NIPTEQbD Approach to Formulation Optimization
The original HPC grade (Klucel EXF, fine PSD) was sensitive to
small changes in water content (lacking robustness)
A second HPC grade (Klucel EF, larger PSD) was more robust.
Similar PSDs were achieved using Klucel EF at 5.5% water as
with Klucel EXF at 2.5%.Comparing Granule PSD Produced from
Different HPC Grades
Particle size distribution
Granules formed with EF and 5.5% water were similar to
granules formed with EXF and 2.5% water

« Residual moisture stabilizes granules and
blends from lactam formation
— Some residual moisture is good to decrease
lactam formation, but too much residual moisture
has flow and hardness consequences, which
could result in content uniformity and
disintegration problems.
¢ High temperature drying results in higher
lactam formation.
— There was no improvement in efficiency by drying
at higher temperatures due to increased cooling
times, so low temperature drying is optimum.
