In the whitepaper ‘How Aptar Pharma’s expertise can transform your ideas into opportunities’, the drug delivery and packaging powerhouse outlines their service portfolio, and track record in assisting companies on their drug development journey. If you’re looking for a trusted partner, read this to get your bearings.

Recipharm - Tomorrow’s medicines with today’s drug substances

Drug repurposing has been a big topic in the past couple of years – thrown into the spotlight even more in the search for COVID-19 treatments as a quicker solution to developing NCEs.

Development timelines for NCEs are typically long, painful, costly and come with significant risk of failure. An interesting alternative for many organisations is to look instead at existing molecules and products in their armoury, to examine how these might be used for new applications, improved upon, or paired with a device for improved therapeutic effect or efficacy.

In the webinar ‘Tomorrow’s Medicines with Today’s Drug Substances’ on their Company Showcase page, Recipharm outline the opportunity of innovating with existing APIs. Such products offer shorter development timelines on products which can be highly profitable.

Corden Pharma – Injecting life into Drug-Device Products

On the subject of drug-device combination products, Corden Pharma have a fantastic webinar which offers useful updates on the regulatory landscape for drug-device products, the benefits these products offer to patients, and how partnering with a full-service CDMO can help with development and commercialisation.

This 70-minute webinar is a great resource for anyone looking to jump-start their development of pre-filled syringes and auto-injectors.

Croda – Overcoming formulation challenges with high-purity excipients

Improving and optimising drug formulation – particularly bioavailability, solubility and stability - is an ongoing challenge in Pharma, particularly as drug products evolve and increase in complexity.

Interestingly, the humble excipient can be a great asset in addressing formulation challenges and adding value to finished products, as the webinar ‘Newest Innovations in Pharmaceutical Excipients’ from Croda explains.

This video covers the high incidence of API instability, the benefits that high-purity excipients can offer as well as the latest market innovations, and highlights opportunities to collaborate with Croda to master your formulation challenges. Worth a watch!

Another of the most searched for companies on CPHI Online this month was Laboratoria Natury sp. z o.o, a leading CDMO for food supplements and functional beverages. Their Showcase offers information on probiotics and supplements which have been developed with the patient in mind.
