15th Global Drug Delivery & Formulation Summit
May 21-23, 2024 | Berlin
The NUPh employees – Head of the Department of Technology of Medicines professor Olena Ruban, Head of the Department of Pharmacy Technology of Medicines, prof. Liliya Vyshnevska and professor Natalya Polovko – took part in the 15th Global Drug Delivery & Formulation Summit, which took place in Berlin on May 21-23, 2024.
The speakers of the summit were representatives of the world’s most famous pharmaceutical companies and universities: Bayer, Pfizer, Sanofi, Eli Lilly, Boehringer Ingelheim, Roche, Paris-Saclay University, Takeda, Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine, Syntegon, Gerresheimer, Ashland, Vivtex, Sanofi, University of Vienna, University of Bristol, AstraZeneca, Novartis, BASF, Ashland, University of Copenhagen and others.
Modern developments and problems of the pharmaceutical industry, in particular in the production of innovative medicines, were highlighted.
The topics of the reports were: spray drying in the production classification system for oral solid dosage forms; oral delivery of macromolecules; delivery of new drugs based on nanoparticles and modern approaches to quality control of pharmaceutical nanoparticles; development of amorphous solid dispersions and oral delivery of drugs poorly soluble in water; formulation development, stability forecasting and shelf life monitoring of products; development of devices for subcutaneous delivery of biotherapeutic agents; stability of protein compositions: from phase separation to solid transition; development of orally available cyclic peptides; review of modern technologies for oral delivery of peptides: in vitro permeability test in gastric cell model; development of long-acting injectable formulations using a variety of approaches such as oil solution, aqueous suspensions, gels, nanosuspensions and microspheres; aqueous suspensions for long-acting injections; microfluidics in pharmaceutical sciences: from formulation to screening and diagnostics; evolution and commercialization of drugs in the form of capsules; oral delivery of drugs that are poorly soluble in water – lipid-based drug delivery system; parenteral nanosuspension: overcoming problems of stability, production and sterilization; elimination of problems during industrial scaling of dry syrup; etc.
The information obtained will be useful for updating the teaching of the block of technological educational components to NUPh students, as well as to the topics and methods of conducting scientific research.
