At CD Formulation, developing optimal dosage forms is our specialty. As a leader in biologics, we're at the cutting edge of spray drying technologies. Through our expertise, we provide full-service solutions for engineering spray-dried peptides and proteins. Every aspect is optimized - from initial formulation through fine-tuning stability and bioavailability. Committed to quality and personalized services, our formulations cater to each molecule's distinctive traits.
Spray drying is a widely used technique in the pharmaceutical, food, and chemical industries for converting liquid or semi-liquid substances into dry powder form. It involves the atomization of a liquid feed material into droplets, which are then rapidly dried by hot air or gas, resulting in the formation of fine particles or powder. Its ability to preserve heat-sensitive substances, produce fine particles, enhance solubility, enable encapsulation, and support continuous processing makes it a valuable tool in numerous industries.
Stabilizers, such as sugars (e.g., trehalose, sucrose) and polyols (e.g., mannitol, sorbitol), are utilized to protect the structural integrity and biological activity of peptides and proteins during spray drying and subsequent storage.
Phospholipids and polysorbates are surfactants that prevent proteins from aggregating and adsorbing to surfaces, thereby maintaining the active molecules' stability.
Buffers are incorporated to maintain the desired pH range, ensuring protein stability and preventing degradation.
At CD Formulation, we follow a systematic and comprehensive approach to ensure the successful formulation of peptides and proteins.
We begin by evaluating the compatibility of the peptide or protein with the spray drying process and identifying potential challenges.
Our scientists will design a formulation strategy tailored to the specific molecule. Through an in-depth analysis of the active ingredient's properties, we craft a strategic design. Aspects like stability, solubility and targeted release kinetics guide material selection.
We utilize state-of-the-art spray drying equipment and techniques to optimize the process parameters. This includes adjusting variables such as inlet temperature, feed concentration, drying gas flow rate, and atomization parameters to achieve the desired particle size, morphology, and drug loading.
We perform rigorous characterization and stability studies to assess critical quality attributes, including particle size distribution, moisture content, residual solvent levels, protein integrity, and bioactivity. These studies ensure the long-term stability and performance of the spray-dried formulation.
At CD Formulation, we are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of peptide and protein spray-dried dosage form development. With our expertise, state-of-the-art facilities, and focus on customized solutions, we offer comprehensive services to optimize the formulation, manufacturing, and characterization of spray-dried dosage forms for peptides and proteins.
