  • 'Dispersome® – Novel Bioavailability Enhancement Technology for Poorly Water-Soluble APIs Scalable from Grams to Tons'

The Dispersome® technology is a novel solubility enhancing approach that is based on using the protein beta-lactoglobulin (BLG) as novel pharmaceutical excipient. By mixing a drug compound with this by-product from cheese production, one obtains a unique amorphous composition of small molecule drugs and proteins.

The technology has been shown to dramatically increase the solubility and bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs, which will be demonstrated by selected case studies in this presentation. These co-amorphous drug-BLG formulations can be manufactured by Spray Drying which is a continuous and scalable manufacturing process commonly used in the pharmaceutical industry. A roadmap of the Spray Drying development process will be presented, with all the main steps to bring these new formulations from the laboratory to production scale suitable for Metric Tons.

A focus will be given to the importance of lab-scale familiarization and supporting studies throughout the development process and how computational, statistical tools combined with prior knowledge can be capitalized to reduce risk while maximizing time and resources.

Why you should attend:

  • Learn more about innovation in bioavailability enhancement using BLG
  • Learn how these formulations can be scaled-up to meet commercial supply demand

Lisbon, Portugal – Hovione, the specialist integrated pharma CDMO and leader in spray drying and particle engineering, today announced its commitment to setting Science-Based Targets (SBTs) in line with the Paris Agreement. This ambitious step underscores the company’s dedication to addressing climate change and driving sustainability across its operations. By committing to SBTs, Hovione joins a growing number of businesses taking concrete actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This initiative aligns with the company’s broader sustainability strategy and reinforces its commitment to scientific excellence. “At Hovione, we believe in science and in best practices. And this clearly applies to our sustainability agenda.”, said Jean-Luc Herbeaux, CEO of Hovione. We made the decision to drive our GHG emissions down using a science-based target setting process, which will help us drive sustainability across our operations by laying out a clearly defined path to reduce emissions in line with the Paris Agreement goals. We believe that by setting ambitious targets and implementing concrete actions, we can make a positive impact on the planet while driving innovation and growth.” Hovione will work closely with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to develop and validate its emission reduction targets. The company will provide regular updates on its progress towards achieving these goals. As part of its commitment to sustainability and transparency to stakeholders, the company will enhance its Ecovadis rating. Ecovadis, a leading sustainability assessment platform in the pharmaceutical industry, provides a comprehensive evaluation of a company’s environmental, social, and ethical performance, well aligned with Hovione’s sustainability ambitions.  Hovione remains dedicated to operating responsibly and contributing positively to society and the environment. The company will continue to implement sustainable practices across its operations and innovate to further improve its sustainability rating.   Learn more about Science Based-Targets
