In this review, an in-depth analysis of the distribution of PBPK modeling in relation to its application in various research topics and model validation was conducted by text mining tools. Orange 3.32.0, an open-source data mining program was used for text mining. PubMed was used for data retrieval, and the collected articles were analyzed by several widgets. A total of 2699 articles related to PBPK modeling met the predefined criteria. The number of publications per year has been rising steadily. Regarding the application areas, the results revealed that 26% of the publications described the use of PBPK modeling in early drug development, risk assessment and toxicity assessment, followed by absorption/formulation modeling (25%), prediction of drug-disease interactions (20%), drug-drug interactions (DDIs) (17%) and pediatric drug development (12%). Furthermore, the analysis showed that only 12% of the publications mentioned model validation, of which 51% referred to literature-based validation and 26% to experimentally validated models. The obtained results present a valuable review of the state-of-the-art regarding PBPK modeling applications in drug discovery and development and related fields.

AB  - 1. INTRODUCTION
When it comes to pharmacy, 3D printing has
gained immense popularity in recent years due
to its revolutionary use in printing drugs tailored
to individual patient needs [1,2]. Selective laser
sintering (SLS) is an industrial 3D printing
technique which uses a powder bed to build up
the 3D object thanks to a laser which binds the
powder particles together. Advantages of SLS
technique include the fact that it is a solvent-free
process and offers relatively fast production.
Until today, a limited number of studies
investigating the production of drug dosage
forms using SLS have been reported [2,3].
2. MATERIALS AND METHODS
2.1. Materials
Carvedilol (CRV) was used as a model
substance in this study and it was donated by
Hemofarm (Vršac, Serbia). The following
excipients used to obtain 3D printing tablets:
polyvinyl alcohol (PVA, Merck), mannitol
(Parteck® M, Merck), Ludipress®
(coprocessed excipient consisting of 93%
lactose monohydrate, 3.5% crospovidone
(Kollidon® CL) and 3.5% povidone K30
(Kollidon® 30), BASF), talc (Merck) and
candurin (Candurin® Gold Sheen, Merck).
2.2. Preparation of formulations
The compositions of the formulations are
shown in Table 1.
Table 1. Composition of the formulations
Material Formulation 1 Formulation 2
CRV 10% 10%
PVA 55% 55%
Parteck® M 30% /
Ludipress® / 30%
Talc 2% 2%
Candurin®
Gold Sheen 3% 3%
Powder for 3D printing was obtained by mixing
all the components of the formulation and
sifting through a sieve with a diameter of 180
μm.
2.3. 3D printing of oral dosage forms
A cylindrical 3D models of the printed tablets
(8.00 mm diameter and 2.00 mm thickness)
were designed with Autodesk Fusion 360
software version 2.0.8809 (Autodesk Inc, San
Rafael, CA, USA), exported as a
stereolithography file (.stl) and printed with
Sintratec Kit 3D printer (Sintratec AG,
Switzerland). The printing parameters were
controlled using Sintratec 3D printer software.
After a series of variations in temperature and
laser speed, the optimal values of these
parameters used in the 3D printing process were
established and shown in Table 2.

2.4. Mechanical properties of 3D tablets
Tablets (n = 10) were weighed on a Sartorius BP
210 D analytical balance (Sartorius, Goettingen,
Germany) and measured (diameter and
thickness) using a digital caliper (Vogel,
Kevelaer, Germany).
2.5. Powder X-ray diffraction analysis
(PXRD)
PXRD analysis was performed to assess
whether the laser induced amorphization of any
of the compounds, especially amorphization of
poorly soluble CRV. Samples were collected
using a Philips PW-1050 (Philips, The
Netherlands) diffractometer, operated at 40 kV
and 30 mA, using Ni-filtered Cu Kα radiation.
2.6. Dissolution and Drug Release Analysis
Dissolution testing was performed under nonsink
conditions using mini paddle apparatus
(Erweka DT 600, Germany) with a paddle
rotation speed of 50 rpm for 8 h, in 100 ml of
phosphate buffer (pH 6.8). The amount of
dissolved CRV was determined by HPLC
method using Dionex Ultimate 3000 (Thermo
Scientific, USA) HPLC system.
3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
3.1. 3D printing process
It was shown that SLS printer was able to
fabricate 3D tablets with CRV, as well as that
success of the printing process depended on the
used printing parameters.
3.2. Mechanical properties of 3D tablets
The dimensions of the obtained 3D tablets were
in accordance with the defined values of the
created 3D models (F1: 8.10 ± 0.08 mm
diameter and 2.10 ± 0.13 mm thickness, F2:
8.13 ± 0.09 mm diameter and 2.10 ± 0.12 mm
thickness). Significant variations in tablet
weight between formulations were not observed
(m1=0.146 ± 0.04; m2=0.136 ± 0.03).
3.3. Powder X-ray diffraction analysis
(PXRD)

