OBJECTIVE: To investigate the taste-masking effect of montelukast sodium orally disintegrating tablets using electronic tongue technology and human sensory evaluation and determine the optimum formulation. METHODS: Orally disintegrating tablets were prepared with five different concentrations of flavoring agents or without flavoring agent.The tastes of those tablets were determined by electronic tongue, and principal component analysis and linear discriminant analysis were used to evaluate differences of different formulations. The taste-masking effect of the tablets was investigated combined with electronic tongue analysis and sensory evaluation of subjects. RESULTS: The taste of orally disintegrating tablet was the best when the total amount of flavoring agent was 1.6 mg, and the ratio of sweetening agent to aromatic agent was 5∶3. CONCLUSION: The combination of electronic tongue and human sensory assess can evaluate the taste-masking effect of orally disintegrating tablets and provide the basis for determining the optimum formulation.

Résumé
There is no single-component excipient fulfills all the requisite performance to allow an active pharmaceutical ingredient to be formulated into a specific dosage form. Co-processed excipient has received much more attention in the formulation development of various dosage forms, specially for tablet preparation by direct compression method. The objective of this review is to discuss the emergence of co-processed excipients as a current and future trend of excipient technology in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Co-processing is a novel concept of combining two or more excipients that possess specific advantages that cannot be achieved using a physical admixture of the same combination of excipients. This review article discusses the advantages of co-processing, the need of co-processed excipient, general steps in developing co-processed excipient, limitation of co-processed excipient, technologies used in developing co-processing excipients, co-processed excipients in the literature, marketed products and future trends. With advantages offered by the upcoming newer combination of excipients and newer methods of co-processing, co-processed excipients are for sure going to gain attraction both from academia and pharmaceutical industry. Furthermore, it opens the opportunity for development and use of single multifunctional excipient rather than multiple excipients in the formulation.

ABSTRACT: Orally disintegrating tablets (ODTs) disintegrate rapidly in the mouth in seconds when placed at the tongue. The introduction of ODTs for dogs can address many needs, ranging from convenient dosing for dogs with dysphagia to extending life cycle of drugs. Now, different technologies are widely combined for developing ODTs. The combination makes ODTs have more properties, obtaining orally disintegrating sustained release tablets or orally disintegrating enteric tablets or enhancing the dissolution rate and bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs and so on. The aim of this article is to give a comprehensive prospect to the application of ODTs to dogs, including ideal properties of drugs, indications of ODTs, considerations in developing ODTs and development trends of ODTs for dogs.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the properties of co-processed excipient of mannitol and polyplasdone (Man-Cro) and apply it in direct compression of orally disintegrating tablets. METHODS: The physical and micromeritic properties of the co-processed excipient were compared with those of mannitol, polyplasdone, and physical mixture of the two compounds. The interaction between the two components was studied by using FT-IR, SEM, DSC and X-RD. The flowability and compressibility of the Man-Cro co-processed excipient were also compared with the two components by determining the angle of repose, bulk density, tap-density, Carl index and Kawakita's equation. The co-processed excipient was applied to prepare ibuprofen orally disintegrating tablets. The in vitro dissolution and bioavailability of the tablets were evaluated. RESULTS: The co-processed excipient of mannitol and polyplasdone formed novel aspheric particles after cocrystallization. The excipient showed good flowability, compressibility, filling ability and disintegrability. Compared with commercially available ibuprofen tablets, the ibuprofen orally disintegrating tablets prepared with the co-processed excipient had more rapid in vitro dissolution. And the homemade and commercially available preparations were bioequivalent in rats. CONCLUSION: The co-processed excipient is superior to physical mixture as drug carrier and suitable for preparation of orally disintegrating tablets by direct compression.
