Amorphous Solid Dispersion — An Ideal Formulation Approach to Improve Developability of Poorly Soluble Molecules

Life Sciences, Drug Discovery & Development,
  • Wednesday, January 24, 2024

Discover an informative webinar uncovering the transformative impact of amorphous solid dispersion on drug solubility. Aqueous solubility results in low bioavailability and developability issues. Various approaches such as salt formation, solubilization using a co-solvent, complexation with cyclodextrin and particle size reduction have limitations for their wide applicability for all molecules.

Amorphous solid dispersion is one of the most promising approaches that not only helps overcome the limitations of these other approaches but also helps enhance the bioavailability and enable compounds to toxicity studies. The solid dispersion approach has unique advantages in terms of its applicability for a wide range of molecules, safety of vehicles and scalability.

Solid dispersion refers to the dispersion of one or more active ingredients in a hydrophilic inert carrier matrix at the molecular level. It is prepared by the melt (fusion) method or the solvent evaporation technique. The basic principle of this technique involves the conversion of crystalline drug substance to an amorphous form and stabilised in a hydrophilic polymer.

When the solid dispersion comes in contact with the aqueous medium, the inert carrier dissolves releasing the drug and the increased surface area produces a higher apparent solubility and dissolution rate, thereby increasing the bioavailability of the poorly soluble drug substance.
