Amorphous Solid Dispersions: Development Trends, Challenges and the Future

Life Sciences, Pharma, Pharma Manufacturing & Supply Chain,
  • Thursday, April 06, 2023

The pharmaceutical industry is pushing the boundaries of the chemical drug space in search of new and more effective compounds. However, many of these new molecules have properties that make them difficult to develop, including challenging physiochemical characteristics. As a result, the number of poorly soluble drugs in the pipeline is increasing, and there is a growing need for innovation and new technology solutions to produce amorphous solid dispersions.

In this webinar, the featured speaker will explore the latest trends and challenges in the development of poorly soluble molecules. The speaker will also introduce attendees to the KinetiSol Technology — a cutting-edge approach that overcomes the limitations of current amorphous dispersion technologies. This innovative and flexible solution revolutionizes the conventional manufacturing process of amorphous solid dispersions, paving the way for improved drug absorption and dosage forms.

Register for this webinar to learn how this next-generation technology for amorphous solid dispersions can help address the challenges of developing and manufacturing poorly soluble drugs. Learn about the benefits it can provide for the pharmaceutical industry as a whole.

AustinPx

Founded in 2007, AustinPx, Pharmaceutics and Manufacturing, is a fee-for-service CDMO offering preclinical through Phase II formulation and process development and GMP manufacturing of oral dosage forms. We specialize in bioavailability enhancement, speed to clinic and market development strategies, and dose form development.

The name AustinPx represents where we come from and what we do. Px stands for Pharmaceutics. To our core, we are a pharmaceutics company. Our approach is data-driven and agnostic which means our formulation strategy for each drug is based on the unique physiochemistry of that compound. And for poorly soluble compounds, we have one of the most powerful tools available in KinetiSol, a truly next generation technology for rendering active pharmaceutical ingredients amorphous.
