Comments:
1. If the API is moisture sensitive /hygroscopic, then aqueous granulating agent
is not advisable because it may degrade API by hydrolysis/oxidation
If the given API is heat sensitive then drying is necessary which can be
achieved non-aqueous granulation easily.
2. In the formulation where the wet granulation method is only advisable
method when choice of granulating agent is critical depending on the
sensitivity of API.
3. In present study, the effect of aqueous and non- aqueous binder solution on
stability of moisture sensitive API is investigated by key parameters like
content and dissolution profile.
NOTE: The formulation characterizes after 6-8 hours of the formulation.
The observations show that the hydrophobic granulating agent for the moisture
sensitive API is important as binding agent which increase the stability of
formulation.
