Why You Should Know about the Excipients Search Tool

Do You Work in Drug Design, Formulation, and Development? Read about the Excipients Search Tool on American Pharmaceutical Review for Simplifying Drug Design

Our goal at CompareNetworks, Inc. is to empower scientists with cutting-edge tools, knowledge and information resources. One of our sister sites, American Pharmaceutical Review, caters to the pharmaceutical scientist and provides timely articles, industry and news, and is built upon a dedicated directory for pharmaceutical researchers, purchasing managers and manufacturers at all stages of the drug design process.

The American Pharmaceutical Review Excipients Search Tool is the first commercially accessible search tool featuring the latest excipients available for research and purchase from top excipients vendors such as Meggle and Gattefosse.

Excipient Buying Power 

The FDA and other compliance organizations have approved hundreds of new drug additives. Multipurpose excipients are booming in popularity, lending to their ease of use and elimination of complicated process steps. Technology for production of excipients is rapidly improving. The definition of an “excipient” has changed slightly over the years—it is no longer just an inert substance or additive. Now, excipients add more functionality to drugs than ever before, and companies recognize the importance of development with a focus on toxicity and consumer allergies (e.g., marine-derived excipients, nonsensitizing chemicals, low endotoxin chemicals). The latest news is the integration of all pharmacopeias into a single regulating body.

With so much happening in the excipients industry, we have performed comprehensive industry research to build a comprehensive search tool that allows users to search for excipients by manufacturing process, desired functionality of an excipient in the pharmaceutical product, dosage form, and more.

For example, users can simply browse for excipients based on desired process and functionality.Each excipient within the PharmaCompare catalog is verified for its use (e.g., medicinal, research-grade only, ophthalmic, multi-pharmacopeial compliance, and more). The search tool allows users to submit a quote request directly to the vendor for a quick response. Our vendors are ready to respond to users’ questions. For example:

  • Is there the possibility to order bulk tonnage of excipient for the life of a drug manufacturing protocol, at a competitive rate?
  • Can our company order the same excipient from different companies?
  • What if our laboratory just needs a small quantity of excipient for a pilot run?

If you are in the pharmaceutical industry, please share the exciting news about the American Pharmaceutical Review Excipients Search Tool with drug developers. The tool is designed to be easily accessible by all personnel, at all stages of the drug design process.
