Separation Techniques & Formulation

Pharmaceutical Formulation and Drug Design

Pharmaceutical Formulation and Drug Design focus on creating effective, stable, and bioavailable drug products. Drug formulation involves selecting appropriate excipients, designing delivery systems (e.g., tablets, injections, patches), and optimizing drug release profiles to ensure therapeutic efficacy. Key challenges include improving solubility for poorly water-soluble drugs, ensuring stability, and designing formulations for targeted delivery. Drug design focuses on developing molecules with optimal pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics properties, using techniques like molecular modelling and high-throughput screening. Innovations such as personalized medicine, biologics, and nanotechnology are transforming drug formulation and design, enabling treatments that are more precise, efficient, and tailored to individual needs.
