Needles to Spheres: Evaluation of inkjet printing as a particle shape enhancement tool
Active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) often reveal shapes challenging to process, e.g. acicular structures, and exhibit reduced bioavailability induced by slow dissolution rate. Leveraging the API particles’ surface and bulk properties offers an attractive pathway to circumvent these challenges.…
