Improving Drug Delivery Systems with Novel Emulsion Technologies for Sterile Product Formulation
10 Mar 2014Micro-encapsulation is one of the most interesting areas in modern pharmaceutical technology. It is a complex, interdisciplinary field requiring specialist knowledge of polymer science and familiarity with emulsion technology. This white paper highlights the benefits of a novel micro-encapsulation emulsion technology, ET4ME. ET4ME is usable in the formulation of multiple APIs, from small molecules right through to complex biomolecules, with high levels of batch consistency and reproducibility upon scale up.

Process ChemistryProcess chemistry is an important stage of drug development for scaling-up drug production or chemical synthesis reactions. It is useful for optimizing economical and efficient drug production. Process chemistry uses reactors and pump systems as well as reagents, standards and buffers.Drug DeliveryDrug Delivery refers to dosage form, route of administration, formulations, technologies, and systems for transporting a pharmaceutical compound in the body as needed to safely achieve its desired therapeutic effect. Drug delivery is often approached via the biopharmaceutical or small molecule drug's formulation, but it may also involve medical devices or drug-device combination products. Considerations include instrumentation, software and services. PharmaceuticalsPharmaceuticals are medicinal drugs used in healthcare to diagnose, prevent, cure and treat illnesses. Pharmaceuticals that are excreted after use appear in wastewater and can have detrimental effects on the environment.FormulationFormulation is the process of combining active pharmaceutical ingredients with excipients to produce a drug which is both stable and active.