4. CONCLUSION
SLA represents a new chapter in 3D printing of
solid oral dosage forms and in individualized
therapy in particular. By adjusting the
formulation and process parameters, it was
possible to produce SLS tablets with coamorphous
CRV and PVA as a main polymer.
Complete drug release was achieved under non
sink conditions after 8 hours in phosphate
buffer. The tailoring of drug release might be
achieved by varying formulation factors as well
as process parameters, although it could be
governed by the composition of the whole
formulation.

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.

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.",

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  - In recent years, introduction of modern technologies, such as 3D printing, has
opened a new chapter and caused a paradigm shift from manufacturing of large-scale to
small batches of medicines tailored accordingly to the specific needs of patients (1). The aim
of this study was to formulate and fabricate two-layered tablets using digital light processing
(DLP) technique, which utilizes light irradiation to create solid objects from photoreactive
liquid resin in a layer-by-layer manner. Hydrochlorothiazide (HHT, 5%,w/w) and warfarin
sodium (VRN, 5%,w/w) were selected as model drugs, commonly used together in the
treatment of cardiovascular diseases. 3D printing process was initiated with 0.10% of
photoinitiator, at a constant ratio of poly(ethylene glycol)diacrylate and poly(ethylene
glycol) 400, 1:1, with the addition of water (10%,w/w). 3D tablets, with each of the active
substances in a separate layer, 8.00 mm in diameter and 1.50 mm thick, as well as combined
two-layered tablets with HHT and VRN in individual layers, were successfully printed with
Wanhao D8 printer. Dissolution test results showed immediate, but incomplete release of
VRN (81.47 ± 1.47%, after 45 min) from individual layers, while the release of HHT was
prolonged and complete (98.17 ± 3.11%, after 8 h). Significantly slower and incomplete
release of VRN and HHT from combined tablets was observed. The absence of interactions
and the presence of a layered structure were confirmed. DLP technique has a potential to
provide fast fabrication of combined tablets, while further optimization of formulation
factors is necessary in order to achieve complete drug release.

AB  - Mucoadhesive buccal films can improve drug absorption by prolonging its retention
time on the buccal mucosa (1). The aim of the study was a comparative assessment of the
hemodynamic effects and pharmacokinetics of propranolol hydrochloride (PROP) after
buccal and oral administration in spontaneously hypertensive rats. Animals were divided
into 3 groups: Group I (control) received 0.5 mL of water with a gastric tube, group II
received an immediate-release 10 mg PROP tablet via gastric tube, and group III received a
mucoadhesive 10 mg PROP buccal film. Systolic (SP) and diastolic blood pressure (DP), and
heart rate (SF) were measured in rats, and pharmacokinetic PROP parameters, Cmax, tmax,
and AUC0 → 24, were calculated by noncompartmental analysis. Mucoadhesive buccal films
showed superior degree of absorption of PROP over immediate-release tablets (AUC0 → 24:
69.64 μgh/ml versus 24.61 μgh/ml). The tmax value was significantly higher in
mucoadhesive buccal films, which indicates a prolonged PROP release and longer
therapeutic effect (71.19h versus 29.73h). There was no statistically significant difference in
Cmax values between groups II and III of rats (4.74 μg ml versus 7.11 μg ml). Mucoadhesive
buccal films provide a more pronounced and long-lasting reduction primarily of SF
(reduction of 28-51% lasting from 10 minutes to the twelfth hour of testing), but also SP and
DP (between 15-30% from the first to the sixth hour of testing) compared to immediate-
release tablets. Mucoadhesive buccal films allow bypass/reduction of the extensive hepatic
first-pass metabolism, and consequently improve the therapeutic PROP effect.
AB  - Mukoadhezivni bukalni filmovi mogu poboljšati apsorpciju lekovite supstance
produžavajuć i vreme zadržavanja lekovitog preparata na bukalnoj sluznici (1). Cilj studije je
bila komparativna procena hemodinamskih efekata i farmakokinetike propranolol-
hidrohlorida (PROP) nakon bukalne i peroralne primene kod sponatano hipertenzivnih
pacova. Spontano hipertenzivni pacovi su podeljeni u 3 grupe: I (kontrolna) grupa je dobila
0,5 mL vode gastričnom sondom, II grupa je dobila tabletu sa trenutnim oslobađanjem sa 10
mg PROP gastričnom sondom i III grupa je dobila mukoadhezivni bukalni film sa 10 mg
PROP. Filmovi su pripremljeni korišćenjem polietilenoksida, hidroksipropilmetilceluloze i
polivinilalkohola kao film-formirajućih polimera sa mukoadhezivnim svojstvima. Pacovima
su mereni sistolni (SP) i dijastolni krvni pritisak (DP), srčana frekvencija (SF), a

