FORMULATION FORUM – Amorphous Nanoparticles for Drug Delivery of Poorly Water-Soluble Compounds
Jim Huang, PhD, says a thorough understanding of their amorphous stabilization and nano colloidal properties in relationship to in-vitro and in-vivo performance will help advance this interesting dosage form into human clinical testing and commercialization.
EXECUTIVE INTERVIEW – Quotient Sciences: Unique Considerations & Challenges When Developing Palatable Pediatric Formulations
Nazim Kanji, Executive Director, Pediatric Services at Quotient Sciences, discusses the unique considerations and challenges when developing palatable pediatric formulations, so that molecules can become cures, fast.
DRUG DELIVERY – CAPRO(TM): A New Advance in Polymeric Drug Delivery
Bob Wieden and Chun Wang, PhD, discuss how significant challenges, coupled with the complexity and diversity of new pharmaceuticals, have fueled the development of a novel polymeric drug delivery platform that overcomes a great many bioavailability and delivery obstacles.
HOT MELT EXTRUSION – API Bioavailability: Suspending Hydrophobic Drugs in a Solid Solution
Ameya Deshpande, MS, says for APIs that are compatible with HME, careful attention to the formulation quality attributes that include excipient selection, dosage form design, analytical testing, and stability are required to maximize the efficacy and quality of the final product.
FORMULATION FORUM – Nanosuspension Dosage Forms: Product Development & Scale Up
In this month’s column on formulation development challenges, Jim Huang, PhD, discusses nanosuspensions prepared via the top-down process, ie, the wet milling process.
FORMULATION FORUM – Considerations in Formulation Development of Injectable Solutions
Jim Huang, PhD, reviews how injectable solutions offer an attractive alternative to oral dosage form due to fast onset, reproducible PK/efficacy profile, high bioavailability as a result of bypassing the oral absorption barrier, and suitability of administration under hospital setting.
Where Do We Stand on Poorly Soluble Drugs and Peptides in Oral Delivery?
The Rule of 5 suggests that, for oral bioavailability, a better chance for oral absorption is obtained when the molecules are within the parameters of the Rule of 5’. However, the pharmaceutical industry is achieving oral efficacy with drugs that exceed….
