The SOLENT™ high-throughput liquid formulation screening platform is designed to solubilise drug compounds in GRAS excipients and prepare them for testing in animal models
During early-stage pharmaceutical drug development, new drug molecules must be formulated into a delivery system that is suitable for administration in both pre-clinical animal models and clinical studies. Early identification of an optimal formulation (or a lack thereof) can significantly impact the results of these studies and confer significant time-saving and cost benefits to the overall drug development program.
In order to help expidite early-phase product development, the scientists at Synectix have developed a rational formulation screening platform, SOLENT™ (SOLubility ENhancement Technology) to support preclinical oral biovailability and toxicity testing investigations, as well as early-phase clinical trials.
The foundation of SOLENT™ lies in its utilisation of an innovative preformulation matrix, which represents a wide variety of liquid-based GRAS formulation excipients approved for both preclinical and clinical use (including pH adjustment, co-solvents, microemulsions, SEDDS, oils, lipids and cyclodextrins).
Using as little as 50 mg of API, we are able to rapidly screen your API against our proven matrix platform, with the highest priority being to solubilise your poorly soluble compound and keep it in solution, either long enough for safe parenteral administration or alternatively until oral absorption can take place.
Benefits of the SOLENT™ screening platform include:
- Liquid formulations designed for maximum drug loading and exposure
- Novel 'real-time' screening technology for monitoring solution stability
- Rapid identification of formulations suitable for either oral or parenteral administration
- Rapid delivery of test results using our novel high-throughput platform (results available after 1 week)
- Parenteral formulations of your API can be further developed for intravenous, subcutaneous, intramuscular and intraperitoneal delivery
- Rapid delivery of successful test samples for in vivo investigations with supporting stability testing to match planned study timelines
Dosing Recommendations
All of these formulations are designed for oral dosing. The formulations that are liquid at room temperature can be dosed to your animals via syringe (oral gavage). Larger animals may be easily dosed with hard gelatin capsules from Capsugel. Capsugel has a Licap™ capsule that seals, thus allowing dosing of liquid or semi-solid formulations in hard gelatin capsules.
