Abstract
The knowledge of powder properties has been highlighted since the 19th century since most formulations focus on solid dosage forms, and powder flow is essential for various manufacturing operations. A poor powder flow may generate problems in the manufacturing processes and cause the plant's malfunction. Hence these problems should be studied and rectified beforehand by various powder flow techniques to improve and enhance powder flowability. The powder's physical properties can be determined using compendial and non-compendial methods. The non-compendial practices generally describe the powder response under the stress and shear experienced during their processing. The primary interest of the current report is to summarize the flow problems and enlist the techniques to eliminate the issues associated with the powder's flow properties, thereby increasing plant output and minimizing the production process inconvenience with excellent efficiency. In this review, we discuss powder flow and its measurement techniques and mainly focus on various approaches to improve the cohesive powder flow property.

Abstract
As a result of its higher molecular mobility, the surface of an amorphous drug can grow crystals much more rapidly than the bulk, causing poor stability and slow dissolution of drug products. We show that a nanocoating of chitosan (a pharmaceutically acceptable polymer) can be deposited on the surface of amorphous indomethacin by electrostatic deposition, leading to significant improvement of physical stability, wetting by aqueous media, dissolution rate, powder flow, and tabletability. The coating condition was chosen so that the positively charged polymer deposits on the negatively charged drug. Chitosan coating is superior to gelatin coating with respect to stability against crystallization and agglomeration of coated particles.

Abstract
A series of novel fenofibric acid ester prodrugs 1c-1h were synthesized and evaluated with the aim of obtaining potent hypolipidemic agents. Prodrugs 1c and 1d exhibited potent hypochlolesterolemic activity, lowering the mice plasma triglyceride level up to 47% in Swiss albino mice after oral administration of 50 mg/kg/day for 8 days. Fenofibric acid ester prodrugs 1c-1h were found lipophilic like fenofibrate (1b), indicated by partition coefficients measured in octanol-buffer system at pH 7.4. On the basis of in vivo studies, prodrugs 1c and 1d emerged as potent hypolipidemic agents.

Abstract
We nano-coated powdered lactose particles with the enzyme beta-galactosidase using an ultrasound-assisted technique. Atomization of the enzyme solution did not change its activity. The amount of surface-attached beta-galactosidase was measured through its enzymatic reaction product D-galactose using a standardized method. A near-linear increase was obtained in the thickness of the enzyme coat as the treatment proceeded. Interestingly, lactose, which is a substrate for beta-galactosidase, did not undergo enzymatic degradation during processing and remained unchanged for at least 1 month. Stability of protein-coated lactose was due to the absence of water within the powder, as it was dry after the treatment procedure. In conclusion, we were able to attach the polypeptide to the core particles and determine precisely the coating efficiency of the surface-treated powder using a simple approach.
