Advances in the Development of Amorphous Solid Dispersions: the Role of Polymeric Carriers
Amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) is one of the most effective approaches for delivering poorly soluble drugs. In ASDs, polymeric materials serve as the carriers in which the drugs are dispersed at the molecular level. To prepare the solid dispersions, there are many polymers with various…

Not the Usual Suspects: Alternative Surfactants for Biopharmaceuticals
Therapeutically relevant proteins naturally adsorb to interfaces, causing aggregation which in turn potentially leads to numerous adverse consequences such as loss of activity or unwanted immunogenic reactions. Surfactants are ubiquitously used in biotherapeutics drug development to oppose…

PLGA – A versatile copolymer for design and development of nanoparticles for drug delivery
Introduction
Poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) or PLGA, a highly hydrophobic copolymer comprised of lactic acid and glycolic acid, has been approved in many drug products and medical devices.1 Over the years since the first approved in 1997, PLGA has been widely studied polymer in the industry because…
