Trends in amorphous solid dispersion drug products approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration…
Abstract
Forty-eight (48) drug products (DPs) containing amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in the 12-year period between 2012 and 2023. These DPs comprise 36 unique amorphous drugs. Ten (10) therapeutic categories are represented, with…

Impact of Co-Processing on the Structural Evolution of Lactose and MCC, Investigated by Laboratory…
Introduction
Within the last decades a new subgroup of diluents, so called Co-processed Excipients (CPE), found its way into pharmaceutical practice . After a seemingly endless discussion about their definition, state, and boundaries to a simple physical admixture (PAM), CPE have been defined as a…

Development of immediate-release formulation with reliable absorption of rivaroxaban in various meal…
The bioavailability of rivaroxaban at the higher doses (15 and 20 mg) is considerably reduced when the drug is administered on an empty stomach. This can lead to inadequate anticoagulant effect, and therefore, it is recommended to use the higher doses at fed state. However, proper posology may…

Microencapsulation of hop bioactive compounds by spray drying: Role of inlet temperature and wall…
This study explores the effect of spray-drying (SD) inlet temperatures (Tinlet 120 and 150 °C) and wall material on the chemical and physico-chemical properties of microencapsulated hop extracts (MHE). Hop extract was formulated with maltodextrin (MD) and gum Arabic (GA) used in single or in…

Premix technologies for drug delivery: manufacturing, applications, and opportunities in regulatory…
Abstract
Active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and excipients can be carefully combined in premix-based materials before being added to dosage forms, providing a flexible platform for the improvement of drug bioavailability, stability, and patient compliance. This is a promising and…

Spray drying Eudragit® E-PO with acetaminophen using 2- and 3-fluid nozzles for taste masking
Conventional spray drying using a 2-fluid nozzle forms matrix microparticles, where drug is distributed throughout the particle and may not effectively mask taste. In contrast, spray drying using a 3-fluid nozzle has been reported to encapsulate material. The objective of this study was to spray dry…

Fine excipient materials in carrier-based dry powder inhalation formulations: The interplay of…
Abstract
The contributions of fine excipient materials to drug dispersibility from carrier-based dry powder inhalation (DPI) formulations are well acknowledged, although they are not fully elucidated. To improve the understanding of these contributions, we studied the influences of the particle…
