Pre-formulation studies

Focusing on understanding the physical and chemical properties of the drug molecule (e.g. solubility, stability, polymorphism). In collaboration with our solid-state R&D experts, we assess solubility and rank drug candidates to optimise bioavailability.

Formulation studies

Based on pre-formulation data, various formulation strategies are explored based on a quality by design approach to develop a stable and effective drug product. This involves selecting appropriate excipients and dosage forms (dependent on the drug’s characteristics and intended route of administration)

At Eurofins CDMO, we specialise in developing innovative formulations that provide solutions to enhance bioavailability e.g. Highway to clinic platform for poorly soluble compounds) and control drug release (e.g colon targeting), especially for challenging-to-formulate drug candidates:

  • Multiparticulate systems like mini tablets or beads
  • Bilayer / multilayer tablets
  • Hard capsules
  • Tablets
  • Orodispersible tablets
  • Amorphous solid dispersions
  • Solutions
  • Micro- and nanosuspensions
  • (Micro-) emulsions
  • Creams / gels / ointments
  • Powders
