As a top collaborator in ophthalmic treatment innovation, CD Formulation excels in pioneering nucleic acid therapies for ophthalmic use. Leveraging cutting-edge technology and specialized knowledge, we offer tailored formulation development that spans from initial design to process refinement, guaranteeing products meet high standards of quality and safety.
The drive to innovate in ophthalmic nucleic acid formulations stems from the need to refine current delivery systems. Innovations in polymeric micelles, nanoparticles, and advanced delivery systems such as in-situ gels and implants address these needs by improving drug retention and utilization in eye tissues, while also reducing dosage frequency and enhancing drug stability. These benefits propel ongoing research and development in the field.

CD Formulation has a professional quality control system and well-equipped R&D and formulation laboratories. Our scientific experts boast extensive experience in handling complex ophthalmic nucleic acid drug products and solutions as well as suspensions.
Our Expertise Includes:
Items | Descriptions |
---|---|
Development of Solution Ophthalmic Formulations | Solutions represent a fundamental ophthalmic formulation, typically comprising a drug dissolved in a suitable solvent. The primary focus is on selecting solvents that maintain drug stability and solubility, alongside careful pH and osmotic pressure adjustments. |
Development of Suspension Ophthalmic Formulations | Ideal for poorly soluble or controlled-release drugs, suspension development emphasizes managing particle size, ensuring stability, and minimizing sedimentation. It also involves refining the rheological properties of the suspension medium to achieve desired outcomes. |
Development of Ointment Ophthalmic Formulations | As a semi-solid formulation, ointment development focuses on the selection and lubrication of the base to ensure good distribution and retention of the drug in the eye. Ointment bases are usually composed of fats, waxes, and the development needs to verify their physicochemical stability. |
We offer safety analysis services for ophthalmic nucleic acid formulations, including biocompatibility assessment of ingredients, monitoring of local reactions, and long-term toxicity studies. Through systematic experimental design and data analysis, we ensure that formulations meet industry safety standards and provide clients with detailed reports and recommendations.
CD Formulation supports bioanalysis for ophthalmic nucleic acid drug formulations, encompassing nucleic acid drug quantification, biomarker, and immunogenicity analysis. Our advanced instruments and analysis platforms provide ultra-low sensitivity required for TK/PK samples in ophthalmic drug development.
