Solubility and oral bioavailability enhancement

Through our sister company Gattefossé (UK) Ltd we can offer the full range of Gattefossé lipid excipients for oral drug delivery.

Gattefossé lipid excipients can provide effective formulation strategies for poorly water soluble API. Lipid-based formulations can improve drug delivery by normalizing and enhancing oral bioavailability.

Low HLB oily vehicles provide formulation solutions for highly lipophilic API. Self-emulsifying (SELF) formulations can be developed using a single self-emulsifying excipient in a binary system with a drug substance, or using multiple excipients in a SEDDS (Self Emulsifying Drug Delivery System), or SMEDDS (Self Micro Emulsifying Drug Delivery System) when additional surfactant power is required to solubilise the API in aqueous systems.

Gattefossé’s semi-solid and liquid excipients can be used in hard gelatin or HPMC capsules, or softgels. In addition Gattefossé has developed formulation techniques to allow the excipients to be used in solid dosage forms.

For more information on the formulation techniques that can be used to improve solubility and bioavailability please contact us, or visit the Bioavailability Enhancement Formulation Guide on this website.
