The thesis also deals with the stress relaxation test. The stress relaxation test, its evaluation by several methods and its use in the pharmacy and in different fields are described. The experimental part deals with viscoelastic characteristics of the mixtures. These characteristics were evaluated by stress relaxation test with maximal compression force 10 kN and dwell time 180 s. Also the tensile strength was evaluated.

Brunettová, Monika ; Šklubalová, Zdeňka (advisor) ; Mužíková, Jitka (referee)
Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of: Pharmaceutical Technology Consultant: Doc. PharmDr. Šklubalová Zdeňka, Ph.D. Student: Brunettová Monika Title of Thesis: Determination of flow properties of mixtures for preparation of tablets containing theophylline The aim of this diploma thesis was to characterize the flow properties and moisture content of mixtures for preparation of tablets containing theophylline. Parameters were monitored depending mainly on the content of the fillers, that were dicalcium phosphate, microcrystalline cellulose and lactose. Twenty-five prepared mixtures with different ratios of these fillers were evaluated. Flowability was evaluated by three methods stated in Czech Pharmacopoeia 2009 - compressibility index and Hausner ratio, flow through an orifice and angle of repose. Moisture content was evaluated as a weight loss during drying. Mixtures containing dicalcium phosphate and lactose proved more appropriate in terms of flowability, their flow properties are passable. However, according to the moisture content, mixture with microcrystalline cellulose are more preferable.

Evaluation of tensile strength of tablets containing theophylline
Janoutová, Hana ; Šklubalová, Zdeňka (advisor) ; Ondrejček, Pavel (referee)
Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmaceutical Technology Consultant: Doc. PharmDr. Zdeňka Šklubalová, Ph.D. Student: Hana Janoutová Title of Thesis: Evaluation of tensile strength of tablets containing theophylline The aim of this thesis was to determine tensile strength of tablets containing theophylline. Tensile strength was studied as a function of the composition of mixtures of the used fillers and especially on their ratio. In the theoretical part, the used materials - lactose SpheroLac 100, microcrystalline cellulose Comprecel 102, dibasic calcium phosphate dihydrate Di-Cafos D160, anhydrous dibasic calcium phosphate Di-Cafos A150, theophylline and magnesium stearate are described. This work also evaluates force-displacement record, tensile strength and various factors that affect tensile strength. Parameters of force-displacement record and tensile strength of the tablets compressed with compresssion force 10 kN were evaluated in the experimental part. The measured results show that higher values of precompression energy (E1) and energy of plastic deformation (E2) were detected in mixtures A, C and E which contain Comprecel 102, and the lowest values were detected in mixtures B which contain Sphero-Lac 100 and Di-Cafos D160. Values of energy...

Brtnová, Soňa ; Šklubalová, Zdeňka (advisor) ; Mužíková, Jitka (referee)
Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of: Pharmaceutical Technology Thesis supervisor: Doc. PharmDr. Zdeňka Šklubalová, Ph.D. Consultant: Mgr. Pavel Ondrejček Student: Soňa Brtnová Title of Thesis: Evaluation of disintegration time of tablets containing theophylline The influence of used fillers on energetic profile of compression, especially influence on disintegration time of tablets with theophylline as a model drug, was studied in this thesis. Four tablet fillers were studied - microcrystalline cellulose Comprecel 102, lactose SpheroLac 100, calcium hydrogen phosphate anhydrous Di- Cafos A150 and calcium hydrogen phosphate dihydrate Di-Cafos D160. Tablets contained different proportion of two fillers, theophylline as a model drug and lubricant magnesium stearate. Tablets were compressed by the same compaction force 10 kN. The force- displacement record was evaluated using the particular energies of compaction process. Parameters of compaction process were influenced mostly by Comprecel 102. According to results there is no possibility to replace Di-Cafos D160 with Di-Cafos A150 in the mixtures. It was also found that SpheroLac 100 and Di-Cafos D160 shows similar behavior. Time of disintegration of tablets is mostly dependent on the used fillers. Tablets...

Evaluation of compressibility of tableting mixtures containing theophylline using a compaction equation
Matyášová, Andrea ; Šklubalová, Zdeňka (advisor) ; Svačinová, Petra (referee)
Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department: Department of Pharmaceutical Technology Consultant: Doc. PharmDr. Zdeňka Šklubalová, Ph.D. Student: Andrea Matyášová Title of Thesis: Evaluation of compressibility of tableting mixtures containing theophylline using a compaction equation This thesis is aimed at the evaluation and comparison of excipients used in production of tablets. The compaction process of these excipients was evaluated using the parameters of the compaction equation. The mixtures of four fillers in various ratios were evaluated. These mixtures contained also theophylline as model drug and magnesium stearate as lubricant. The used three-exponential equation was previously developed by doc. RNDr. Milan Řehula, CSc. By using this compaction equation the volume reductions, speeds of volume reductions and consumed energies were calculated and evaluated. The results of this work showed that particular used fillers have different effect on the compaction process flow. That is caused primarily by different behavior of these materials during compaction and by formation of different types of bonds. Also the need of thorough cleaning and drying of compaction aid before compaction was confirmed.

Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradci Králové Department of Pharmaceutical technology Consultant: PharmDr. Pavel Ondrejček, Ph.D. Student: Kateřina Vávrová Title of Thesis: Dissolution testing of tablets containing theophylline and mixtures of two types of calcium hydrogen phosphates and microcrystalline cellulose The aim of this thesis was the dissolution testing of tablets containing theophylline, the mixture of two dicalcium phosphate types and microcrystalline cellulose. The influence of tablet composition on the dissolution profiles was evaluated. The tablets were prepared from the mixtures containing microcrystalline cellulose, dicalcium phosphate anhydrous and dihydrate. These substances were used as fillers. Prepared mixtures contained theophylline as a model active ingredient and magnesium stearate as lubricant. Afterwards, the dissolution tests were done. For these tests, the basket method was utilized. As a dissolution medium the 0,1M hydrochloric acid solution was used. From the results of this experiment we concluded that we can influence the total amount of released theophylline and the speed of its release by the different ratio of microcrystalline cellulose and one of dicalcium phosphate types. The fastest theophylline dissolution was in tablets with high...

The experimental part of thesis deals with the elastic recovery of tablets. The tablets were compressed by compression strength 10 kN and the height and diameter were measured after 0, 3, 6 and 24 hours after compressing. The elastic recovery of tablets was calculated from these values. The dimensions of tablets at the maximal compression strength 10 kN were used as the initial values. From results is obvious that the highest elastic recovery is...
