Biologic Drug Formulation

Biologic drugs such as monoclonal antibodies, therapeutics proteins, peptides, vaccines and others require excipients in their final formulations to ensure stable, safe, and effective drugs can be delivered to patients. 

Surfactants are a category of excipients that stabilize the active ingredient in a biologic formulation and protect against environmental stresses. The increasingly diverse and complex biologic drug modalities that are being developed challenge formulators to make safe and stable drug formulations. BASF is a leader in surfactant chemistry and we provide a surfactant toolbox to enable formulators to develop the optimal formulations for their biologic drugs to ensure the highest level of performance and safety for patients.
