説明

The purpose of this study is to propose the application of a compression test to the determination of an optimal formulation for extrusion granulation. The electric current during extrusion was measured and the characteristics of the wet kneaded mass in the compression test were analyzed under various operating conditions, with different types of extruders and several formulations of kneaded mass. It was found that addition of a binder (HPC-L) to pharmaceutical powders lowered the load of a high-compressing type extruder, since the binder reduced the friction among the wet mass during extrusion. Also, the support stress was found to be proportional to the compression pressure without a binder, although an inflection point appeared on the support stress curve when a binder was present. This inflection point suggested large water retention of the wet kneaded mass, at which the medium of pressure was changed from a discontinuous solid powder to a continuous liquid, and large water retention contributed to the low friction of the wet mass. The friction of the wet kneaded mass and the aptitude of the formulation for extrusion were understood by using the compression test. The compression test is a very useful procedure at the first stage of a formulation study.
