Important aspects such as the Discovery and Screening of New Chemical Entities and the physicochemical, galenical and preclinical Characterization of Drug Substances, Drug Products and Excipients will be presented and discussed. In addition, investigations and research concerning the transport and the bioavailability of Drug Substances are outlined as well as the different forms of Delivery Systems.

The Conference intends to create a platform for an interaction between Researchers incorporated in the Academia and Scientists and Experts from Research, Development and Regulatory Departments of the Life Science Industry. The increasing pressure for the fast development of extremely efficient Drug Substances and Drug Products of a high quality affords outstanding research activities and in addition development procedures focused on analytical, chemical, physicochemical and galenical characterizations. The development tasks are rather complex because of the extreme demands in respect to the chemical and physical stability as the criteria for a high and constant bioavailability under the storage and dispensation conditions.

In addition to the basic chemical structure of a drug substance as free base or free acid, also entities such as hydrates, solvates, salt forms, complexes, molecular compounds are existing. The characterization of these detected entities enables a selection of candidates for a further development. Many of the above mentioned entities with an identical basic chemical structure may also appear in different polymorphic forms which also should be taken into consideration for a comprehensive selection study.

Lectures are also welcome which give overviews in the different areas of research and development as well as in the physicochemical aspects of the manufacturing processes of active substances, such as crystallization, phase separation, lyophilization, drying and especially spray drying and freeze drying. Also included in our Scientific Program are preformulation and formulation processes for different types of dosage forms.

The analytical, physicochemical and preclinical Methods and Procedures are also in the focus of the Conference.

A Scientific Program offering Plenary Lectures, Key and Short Communications as well as Poster Sessions anticipates an exchange of information.
 

The program consists of the following sections:

Drug Substances

Excipients and Polymers

Drug Products

Site-specific Drug Delivery

Methods of Physical Chemistry and Instrumentation

You are cordially invited to participate in the PhandTA10.

Manufacturers of Instruments will exhibit their newest developments during the instrumental sections.
Service Organizations will show their capabilities and will present their achievements.

The conference language will be English.
