Soukupová, Jana ; Šnejdrová, Eva (advisor) ; Šklubalová, Zdeňka (referee)
CHARLES UNIVERSITY Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Kralove Department of Pharmaceutical Technology Name: Jana Soukupova Title of diploma thesis: Adhesive properties of thin layers based on plasticized polyesters Supervisor: PharmDr. Eva Snejdrova, Ph.D. This diploma thesis deals with rheological, adhesive and dissolution properties of thin layers based on the branched polyester of D,L- lactic acid and glycolic acid, plasticized with methyl- salicylate, and loaded with salicylic acid. The theoretical section describes bioadhesion, its mechanism and theories, in vitro adhesive tests focused mainly on the method of rheological synergism, tensile and "wash off" tests. In the experimental section, the flow properties of plasticized polyesters, hydrated mucin from porcin stomach, and their mixtures were studied using absolute rotational rheometer. The analysis of the viscosity curves revealed that plasticized polyesters are Newtonian systems, mucin and its mixtures with polymer have pseudoplastic behaviour. Adhesive properties of the thin layers were established by equation of rheological synergism based on viscosity of polymer, mucin and their mixtures measured at shear rate of 10 s-1 . The adhesive properties of thin layers were also determined using tensile test on rheometer, and evaluated as the...

Paris, Tereza ; Svačinová, Petra (advisor) ; Šklubalová, Zdeňka (referee)
Charles University, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department od: Pharmaceutical Technology Consultant: PharmDr. Petra Svačinová, Ph.D. Student: Tereza Paris Title of Thesis: Evaluation of compressibility of granular powders and tableting mixtures with the high content of active substance This thesis deals with the evaluation of compressibility of granular powder and tableting mixtures with high drug content. Eleven batches of tablet formulations with different type of filler - microcrystalline cellulose or lactose and different type of extragranular disintegrants - sodium croscarmellose or crospovidone in concentrations of 2 %, 3,7 % or 5,4 % and two granular powders with only different type of filler were prepared by two methods. The first method was used to prepare tablets with the same height and the second method to prepare tablets with the same porosity as the oval tablets made from identical tableting mixtures. The compressibility was evaluated using the force-displacement method parameters and volumetric elastic recovery. Another tested parameter was tensile strength and, for one group of tablets, also porosity. The obtained results show that both, the type of filler and the type of extragranular disintegrant, had an effect on the force-displacement method parameters especially at...

Charles University, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of: Pharmaceutical Technology Mentor: doc. PharmDr. Zdeňka Šklubalová, Ph.D. Consultant: PharmDr. Sylva Klovrzová, Ph.D. Student: Mgr. Romana Kadlecová Title od Thesis: The use of Turbula® mixer in homogenization of a mixture of drug with the AmylFarm® filler for the preparation of oral powders in Pharmacy In this experimental work, the influence of container loading and homogenization time on the content uniformity of divided oral powders mixed in a Turbula T2F mixer was investigated. The speed of mixer 49 rpm was constant. The powder mixtures containing 20 mg of the active substance propranolol-hydrochloride in the AmylFarm filler were prepared in three volumes 37 ml, 74 ml and 111 ml, corresponding to the 100, 200 and 300 capsules, respectively. The results were compared with the conventional mixing using a mortar and pestle. The insignificant difference in homogeneity of mixtures prepared by both methods was proved. The optimum mixing time in a rotary mixer was 10 minutes for a 37 ml mixture, and 15 minutes for the larger mixture volumes 74 and 111 ml.

Dunlap, Brooke Alexandra ; Šklubalová, Zdeňka (advisor) ; Svačinová, Petra (referee)
Charles University, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradci Králové Department of: Pharmaceutical Technology Supervisor: Assoc. Prof. Zdenka Šklubalová, Ph.D. Consultant: Sebastien Bailey Student: Brooke Alexandra Dunlap Title of Thesis: The influence of micronized poloxamer on the flow and compaction of a model tableting mixture Lubricants are an important excipient used in the production of tablets, they facilitate powder flow during manipulation, prevent powder sticking to the press during compression, and aid in tablet ejection. In this thesis the effect of four different concentrations 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 % w/w of micronized Poloxamer 188 on a model tableting mixture consisting of a 1:1 ratio of Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) and Lactose (L) was tested to determine its effectiveness as a lubricant for tablet manufacturing. Flow through an orifice, angle of repose, Hausner ratio, compressibility index, dynamics of consolidation, and powder bed porosity were tested. There was no increase in flowability of the powder at any concentration of P188 in any test used, all mixtures showed poor or very poor flow behaviour. Compression process was evaluated according to the force displacement method at three different compression forces (5 kN, 7 kN, 10 kN) and special attention was paid to ejection force. P188 is an...