trenutnim oslobađanjem u pogledu stepena apsorpcije PROP (AUC 0→24 : 69,64 μgh/ml
naspram 24,61 μgh/ml). Tmax vrednost je bila značajno veća kod mukoadhezivnih bukalnih

izraženije i dugotrajnije smanjenje pre svega SF (smanjenje od 28-51% u trajanju od 10
minuta do dvanaestog sata ispitivanja), ali i SP i DP (između 15-30% od prvog do šestog sata

abstract = "Mucoadhesive buccal films can improve drug absorption by prolonging its retention
time on the buccal mucosa (1). The aim of the study was a comparative assessment of the
hemodynamic effects and pharmacokinetics of propranolol hydrochloride (PROP) after
buccal and oral administration in spontaneously hypertensive rats. Animals were divided
into 3 groups: Group I (control) received 0.5 mL of water with a gastric tube, group II
received an immediate-release 10 mg PROP tablet via gastric tube, and group III received a
mucoadhesive 10 mg PROP buccal film. Systolic (SP) and diastolic blood pressure (DP), and
heart rate (SF) were measured in rats, and pharmacokinetic PROP parameters, Cmax, tmax,
and AUC0 → 24, were calculated by noncompartmental analysis. Mucoadhesive buccal films
showed superior degree of absorption of PROP over immediate-release tablets (AUC0 → 24:
69.64 μgh/ml versus 24.61 μgh/ml). The tmax value was significantly higher in
mucoadhesive buccal films, which indicates a prolonged PROP release and longer
therapeutic effect (71.19h versus 29.73h). There was no statistically significant difference in
Cmax values between groups II and III of rats (4.74 μg ml versus 7.11 μg ml). Mucoadhesive
buccal films provide a more pronounced and long-lasting reduction primarily of SF
(reduction of 28-51% lasting from 10 minutes to the twelfth hour of testing), but also SP and
DP (between 15-30% from the first to the sixth hour of testing) compared to immediate-
release tablets. Mucoadhesive buccal films allow bypass/reduction of the extensive hepatic
first-pass metabolism, and consequently improve the therapeutic PROP effect., Mukoadhezivni bukalni filmovi mogu poboljšati apsorpciju lekovite supstance

bila komparativna procena hemodinamskih efekata i farmakokinetike propranolol-
hidrohlorida (PROP) nakon bukalne i peroralne primene kod sponatano hipertenzivnih
pacova. Spontano hipertenzivni pacovi su podeljeni u 3 grupe: I (kontrolna) grupa je dobila
0,5 mL vode gastričnom sondom, II grupa je dobila tabletu sa trenutnim oslobađanjem sa 10
mg PROP gastričnom sondom i III grupa je dobila mukoadhezivni bukalni film sa 10 mg
PROP. Filmovi su pripremljeni korišćenjem polietilenoksida, hidroksipropilmetilceluloze i
polivinilalkohola kao film-formirajućih polimera sa mukoadhezivnim svojstvima. Pacovima
su mereni sistolni (SP) i dijastolni krvni pritisak (DP), srčana frekvencija (SF), a
neprostornom farmakokinetičkom analizom izračunati su parametri PROP: Cmax, t max i
AUC0→24 . Mukoadhezivni bukalni filmovi su pokazali superiornost u odnosu na tablete sa

