (extremely thick drinks), according to
International Dysphagia Diet Standardization Initiative Framework (1), suitable for patients
suffering from advanced dysphagia. Samples’ hardness values ranged from 54.6 mN (coco
pudding) to 63.9 mN (chocolate pudding), whereas adhesiveness ranged from 30.26 gs (coco
pudding) to 40.64 gs (chocolate pudding), indicating the soft structure and swallowing
suitability, without the need for intense chewing (2). The investigated puddings exhibited
suitable characteristics in terms of viscosity and textural properties for patients with
advanced dysphagia and represent promising approach as vehicula for solid dosage forms
administration in the case of this population.

AB  - Orodispersible films (ODFs) have recently emerged as innovative dosage form which provides distinct advantages in the patient centric pharmaceutical drug product design due to inherent dosing flexibility and improved patient acceptability. Although their potential advantages in pharmacotherapy are well recognized, there is still a lot of research work to be done in order to explore and understand complex relationships among different formulation factors, film mechanical properties, and their bioperformance. Lack of standardized characterization methods and relevant specifications pose additional limitation for their wider application. In the present study, in-depth review of the available body of data published on ODF development and characterization was performed. In total, 112 papers published between November 2008 and April 2022 were taken into consideration for dataset building. Data collected have been critically evaluated and compiled into the representative dataset formed around three domains, namely: (A) Manufacturing method and composition; (B) ODF characteristics; and (C) ODF sensory attributes. Based on the investigated dataset, an attempt was made to identify the acceptable range of Critical Quality Attributes (CQA) values and propose ODF specific Quality Targeted Product Profile (QTPP) as a foundation which should guide and facilitate pharmaceutical development.

AB  - Growing demands for environmental sustainability and responsible exploitation of
natural resources has led to increased research on the potential use and reprocessing of
different waste materials as primary source of starting materials for different industries.
Rigorous quality requirements for pharmaceutical active and auxiliary substances is
hindering wider use of reprocessed waste materials in pharmaceutical industry. However,
certain advances have been recently introduced in the field of natural polymers
(biopolymers) production (1).
Biocompatible, biodegradable and, generally, non-toxic biopolymers offer numerous
advantages in different drug delivery systems development. In this review, focus is on
biopolymers used as potential film-forming agents (FFA) for pharmaceutical oral films. An
overview of the most commonly used biopolymers produced from different waste materials,
resources used, and their application in pharmaceutical oral films manufacture is
schematically presented in Figure 1.

AB  - The use of herbal preparations and preparations based on bee products is
increasingly present in modern therapy, but the number of solid dosage forms with these
active principles present on the market is relatively small (1). Liquisolid systems are
formulations where liquid medication is converted into powder with good flowability,
compressibility and compactibility, using selected excipients. This simple and energy
efficient process could find application in the production of solid dosage forms with liquid
extracts, which would contribute to overcoming some of the challenges associated with the
use of these preparations, such as imprecise dosing, unpleasant taste and ease of application
for patients (2). The aim of this study was to examine the influence of carrier type on
flowability, tabletability, disintegration and wettability of liquisolid compacts prepared with
natural liquid extracts.
Syloid ® XDP 3050, Neusilin® US2, Fujicalin® and Vivapur® type 101 were used as
carriers, and colloidal silicon dioxide as a coating agent. St. John's wort oil extract and
propylene glycol extract of propolis were used as the liquid phase. The admixtures were
prepared using mortar and pestle, concentration of liquid phase ranged between 15.4% and
49.8%. Flowability was examined by three different methods. Compaction properties were
tested after compression on an eccentric tablet machine and compaction analyser.
Disintegration time and wetting properties were investigated, as well.
The admixtures containing St. John's wort oil extract showed good flowability
regardless of the carrier used. Admixtures containing propolis extract showed fair
flowability, except the admixture with Neusilin ® US2 as a carrier which, despite the high
liquid load, showed good flowability. Acceptable tensile strength was achieved in all
compacts compressed using compaction analyser. The influence of formulation factors (type
of carrier, type and concentration of liquid phase) on wettability of liquisolid compacts was
observed. The shortest wetting time was achieved with microcrystalline cellulose, in
compacts with St. John's wort oil extract, and Fujicalin® , in compacts with propylene glycol
extract of propolis, respectively. In both cases, the highest water absorption ratio was
achieved with microcrystalline cellulose as a carrier. Liquisolid compacts with propylene
glycol extract of propolis and Fujicalin® showed satisfactory disintegration time, while the
addition of a superdisintegrant would be necessary for all the other formulations.
The obtained results indicate a significant potential for the application of highly
porous carriers and liquisolid technology as an approach to convert liquid preparations with
natural active principles into tablets, a dosage form widely accepted by patients.
AB  - Primena biljnih preparata i preparata na bazi pčelinjih proizvoda sve je više
zastupljena u savremenoj terapiji, ali je na tržištu prisutan mali broj čvrstih farmaceutskih
oblika sa ovim aktivnim principima (1). Tečno-čvrsti sistemi (engl. liquisolid systems)
predstavljaju formulacije kod kojih se primenom odabranih ekscipijenasa aktivna supstanca
u tečnom obliku ili njen rastvor/disperzija prevodi u prašak dobre protočnosti,
kompresibilnosti i kompaktibilnosti. Ovaj jednostavan i energetski efikasan postupak bi
mogao naći primenu u proizvodnji čvrstih farmaceutskih oblika sa tečnim ekstraktima, što bi
doprinelo prevazilaženju nekih od izazova povezanih sa primenom ovih preparata kao što su
neprecizno doziranje, neprijatan ukus i jednostavnost primene za pacijente (2). Cilj ovog
rada bio je da se ispita uticaj vrste nosača na protočnost, tabletabilnost, raspadljivost i
sposobnost kvašenja tečno-čvrstih kompakata pripremljenih sa tečnim ekstraktima
prirodnog porekla.
Porozni ekscipijensi Syloid® XDP 3050, Neusilin® US2, Fujicalin® i Vivapur ® type 101
korišćeni su kao nosači, a koloidni silicijum-dioksid kao sredstvo za oblaganje. Kao tečna faza
korišćeni su biljni preparat na bazi uljanog ekstrakta kantariona i propilenglikolni ekstrakt
propolisa. Smeše su pripremljene pomoću tarionika i pistila, udeo tečne faze kretao se od
15,4% до 49,8%. Protočnost pripremljenih smeša ispitana je primenom tri različite metode.
Svojstva pri kompresiji ispitana su nakon komprimovanja na ekscentar tablet mašini i
simulatoru kompakcije, a zatim su ispitane raspadljivost i sposobnost kvašenja kompakata.
Sve smeše pripremljene sa uljanim ekstraktom kantariona pokazale su dobru
protočnost nezavisno od primenjenog nosača. Smeše pripremljene sa ekstraktom propolisa
pokazale su umerenu protočnost, osim smeše sa Neusilin® US2 kao nosačem koja je i pored
visokog udela tečne faze pokazala dobru protočnost. Zadovoljavajuća zatezna čvrstina
postignuta je kod svih kompakata izrađenih na simulatoru kompakcije. Uočen je uticaj
faktora formulacije (vrsta nosača, vrsta i udeo tečne faze) na sposobnost kvašenja tečno-
čvrstih kompakata. Najkraće vreme kvašenja postignuto je kada je kao nosač korišćena
mikrokristalna celuloza, kod kompakata sa uljanim ekstraktom kantariona, odnosno
Fujicalin® , kod kompakata sa propilenglikolnim ekstraktom propolisa. U oba slučaja najveći
stepen apsorpcije vode postignut je sa mikrokristalnom celulozom kao nosačem.
Ispitivanjem raspadljivosti utvrđeno je da tečno-čvrsti kompakti sa propilenglikolnim
ekstraktom propolisa i Fujicalin®-om kao nosačem pokazuju zadovoljavajuću raspadljivost,
dok je za sve druge formulacije neophodan dodatak superdezintegratora.
Dobijeni rezultati ukazuju na značajan potencijal primene visoko poroznih nosača i
tehnologije tečno-čvrstih sistema kao pristupa za prevođenje tečnih preparata sa aktivnim
principima prirodnog porekla u tablete, kao farmaceutski oblik koji je široko prihvaćen od
strane pacijenata.

