Formulation and Drug Delivery

The author proposes a strategy for achieving a successful partnership with Big Pharma on the basis of forming a relationship with the company, deliberately managing the alliance, and clearly defining roles and responsibilities.

The author assesses the compressibility of Plasdone S- 630 copovidone-based tablet formulations using roller-compaction and direct-compression processes.

This comparative study suggests that pregelatinized starches are superior to natural starches in terms of improving the plastic deformation in tablet formulations during compression.

This study attempts to determine the combination of excipients found in commercial ASA products that would be suitable for use in an aqueous enteric film&#173coating process.

Both academia and industry have been encouraged to generate quick&#173dissolving dosage forms as the demand for fast&#173disintegrating tablets and capsules has steadily increased.

Appropriate sampling procedures, proper preparation, and correct instrumental parameters may yield differing, but correct, results.

Using formulations containing various types of lactose and dibasic calcium phosphate, the authors investigated the effects of lubricant level, lubrication time, and compression speed on tablet weight, hardness, and friability.

Special considerations and cautions must be adhered to when designing virus safety studies and developing appropriate virus contamination control programs.

Evolution of an existing drug molecule from a conventional form to a novel delivery system can significantly improve its performance in terms of patient compliance, safety, and efficacy. These days,drug delivery companies are engaged in the development of multiple platform technologies to get competitive advantage, extend patent life, and increase market share of their products.