AB  - The fourth industrial revolution brought with it the development and application of
advanced, digital technologies, in all segments of the pharmaceutical industry: from the
discovery of new active substances to post-marketing monitoring of the drug. New, virtual
technologies are: artificial intelligence, quantum computing, blockchain,
telecommunications, Internet of Things, augmented, virtual and mixed reality. Many research
and development centers in the pharmaceutical industry use artificial intelligence
technologies in the discovery of new active substances, in silico modeling of drug release and
absorption, optimization of drug formulation composition and production process and
simulation of clinical trials. Blockchain technology is beginning to be used in drug
distribution and makes it easier to reliably track pharmaceutical products at every step of
the supply chain. In this way, the possibility of distributing counterfeit medicines can be
reduced to a minimum. Virtual reality is used for drug discovery and design, enabling 3D
visualization of drug molecular structures. In R&D laboratories, it is used in the planning of
experiments; it can also be used in pharmaceutical education. In Mixed Reality, elements
from the real and virtual worlds coexist, allowing users to "enter" the combined world of real
and digital and move through it using state-of-the-art tools and sensors. There are a number
of challenges that need to be overcome in order to accelerate the use of new and
revolutionary virtual technologies, but the benefits of applying these technologies and the
opportunities they provide in the advancement of the pharmaceutical industry are
promising.

omogućavajući 3D vizualizaciju molekularnih struktura lekova. U laboratorijama se
primenjuje u planiranju eksperimenata; može se koristiti i u okviru farmaceutskog

sveta koegzistiraju, omogućavajući korisnicima da “uđu” u kombinovani svet realnog i

industriji, Microsoft HoloLens je korišćen kao primer mešovite stvarnosti, koja će se koristiti
u različitim oblastima: od sinteze i razvoja lekova, analitičkih procedura, proizvodnje,
inspekcije, pa do pakovanja i čuvanja lekova. Postoji niz izazova koje treba prevazići kako bi
se ubrzala upotreba novih i revolucionarnih virtuelnih tehnologija, ali su prednosti primene
ovih tehnologija i mogućnosti koje pružaju u napretku farmaceutske industrije velike.

AB  - Ever since 3D printing was introduced to the field of pharmacy, it has caused a paradigm
shift from the manufacturing of large-scale to small batches of medicines tailored accordingly to
the specific needs of patients. This study aimed to formulate and fabricate two-layered 3D tablets
using the digital light processing (DLP) technique. Hydrochlorothiazide (HHT,5%,w/w) and
warfarin sodium (WS,5%,w/w) were selected as model drugs. The printing process was initiated
with 0.1% of photoinitiator, at a constant ratio of poly(ethylene glycol)diacrylate and
poly(ethylene glycol) 400, 1:1, with the addition of water (10%,w/w). Single-layered tablets of
8.00 mm diameter and 1.50 mm thickness, containing HHT and WS respectively, were
successfully printed, as well as combined two-layered 3D tablets, with each of the active
substances in separate layers. Dissolution tests of single-layered tablets showed immediate, but
incomplete release of WS (81.47±1.47%, after 45min), and prolonged and complete release of
HHT (98.17±3.11%, after 8h), while significantly slower and incomplete release of both drugs
from the combined two-layered 3D tablets was observed. The absence of drug-polymer
interaction and presence of a layered cross-sectional tablet structure were confirmed. DLP
technique enables simple and rapid fabrication of combined two-layered 3D tablets, while further
optimization of formulation factors is necessary to achieve complete drug release.

Cilj istraživanja bio je da se formulišu i izrade dvoslojne tablete primenom tehnike digitalne obrade svetlosti (DLP). Hidrohlortiazid (HHT, 5%, m/m) i varfarin-natrijum (WS, 5%, m/m) odabrani su kao model lekovite supstance.

Jednoslojne 3D tablete prečnika 8,00 mm i debljine 1,50 mm, koje sadrže HHT, odnosno WS, kao i kombinovane dvoslojne 3D tablete, sa svakom od aktivnih supstanci u posebnom sloju, uspešno su odštampane. Prilikom ispitivanja brzine rastvaranja lekovite supstance iz jednoslojnih tableta, došlo je do trenutnog (81,47±1,47%, nakon 45 min), ali nepotpunog oslobađanja WS, i produženog i potpunog oslobađanja HHT (98,17±3,11%, nakon 8 h), dok je iz kombinovanih tableta zapaženo znatno sporije i nepotpuno oslobađanje obe lekovite supstance. Potvrđeno je odsustvo interakcija i prisustvo slojevite strukture. DLP tehnika pruža mogućnost jednostavne i brze izrade kombinovanih tableta, pri čemu je dalja optimizacija formulacionih faktora neophodna u cilju postizanja potpunog oslobađanja lekovite supstance.

