Advancing Lipid-Based Formulations and Softgels in Drug Development (Feb 2024)

Lipid-based formulations (LBFs) are complex mixtures of lipid, surfactant and solvent excipient, where the composition determines the potential impact of dispersion and digestion on drug solubilization. By carefully selecting fill formulations during the early stages of drug development, it is possible to meet the specific requirements for bioavailability and stability for clinical trial and supply.
