Multidrug combo for companion animals

Business Problem

One of our leading multi-national animal healthcare clients was working on a novel three-drug combination product for the treatment of seasonal ticks in companion animals.

 The client wanted to stabilise a low dose drug which is highly prone to hydrolytic degradation, and also ensure content uniformity of the active within the microgram dosage. The problem was unique and challenging, as the tabletting adjuvants were incompatible, and required our team to think outside the box to develop a stable formulation composition.

Key Program Features
Benefits
Scientific capability
  • Stabilisation of the active (within the microgram dose which was prone to hydrolytic degradation), using novel polymer and a process which ensures content uniformity
  • Screening of different palatability strategies
  • Development via design of experiment approach and an appropriate design space
  • Development of discriminatory dissolution media
  • Use of novel analytical texture analysis to analyse the physical strength of tablets
Process improvements
  • Process scale up from lab-scale to pilot-scale to commercial-scale using appropriate scale-up factors
  • Identication of critical process parameters and material attributes, to design the appropriate control strategy

Result

  • Syngene partnered with the client to deliver a first-in-class, complex 3-drug combination dosage form.
  • Successfully completed screening of different prototypes considering chemical and physical stability, palatability, processability and drug dissolution.
  • Performed seamless technology transfer to commercial scale (granulation lot size of 500kg) by adopting scale-up factors, performing risk assessments, identifying critical process parameters (CPPs) and designing appropriate control strategies.