AB  - Compaction simulators are designed as machines which can provide an in-depth analysis
of the powder compaction process. Characterization of the powder compression and compaction
process, as well as material characterization, play an important role in the formulation and
manufacturing process design and development, as well as in creating a strong knowledge basis
for the scale-up of the tablet compression and troubleshooting in further stages of the product
lifecycle. Although compaction simulators are designed to simulate the compression process on

AB  - The introduction of three-dimensional (3D) printing in the pharmaceutical field has made great strides towards innovations in the way drugs are designed and manufactured. In this study, digital light processing (DLP) technique was used to fabricate oral dosage forms of different shapes with zolpidem tartrate (ZT), incorporated within its therapeutic range. Formulation factors, such as poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) and poly(ethylene glycol) 400 (PEG 400) ratio, as well as water content, were varied in combination with the surface area/volume (SA/V) ratio to achieve immediate drug release. Hypromellose (HPMC) was used as a stabilizing agent of photoreactive suspensions in an attempt to prevent drug sedimentation and subsequent variations in drug content uniformity. Oral dosage forms with doses in the range from 0.15 mg to 6.37 mg, showing very rapid and rapid drug dissolution, were successfully fabricated, confirming the potential of this technique in drug manufacturing with the ability to provide flexible dose adjustments and desirable release profiles by varying formulation factors and geometry of 3D models. DSC (differential scanning calorimetry), XRPD (X-ray powder diffraction) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that ZT remained in a crystalline form within printed dosage forms and no interactions were found between ZT and polymers.

AB  - The development of novel dry powders for dry powder inhalers (DPIs) requires the in vitro assessment of DPI aerodynamic performance. As a potential complementary method, in silico numerical simulations can provide additional information about the mechanisms that guide the particles and their behavior inside DPIs. The aim of this study was to apply computational fluid dynamics (CFDs) coupled with a discrete phase model (DPM) to describe the forces and particle trajectories inside the RS01® as a model DPI device. The methodology included standard fluid flow equations but also additional equations for the particle sticking mechanism, as well as particle behavior after contacting the DPI wall surface, including the particle detachment process. The results show that the coefficient of restitution between the particle and the impact surface does not have a high impact on the results, meaning that all tested combinations gave similar output efficiencies and particle behaviors. No sliding or rolling mechanisms were observed for the particle detachment process, meaning that simple bouncing off or deposition particle behavior is present inside DPIs. The developed methodology can serve as a basis for the additional understanding of the particles’ behavior inside DPIs, which is not possible using only in vitro experiments; this implies the possibility of increasing the efficiency of DPIs.

AB  - The aim of this work was to apply the of Quality by Design concept in optimization of lyophilisation process in production of esomeprazole 40 mg powder for solution for injection/infusion. Optimization has been triggered by the product solution's sensitivity to oxygen, which leads to a fast decrease in pH value and limits allowable duration of air exposure. Lyophilizer capacity and number of ‘’good’’ vials of finished product are thereby significantly reduced, presenting serious obstacle for scale-up from 17,000 vials to 33,000 vials. With goal to maintain pH stable during production of an almost twice as big batch, a pre-freezing phase after filling, and before lyophilisation was introduced. Starting from the Quality Target Product Profile, Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) was applied for the purpose of defining Critical Process Parameters (CPPs), Critical Material Attributes (CMAs), Critical Quality Attributes (CQAs) and control strategy for the production. It was confirmed that temperature of shelfs of −30 °C, as opposed to 20 °C, significantly extends the time for which esomeprazole solution remains stable. Finally, an artificial neural network model was built and trained in order to define the design space for the lyophilisation process. It was demonstrated that the pH of esomeprazole solution remains stable and in specification within the lyophilizer's shelf temperature range of −10 °C to −30 °C for 5–26 h.

AB  - Considering the urgent need for novel therapeutics in ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, drug repurposing approach might offer rapid solutions comparing to de novo drug design. In this study, we designed an integrative in silico drug repurposing approach for rapid selection of potential candidates against SARS-CoV-2 Main Protease (Mpro). To screen FDA-approved drugs, we implemented structure-based molecular modelling techniques, physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modelling of drugs disposition and data mining analysis of drug-gene-COVID-19 association. Through presented approach, we selected the most promising FDA approved drugs for further COVID-19 drug development campaigns and analysed them in context of available experimental data. To the best of our knowledge, this is unique in silico study which integrates structure-based molecular modeling of Mpro inhibitors with predictions of their tissue disposition, drug-gene-COVID-19 associations and prediction of pleiotropic effects of selected candidates.

