Confirmed title: Unique nanonisation technology for poorly soluble APIs by Nanoform
20 June: 10:45 - 11:00
Dr Niklas Sandler, Chief Technology Officer, Nanoform Finland Ltd
ABSTRACT
Our multi-patented and scalable Controlled Expansion of Supercritical Solutions (CESSᵀᴹ ) technology produces nanonized ‘designed-for-purpose’ API particles. This enables poorly soluble molecules in the pharmaceutical pipeline to progress into clinical development by increasing their rate of dissolution and improving their bioavailability. Our unique nanonizationᵀᴹ technology also provides novel opportunities in diverse value enhancing drug delivery applications. We work together with pharma and biotech partners globally to enhance molecules’ formulation performance through our best-in-class nanonizationᵀᴹservices.  Nanoform’s platform technology can give failed drug molecules a second chance and gives an unique path to develop nanoparticles from early phase development onwards. The patented technology is based on supercritical CO2. The drug solution is expanded through a controlled process to produce pure drug nanoparticles. The process is more controlled than conventional supercritical technologies, and it produces smaller and more uniformly sized particles. This presentation will give an introduction Nanoforms technology and show the capabilities in small scale screening in early stage development and  GMP manufacture of nanoparticles.