flowability, except the admixture with Neusilin ® US2 as a carrier which, despite the high
liquid load, showed good flowability. Acceptable tensile strength was achieved in all
compacts compressed using compaction analyser. The influence of formulation factors (type
of carrier, type and concentration of liquid phase) on wettability of liquisolid compacts was
observed. The shortest wetting time was achieved with microcrystalline cellulose, in
compacts with St. John's wort oil extract, and Fujicalin® , in compacts with propylene glycol
extract of propolis, respectively. In both cases, the highest water absorption ratio was
achieved with microcrystalline cellulose as a carrier. Liquisolid compacts with propylene
glycol extract of propolis and Fujicalin® showed satisfactory disintegration time, while the
addition of a superdisintegrant would be necessary for all the other formulations.
The obtained results indicate a significant potential for the application of highly
porous carriers and liquisolid technology as an approach to convert liquid preparations with
natural active principles into tablets, a dosage form widely accepted by patients., Primena biljnih preparata i preparata na bazi pčelinjih proizvoda sve je više
zastupljena u savremenoj terapiji, ali je na tržištu prisutan mali broj čvrstih farmaceutskih
oblika sa ovim aktivnim principima (1). Tečno-čvrsti sistemi (engl. liquisolid systems)
predstavljaju formulacije kod kojih se primenom odabranih ekscipijenasa aktivna supstanca
u tečnom obliku ili njen rastvor/disperzija prevodi u prašak dobre protočnosti,
kompresibilnosti i kompaktibilnosti. Ovaj jednostavan i energetski efikasan postupak bi
mogao naći primenu u proizvodnji čvrstih farmaceutskih oblika sa tečnim ekstraktima, što bi
doprinelo prevazilaženju nekih od izazova povezanih sa primenom ovih preparata kao što su
neprecizno doziranje, neprijatan ukus i jednostavnost primene za pacijente (2). Cilj ovog
rada bio je da se ispita uticaj vrste nosača na protočnost, tabletabilnost, raspadljivost i
sposobnost kvašenja tečno-čvrstih kompakata pripremljenih sa tečnim ekstraktima
prirodnog porekla.
Porozni ekscipijensi Syloid® XDP 3050, Neusilin® US2, Fujicalin® i Vivapur ® type 101
korišćeni su kao nosači, a koloidni silicijum-dioksid kao sredstvo za oblaganje. Kao tečna faza
korišćeni su biljni preparat na bazi uljanog ekstrakta kantariona i propilenglikolni ekstrakt
propolisa. Smeše su pripremljene pomoću tarionika i pistila, udeo tečne faze kretao se od
15,4% до 49,8%. Protočnost pripremljenih smeša ispitana je primenom tri različite metode.
Svojstva pri kompresiji ispitana su nakon komprimovanja na ekscentar tablet mašini i
simulatoru kompakcije, a zatim su ispitane raspadljivost i sposobnost kvašenja kompakata.
Sve smeše pripremljene sa uljanim ekstraktom kantariona pokazale su dobru
protočnost nezavisno od primenjenog nosača. Smeše pripremljene sa ekstraktom propolisa
pokazale su umerenu protočnost, osim smeše sa Neusilin® US2 kao nosačem koja je i pored
visokog udela tečne faze pokazala dobru protočnost. Zadovoljavajuća zatezna čvrstina
postignuta je kod svih kompakata izrađenih na simulatoru kompakcije. Uočen je uticaj
faktora formulacije (vrsta nosača, vrsta i udeo tečne faze) na sposobnost kvašenja tečno-
čvrstih kompakata. Najkraće vreme kvašenja postignuto je kada je kao nosač korišćena
mikrokristalna celuloza, kod kompakata sa uljanim ekstraktom kantariona, odnosno
Fujicalin® , kod kompakata sa propilenglikolnim ekstraktom propolisa. U oba slučaja najveći
stepen apsorpcije vode postignut je sa mikrokristalnom celulozom kao nosačem.
Ispitivanjem raspadljivosti utvrđeno je da tečno-čvrsti kompakti sa propilenglikolnim
ekstraktom propolisa i Fujicalin®-om kao nosačem pokazuju zadovoljavajuću raspadljivost,
dok je za sve druge formulacije neophodan dodatak superdezintegratora.
Dobijeni rezultati ukazuju na značajan potencijal primene visoko poroznih nosača i
tehnologije tečno-čvrstih sistema kao pristupa za prevođenje tečnih preparata sa aktivnim
principima prirodnog porekla u tablete, kao farmaceutski oblik koji je široko prihvaćen od
strane pacijenata.",

