We attempted the development of rapid oral disintegration tablets by direct compression using co-ground mixture of D-mannitol and crospovidone. The co-ground mixture was prepared with a vibration rod mill. The tablets were formed by compression using a single punch-tableting machine after addition of the co-ground mixture to non-ground D-mannitol, crospovidone and magnesium stearate. Regarding the properties of tablets, hardness and the time of disintegration were measured. The particle diameter and specific surface area of the co-ground mixture were measured. The tablets manufactured from a physical mixture of 30% (w/w) co-ground mixture of D-mannitol and crospovidone (mixed ratio 9 :1) with 65.5% (w/w) of non-ground mannitol, 4% (w/w) of crospovidone, and 0.5% (w/w) of magnesium stearate had good properties for rapidly disintegrating tablets in the oral cavity. They showed the hardness of 4.9 kg and disintegration time of 33 s. We found that adding co-ground mixture of D-mannitol and crospovidone is useful in enhancing hardness of the tablets that could not be achieved by addition of their individually ground mixture. The improvement in the hardness of the tablets was also observed when other saccharides and disintegrants were used. This method was proved to be applicable in the manufacture of tables of ascorbic acid, a water-soluble drug and nifedipine, a slightly water soluble drug; and the dissolution rate of nifedipine from the tablets in water was remarkably improved. The particle sizes of D-mannitol in the co-ground mixture were smaller than that of the individually ground mixture, resulting in a larger specific surface area of the co-ground mixture than that of the individually ground mixture. Therefore, it was presumed that crospovidone acted as a grinding assistant for D-mannitol in the co-grinding process, enhancing the hardness of tablets by increasing the contact area among powder particles.
