Page 5 To make the portfolios easier to navigate, BASF has developed a new naming system for its dermatology and solubilization range. The new names are related to compendial designations – so customers can easily identify each excipient’s application. Derma portfolio: BASF's broad portfolio for dermatology features is now improved by topical delivery systems and milder excipients. The entire dermatology line – from emollients to APIs – meets the highest standards and all relevant regulatory requirements. Solubilizer portfolio: The most promising active ingredient is useless unless it can be effectively solubilized and made bio-available. BASF’s extensive range of solubilizers, co-solvents and matrices is designed to meet the toughest challenges for all dosage forms including solids, liquids and semi-solids. Soluplus®: Soluplus is an excipient developed especially for use in hot melt extrusion (HME) processes, a technology that is widely known in the plastics industry and is increasingly attracting interest in the pharmaceutical sector. Soluplus acts in this process as a polymeric matrix former for solid solutions of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Its effect is to increase the solubility and bioavailabilty of poorly water-soluble APIs.
