Dispersome®

Make your drug soluble with Dispersome® technology. Dispersome® is a solubility enhancement technology that relies on an innovative and naturally occurring excipient to develop amorphous solid dispersions with high drug loading and high bioavailability.

Supporting Drug Development with the Dispersome® technology

 
   

The innovative Dispersome® technology, developed by Zerion, is capable of solving the poor solubility issues of drug candidates, presenting performance benefits and being an alternative to traditional excipients or enabling technologies. Dispersome® enables the formulation of API with a novel protein-based excipient (Beta-Lactoglobulin, BLG), developing amorphous solid dispersions - named Dispersomes – and achieving high drug loading, solubility, and drug bioavailability. 

The Dispersome® technology can be applied at any stage of the drug development cycle including preclinical tox studies, first-in-human, replacement of existing drug formulations that present suboptimal bioavailability and life cycle management.

Dispersome® is now part of ASD-HIPROS the most advanced and accurate screening tool to identifying the best Amorphous Solid Dispersion formulations by Spray Drying.

 

 
 

High solubility – High drug loading

The use of Dispersome® technology enables drug loadings above 50% w/w while maintaining stability and improving API solubility. These results have been demonstrated and proven with a wide diversity of drug entities.

 

Processability by Spray Drying

Dispersomes can be manufactured at a large-scale using Spray Drying, which is currently the main technology to improve drug solubility of amorphous solid dispersion formulations. This innovative technology leverages Hovione’s Spray Drying experience and expertise, offering a clear path to clinical supplies and commercialization.  

 

Leveraging the proprietary position of your drug

Dispersome® technology is protected by several patent families and available for licensing on an exclusive basis within your product scope, securing a unique protection with possible life cycle extension beyond 2040.

 

BLG, a natural alternative to polymer excipients

BLG, the main component in whey protein isolate, is the key excipient used in the Dispersome® technology. BLG is a natural ingredient used in both food and nutrition products, offering an alternative which is safe, easy to integrate and easy to be used in existing applications.
