Catalent Spray Drying Technology

Poorly soluble compounds continue to make up a large share of the pharmaceutical development pipeline. Spray drying has been proven for particle size engineering and known to improve the bioavailability of poorly soluble compounds. A spray dried dispersion (SDD) is an amorphous molecular dispersal of a drug in a polymer matrix, created by dissolving drug and polymer in a solvent and then spray-drying the solution.
