Patient-Focused Drug Design

Incorporation of patient-focused drug design principles is increasingly becoming essential to ensure that a new drug is commercially successful and delivers the best patient outcomes. Often, patient factors and insights are not considered or discovered until the later phases of drug development when dose form, dose strength, and route of administration are already decided. There is tremendous potential benefit of equipping formulators and other scientists with patient insights earlier in the development process so that the drug product can be designed to address the specific needs of target patient populations.

Membrane-Based Water for Injection

ON24

Historically, distillation has been the most common technology used to produce Water for Injection (WFI), due to prior process advantages and historical regulatory requirements. Changes in the European Pharmacopeiano longer require the use of distillation systems to produce WFI. In this webcast, learn about the impact of this regulatory change on water system design and how reverse osmosis and ultrafiltration can be used to produce WFI with significant lifecycle cost advantages.

Why are Lipid Formulations Commonly Used to Enhance Bioavailability?

Patheon

Enabling formulations becomes more and more necessary to obtain adequate exposure of APIs during (pre)-clinical research. Currently, most registered formulations to improve bioavailability are based on lipidic systems, which make use of intrinsic digestion processes within the GI tract, facilitating the absorption of APIs. Aside from a general absorption mechanism, lipidic systems can also promote lymphatic transport of poorly soluble drugs, such as hormones. In addition, many different indications, such as HIV therapy, oncology, immunosuppressant and even arising therapies related to medicinal cannabis (e.g. CBD) can benefit from lipid formulations. These formulations create multiple possibilities for oral administration because they can be manufactured as solutions, suspensions, emulsions, and self-(micro)emulsifying systems.