AB  - The lack of directly compressible excipients and the introduction of the high-speed
manufacturing machines have further increased the interest in the development of co-processed
excipients. In the present study, in situ fluidized bed melt granulation (FBMG) as an environmental
friendly and cost-effective method, was applied to co-process the most common filler, lactose
monohydrate, with lipid excipients glyceryl dibehenate (Compritol ® 888 ATO) or glyceryl
palmitostearate (Precirol ® ATO 5) known for their antiadhesive, lubricant and flowing aid properties
(1, 2). The goal of this study was to develop the lipid-based co-processed excipients and to investigate
their flowability and tableting properties using a solvent-free and eco-friendly, FBMG method.
The flow properties of the tested samples (the single-component excipients, their physical
mixtures, lactose (85% (w/w)) co-processed with Precirol® or Compritol ® (15% (w/w)), and
commercially available lactose-based co-processed excipients (Retalac ® and Ludipress®) were
evaluated by Carr index and Hausner ratio. Dynamic compaction analysis of the investigated excipients
was performed on a single punch instrumented tablet press (GTP D series, Gamlen Tableting Ltd, UK).
Comparable or even better flowability of co-processed excipients obtained via in situ FBMG, in
comparison to commercial co-processed excipients indicate their suitability for direct compression. Co-
processed excipients with Precirol ® and Compritol ®, as well as the corresponding physical mixtures,
showed two to almost three times lower values of total work of compression than those obtained for
commercial lactose-based excipients. Furthermore, co-processed excipients prepared with lipid
excipients showed up to 50-fold lower detachment work and up to 20-fold lower ejection work than
those obtained for Retalac ® and Ludipress®. Superior antiadhesive and lubricating properties of the
excipients prepared by in situ FBMG can be attributed to the properties of lipid excipients. Both
commercially available and the investigated co-processed excipients, prepared with lipid excipients,
showed relatively high tensile strength values (>1.7 MPa).
The results presented in this study indicate that in situ fluidized bed melt granulation can be
used as suitable co-processing technique, as a time and energy less consuming method in comparison
with commonly applied techniques such as spray drying and wet granulation. According to the results
obtained, by co-processing lactose with selected lipid excipients excellent flowability, as well as
improved tableting properties can be achieved. Novel co-processed excipients were even found to be
highly superior regarding their antiadhesive and lubricating properties in comparison to commercial
lactose-based co-processed excipients.
AB  - Nedostatak direktno kompresibilnih ekscipijenasa i uvođenje proizvodne opreme velike brzine

korišćenog sredstva za dopunjavanje, laktoze, monohidrata, sa lipidnim ekscipijensima,
glicerildibehenatom (Compritol® 888 ATO) ili glicerilpalmitostearatom (Precirol® ATO 5), koji su
poznati po svojim antiadhezivnim, lubrikatnim i protočnim osobinama (1, 2). Cilj ovog ispitivanja je bio
razvoj novih koprocesovanih ekscipijenasa na bazi lipida primenom ekološki prihvatljive metode, koja
ne zahteva upotrebu rastvarača, i ispitivanje njihove protočnosti i tabletabilnosti.
Protočne karakteristike ispitivanih uzoraka (pojedinačni ekscipijensi, njihove fizičke smeše,
laktoza ((85% (m/m)) koprocesovana sa Precirol ®-om ili Compritol®-om (15% (m/m)), i komercijalno
dostupni koprocesovani ekscipijensi na bazi laktoze (Retalac ® i Ludipress® )) procenjene su na osnovu
vrednosti Carr-ovog indeksa i Hausner‐ovog odnosa. Laboratorijski simulator kompakcije (GTP D serija,
Gamlen Tableting Ltd, UK) korišćen je za dinamičku analizu kompakcije.
Uporedive ili čak bolje protočne karakteristike koprocesovanih ekscipijensa dobijenih metodom
in situ FBMG, u poređenju sa komercijalno dostupnim koprocesovanim ekscipijensima, ukazuju na
njihovu podobnost za direktnu kompresiju. Koprocesovani ekscipijensi sa Precirol®-om i Compritol ®-
om, kao i odgovarajuće fizičke smeše, pokazale su dva do skoro tri puta niže vrednosti ukupnog rada
kompresije od komercijalno dostupnih ekscipijenasa na bazi laktoze. Dodatno, koprocesovani
ekscipijensi na bazi lipida pokazali su do 50 puta manji rad odvajanja i do 20 puta manji rad izbacivanja
od Retalac ®-a i Ludipress® -a. Superiorna antiadhezivna i lubrikatna svojstva koprocesovanih
ekscipijenasa pripremljenih in situ FBMG mogu se pripisati lipidnim ekscipijensima. Komercijalno
dostupni kao i ispitivani koprocesovani ekscipijensi, na bazi lipidnih ekscipijenasa, pokazali su