The effect of solvent on disintegration time of liquisolid systems in the form of capsules
Helerová, Ladislava ; Vraníková, Barbora (advisor) ; Šklubalová, Zdeňka (referee)
Charles University, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of: Pharmaceutical Technology Mentor: doc. PharmDr. Barbora Vraníková, Ph.D. Consultant: MSc. Andreas Niederquell Student: Ladislava Helerová Title of Thesis: The effect of solvent on disintegration time of liquisolid systems in the form of capsules According to the literature, the resulting liquisolid (LS) powders may be formulated into the form of tablets, pellets or hard gelatine capsules. However, the available resources about liquisolid systems do not consider possible interactions between the used excipients and capsule shell. Carriers can adsorb the water from the gelatine capsule and hence cause its brittleness, while the solvent can penetrate the capsule shell and thereby affects its integrity and properties. For these reasons, LS capsules containing mixtures of the carrier Neusilin® US2 (NUS2) with different amounts of propylene glycol (PG), polysorbate 80 (PS 80) or the cyclosporine A (CysA) dispersions in these solvents were prepared and tested. The disintegration time in three dissolution media, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and infrared spectroscopy (IR) were evaluated to study the changes in the capsule properties. The obtained results showed that the disintegration time of LS capsules was prolonged...

Charles University, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of: Pharmaceutical Technology Candidate: Mgr. Jana Jezerská Supervisor: doc. PharmDr. Zdeňka Šklubalová, Ph.D. Consultant: Ing. Jakub Koktan, Ph.D. Title of Doctoral Thesis: Utilization of technological procedures of milling and co-milling in the preparation of interactive mixtures The dissertation thesis is an annotated summary of the publication and research activities of the author, Mgr. Jana Jezerská (maiden name Brokešová). The thesis is focused on the preparation of binary interactive powder mixtures which consist of the micronized drug particles adhered onto the larger particles of an excipient (a carrier). The binary powder mixtures were prepared by mixing and/or co-milling and characterized by granulometric methods; crystallinity (thermal analysis, X-ray powder diffractometry), the flow properties (shear cell, avalanche properties) and the surface energy were evaluated as well. The dissolution rate of model drugs was estimated using a flow-through powder dissolution cell (USP-4). The used statistical model (central composite design) enabled to establish optimal milling conditions in a ball mill (the milling speed, the milling time, the size of milling balls) for five powder carriers. Based on quadratic response surface,...

Charles University, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of: Pharmaceutical Technology Supervisor: Consultants: Assoc. Prof. PharmDr. Zdeňka Šklubalová, Ph.D. Mgr. Jana Brokešová, Mgr. Daniel Pěček Student: Miroslav Ouzký Title of Thesis: Study of excipientsʼ influence on the drug dissolution from tablets The aim of this work was to study the influence of excipients on the dissolution of the high-dose active substance from tablets. The tablets were compressed from the granules prepared by wet-granulation method. 11 batches of tablets which contained two different fillers: either lactose or microcrystalline cellulose, respectively; and extragranularly added disintegrant: either croscarmellose or crospovidone, respectively, in three concentration levels of 2 %, 3,7 % or 5,4 % were prepared. Tablets were packed into aluminium/PVC blisters. The paddle dissolution test was used to determine the release of the active substance into phospate buffer pH 7,2 at the time of preparation (time 0) and at the time points 1.5, 3 and 6 months of stability assay at 40 řC and 75 % relative air humidity. The results show that the drug release from tablets containing microcrystalline celulose was generally faster than from those containing lactose. The same was true for tablets to which croscarmellose was...
