Recent Advances in Amorphous Solid Dispersions: Preformulation, Formulation Strategies,…
Abstract
Amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) are among the most popular and widely studied solubility enhancement techniques. Since their inception in the early 1960s, the formulation development of ASDs has undergone tremendous progress. For instance, the method of preparing ASDs evolved from…

In Vivo Evaluation of a Gastro-Resistant HPMC-Based “Next Generation Enteric” Capsule
Many orally dosed APIs are bioavailable only when formulated as an enteric dosage form to protect them from the harsh environment of the stomach. However, an enteric formulation is often accompanied with a higher development effort in the first place and the potential degradation of fragile APIs…
