Surfactants are tensioactive chemical compounds extensively used worldwide in a myriad of industrial sectors and in our daily lives, being present in numerous products including cosmetics, detergents, fabric softeners, toothpaste, among many others. Millions of tonnes of surfactants are thus manufactured every year. Most commercially available surfactants are non-renewable petroleum-based compounds that can hav...
One of the applications of Hot-Melt Extrusion (HME) is the stabilization of amorphous drugs through its incorporation into polymeric blends in the form of Amorphous Solid Dispersions (ASDs). In this study, HME was applied to solve a real problem in the development of an ibrutinib product, stabilizing the amorphous form. A systematic approach was followed by combining theoretical calculations, high-throughput sc...
