   Contributor(s):: Phull, Manjinder Singh, Bohara, Chander Singh, Gundla, Rambabu, Mainkar, Prathama S., Jadav, Surender Singh

   Praziquantel (PZQ; Brand name: Biltricide) is categorized as an anthelminthic drug, and it is used for the treatment of Schistosomiasis and other parasitic infections. The World Health Organization (WHO) has classified it as one of the essential and emergency medicines needed across the globe....

2. Validation of a continuous granulation process using a twin-screw extruder

   out of 5 stars 

   Contributor(s):: Van Melkebeke, B., Vervaet, C., Remon, J. P.

   Using twin-screw granulation as particle size enlargement technique, the effect of modifying the screw configuration (number of mixing zones, configuration of kneading block) on granule quality, tablet properties and mixing efficiency was investigated. The amount of oversized agglomerates and...

3. Towards a Greener Pharmacy by More Eco Design

   out of 5 stars 

   Contributor(s):: Baron, M

   This review proposes an overview of the main trends explored by the pharmaceutical industry in order to develop a greener and smarter pharmacy minimizing any negative impact to the environment, and using more sustainable processes and drugs. If many drugs have their origin in nature, many active...

4. The Evolving State of Continuous Processing in Pharmaceutical API Manufacturing: A Survey of Pharmaceutical Companies and Contract Manufacturing Organizations

   out of 5 stars 

   Contributor(s):: McWilliams, JC, Allian, ADOpalka, SM, May, SA, Journet, M, Braden, TM

   This manuscript provides the results of an in-depth survey assessment of the capabilities, experience, and perspectives on continuous processing in the pharmaceutical sector, with respondents from both pharmaceutical companies and Contract Manufacturing Organizations (CMOs). The survey includes...

   out of 5 stars 

   Contributor(s):: Cole, Kevin, Groh, Jennifer McClary, Johnson, Martin D., Burcham, Christopher L., Campbell, Bradley M., Diseroad, William D., Heller, Michael R., Howell, John R., Kallman, Neil J., Koenig, Thomas M., May, Scott A., Miller, Richard D., Mitchell, David, Myers, David P., Myers, Steven S., Phillips, Joseph L., Polster, Christopher S., White, Timothy D., Cashman, Jim, Hurley, Declan, Moylan, Robert, Sheehan, Paul, Spencer, Richard D., Desmond, Kenneth, Desmond, Paul., Gowran, Olivia

   Advances in drug potency and tailored therapeutics are promoting pharmaceutical manufacturing to transition from a traditional batch paradigm to more flexible continuous processing. Here we report the development of a multistep continuous-flow CGMP (current good manufacturing practices) process...

6. Granulation development in batch-to-batch and continuous processes from a quality by design perspective

   out of 5 stars 

   Contributor(s):: Ko, Seung Jin, Lee, Ju-Hyun, Kang, Chin-Yang, Park, Jun-Bom

   The process of quality by design (QbD) is of great importance in drug development. This review describes the design of experiments (DoE) method, which is an important component of QbD. DoE is predominantly divided into a screening phase and an optimization phase. The screening phase uses...

7. Continuous, one-step synthesis of pharmaceutical cocrystals via hot melt extrusion from neat to matrix-assisted processing - State of the art

   out of 5 stars 

   Contributor(s):: Gajda, Maciej, Nartowski, Karol P., Pluta, Janusz, Karolewicz, Bożena

   Use of hot melt extrusion (HME) as continuous manufacturing process in the cocrystal synthesis is of increasing interest from both industrial and academic perspective and it is seen as a newly developing branch of mechanochemistry with possible broad application in single step synthesis and...

8. Breaking Through Barriers to Continuous Manufacturing
