How to process Methoxsalone in capsules?

How do you process Methoxypsoralone in capsules? The fabric is rather fluffy in texture and immediately burms together with other powder. Should be together with Alucol and Mg trisilicate in 1 capsule.

Answer

If the characteristics of the powder are not ideal for good mixing with other powders, the order of addition of the components of the composition can play a role. I would start by bringing half the amount of alucol into the mortar and rubbing it open. After that, 8-MOP is gradually added and mixed with Alucol. If the mixture does not go smoothly I would drip the blend into the mortar with 1 to 2 ml of ethanol under good stirring. Once the ethanol is nicely distributed, I would add the rest of the alucol and mix it with the moistened mass and then add Mgtrisilicate. The contents of the mortar are spread on a pure sheet of paper in order to allow the alcohol to evaporate. The dry mixture is still mixed in the mortar after a few moments.

I do not exclude that the humidification with ethanol does not have.
