Scientific Sessions

Preformulation Studies are the initial phase in drug development focused on understanding the physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of a drug substance. These studies evaluate solubility, stability, compatibility, polymorphism, and bioavailability to guide formulation design, optimize drug delivery, and ensure consistent efficacy and safety in the final pharmaceutical product. Preformulation helps identify potential challenges such as degradation or poor absorption, enabling developers to design robust, scalable, and regulatory-compliant formulations from the outset. These studies guide to selection of excipients, dosage forms, and different manufacturing methods.
