Monitoring of transdermal drug delivery in skin using the Renishaw Biological Analyser

Detecting the presence and depth of penetration of drug compounds in skin can prove challenging, current technologies fail to achieve adequate penetration through layers of dermal tissue. In this study, Raman spectroscopy using the Renishaw Biological Analyser - RA816 confirmed the presence of a topical compound in the epidermis and reticular dermis with high specificity and sensitivity.

Spray drying for enhancing the solubility of poorly soluble drugs

Spray drying continues to gain importance as a preferred manufacturing technology for amorphous solid dispersions (ASD). A fast carrier selection allows for a more targeted development process with reduced time to market. EUDRAGIT® polymers have not only been proven to be superior with respect to ASD formations but can also stabilize the amorphous state of the API over storage.

Six API Challenges That Could be Slowing Your Development

The challenges for new drugs looking to enter the market are numerous. But many are self-inflicted – especially in small molecule development. A dangerous perception persists that aside from highly potent APIs, small molecule medications have simple process requirements. The reality, however, is that most APIs will require numerous steps or significant work upfront to avoid development delays, rework or outright failure.

Is Your In-House Strategy Ready For The Uncertainties Of Biologic Drug Development?

The pharmaceutical industry’s past reliance on blockbuster drugs has evolved to include developing drugs that treat the needs of smaller patient populations. These drugs most often come in the form of biologics, which are an increasingly larger share of new drug approvals in the past decade, from 10 percent to 27 percent.
