    Abstract: Copolymer, wherein structural units are derived from: i) an acrylic carboxylic acid monomer (4 to 18% by weight), selected from the group consisting of acrylic acid and methacrylic acid, ii) a 5 hydrophobic methacrylate (more than 8% by weight), selected from a group consisting of isopropyl methacrylate, tert-butyl methacrylate and cyclohexyl methacrylate, iii) a N-vinyl lactam, selected from a group consisting of N-vinyl pyrrolidone and N-vinylcaprolactam and optionally iv) 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, with the proviso that the total amount of structural units derived from the monomer groups adds up to 100% by weight, and the calculated solubility parameter SP of 10 the copolymer is between 22.0 and 25.0 MPa1/2, and the use of the copolymers as crystallization inhibitors in pharmaceutical dosage forms for inhibiting the recrystallization of an active ingredient in an aqueous environment of a human or animal body.

    Abstract: In order to facilitate product development, such as pharmaceutical product development, a computer implemented method and an apparatus are proposed that enable formulators to develop robust drug formulations in a cost- and time-efficient manner. To start the development process, the user selects the preferred dosage form (e.g., granules, pellets, capsules, tablets etc.), defines a target profile (e.g., amount of active ingredient per unit, size of dosage form, mechanical strength of dosage form, desired release behaviour etc.) and enters key characteristics of the active ingredient (e.g., true density, particle size distribution data, bulk and tapped density, angle of repose, compressibility and compactibility profile etc.). The identity (e.g., chemical name or structure) of the active ingredient is not necessarily disclosed. The apparatus processes the provided data and calculates key parameters of the AI (e.g., particle size, powder density, powder flow and tabletability) Similar key parameters are calculated for common pharmaceutical excipients and stored in the apparatus. The apparatus then selects all relevant excipients and suggests a suitable manufacturing process. Combinations of active ingredients and excipients qualify as drug formulation if the predicted properties comply with the defined target profile. The following aspects can be considered: solubility and permeability of the active ingredient, dissolution of the active ingredient, probability to pass the content uniformity criteria, flowability of the powder blend, tabletability of the powder blend, mechanical strength and size of the tablet, compatibility of active ingredients and excipients etc.

    Abstract: Terpolymer, wherein 20 to 35% by weight of the structural units are derived from acrylic acid, 45 to 60% by weight of the structural units from a hydrophobic methacrylate selected from a group consisting of isopropyl methacrylate, tert-butyl methacrylate and cyclohexyl methacrylate and 15 to 40% by weight of the structural units from a third olefinic monomer selected from the group consisting of N-vinyl lactam, hydroxy ethyl methacrylate and phenoxyethyl acrylate with the proviso that the total amount of structural units derived from the three monomer groups adds up to 100% by weight, and the use of the terpolymers as crystallization inhibitors in pharmaceutical dosage forms for inhibiting the recrystallization in an aqueous environment of a human or animal body of an active ingredient.
