Pharma e-symposium: Advancements in drug development and formulation

Watch this e-symposium to gain insights into the latest research and innovative solutions in drug development and formulation, including hot-melt extrusion for OSD and implants and twin-screw granulation and continuous manufacturing.

Employing hot-melt extrusion as a cost-effective method of increasing solubility of water insoluble APIs

Learn how hot melt extrusion (HME) disperses the drug in the matrix at a molecular level by forming a solid solution, and how it is being used in amorphous solid dispersion, controlled release systems, polymorph generation, novel cocrystallisation (solvent-free continuous cocrystallisation), porous polymeric systems and Process Analytical Technology (PAT).

Producing drug delivery systems for solubility enhancement to implants

Discover how hot melt extrusion (HME) is used in modern pharmaceutical formulation development, from increasing bioavailability to novel drug delivery methods.

Improving solubility with HME webinar series

Enabling strategies for development of HPMCA S-based amorphous solid dispersions by HME

Review the use of solid surfactants to reduce complex viscosity (and thus the processing temperature) of HPMCAS-based ASDs. 

Solid dispersions: A super saturated formulations to improve bioavailability of orally administered APIs

Learn how to increase the aqueous solubility of orally administered poorly water-soluble drugs by creating a supersaturation state in the gastrointestinal lumen, thus improving bioavailability.

A closer look into ASD formulations: A talk of two dispersions

Learn more about dispersions produced using hot melt extrusion (HME) with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as the matrix polymer and working with solid dispersions as a way to improve absorption by enhancing a drug’s solubility.

Twin-screw granulation/continuous manufacturing webinars

Advances in continuous granulation

Review a modular approach to continuous granulation including technological possibilities from mixing to finished product, and comparison of granulation characteristics from classic batch methods to using a twin-screw extruder.

Webinar: Advances in twin-screw granulation technologies

Learn the basic concept of Twin Screw Granulation (TSG), the influence of process parameters on final product quality and insights into recent advances in TSG continuous manufacturing. Including various quality-by-design approaches that can be used.

Incorporating twin-screw extruders into a continuous manufacturing process

Examine how a modular approach to continuous pharmaceutical processes using twin-screw extruders can help shorten the time from drug development to market.
