The importance of API particle size
on formulation success
On demand webinar recording - now available
API powder properties and the characterization of an API play a crucial role in drug product development. It impacts the critical quality attributes of drug products such as dissolution, bioavailability, content uniformity, and manufacturability. Designing the right process,equipment, and selecting the appropriate characterization techniques is key to achieve the desired particle size.
The webinar will be complemented by real-world case studies, where we will look at examples of formulation challenges faced by our customers related to API attributes and how our team of experts successfully solved them using right particle engineering approach & state of art infrastructure.
What you
will learn:
Application of various particle engineering techniques to tailor API powder properties
The structured problem solving approach in achieving the right particle for your formulation needs
Dr. Reddy's capabilities involved in particle engineering and characterization

Summary of the Webinar
In the webinar, experts from Dr. Reddy's - Srividya Ramakrishnan head - process engineering, API R&D, Suhas Jawlekar, process engineering expert, API R&D, and Amuthan Ramar, characterization expert, analytical R&D address the importance of API particle size on formulation success that includes application of various particle engineering techniques and API powder properties, The structured problem-solving approach in achieving the right particle for formulations and Dr. Reddy's capabilities in particle engineering and characterization.
The first section of the webinar covers the relation between pharma API powder properties and drug product attributes – particle size distribution, API formulation, mechanical properties, morphology (drug product attributes), solid form, surface properties, followed by crystal morphology, size, and surface properties.
The next section of the webinar emphasizes particle engineering technologies spectrum, PAT tools to understand crystallization (PVM, FBRM, Raman, FTIR), and particle engineering capabilities – powder processing, API formulation process, control of PSD in slurry and downstream processing.
The concluding section of the webinar showcases the case studies and success stories related to API formulation – Flowability improvement, the outcome of crystallization design, dissolution performances, and case studies on customer requirements regarding the particle size, followed by orthogonal verification for robust and faster PSD methods and image analysis.
