DESC:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to method development to improve precompression parameter of phytoconstituents and process for preparation thereof. The present disclosure comprises processes to improvement in precompression parameters without using additives/ excipients/ chemicals. This invention further improves the therapeutical effect of dosage form by incorporating active ingredients instead of additives replaced by this process.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In Herbal, Botanical & Phytopharmaceutical industry, micromeritics properties include precompression parameters of standard raw material/ extract are not suitable for direct compression due to their high hygroscopic and amorphous nature. Gelatine capsule is not safe for long-term, and another drawback is dose dumping. Compressing a precise quantity of powder or granules to shape a uniform tablet has a challenge in pharmaceutical companies. Technical innovation in dosage modifying, target delivery and fast disintegration to 24 hours of release time able to set with or without additives by unique technology. For precise dose and to avoid weight variation, precompression parameter should be good and flowable as per pharmacopeial limits. Here with we develop a process to improve overall flow property parameters without adding excipients/ additives/chemicals/polymers. It’s a totally unique OEM process, economic, highest yield process. By these techniques almost 50% improvement is found in micromeritics, flow property, and precompression parameters. Standard phytochemical and modifying phytochemical studies for physical evaluation, characterization, and organoleptic evaluation, conclude that without interaction, tremendous improvement is found in all parameters listed in detail study.
The proposed process begins with the selection of appropriate raw materials, followed by rigorous characterization to assess their physical and chemical properties. Subsequently, optimization studies are conducted to identify the most suitable processing techniques and formulation strategies for improving precompression parameters. This may involve the use of advanced analytical tools such as particle size analyzers, powder rheometers, and moisture sorption analyzers to evaluate the impact of process variables on the properties of phytoconstituent powders. Finally, the optimized formulation and process parameters are validated through comprehensive studies including in vitro dissolution testing, stability testing, and pharmacokinetic evaluation to ensure the desired performance and quality of the final dosage forms.
The method development process involves a systematic investigation of various factors influencing precompression parameters of phytoconstituents. This includes optimization of particle size distribution through milling or micronization techniques, enhancement of flow properties using granulation or coating methods, and control of moisture content through drying or moisture equilibration processes. Furthermore, the development of novel excipients or formulation additives can aid in improving compressibility and lubrication properties, thus facilitating better tablet formation during compression.

Case Studies in Construction Materials (Volume 15, December 2021, e00575) Pre-compression and capillarity effect of treated expansive subgrade subjected to compressive and tensile loadings (Aneke, Frank Ikechukwu et al.) Pavement structures often are under tension and compression mobilised by the coupled effects of traffic loads and swelling stress. Seasonal moisture variations cause capillarity rise and volumetric movement within the subgrade. The objective of this investigation is to evaluate the pre-compression and capillarity effect of expansive subgrades stabilised with activated fly ash (a-FA), and sisal fibre, analysed for tensile and compressive strengths.

Koenig ex Roxb and their evaluation
OBJECTIVE OF INVENTION
Flow property is very important as a precompression parameters in pharmaceutical industry for manufacturing of tablet dosage form whether it is conventional or modifying. In phytopharmaceutical, Phytochemical/ Phytoconstituent are isolated/manufactured by different extraction process and then solidifying by spray drying, lyophilization, or by vacuum drying.
In drying steps, for uniform flow maltodextrin or dextrin (8-12%) should be added. Even after addition of maltodextrin as a lubricant, standard extract/ standard Phytochemical/ standard Phytoconstituent derive poor flow property. Hence difficult to incorporate in capsule and difficult to convert in tablet without an excipient or granulation process. In this invention, unique excipientless granulation with only aqueous phase developed to improve flow property (Micromeritics property) and precompression parameters. Post compression basic parameters also studied to confirm organoleptic, physical and uniformity of dosage form.

Precompression study
Bulk Density- It is the ratio of mass of the blend to bulk volume. It is measured by pouring powder in measuring cylinder and measuring the volume occupied by powder.
Bulk density is measured using following equation:
Bulk density = Mass/Volume
Tapped Density-Tapped density is the ratio of mass of the blend to tapped volume. It can be evaluated by mechanically tapping a measuring cylinder containing adequate gram of powder sample. After observing the initial volume, the cylinder is mechanically tapped, and volume reading can be taken after 100 tapping of powder.
Hausner’s ratio- Hausner’s ratio is measured using following equation:
Hausner’s ratio = Tapped density/ Bulk density
Carr’s Index- Carr’s Index is measured using following equation:
Carr’s Index = Tapped density – Bulk density/ Tapped density X 100
Table 1. Carr’s Index and Hausner’s ratio as an indication of powder flow
Type of flow Carr’s Index (%) Hausner’s Ratio

Poor 26 – 31 1.35 – 1.45
Very Poor 32 – 37 1.46 – 1.59
Extremely Poor >38 >1.60
Angle of Repose- The pile can be carefully built up by dropping the material through a funnel till the tip of the funnel (height, 2 cm) and measured the radius of the pile. The angle of repose is calculated by inversing tangentially the ratio of height and radius of the formed pile using following equation:
Angle of repose ? = tan-1 (h/r)
Where, h = Height of pile,
r = Radius of pile

Precompression parameters play an important role in tablet compaction and compression. Poor characteristics in density, particle size, and porosity is a drawback of tablet compression, hence weight variation, tablet capping, fragment, harness & friability issue will create in post compression parameters, it will directly connect with disintegration, dissolution to therapeutical effect of dose. Our invention comprises a process of unique granulation with distilled water with the same phytochemical. Ex- for Allicin, Standard allicin (0.1-0.5% w/v) concentration is selected for granulation fluid in Standard Allicin. Then mix it for 30-45 min. Wet mixed granules then convert to dry granules at 50-600 C in the tray dryer by passing it on sieve no-80-100. Add 1% of Talc in dry granules and mix it for 15-20 min. These granules characterized with standard phytochemicals by XRPD, FTIR, and DSC show no interaction found. Same process is done with other phytochemicals mentioned in the table.
