Drug Bioavailability Enhancement

Drug Bioavailability Enhancement

Effective drug development depends on drug bioavailability - the proportion of an administered dose that reaches systemic circulation in an active form. For oral drugs, bioavailability is a major challenge, as poor solubility and permeability often limit absorption.

We specialize in enhancing the bioavailability of oral drugs using cutting-edge formulation techniques to improve solubility and dissolution rates. Our expertise in lipid-based systems and amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) ensures that your drug candidates achieve optimal absorption and therapeutic efficacy.

Our services include comprehensive bioavailability enhancement solutions, from formulation development, through to regulatory-compliant manufacturing, to help pharmaceutical companies bring more effective oral drugs to market.

Our Bioavailability Capabilities

Next to lipid-based systems, our expertise specializes in amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) - a proven approach for overcoming poor drug solubility and maximizing therapeutic performance. Our technologies and expertise focus on improving solubility and absorption to enhance drug bioavailability.

Spray Drying

Spray Drying is one of Aenova’s highly effective technology solutions for oral bioavailability enhancement, of which we offer state-of-the-art spray drying setup with laboratory to GMP production equipment by renowned manufacturers.