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
rada dodatno su povećali interesovanje za razvoj koprocesovanih ekscipijenasa. U ovoj studiji, in situ
granulacija topljenjem u uređaju tipa fluidizirajućeg sistema (eng. fluidized bed melt granulation,
FBMG), kao ekološki prihvatljiva i ekonomična metoda, primenjena je za koprocesovanje najčešće
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
relativno visoke vrednosti zatezne čvrstine (> 1,7 MPa).
Predstavljeni rezultati ukazuju na to da se granulacija topljenjem u uređaju tipa fluidizirajućeg
sistema može koristiti kao pogodna metoda za koprocesovanje, koja zahteva manji utrošak energije i
vremena u poređenju sa uobičajenim tehnikama, poput sušenja raspršivanjem ili vlažne granulacije.
Dobijeni rezultati pokazuju da se koprocesovanjem laktoze sa odabranim lipidnim ekscipijensima može
postići odlična protočnost, kao i poboljšana tabletabilnost. Novi koprocesovani ekscipijensi su čak
pokazali superiornije karakteristike u pogledu svojih antiadhezivnih i lubrikatnih karakteristika u

AB  - Co-processing (CP) provides superior properties to excipients and has become a reliable option to facilitated formulation and manufacturing of variety of solid dosage forms. Development of directly compressible formulations with high doses of poorly flowing/compressible active pharmaceutical ingredients, such as paracetamol, remains a great challenge for the pharmaceutical industry due to the lack of understanding of the interplay between the formulation properties, process of compaction, and stages of tablets’ detachment and ejection. The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of the compression load, excipients’ co-processing and the addition of paracetamol on the obtained tablets’ tensile strength and the specific parameters of the tableting process, such as (net) compression work, elastic recovery, detachment, and ejection work, as well as the ejection force. Two types of neural networks were used to analyze the data: classification (Kohonen network) and regression networks (multilayer perceptron and radial basis function), to build prediction models and identify the variables that are predominantly affecting the tableting process and the obtained tablets’ tensile strength. It has been demonstrated that sophisticated data-mining methods are necessary to interpret complex phenomena regarding the effect of co-processing on tableting properties of directly compressible excipients.

AB  - Aerial parts of Satureja kitaibelii are traditionally used as carminative, for treatment of respiratory and urinary  complaints, or as anti-inflammatory agent for skin and mucous membranes. The aim of the present study was to  formulate immediate-release capsules and tablets with high content (≥95%) of S. kitaibelii optimized dry extract  by direct compression. The influence of ethanol concentration (40–96%, v/v), temperature (25–80 ◦C) and time  (2–8 h) on the extraction yield, total phenolic content (TPC), as well as on the contents of rosmarinic acid (RA)  and clinopodic acid O (CAO) in the S. kitaibelii dry extract was investigated using the response surface meth-odology (RSM). The estimated optimal conditions for the extraction were: ethanol 46.4%, 61.6 ◦C, 2 h. Dry  extract of S. kitaibelii obtained under the optimal conditions (characterized by: yield 24.2%, TPC 170.4 mg gallic  acid equivalents/g, RA 10.7 mg/g and CAO 17.1 mg/g) was used to manufacture solid dosage forms. Three  formulations (F) were prepared: F1, hard capsules (99% dry extract, 1% magnesium stearate); F2, uncoated  tablets (99% dry extract, 1% magnesium stearate) and F3, uncoated tablets (95% dry extract, 4% sodium starch  glycolate, 1% magnesium stearate). Hard capsules (F1) with the uniform weight, adequate disintegration time  and dissolution rate were obtained. Regarding tablet formulations, F3 exhibited satisfactory tableting properties,  disintegration time and dissolution profile. Therefore, immediate-release capsules and tablets with a high content  of S.kitaibelii extract were formulated to accomplish the unmet need for convenient solid dosage forms that  contains high doses of herbal extracts.

