The Importance of Amorphous Materials

For this inaugural episode of The Pharma Lab, we wanted to have a detailed discussion around amorphous APIs, why they’re so important, the misconceptions around amorphous materials, and the future of amorphous material development.

So we sat down with Dr. Ann Newman, a Pharmaceutical Consultant at Seventh Street Development Group, and Dr. Kenneth Morris, University Professor Emeritus at Long Island University, for a discussion all about:

- The differences between amorphous and a polymorph

- Why amorphous forms are important for drug product development, and in particular, patient outcomes

- The biggest challenges in dealing with amorphous materials for pharmaceuticals

- What we really need to focus on for the future development of amorphous materials
