Developability-Guided Solubility Enhancement



WEBINAR

Development of new active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) lengthy poor drug solubility is one of the most inhibiting factors in drug product development. The Developability Classification System (DCS) was developed to assist formulation scientists and provide guidance on the various formulation strategies to overcome solubility issues by physical modifications, using solubilization promoters and solid dispersion technology.

In this context, hot-melt extrusion is one of the key technologies to address poor drug solubility. This webinar will provide you with an overview of the DCS and different formulation strategies as well as give you a deep-dive into hot-melt extrusion technology and which excipients are suitable for this process.
