Formulation Prototype Development

At Kuecept, our scientists are experienced in the development of customised dosage forms for specific administration routes, including oral and parenteral drug delivery.

Formulation prototype development studies are designed and performed with attention to every detail, from use of excipients that are generally recognised as safe (GRAS) to identification and prevention of potential stability and processing problems that may be encountered during scale up manufacture.

The types of formulation development studies conducted at Kuecept vary and reflect the range of administration routes employed in clinical practice. Most of our work focuses on oral and parenteral routes of administration and our clients’ product development needs usually fall into one of two categories, either:

1. Enhancing bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs
2. Controlling drug release (instant, targeted or delayed) to maximise absorption

Formulation prototype development projects start with a strategic formulation plan. The formulation strategy is the result of a thorough analysis of the preformulation data report, the intended manufacturing process, any patient compliance issues and the strategic goals of the company.