AB  - Liquisolid systems are emerging formulation approach for poorly soluble drugs, based on adsorption/absorption of drug dispersion and obtaining free-flowing powder with good compressibility. SeDeM Expert System represents a powder processability evaluation method. It may provide additional insight into liquisolid systems critical quality attributes, but the contribution of this approach remains to be explored. The aims of this study were: pellet preparation by combination of liquisolid technology and water granulation/extrusion, evaluation of liquisolid based systems (pellets/admixtures) and investigation into the applicability of SeDeM Expert System in liquisolid systems characterization. Pellets/admixtures were prepared with microcrystalline cellulose as carrier and crospovidone/silicon dioxide as coating agent. Ibuprofen solution in polyethylene glycol 400 was used as liquid phase. After comprehensive sample characterization, experimentally obtained parameters were mathematically transformed and evaluated in the SeDeM Expert System framework. Pellets exhibited low aspect ratio and excellent flowability, despite liquid load up to 52.2%. The investigated liquisolid admixtures exhibited good flowability and faster drug dissolution than pellets. Single pellet crushing test results exhibited strong correlation with compact indentation hardness and may be used as indentation hardness predictor. SeDeM Expert System provides useful insight into liquisolid system processability and comparative evaluation and it may facilitate final solid dosage form development.

AB  - From the idea of a pharmaceutical product, through the development of materials and technologies for their production, analysis, and control, application in different patient populations, to the proper disposal and destroying of pharmaceutical waste, everything is connected and has an impact on the soil, water, and air, as well as to all living beings on this planet. Intending to invite the colleagues to consider how their pharmacy practice, science, and education can impact nature and global environmental trends, Pharmaceutical Association of Serbia has organized the 2nd SFUS scientific symposium, entitled Pharmacy and the Nature - Complex Relations and Mutual Impacts on 28th October 2021, in the conference center of the Science and Technology Park Belgrade, with the presence of more than 60 participants. Within the Symposium, the introductory lecture was held by Prof. Dr. Nada Kovačević, along with eight invited lectures, three oral presentations, and thirty-two poster presentations.
AB  - Od ideje za farmaceutski proizvod, preko razvoja materijala i tehnologija za njihovu proizvodnju, analizu i kontrolu, primene kod različitih populacija pacijenata, do pravilnog odlaganja i uništavanja iskorišćenog i neiskorišćenog materijala i proizvoda, sve je povezano i ima uticaj na zemlju, vodu i vazduh, kao i na sva živa bića na ovoj planeti. Sa ciljem da se bolje razmotri na koji način aktivnosti u okviru farmaceutske struke, nauke i obrazovanja mogu da utiču na prirodu i glabalna ekološka kretanja, održan je 2. naučni simpozijum pod naslovom Farmacija i priroda – kompleksne relacije i međusobni uticaji. Simpozijum je organizovao Savez farmaceutskih udruženja Srbije i održan je 28. oktobra 2021. godine u konferencijskom centru Naučno-tehnološkog parka Beograd, uz prisutvo više od 60 učesnika. U okviru Simpozijuma je održano jedno uvodno predavanje, osam predavanja po pozivu, tri usmena saopštenja i prikazane su trideset i dve poster prezentacije.

