Solubility Enhancement: Improving Bioavailability of Solid Formulations
Solubility enhancement approaches are of increasing relevance in pharmaceutical product development as a growing number of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in the pipeline shows low aqueous solubility. As there is no one-size-fits-all solution available, an appropriate fine-tuned approach must be chosen depending on the properties of the API, the desired final dosage form and the required formulation performance. We offer a range of innovative excipients that can boost the efficacy of your final drug product by enhancing API solubility through formulation approaches, as well as through API processing in early development stages.
Our solutions include:
- Specialized excipients for hot melt extrusion, spray drying, dissolution rate enhancement in tableting and a silica drug carrier with a unique surface structure
- API processing chemicals for salt and cocrystal formation
All supported by the Emprove® Program with comprehensive documentation to speed up your way to the market. Whenever applicable, our products are compliant with the major pharmacopeias.
Excellent Solubility Enhancement and Stabilization
Our Parteck® MXP range of polyvinyl alcohol polymers is specifically designed and optimized for hot melt extrusion to increase solubility for a broad range of APIs:
Hydrophilic Lubricant for a Reliable Performance
Our dissolution rate enhancing excipient that also acts as a robust water-soluble, hydrophilic lubricant – designed with the needs of modern solid manufacturing in mind.
Multi-functional for Solubility Enhancement and Particle Engineering
Our innovative Parteck® SLC mesoporous silica is used as a solubility enhancing excipient, stabilizing the more soluble, amorphous form of a compound within nanosized pores.
Meglumine Two Grades, Many Applications
The organic base meglumine can be used as a counterion to form a salt with the API or as a functional excipient to enhance API solubility, improve API stability, and adjust pH value. Select your grade:
