WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (PRWEB)October 15, 2021 Starting Monday, October 18th, Dr. Susan-Bogdanowich-Knipp, President of Ravine Pharmaceuticals and consultant with Improved Pharma, will present “Polymorph Screen of Newly Discovered Salts of Bedaquiline”. The poster (M2142) is part of the Manufacturing and Analytical Characterization – Chemical – Drug Substance Manufacturing and Development – Crystal Structure/Polymorph Screening Read more
Improved Pharma is pleased to announce an additional open-source publication describing the structures of Bedaquiline maleate salts that is now available to download. Previously, our lab was able to identify promising new benzoate salts of Bedaquiline, a first-in-class drug used in the treatment of tuberculosis. This current publication describes the successfully solved crystal structures obtained from Read more
Dr, Stephen Byrn, CSO of Improved Pharma, was a key contributor to a recent publication describing the usefulness of mini-tablets in monitoring the dose-response of lapatinib solid amorphous dispersions in juvenile pigs. Juvenile pigs have been well-established as an effective pediatric model. The use of mini-tabs allowed for dose flexibility as the the amount of tablets dosed could Read more
A recent collaboration with our colleagues further advances the field of X-ray pair distribution function analysis applied to the analysis of amorphous solid dispersions. In this paper, we present the results of different polymer:flubendazole drug dispersions exposed to aging conditions. We discovered that if the polymer has ion-base interactions with the drug, the resulting Read more
Improved Pharma is pleased to announce the open-source publication of research into finding new salts of bedaquiline, an important drug for the treatment of tuberculosis. The drug is currently marketed in the US as the fumarate salt. Our team discovered several new salts, and the crystal structures of two benzoate salts are described in Read more

Improved Pharma COO Pamela Smith is co-author of a chapter in the latest edition of Specification of Drug Substances and Products: Development and Validation of Analytical Methods. The chapter, Solid-State Characterization – Method Development and Validation, focuses on the key issues that must be addressed when developing solid-state methods. Method development and validation for pharmaceuticals Read more
Polymorph screens and salt screens are important components for drug development. The goal of polymorph screening is to try to find all possible crystal forms by small-scale crystallization and to select a stable form that can be manufactured and formulated into a dosage form. Salt screens are commonly used to alter the physicochemical properties of Read more
Improved Pharma, LLC participated in the AAPS PharmSci 360 meeting in San Antonio, TX from Nov 3-6, 2019. The meeting was highly successful and allowed for several discussions surrounding our problem solving strategy. Our booth was ideally located among several formulation companies and the formulation poster sessions, enabling a great forum for gathering scientists Read more
