The use of reduction and nucleation technologies in nanosize active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) is as an enabling to bring improved drug products to the marketplace demand as well as for improved drug delivery. nanoPharmaceutical field represents a hopeful set of pharmaceutical materials offering the prospect of better alternatives to optimize drug physical properties and biopharmaceutical issues such as solubility, stability and bioavailability in pharmaceutical development without changing the chemical composition of the API, thereby, giving new patentable solid forms. With physically improved solid API may impact the the pharmaceutical intellectual property landscape. Nanoparticle formation is achievable in many ways, although primarily through particle reduction or through manipulation of the nucleation mechanism. Keywords: active pharmaceutical ingredient; drug delivery; ultra rapid freezing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