AB  - The present study was aimed to investigate the feasibility of loading microcrystalline cellulose derived from the agricultural waste with poorly water-soluble drug by using supercritical carbon dioxide as impregnation medium. Operating parameters of supercritical impregnation process (pressure, temperature and time) were varied to in order to maximize loading of ibuprofen used as a model drug into microcrystalline cellulose. The efficiency of ibuprofen loading using supercritical impregnation and release kinetics studies of microcrystalline cellulose in two pharmaceutical forms, powder and tablets, were investigated.  The highest amount of ibuprofen was impregnated in microcrystalline cellulose powder by using supercritical impregnation at 25 MPa and 40 °C for 24 h (9.43%). Increasing pressure in the range of 10 MPa–25 MPa and time from 2 h to 24 h favours loading of ibuprofen into microcrystalline cellulose. A higher loading efficiency at the same impregnation conditions was observed for powdered microcrystalline cellulose. Temperature change in range of 40–60 °C had negligible influence on loading efficiency. FT-IR spectroscopy analysis showed no evidence of chemical modification of microcrystalline cellulose after processing. In vitro drug release study showed that impregnated powder formulations released the total amount of ibuprofen immediately, while the impregnation of microcrystalline cellulose powder in the form of tablets led to the achievement of the sustained release profile.

AB  - The present research aims to enhance the antimicrobial activity of kaolinite surfaces by a one-step cost-effective and energy-efficient dry thermal reaction, producing an antibacterial and antifungal silver-kaolinite (Ag-Kao) nanocomposite agent. Pharmaceutical grade kaolin powder samples, with variable kaolinite structural order–disorder degree, were homogeneously mixed with silver nitrate in a proportion 1:4 AgNO3:kaolin (w/w) and sintered at 400 °C for 30 min. The composition, microstructure, microtexture and surface characteristics of the pyro-fabricated nanocomposites were characterized by XRD/XRF diffractometry, differential scanning calorimetry DSC, FT-IR spectroscopy, TEM/EDX, zeta potential (mV) measured within the 2–12 pH range, and BET method. Physicochemical stability was evaluated by silver dissociation testing under close-neutral and acidic conditions with Ag content assay using ICP-OES. The resulting Ag-Kao nanocomposites exhibited bulk silver contents ranging from 9.29% to 13.32% with high physicochemical stability in both neutral and acidic mediums (Ag dissociation rate <0.5% in 5 days). Ag nanocrystals exhibited particle sizes ranging from 5 to 30 nm, which were embedded and reinforced within the kaolinite matrix. The sizes of the Ag nanocrystals and their distribution patterns on the edges and faces of kaolinite platelets were controlled by the structural order–disorder degree. Highly ordered kaolinites (Hinckley Index, HI > 1) produced platelet edge-clustered silver nanocrystals due to the abundance of the dangling hydroxyls on platelet edges, while the highly disordered kaolinite (HI < 1) provided homogeneous platelet basal-doped silver nanocrystals due to the presence of some residual charges by exposed basal hydroxyl groups with interplatelet silver diffusivity. At pH 2, the magnitude of the positive surface charge was influenced by the silver nanocrystal size. Nanocomposites with the smallest silver nanocrystals (10–5 nm) exhibited the highest positive zeta potential (+15.2 mV to +17.0 mV), while those with larger silver nanocrystals (up to 30 nm) indicated lower positive zeta potential values (+9.5 mV to +3.6 mV). Under the same testing conditions using the Mueller-Hinton broth microdilution method, the raw kaolin samples did not show any significant antimicrobial activity, while all the pyro-fabricated Ag-Kao nanocomposite samples showed potent antibacterial and antifungal activity at low doses (MIC range 0.1–0.0125 mg/mL). Therefore, modulation of the effective electrostatic surface charge of the kaolinite platelets, via thermal doping of silver within their basal planes and edges, was found to be strongly dependent on the pH as well as the size and microtexture of the silver nanocrystals (mainly controlled by the order–disorder degree HI). The resulting modified nanostructure, with physicochemical stability and the efficient surface properties of the designed pyro-fabricated nanocomposite, led to an enhanced synergistic biophysical antimicrobial activity.

