Prior to the development of any dosage form with a drug candidate, it is essential to determine its fundamental physical and chemical properties. Subsequently, this information dictates events and approaches in formulation development. Pharmaceutical performulation studies encompass this initial assessment of the physiochemical properties of the drug substance. At VVP, we believe that a thorough understanding of drug properties helps minimize problems in the later stages of drug development, reduces time-to-market, and enhances cost-effectiveness. VVP provides pre-formulation and stability testing for
Novel dosage forms, including nonconventional products such as semi-solid or sustained-release preparations
Products to enhance drug solubility and stability, improve bioavailability, and target tissue delivery
In vitro evaluation of stability and release properties for formulations
