A study was conducted to examine the ability of four disintegrants mixed with granules consisting of 5% acidified yeast cell wall (AYC), used as a binder during granulation, and acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) as a model drug to further decrease disintegration rates.The D50 value of ASA granulated with 5% AYC was approx. 80 μm.The mixture of the granules and 10% disintegrant was compressed into tablets at 100 MPa by external lubrication.NS300 (CM-cellulose) is hydrophilic but has low swelling ability and plays a role in absorbing water into tablets and is called wicking type.The disintegration time of tablets containing 10% NS300 compressed at 100 MPa in the mouths of 5 healthy adult volunteers was measured.Complete disintegration was achieved at 20.2, 20.5, 19.9, 16.6, and 23.1 s, resp.These results showed that these features afford high utility as an oral drug delivery system.
