Description

General description

When working on a pharmaceutical formulation, there are specific considerations to make and challenging hurdles to take before you can successfully launch your final drug product - formulation stability, release kinetics and bioavailability limitations just to name a few. With our application know-how and regulatory expertise, we support you in every step of development, scale-up, and production.
As part of our EMPROVE^® Program, our raw materials are offered with extensive documentation facilitating compliance of your pharma and biopharma product, full supply chain transparency and risk mitigation. Our SAFC^® portfolio of high-quality products for biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical formulation and production withstands strict quality control procedures and is produced according to applicable cGMP guidelines.

Application

Cyclodextrin HPB (hydroxypylated β-cyclodextrin) can be used to strongly increase solubility of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) by forming API:cyclodextrin inclusion complexes. It can also increase API stability and safety as well as mask undesired odors and tastes. The broad application range of Cyclodextrin HPB comprises liquid, semi-solid and solid formulations, as well as diverse routes of administration. Due to its low microbial and endotoxin limits, Cyclodextrin HPB Emprove^® Expert is especially suitable for high-risk applications.
