Improving the Bioavailability of Challenging APIs using Hot Melt Extrusion with Polyvinyl Alcohol
New molecular entities (NMEs) are becoming larger and more lipophilic and, as a result, less soluble. While approximately 40% of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) currently on the market show poor solubility, it is estimated that between 60 and 90% of compounds in development have solubility…
