New Chemical Entity (NCE) formulation development

Sai Life Sciences supports New Chemical Entity (NCE) formulation development from pre-formulation through early clinical supply. Our teams combine physicochemical understanding with formulation science to address challenges related to solubility, permeability, and stability. Working in coordination with particle science, analytical development, DMPK, toxicology, and process teams, we design scalable, patient-appropriate dosage forms that enhance bioavailability and support progression into clinical development.

Our Capabilities

Pre-Formulation & Developability Assessment

Solid-state characterization, physicochemical profiling, and excipient compatibility studies to guide formulation strategy.

Dosage Form Development

Development of solid oral, liquid, and parenteral dosage forms across preclinical and clinical stages.

Bioavailability Enhancement

Application of particle engineering, lipid-based systems, solubilization approaches, salt and co-crystal strategies, polymorph screening, and micronization.

Stability & Compatibility Testing

Stress testing and stability evaluation to ensure quality, performance, and regulatory readiness.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Close coordination with medicinal chemistry, particle science, DMPK, toxicology, process chemistry, and analytical teams to enable smooth development progression.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you assess the physicochemical properties of a new chemical entity?

Physicochemical profiling is conducted during developability assessment and includes evaluation of pKa, log P, solubility across aqueous buffers and biorelevant media, melting point, molecular weight, and polar surface area. Stability, solid-form behavior, and manufacturability are also assessed to inform formulation strategy.

What enabling technologies do you use for poorly soluble NCEs?

Enabling strategies include amorphous solid dispersions (ASD), nanosuspensions, nanoemulsions, lipid-based formulations, salt and co-crystal approaches, polymorph screening, and micronization.

Supporting equipment includes spray dryers, homogenizers, high-pressure homogenizers, jet mills, and parallel crystallizers to enable scalable formulation development.

How do you ensure compatibility between drug substance and excipients?

Compatibility is evaluated through systematic pre-formulation studies, including stress testing and accelerated stability assessments. Analytical techniques are used to monitor physical and chemical changes to ensure excipient selection supports product stability and performance.

Can you support formulation development under accelerated timelines?

Yes. High-throughput screening, automated platforms, and coordinated collaboration with particle science and analytical teams support efficient decision-making. Structured project management enables accelerated development timelines while maintaining quality and compliance.
