PROSOLV® 730: Directly compressible carrier for lipophilic ingredients
Nearly 90 % of molecules in the discovery pipeline and 40 % of drugs with market approval are poorly water soluble. Poor aqueous solubility can lead to low bioavailability resulting in insufficient plasma levels. Oil-based preparations of these APIs, as well as oily APIs in general, present challenges in terms of solid dosage form manufacturing. PROSOLV® 730 was designed to provide a solution to the formulation of BCS class II and IV APIs. It enables the formulation of lipidic APIs or API-loaded lipid systems by facilitating the adsorption of oil, creating a free-flowing, compactible system that can be further formulated. PROSOLV® 730 is a co-processed, high-functionality excipient comprising MCC SILICA COPOVIDONE
