Read about a material-sparing strategy for developing spray-dried intermediates (SDIs) and their tablet formulations, enhancing bioavailability for poorly soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), using erlotinib as a case study. By integrating formulation mapping, polymer screening, and compact screening, the approach enables rapid risk identification and informed decision-making for first-round tablet formulations.
The PharmTech team focused on its coverage of AAPS PharmSci 360 this week, conducting interviews with experts on a range of topics including formulation platforms, AI, amorphous solid dispersions, and animal studies.
Nitin Kumar Swarnakar, PhD, global application lab manager at BASF, talks about spray drying for drying amorphous solid dispersions and Raman spectroscopy’s role as a quantitative analytical tool.
Aleksandra Zuraw, senior veterinary pathologist at Charles River, discusses how chain of custody, good laboratory practice, quality control, and validation are applied to digital pathology data used in drug development.
