Solubility of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in an oral formulation is critical for absorption from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and the intended therapeutic effect. Ensuring that an API has the necessary solubility can be challenging for drug developers and formulators. If limitations in solubility cannot be successfully addressed, a new chemical entity (NCE) is unlikely to advance in the development pipeline. Addressing this potential roadblock to clinical success is becoming increasingly important as NCEs continue to become larger and more lipophilic and, as a result, less soluble.

Ashland has launched Viatel™ ultrapure bioresorbable polymers (lactide / glycolide / caprolactone chemistries), a higher purity platform of controlled release polymers used in long acting injectables and implants (LAII). Ultrapure provides improved release consistency, extended-release durations and are better suited for sensitive drug compounds due to the less acidic micro-environment.

In this eBook learn more on how to expedite the development pathway for early phase compounds, and how lipid based formulations provide innovative approach to enhance bioavailability for challenging molecules. It also presents how the lipid-based delivery provides a tool for highly potent, poorly soluble, and unstable APIs.

The enteric delivery of pharmaceuticals has long been a challenge for numerous reasons, including protecting the active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) from the harsh environment of the gastrointestinal tract and assuring consistent delivery and dosage in the small intestine. This paper reviews the challenges and the science that shows Lonza’s proposed hard capsule solution has been validated to provide acid protection, customization, and scalability.

Understanding the impact of API solubility on the performance of a given drug product and determining ways to enhance dissolution rates is critical to ensuring your product makes it to market, into the hands of patients and clinicians, is well absorbed and provides its intended therapeutic effect. Selecting the best formulation strategy to address challenges for each API, however, can be time-consuming, costly and complex.
