Conceptualisation, Development, Fabrication and In Vivo Validation of a Novel Disintegration Tester for Orally Disintegrating Tablets

Abstract: Disintegration time is the key critical quality attribute for a tablet classed as an Orally Disintegrating Tablet (ODT). The currently accepted in vitro testing regimen for ODTs is the standard United States Pharmacopeia (USP) test for disintegration of immediate release tablets, which requires a large volume along with repeated submergence of the dosage form within the disintegration medium. The aim of this study was to develop an in vivo relevant ODT disintegrati… Show more

“…Higher gelatin to D-mannitol ratio in tablets has been observed to result in a longer disintegration time (37,38), although the basis of this effect was not investigated. The disintegration process starts by wetting (39) and FDT will be wetted by saliva and moisture absorbed from air, which has a humidity of 90 to 95% in the oral cavity (18). Moisture uptake is enhanced by higher gelatin concentrations in edible films due to the amorphous nature of this polymer (40).…”

“…Over the last 20 years, efforts have been made to design in-vitro procedures resembling the in-vivo disintegration environment of FDTs, such approaches have been based on texture analysis (TA) (13), CCD cameras (charged-coupled device) ( 14), Kyoto models (KYO) (15), charged-coupled devices (16), Tricorptesters (17) and the Aston test (18). There are limitations associated with all of the recent in-vitro Fig.…”

“…Furthermore, the Aston test was able to differentiate between different ODTs with small disintegration time windows, as well as between immediate release tablets and ODTs. As per the researchers, this newly developed Aston test provided higher correlations between ODT properties and disintegration time compared to the USP test method and resulted in a linear in vitro/in vivo correlation compared with a “hockey stick” profile of the USP test [ 60 ].…”
