What changed

Hovione plans to install a $35 million ConsiGma CDC Flex line at its East Windsor, New Jersey, campus, with commissioning expected in late 2027. The system will link spray-dried amorphous solid dispersions to tablet production under one quality system. Planned continuous and batch modes span 1 to 200 kilograms per hour, with development possible using 1.5 kilograms.

Why it may matter

Integrating solubility enhancement with downstream tableting could reduce handoffs, while claims of avoiding traditional scale-up still require product-specific validation data.

The interpretation above is analysis, not a conclusion attributed to the original source.

Review examines cocrystal performance and barriers to clinical translation

A Frontiers in Chemistry review examines pharmaceutical cocrystals as a way to modify dissolution and related biopharmaceutical properties without changing an API's chemical identity. The abstract distinguishes solubility-limited BCS II drugs from permeability-limited BCS IV drugs. It highlights gastrointestinal instability, manufacturing reproducibility, coformer selection, and limited pharmacokinetic evidence. Much of the reported performance evidence remains preclinical.
