Understanding the impact of API solubility on the performance of a given drug product and determining ways to enhance dissolution rates is critical to ensuring your product makes it to market, into the hands of patients and clinicians, is well absorbed and provides its intended therapeutic effect. Selecting the best formulation strategy to address challenges for each API, however, can be time-consuming, costly and complex.

This whitepaper describes how hot melt extrusion (HME) and a specially-engineered grade of polyvinyl alcohol (Parteck® MXP polyvinyl alcohol 3-82 Emprove® Essential Ph Eur; referred to in this publication as Parteck® MXP 3-82 PVA) can be used to increase the solubility of DCS IIb molecules.
