A new generation of lipid based excipients

A new generation of lipid based excipients

What if a new generation of lipid-based excipients could lift advanced pharmaceutical drug development with poorly soluble APIs to its next level
by providing a built-in fit-for-purpose feature for advanced processes such as hot melt extrusion, hot melt coating, particle engineering and 3D-printing?
More than 75% of new chemical entities are poorly soluble and require bioavailability-enhancing excipients. The application of excipients in advanced pharmaceutical processes, aligned with advanced approaches towards personalized medicine, requires special features. Lipid-based excipients (LBEs) are „natural contenders“ for the tasks. However, until now, it has not been possible to fully exploit the potential of LBEs. The main challenge is the unstable solid state of current LBEs, e.g. polymorphism, leading to instability of the final dosage form. Compared to polymers, the low melting temperature of liquids, combined with highly crystalline arrangement, limits their application in advanced pharmaceutical processes.
