From Experts to Experts
- Cutting-edge educational program
- Large variety of trouble shooting case studies, application guidelines and technical books focused on your formulation challenge
Overcoming Key Challenges Like Alcohol-Induced Dose Dumping
-
1In this webcast, experts review principles of sustained release formulation, as well as research conducted by the Free University of Berlin (Germany) and BASF, which investigated methods to successfully formulate sustained-release drugs that comply with regulatory requirements for alcohol-induced dose dumping.
Understanding the Relationship between Quality Attributes and Microstructure
-
1R&D teams developing topical semi-solid dermatology products can gain an understanding of the key factors that influence the formation of the complex assemblage of microstructures that compose the Q3, as defined by the arrangement of matter in a formulation, as well as how the microstructure influences the critical quality and performance attributes of the final product.
Successful Binding of Peroxide Sensitive APIs
-
1In this This webinar targets all formulators looking for a solution to finally combine excellent binding properties with no peroxide exposure – not only until packaging, or until the bottle or blister is opened, but throughout the whole lifecycle of the drug – from production to patient administration.
Thermal Sintering for Controlled Drug Release of Hydrophilic Drugs
-
1Excipients can provide an answer to drug release challenges when their hydrophobic nature is coupled with thermal sintering. This approach intensifies the retardation of drug release by forming plastic matrices of high mechanical strength, which can withstand dose dumping and achieve controlled release.
Books
Overcoming Challenges in Sustained-Release Drug Formulation
-
1In this eBook, experts review unique considerations for formulating sustained-release drug products, including conflicting regulatory guidances, excipient selection, and balancing human physiological factors with physicochemical properties of the formulated drug.
Optimizing Topical Semi-Solid Drug Formulation and Performance
-
1In this eBook, experts explore how the selection of functional excipients can affect the microstructure and performance of topical creams, critical quality attributes for semi-solid formulations, and analytical techniques. Also, hear about common problems that delay the ANDA submission process and how to avoid them.
Podcasts
The Role of Semisolid Microstructure in Topical Formulations
-
1Bozena Michniak-Kohn, professor and director of Center for Dermal Research at Rutgers University, and Norman Richardson, global technical development and marketing manager, skin delivery, BASF, discuss the importance of understanding the interactions of excipients in semi-solid formulations.
Twin Screw Wet Granulation for Solubility Enhancement of Poorly Water-Soluble Drugs
-
1In this dedicated dialogue, solubility enhancement expert Andreas Gryczke from BASF will answer additional questions that have been posed in our recent webinar on Twin Screw Wet Granulation for Solubility Enhancement of Poorly Water-Soluble Drugs.

Kollicoat ® MAE 100-55 – Dust free enteric release coating powder
-
1Kollicoat ® MAE 100-55 combines two things hard to bring together – it can directly exchange the comparable pH 5.5 enteric release coating polymer in your commercial formulations, and still bring significant handling improvement to your operators because it does not dust at all.
Solubilization challenges need new ways of bringing chemistry
-
1In the Pharmaceutical industry, more than 70% of new drugs developed are poorly water soluble, which means that the human body can hardly adsorb them. This represents one of the major challenges of the industry. It was BASF and its team of experts - including Andreas Gryczke - who have used the combination of chemistry and process technology know-how to establish a simple and efficient solution for this issue. Hot Melt Extrusion, a technology well-known from the plastics industry, helps to enables pharmaceutical companies to literally solve their solubilization issue.