abstract = "From the idea of a pharmaceutical product, through the development of materials and technologies for their production, analysis, and control, application in different patient populations, to the proper disposal and destroying of pharmaceutical waste, everything is connected and has an impact on the soil, water, and air, as well as to all living beings on this planet. Intending to invite the colleagues to consider how their pharmacy practice, science, and education can impact nature and global environmental trends, Pharmaceutical Association of Serbia has organized the 2nd SFUS scientific symposium, entitled Pharmacy and the Nature - Complex Relations and Mutual Impacts on 28th October 2021, in the conference center of the Science and Technology Park Belgrade, with the presence of more than 60 participants. Within the Symposium, the introductory lecture was held by Prof. Dr. Nada Kovačević, along with eight invited lectures, three oral presentations, and thirty-two poster presentations., Od ideje za farmaceutski proizvod, preko razvoja materijala i tehnologija za njihovu proizvodnju, analizu i kontrolu, primene kod različitih populacija pacijenata, do pravilnog odlaganja i uništavanja iskorišćenog i neiskorišćenog materijala i proizvoda, sve je povezano i ima uticaj na zemlju, vodu i vazduh, kao i na sva živa bića na ovoj planeti. Sa ciljem da se bolje razmotri na koji način aktivnosti u okviru farmaceutske struke, nauke i obrazovanja mogu da utiču na prirodu i glabalna ekološka kretanja, održan je 2. naučni simpozijum pod naslovom Farmacija i priroda – kompleksne relacije i međusobni uticaji. Simpozijum je organizovao Savez farmaceutskih udruženja Srbije i održan je 28. oktobra 2021. godine u konferencijskom centru Naučno-tehnološkog parka Beograd, uz prisutvo više od 60 učesnika. U okviru Simpozijuma je održano jedno uvodno predavanje, osam predavanja po pozivu, tri usmena saopštenja i prikazane su trideset i dve poster prezentacije.",

AB  - Inkjet printing is novel approach in drug manufacturing that enables dispensing precisevolumes of ink onto substrates. Optimal substrate properties including suitable mechanical charac-teristic are recognized as crucial to achieve desired dosage form performance upon administration.Identification of relevant quality attributes and their quantification is subject of intensive scientificresearch. The aim of this work was to explore applicability of different materials as printing substratesand explore contribution of the investigated substrate properties to its printability. Substrates werecharacterized with regards to uniformity, porosity, disintegration time, mechanical properties anddrug dissolution. Experimentally obtained values were mathematically transformed and the obtainedresults were presented as relevant radar charts. It was shown that structurally different substratesmay be employed for orodispersible films inkjet printing.  Main disadvantage of single-polymerfilms was low drug load, and their printability was dependent on film flexibility and mechanicalstrength. Structured orodispersible film templates exhibited favorable mechanical properties anddrug load capacity.  Wafer edible sheets were characterized with high mechanical resistance andbrittleness which somewhat diminished printability, but did not hinder high drug load. Obtainedresults provide insight into application of different materials as printing substrates and contribute tounderstanding of substrate properties which can affect printability.

AB  - Increasing expectations to understand material properties and process parameters impact on drug product per-formance resulted in increased efforts towards evaluation of drug/excipients mixtures, particularly during com-pression. Several research groups introduced material classification methodologies based on compressionbehaviour. In the present work, the applicability of different compression behaviour assessment approaches:Manufacturability Classification System (MCS), SeDeM Expert System and Compression Behaviour ClassificationSystem (CBCS) on multiparticulate units (MPU) characterization was evaluated. MPUs were prepared either byextrusion/spheronization or kneading/granulation and comprehensive sample characterization was conducted.Experimentally determined parameters were mathematically transformed and evaluated in the framework ofMCS, SeDeM and CBCS. The investigated approaches were successfully applied for MPU compressibility assess-ment and were able to discriminate sample characteristics affected by different manufacturing methods. The re-sults obtained provide insight into multiparticulate properties, contribute to understanding of factors governingtheir compressibility and may serve as useful tool in multiparticulate dosage forms development.
