A pharmaceutical product formulation comprises all the ingredients – active or inactive - in the finished product. More than just being a means to package and deliver the drug to a patient, they become an environment that is meant to protect and promote the preferred characteristics of the active ingredient. In a way, similar to how the environment at a school can help nurture and turn the attention of its pupils to education. Pharmaceutical product formulations can protect the drug from chemical degradation, improve the rate and extent of delivery to its site of action, increase patient acceptance, or improve compliance of a treatment.
By redesigning the composition of existing medicines, whose pharmacological and therapeutic efficacy have already been established in the clinic and in practice, the path to market is one of the surest and fastest, and considerably less risky or costly compared to a new chemical entity. In most cases, this means that no new clinical studies to establish safety and efficacy. Yet, the novelty of the formulations and drug delivery strategies developed by Emphascience offer, in most cases, the possibility of patent-protected, differentiated branding, exclusive market presence and faster market entry than a typical generic product. Bolstered by its emphasis on science, creativity, and energy for limitless exploration, the Emphascience team is passionately committed to offer newer, safer, more exciting therapeutic options to all stakeholders of healthy lives.
A culture of “YES, WE CAN”. The Emphascience team takes the most daunting challenges in drug product design head-on, and tackles them with the eagerness and dexterity of a painter’s brush over a canvas. Each challenge is broken down into features that require the application of different sciences, and different strategies. Analytical, formulation, drug delivery, pharmacokinetic, packaging challenges are all addressed by those experienced in the arts and, the solutions, reintegrated back into the final product design to produce a marvel that could not have been imagined before. Our laboratories are the battlefield between science and creativity on one side, and practical challenges on the other. We take pride in the work we do and get our motivation from the incremental, hard-earned victories at the end.
Emphascience reintroduces safe, effective pharmaceutical products to the market with improved properties and expanded scope to address unmet medical needs in the treatment of pain, cancer, infections, and many fatal and debilitating diseases. Improved product formulations designed by Emphascience impact patient safety, treatment efficacy and ease of use.
We are constantly stretching our imagination and discovering methods to design new product opportunities that were inconceivable until now. Stable, heat-sterilized injections without added chelators, antioxidants, sulfites; oral pills that never require adjustment of meal times; easy to spread topical gels; ready-to-use IV infusions without the need for reconstitution and product transfers; injections from oral pills and vice versa; and many more changes that require cutting edge knowledge of chemical and pharmaceutical sciences. Examples of products designed by Emphascience include novel formulations of ready-to-use injections, extended-release intramuscular injections, ready-to-dilute intravenous infusions, topical and oral dosage forms.
Many Emphascience products are currently out-licensed to its marketing partners and progressing through various stages of development and regulatory review. Below are some of the select examples of upcoming product concepts being currently developed by Emphascience.
