The gummi base, investigated demonstrates a color change (browning) during long periods of storage, which is considered to be caused by the Maillard reaction between sugars and gelatin. This change poses a problem in guaranteeing the quality of pharmaceutical medicines in hospital. Therefore, the starch syrup and sugar, components which caused the browning reaction in the gummi base, were replaced by hydrogenated maltose starch syrup which has no aldehyde as a functional group in the structure. The new gummi base using hydrogenated maltose starch syrup displayed fewer color changes than the gummi base so far at 35°C for 2 months. These results suggest that replacing the sugar in the gummi base by sugar alcohol increases the stabilization in the appearance of the gummi base during long periods of storage while still maintaining suitable sweetness and texture.

Orally disintegrating tablets (ODTs) are currently widely used in drug therapy and are clinically attractive, because they are suitable for administration to patients with dysphagia and improve adherence, both of which increase the possibility of achieving the expected therapeutic effect. These properties of ODTs, which increase treatment effectiveness, are termed their “clinical functionality”, and ODTs with a high clinical functionality are required to meet the increasing need for these tablets. For example, there is a need for development of a clinically effective ODT with superior disintegrating properties while maintaining high tablet strength, bioequivalence with normal tablets while masking the bitterness with a fine particle coating, and a disintegration mechanism while maintaining moisture resistance and good storage quality. Thus, next-generation ODTs that overcome these conflicting properties, “trade-offs”, will be developed, using innovative formulation research technology. In this symposium, we will discuss a next-generation OD formulation known as PLETAAL OD, a high-dose antiplatelet agent, and will present the results of validation tests performed in our laboratory pertaining to high tablet strength, superior disintegration property, high wicking capacity, and storage stability with high moisture resistance. We will also introduce a second-generation antihistamine ALLELOCK OD and discuss its high clinical functionality achieved by masking the bitterness and obtaining bioequivalence with normal tablets by using granules while maintaining high tablet strength with EXLUB and SOLBLET technology.
