압출성형공법을 이용한 수삼의 전처리를 통한 추출수율의 향상과 최적조건에서 열수 추출한 인삼추출액의 첨가량을 달리하여 저온압출공정으로 제조한 구형과립의 입자분포, 마모율, 용적밀도, 진동밀도, 압축지수와 용출패턴을 결정하였다. 열수추출수율에서 수삼을 압출성형할 때 수분함량이 가장 유의적으로 영향을 미쳤다. 수분함량의 감소와 함께 스크류 회전속도가 증가할수록 압출성형 수삼의 추출수율이 크게 증가하였다. 추출수율이 최대가 되는 압출성형 공정변수는 수분함량 15%, 스크류 회전속도 250 rpm, 사출구 부위온도 13$0^{\circ}C$였다. 동일한 추출조건에서 15개 압출성형 수삼 시료의 평균 추출수율(43.5%)은 홍삼(38.3%)과 백삼(29.0%) 추출수율과 비교하여 크게 향상되었다. 저온압출공정으로 압출성형 수삼농축액(고형분함량 59.2%)의 농도를 5, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60%로 각각 증류수에 희석한 용액 200 mL과 200 g 미세결정 셀룰로오즈를 이용하여 과립화시킬 수 있는 압출성형 수삼추출액의 최대 농도는 60%였으며 추출액의 증가와 함께 입자수율의 증가, 마모율의 감소, 압출지수의 감소 등으로 입자의 물리적 특성은 구형과립을 젤라틴 캡슐에 포장하여 제품화할 수 있었다. 또한 압출성형 수삼 추출액을 포함한 구형과립으로부터 농축액 성분이 10분 이내에 쉽게 용출되므로 구형과립은 젤라틴 캡슐에 적합하다는 결론을 내릴 수가 있었다.

Pellets, which are multiple-unit dosage systems, have the several therapeutic advantages over single-unit dosage systems in oral drug delivery. This review focuses on the current status and explores extrusion-spheronization technique with special attention to controlled-release application of pellets including coated pellets for delayed release formulations, coated pellets for colon delivery, coated pellets for sustained drug delivery, sustained-release matrix pellets, pellets compressed into tablets, bioadhesive pellets, floating pellets, and pelletization with solubilization techniques.

Extrusion-spheronization processing combination was used to produce spherical granules with experimental formulations which contain microcrystalline cellulose as a diluent. The produced granules were compared on the basis of the following physical properties ; (a) bulk density, (e) porosity, (f) friabillity and (g) dissolution rate. With the specific experimental formulations used in this study, the increased plate rotational speeds of Marumerizer (400-1200rpm) produced continually more spherical material and also the obtained data indicated that the particle size distribution and dissolution rate depend upon the amount of microcrystalline cellulose used. As a result, the spherical granule preparation with microcrystalline cellulose has good properties in flow rate, packing propertyu and friability and offers a suitable method of granule preparation in pharmaceutical industry.

Beads loaded with the water-soluble drug, phenylpropanolamine HCl (PPA), were prepared using an extruder and double arm counter-rotating roller modified from a traditional pill machine. The mean diameter of the cylindrical rod-like extrudate from the ram extruder was 3 mm; that of the uncoated bead after cutting and spheronization by the modified double arm counter-rotating roller was 3.26~3.28 mm. Although the surface of the beads was moderately rough and irregular, some exhibited hump-shaped protrusions, the sphericity was acceptable (roundness 1.15) and adequate for the subsequent coating process. An increase in mean diameter of the coated beads and improvements in friability and sphericity were observed in proportion to the amount of coating material applied (ethylcellulose or Eudragit？？ RS 100). It was also found that the release rate of PPA from the coated beads could be controlled by the amount and type of coating materials applied or with the incorporation of Eudragit ？？ RS 100 into the core matrix. Further modifications to the double arm counter-rotating roller, including adjustment of the rotation speed and distance between the rollers, would yield smaller uncoated beads with improved roundness and surface roughness. In conclusion , the present method could be potentially applied to prepare controlled release drug delivery beads or pellet dosage forms.

Extrusion-Spheronization Processing (ESP) was applied to preparate sustained release spherical particles as a form of matrix spherical particle (MSP). dl-methylephedrine HCI (ME) was the drug chosen and several dissolution retardants and binders were selected to estimate a relatively good formulation on this purpose. The effect of physicochemical nature, concentration, and solvents of these dissolution retardants and binders on regularity in shape of MSP and in vitro release rate was investigated. The effect of Particle size of matrix particles was also evaluated. It is, therefore, concluded that this ESP would be a relatively good preparation method of sustained release MSP of ME which has the sustained action of about 5 and 8 hours by formulating of ethylcellulose and ethylcellulose-paraffin as a dissolution retardant, respectively, and then ethylcellulose solution of 80% EtOH is recommended as a binder.

In order to evaluate the effect of poloxamer 407 content on the dissolution profiles of pellets, diltiazem HCl (DTL) core pellets were prepared with poloxamer 407 (50-90% w/w, with lactose as filler) using an extruder and a spheronizer. Any possible interaction between the drug and excipients was evaluated using DSC, IR and TLC. Dissolution tests were performed using USP basket method. In addition, scanning electron micrograph was performed to examine the surface roughness and cross sections. The release of DTL from the core pellets was decreased with increasing poloxamer 407 content. Cracks appeared on the surface of the core pellets with increasing the poloxamer 407 content, which may play a role on the retardation of the release of DTL from core pellets. There was no any significant interaction between the drug and excipients employed to prepare the core pellets.
