Carboxymethylcellulose: Effect of Degree of Polymerization and Substitution on Tablet Disintegration and Dissolution

Highly polymerized grades of carboxymethylcellulose sodium serve effectively as disintegrating agents for tablets. The preferred disintegrants have a high degree of polymerization with a small number of carboxymethyl groups. Grades with a low degree of polymerization are poor disintegrating agents i...

Zusammenfassung:Highly polymerized grades of carboxymethylcellulose sodium serve effectively as disintegrating agents for tablets. The preferred disintegrants have a high degree of polymerization with a small number of carboxymethyl groups. Grades with a low degree of polymerization are poor disintegrating agents irrespective of their degree of substitution. The dissolution rates of sulfamethoxazole tablets correlated with the disintegration times.
