Formulation Development

Pharmaceutical formulation development is the critical step which links the discovery of a novel drug to commercialization. During this step, formulation scientists will determine the best drug delivery vehicle and dosage form needed to deliver a therapeutic effect based on bioavailability or other factors. Below you can explore articles, industry trends, and curated products which can help increase formulation development efficiency.

  • Advancements in Modified Release Drug Delivery Systems: Technologies, Applications, and Patient-Centric Perspectives

    Oral drug delivery remains the most preferred route of administration due to its convenience, cost-effectiveness, and high patient compliance. However, conventional immediate-release (IR) formulations often result in fluctuations in plasma drug concentrations, necessitating frequent dosing and potentially causing side effects due to peak to-trough ... read more

  • Understanding Drug Delivery from Spectroscopic Insights

    This article explores drug delivery routes in the human body and highlights advanced spectroscopic methods - such as Raman, infrared, fluorescence, and nonlinear techniques - for investigating delivery mechanisms. It emphasizes their industrial relevance and presents an outlook on how these tools can accelerate drug development and precision in ... read more

  • The Transformation of Drug Discovery

    More than five years have passed since COVID-19 was declared a global pandemic, marking the beginning of a healthcare crisis that has claimed millions of lives and continues to shape our world today. Early efforts to contain the elusive and ever-evolving SARS-CoV-2 virus demanded unprecedented collaboration among nations, healthcare systems, and ... read more

  • Introduction to the World of Artificial Intelligence

    Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer just a concept confined to the pages of science fiction or the minds of theoretical thinkers. It has grown into a transformative force that is reshaping industries, societies, and even the way we perceive reality. The rise of AI has Figure 1. Introduction to the World of Artificial Intelligence ... read more

  • Pharmaceutical P.I.N. Points: Patent Innovation News

    The purpose of this column is to highlight and summarize recent key patents in the pharmaceutical arena issued by the US Patent Office in March 2025. read more

  • Sharper, Faster, Smarter: The Mass Spectrometry Advantage in Bioanalytical Testing

    Drug-plasma protein binding is a fundamental parameter in drug development that directly affects how a compound is distributed, metabolized, and excreted. Only a drug’s unbound fraction is pharmacologically active, so accurate measurements are essential for understanding efficacy and safety. This information also guides dosage design, predicts ... read more
