Enjoy a look inside our brand new laboratory in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. This state-of-the-art facility houses formulation development, chemistry, microbiology, and environmental monitoring capabilities in support of our also brand new formulation and new sterile-fill finish facility in RTP.

Common high-performance lipids and surfactants were used to improve the dissolution rate of furosemide as a model compound for BCS Class II and Class IV active pharmaceutical ingredients. Furosemide equilibrium solubility was measured throughout an HLB range (1-16) of liquid lipids and surfactants. Furosemide tablets were then manufactured using high shear granulation to absorb the solubilized and suspended furosemide onto microcrystalline cellulose (Avicel PH101). The granulations were then compressed using a rotary tablet press and standard tablet tooling. Finished tablets were analyzed to compare dissolution rates using 0.1 N HCl media and USP Apparatus II. Higher equilibrium solubility yielded increased dissolution rates for furosemide tablets compared to directly compressed furosemide tablets.

We expect the importance and value proposition of manufacturing to exponentially increase in the next decade and the foreseeable future. Most importantly, parenteral manufacturers need to move away from a myopic "fill-finish" mentality to a fully integrated development mindset that is in line with client expectations, patient needs, and regulatory requirements. It will require "out of the box" thinking and strategic, at-risk investments to remain ahead of the curve. This will take innovation, courage, and collaboration across R&D and placing smart bets for a win-win.

High-resolution mass spectrometry is a core technique for the characterization of biologics. It can provide a full range of characterization capabilities ranging from high-level analysis through intact mass analysis to residue-specific information from MS/MS sequencing. Alcami offers a full range of capabilities for the structural characterization of biologics using high-resolution mass spectrometry. Instrumentation includes two high-resolution quadruple time of flight (Qtof) instruments and multiple high sensitivity triple-quadrupole instruments.

Alternate methods of administering solid oral formulations are necessary to meet the needs of all patients. Geriatric, pediatric, and patients suffering from gastroesophageal reflux disease are often administered pharmaceuticals mixed with food or liquids due to difficulty swallowing tablets or capsules. For immediate release, enteric coated, modified release, or extended release dosage forms, a food study is required to evaluate whether the alternate route of administration impacts the therapeutic dose.
