Data granulation is considered a good tool of decision making in various types of real life applications. The basic ideas of data granulation have appeared in many fields, such as interval analysis, quantization, rough set theory, Dempster-Shafer theory of belief functions, divide and conquer, cluster analysis, machine learning, databases, information retrieval, and many others. Some new topolo...

In the following study starch was isolated from the dried pulp of unripe pappaya fruit (Carica pappaya). The isolated starch was used as a binder in different concentrations in diclofenac sodium tablets. The tablets were formed by wet granulation method by using 2% w/v, 4% w/v, 6% w/v, 8% w/v and 10% w/v pappaya starch as binding agent. Formulated diclofenac sodium tablets were further evaluate...

This study was undertaken to explore gum from Bombax buonopozense calyxes as a binding agent in formulation of immediate release dosage forms using wet granulation method. The granules were characterized to assess the flow and compression properties and when compressed, non-compendial and compendial tests were undertaken to assess the tablet properties for tablets prepared with bombax gum in co...

pis africana (Mimosaceae) is widely used in the northern part of Nigeria for the treatment and management of asthma. Preliminary investigations of its pharmacological activities justify its use in folk medicine (1). Urgent need for the development of systems and methods for standardization of traditional medicine has led to the formulation of the extract into tablets using the wet granulation m...

In waterjet and laser milling, material is removed from a solid surface in a succession of layers to create a new shape, in a depth-controlled manner. The inverse problem consists of defining the control parameters, in particular, the two-dimensional beam path, to arrive at a prescribed freeform surface. Waterjet milling (WJM) and pulsed laser ablation (PLA) are studied in this paper, since a g...

Efavirenz (EFV) tablets of different doses were prepared by a wet granulation process using different superdisintegrants such as crosscarmellose sodium (CCS), sodium starch glycollate (SSG) and crosspovidone (CP) to evaluate the role of different disintegrants on the in vitro release of EFV. Further, the mode of addition of disintegrants on EFV dissolution from tablets containing 600 mg of the ...

Using enalapril maleate as a test case, the ability of ambient mass spectrometry, namely, via easy ambient sonic-spray ionization mass spectrometry (EASI-MS), to perform direct monitoring of drug degradation has been tested. Two manufacturing processes were investigated (direct compression and wet granulation), and the formation of degradation products was measured via both EASI-MS and high-per...

To examine newly developed single-unit of oral sustained release dosage form Simvastatin (SS) have been prepared by the wet granulation method. The hydrophilic matrix was prepared with xanthan gum with additives MCC PH101. On the in vitro drug release was studied. The studies indicated that the drug release can be modulated by varying the concentration of the polymer and fillers. Various pharma...
