A core challenge among drug developers is working with challenging APIs, which are increasingly becoming more hydrophobic and/or with stronger crystal lattice structures, each ultimately poorly water soluble. This ebook covers a variety of important tools for formulators.


Strategies for Working with Poorly Water-Soluble APIs


	Currently, the pharmaceutical industry rarely takes sustainability into the raw material sourcing decisions, yet, various aspects of the pharmaceutical ingredient sourcing process offer opportunities for the industry to advance sustainability goals. This webcast will provide insight on how sustainably sourcing raw materials for the manufacture of pharma ingredients can contribute to sustainability and potentially give companies a competitive advantage in the marketplace. Experts will explore the importance and benefits of sourcing sustainable palm and palm kernel oil-based products and will discuss BASF’s commitment to offering only oleo chemicals certified from the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO)-certified palm and palm kernel oil.

Overcoming Challenges in Sustained-Release Drug Formulation

Poorly-soluble APIs present formulation and development challenges. Excipient selection and manufacturing process development are crucial. Continuous twin-screw granulation is gaining acceptance as a manufacturing technology to address issues presented by these APIs and is offering high production capacity in a small footprint.
In this dedicated dialogue, solubility enhancement expert Andreas Gryczke from BASF will answer additional questions that have been posed in our recent webinar on Twin Screw Wet Granulation for Solubility Enhancement of Poorly Water-Soluble Drugs.

The Role of Semisolid Microstructure in Topical Formulation Performance and Functionality

Excipients are crucial for effective drug formulation, and excipient manufacturers continue to make advances in technology designed to address the formulation challenges presented by new drug substances. Pharmaceutical Technology magazine talked with Dr. Bernhard Fussnegger, Global Development and Technical Marketing at BASF, about the excipient developer’s family of peroxide-free excipients that are recommended for APIs sensitive to oxidation.
