The SeDeM diagram expert system (DES) determines the suitability of excipients and active ingredients for Direct Compression and the ratio of API to excipient is calculated. The DC is most suitable as it saves time and makes process easy, but these technique excipients compensate for their poor flow. Thus, a new system was required to help reduce number of experiments and time for making an optimized direct compression tablet. 

This review mainly focuses on various dosage forms like Solid, Semisolid, Liquisolid, and Solidified liquid dosage forms. These techniques mainly characterize all substances using 12 parameters, resulting 12-sided regular polygon.

External lubrication is a highly valuable alternative lubrication method as it minimizes the negative impact on tablet properties encountered when using internal lubrication. In current study, experiments were performed with automated external lubrication systems implemented in a compaction simulator and rotary tablet press using three lubricants (magnesium stearate (MgSt), sodium stearyl fumarate (SSF) and glyceryl dibehenate (DBHG)).

In conclusion, the potential of external lubrication for implementation on production scale tableting equipment and during scale-up was demonstrated for multiple lubricants.
