Pre-formulation studies are an important prerequisite for formulation process development. It provides the essential basis for evaluating the pharmacokinetics of compounds, selecting drug administration routes and dosage forms, designing prescription processes, and quality control. It is the foundation for developing safe, effective, and quality-controlled drugs.
Alta Stomatology is a company dedicated to the research and development of drugs for oral diseases. We can provide clients with comprehensive pre-formulation research services, including crystalline screening and solid-state characterization, physicochemical and biopharmaceutical property characterization of active pharmaceutical ingredients, stability studies of active pharmaceutical ingredients, compatibility studies of active pharmaceutical ingredients with excipients, and non-clinical animal dosing protocol development. Our materials science department can also characterize the physical properties of formulations to guide formulation process design, thus ensuring full lifecycle support for clients' drugs for oral diseases. If you have any needs, please feel free to contact us.

Animal Dosing Vehicle Selection
Selecting the appropriate dosing vehicle is crucial for preclinical studies, ensuring accurate dosing and reliable results. Alta Stomatology offers expertise in animal dosing vehicle selection, taking into account factors such as solubility, stability, and compatibility with the test compound. Our team collaborates closely with clients to identify the most suitable vehicles, optimize drug delivery, and facilitate a seamless transition from preclinical to clinical development stages.
Amorphous Solid Dispersions
Amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) hold immense potential for enhancing the solubility and bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs. Alta Stomatology specializes in the development and characterization of ASDs, employing cutting-edge techniques to formulate stable and reproducible systems. Through precise control of drug-polymer interactions and dispersion methodologies, we enable the efficient delivery of oral disease medications, unlocking new possibilities for therapeutic efficacy and patient care.
Drug Developability Assessment
We conduct a detailed assessment of your drug candidate's developability to identify potential issues early in the drug development process and provide recommendations for optimization.