AB  - Gelatin-polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and gelatin-poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) mucoadhesive buccal films loaded with propranolol hydrochloride (PRH) were prepared by semi-solid extrusion 3D printing. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the synthetic polymers PVP and PVA on thermal and mechanical properties and drug release profiles of gelatin-based films. The Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy showed that hydrogen bonding between gelatin and PVP formed during printing. In the other blend, neither the esterification of PVA nor gelatin occurred. Differential scanning calorimetry revealed the presence of partial helical structures. In line with these results, the mechanical properties and drug release profiles were different for each blend. Formulation with gelatin-PVP and PRH showed higher tensile strength, hardness, and adhesive strength but slower drug release than formulation with gelatin-PVA and PRH. The in silico population simulations indicated increased drug bioavailability and decreased inter-individual variations in the resulting pharmacokinetic profiles compared to immediate-release tablets. Moreover, the simulation results suggested that reduced PRH daily dosing can be achieved with prolonged-release buccal films, which improves patient compliance.

AB  - This study processes and characterizes propranolol hydrochloride/gelatin mucoadhesivebuccal films.  Two types of gelatin are used:  Gelatin from porcine skin, type A (GA), and gelatinfrom bovine skin (GB). The influence of gelatin type on mechanical, mucoadhesive, and biopharma-ceutical characteristics of buccal films is evaluated. Fourier-Transfer infrared spectroscopy (FTIR)and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis show that GA with propranolol hydrochloride(PRH) in the film (GAP) formed a physical mixture, whereas GB with PRH (GBP) form a compound-complex. Results of mechanical testing (tensile test, hardness) revealed that GAP films exhibit higherelastic modulus, tensile strength, and hardness.  A mucoahesion test shows that GBP has higheradhesion strength, while GAP shows higher work of adhesion. Bothin vitrorelease study and insilico simulation indicated that processed films can provide effective drug transport through thebuccal mucosa. In silico simulation shows improved bioavailability from buccal films, in comparisonto the immediate-release tablets—indicating that the therapeutic drug dose can be markedly reduced.

AB  - In vitro assessment of dry powders for inhalation (DPIs) aerodynamic performance is an inevitable test in DPI development. However, contemporary trends in drug development also implicate the use of in silico methods, e.g., computational fluid dynamics (CFD) coupled with discrete phase modeling (DPM). The aim of this study was to compare the designed CFD-DPM outcomes with the results of three in vitro methods for aerodynamic assessment of solid lipid microparticle DPIs. The model was able to simulate particle-to-wall sticking and estimate fractions of particles that stick or bounce off the inhaler’s wall; however, we observed notable differences between the in silico and in vitro results. The predicted emitted fractions (EFs) were comparable to the in vitro determined EFs, whereas the predicted fine particle fractions (FPFs) were generally lower than the corresponding in vitro values. In addition, CFD-DPM predicted higher mass median aerodynamic diameter (MMAD) in comparison to the in vitro values. The outcomes of different in vitro methods also diverged, implying that these methods are not interchangeable. Overall, our results support the utility of CFD-DPM in the DPI development, but highlight the need for additional improvements in these models to capture all the key processes influencing aerodynamic performance of specific DPIs.

AB  - Gentian (Gentiana lutea L., Gentianaceae) root extract (GRE) is used for the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders. However, its bioactive potential is limited in conventional forms due to the low bioavailability and short elimination half-life of the dominant bioactive compound, gentiopicroside. The aim of study was to encapsulate GRE in the lipid-based gastroretentive delivery system that could provide high yield and encapsulation efficiency, as well as the biphasic release of gentiopicroside from the tablets obtained by direct compression. Solid lipid microparticles (SLM) loaded with GRE were prepared by freeze-drying double (W/O/W) emulsions, which were obtained by a multiple emulsion–melt dispersion technique, with GRE as the inner water phase, Gelucire® 39/01 or 43/01, as lipid components, with or without the addition of porous silica (Sylysia® 350) in the outer water phase. Formulated SLM powders were examined by SEM and mercury intrusion porosimetry, as well as by determination of yield, encapsulation efficiency, and flow properties. Furthermore, in vitro dissolution of gentiopicroside, the size of the dispersed systems, mechanical properties, and mucoadhesion of tablets obtained by direct compression were investigated. The results have revealed that SLM with the macroporous structure were formulated, and, consequently, the powders floated immediately in the acidic medium. Formulation with porous silica (Sylysia® 350) and Gelucire® 43/01 as a solid lipid was characterized with the high yield end encapsulation efficiency. Furthermore, the mucoadhesive properties of tablets obtained by direct compression of that formulation, as well as the biphasic release of gentiopicroside, presence of nanoassociates in dissolution medium, and optimal mechanical properties indicated that a promising lipid-based gastroretentive system for GRE was developed.
