Polymorphism in Lipids: Influence and Control in Pharmaceutical Applications
Polymorphism is a fundamental phenomenon observed in lipid materials, encompassing a diverse group of biomolecules such as fats, oils, and phospholipids. This phenomenon refers to the ability of lipids to exist in multiple structurally distinct states of crystallinity. Polymorphism in lipid materials has significant implications, e.g. in pharmaceutical and industrial applications. Controlling lipid polymorphism can be of paramount importance in the development of lipid-based drug delivery systems.
Meet our experts at the trade fairs CPHI and AAPS
This year again, our team of experts from the Pharma business unit is once again participating in two of the most important trade fairs in the pharmaceutical industry: "CPhI" in Barcelona and "AAPS PharmSci 360" in Orlando. We use these stages to present ourselves in terms of sustainability, innovation and quality. Take the opportunity, make an appointment and meet our concentrated expertise on site.
Sensorially appealing, sustainable and regulatory compliant formulation ensures the success of topical applications
The topical therapy approach is the first choice for skin diseases. However, in order to ensure the intended therapeutic success, the patient’s cooperation is indispensable - especially in the case of chronic diseases. A pleasant skin feeling is the prerequisite for enabling the patient to use creams or ointments in compliance with the prescription. The combination of uncompromisingly high quality and pleasant skin feeling is therefore of decisive importance for the Pharma business unit of IOI Oleo GmbH.
Peroxide value as a further indicator of the shelf life of lipid excipients
IOI Oleo GmbH enjoys an excellent reputation worldwide as a manufacturer of high-quality, lipid-based additives. In order to ensure that we maintain our standards for the highest quality and to comply with the guideline values of national and international pharmacopoeias, we attach great importance to the selection of the raw materials and suppliers we use as well as state-of-the-art production processes at our locations in Germany. In this context, the peroxide value (PV) can be used as a key indicator of the rancidity of lipids and is used by pharmaceutical companies as an indicator of the quality of their excipients.
SOFTIGEN® 767 as a solubilizer & penetration enhancer for topical applications
In the topical application of drugs and for their therapeutic success, the development or the selection of the formulation of the active ingredient carrier is of crucial importance. IOI Oleo GmbH is committed to the production of lipidic excipients of the highest quality, which have been used in the pharmaceutical industry for decades. The multifunctional product SOFTIGEN® 767 solubilizes active ingredients and at the same time has a moisturizing effect - an optimal combination for topical formulations.
Acid value as a central, objective quality factor for lipid excipients
The selection and qualification of a manufacturer of excipients and active ingredients is one of the main tasks of quality management, which aims, among other things, to ensure the manufacture of effective and safe pharmaceuticals. In this context, monographs serve as a guide to evaluate raw materials regarding their physico-chemical properties and also help to compare different sources of the "supposedly" same raw material.
Committed to Sustainability – CPHI 2022
In November, the CPHI 2022 in Frankfurt, the leading trade fair for the pharmaceutical industry, finally ended our long absence from trade fairs. We were all very excited to finally see our customers, business partners and friends again, resume personal discussions and make new contacts. One topic was especially important to us: Sustainability. And we were particularly proud of an innovation with a great deal of potential.
“Everything new” at the CPHI 2022 in Frankfurt
Finally, the time has come! We will be live at the CPHI Worldwide with a booth. We had to wait until today to present our new trade fair appearance to you and are all the more pleased to welcome you from November 1st to 3rd, 2022 in Frankfurt. Because nothing can replace face-to-face contact.
Water-free formulations for Topical Applications
Topical uses of our specialty products are a pivotal component of our daily aspiration at IOI Oleo GmbH. The business units Pharma and Personal care have common history and share products and expertise to help customers developing high quality, sensorially appealing formulations.
