Formulation & Drug Development

Summit Life Science leverages advanced SEDDS technology and state-of-the-art Innovation Labs to deliver end-to-end formulation and drug development services for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and OTC applications.

R&D Services

Formulation Development

Our formulation scientists develop a broad range of dosage forms tailored to the physicochemical properties of your active ingredient and target patient population.

i.

Immediate Release Oral Solid Dosage Form or Powder

Tablets, capsules, and powder formulations designed for rapid disintegration and drug release, optimized for bioavailability and manufacturability.

ii.

Slow-Release or Controlled-Release Oral Solid Formulations

Extended and modified-release solid dosage forms that sustain therapeutic drug levels over time, reducing dosing frequency and improving patient compliance.

iii.

Softgel Formulations

Lipid-based softgel capsule development leveraging our SEDDS platform to enhance the solubility and bioavailability of poorly water-soluble compounds.

iv.

Liquid Formulations

Oral solutions, syrups, and elixirs developed with precise pH, viscosity, and stability profiles for both commercial and clinical-use applications.

v.

Suspension Formulations

Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical suspensions with carefully engineered particle size, rheology, and physical stability for consistent dosing.

R&D Services

Drug Development

We support the full drug development lifecycle for three primary drug categories, combining scientific expertise with deep regulatory knowledge.

01

Innovative New Drugs

New Chemical Entity (NCE) discovery and development programs applying cutting-edge screening technologies and proprietary delivery systems to bring novel therapeutics to market.

02

Generic Drugs

Bioequivalence study design, ANDA submission support, and formulation development for generic drug products targeting established reference listed drugs.

03

OTC Drugs

Over-the-counter drug formulation and regulatory strategy, including labeling review, monograph compliance, and NDA/ANDA preparation for consumer health products.

Additional R&D Capabilities

Beyond Standard Development

Our expertise extends into specialized development programs that require unique scientific and regulatory approaches.

Medical Food Development

Formulation and regulatory strategy for foods specially formulated to meet the distinctive nutritional needs of patients with specific medical conditions.

New Chemical Entity Development

End-to-end NCE programs from lead identification through IND-enabling studies, leveraging proprietary SEDDS and lipid-based delivery platforms.

Accelerate Your R&D Program

Whether you are developing a first-in-class molecule or a complex generic, our scientists and regulatory experts are ready to support your program from bench to submission.
