RESUMEN
After more than 100 years of development， spray drying technology has become more mature and widely used， and it is of great importance in the field of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）. TCM powders prepared by spray drying is the raw material of dispensing granules， and the powder properties have an important influence on subsequent molding process and product quality. As a new form of TCM， dispensing granules have been included in the management category of TCM decoction pieces， indicating a broader application market， and a consensus has also been reached on the importance of TCM powder research. Based on this， the author summarized the application progress of spray drying in the study of TCM powders， including the factors affecting spray drying process， such as liquid properties， process parameters and equipment factors， as well as the application of computational fluid dynamics （CFD） and thermodynamic model in spray drying process simulation. Moreover， some commonly used pharmaceutical excipients for the modification of TCM powders were also introduced such as maltodextrin， microcrystalline cellulose and povidone. In addition， spray drying technology can also be used as a preparation technology for new drug delivery systems such as microcapsules and solid dispersions. Through the summary of this paper， the author suggests that the future research direction of spray drying of TCM can be carried out from the aspects of application rule of the coprocessing auxiliary materials based on the "unification of medicines and excipients"， the "structure-property" relationship of spray-dried powders and the application of computer simulation and design， so as to further enrich the application of spray drying in the field of TCM powders.

RESUMEN
The prescription and technology of pharmaceutical preparations are the basis for ensuring the quality and efficacy of medicines. Pharmaceutical excipients are important part of pharmaceutical preparations. As it's known to all that some pharmaceutical excipients can affect the activity of CYP3A, and then may influence the metabolism and bioavailability of its substrates in vivo. Relative bioavailability is a key element of generic drug research in China and the United States. Our country is advancing the quality and efficacy consistency evaluation of generic drugs. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to understand the impact of pharmaceutical excipients on CYP3A and its guiding role in consistency evaluation.
RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the effect of surfactants on contact angle of pharmaceutical excipients and further study the effect of surfactants at different concentrations on the wettability of excipients and the effect of of surfactants and excipients at different proportions on the wettability of tablets. Methods:Different kinds of excipients were selected for tabletting,and surfactant solutions at different concentrations were prepared. The contact angle of the solutions on the surface of the tablets was measured by a contact angle tester. Results:The contact angle between the surfactants below the critical micelle concentrations and the tablets was the smallest and the wettability was the best. The change of the contact angle on the tablets with hydrophilic materials was less than that with hydropho-bic ones for most of the surfactants at the same concentration. Conclusion:After the addition of surfactants,the contact angle of excip-ient tablets significantly decreases, however, the contact angle will be stable after the amount of surfactants reaches a certain ratio, which shows significant reference value for tablet formula design.
