Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to identify key properties of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) that impact pharmaceutical manufacturing efficiency, focusing on API particle size and drug loading in formulations.
  • Common findings highlighted that smaller particle sizes lead to more processing challenges, while high drug loadings limit the ability to improve poor API properties with excipients.
  • Analyzing over 400 regulatory filings indicated that higher doses and poorly soluble APIs often require more complex processing methods, and further analysis using commercial tablet data suggested that larger particle sizes can enable greater drug loading in dry processes.
