Amorphous solid dispersion formulation development
Enhancing drug solubility with amorphous solid dispersion
Technologies like spray drying are used to disperse insoluble drugs in carrier polymer materials, improving solubility. These polymers are carefully screened to ensure the amorphous solid dispersion meets strict stability and dissolution performance standards, even at gram scale. This process enhances drug efficacy and ensures reliable production quality.
- Application scenarios
