Long-term collaboration with Semmelweis University

Today’s cyclodextrin

I just signed the contract sealing a long-term collaboration between Semmelweis University – a leading medical education institution in Hungary and the Central European region – and CarboHyde.

We will work closely in the coming 2 years with Ákos Lőrincz and Mátka Nagy ,exploring how cyclodextrins could be combined with extracellular vesicles for practical applications.

The first event of CarboHyde Cyclodextrin Masterclass I is open for registration!

Our webinar, titled “Cyclodextrins in small molecule drug delivery – current trends and future directions” is the first episode in a series of webinars (CarboHyde’s Cyclodextrin Masterclass) that aims to provide educative content to cyclodextrin users and researcher on various applications.

Event Overview: Join us for an illuminating webinar that traces the evolution of cyclodextrin-based drug delivery systems—from current mainstream applications towards future trends. Our esteemed speaker will explore key aspects of this journey, highlighting breakthroughs, challenges, and the promise of cyclodextrins in improving therapeutic outcomes.

FORMULATION DEVELOPMENT – Solubility-Enhancing Technologies in Pharmaceutical Development, a Mini-Review

Great article in this month’s issue of Drug Development & Delivery featuring cyclodextrins and other solubilization techniques.

Ardena‘s Drug Product team, led by Vincent Levet (Director, Formulation Development and Production) and Timothy Pas (Group Leader, Formulation Development and Production), has just published this technical article that explores innovative formulation strategies aimed at addressing solubility and bioavailability challenges in poorly soluble drugs. The article focuses on advanced techniques like Amorphous Solid Dispersions (ASDs), lipid-based formulations, Nanosuspensions, and hashtag#Cyclodextrin complexes.

The team highlights how these approaches can accelerate time-to-market while ensuring optimal therapeutic outcomes.
