Science & technology

The science behind difficult-to-make products.

Much of our work sits where routine generic development stops: molecules that are unstable, poorly soluble, hard to deliver or demanding to handle. These are the platforms and molecule classes we work with.

01

Complex & differentiated generics

Reformulations that solve a patient or supply problem.

Oral liquids made from tablets for children, ready-to-use injectables made from lyophilised powders, extended-release and orally disintegrating tablets, all designed on non-infringing routes.

  • Tablet → oral solution or suspension
  • Powder → ready-to-use injection
  • Immediate → extended release
  • Differentiated topicals

Portfolio example: Solifenacin succinate, tablets reformulated as an oral suspension and solution for paediatric patients: 6-month stability completed.

02

Sterile & parenteral systems

Fifteen sterile formats, from simple to complex.

Aqueous and non-aqueous injections, lyophilised products, liposomes, microspheres, nano-emulsions and nano-suspensions, pre-filled syringes, infusion bags and ophthalmic solutions, emulsions and suspensions.

  • Lyophilised products
  • Liposomes and microspheres
  • Pre-filled syringes and infusion bags
  • Ophthalmics

Portfolio example: Tacrolimus, ready-to-use injectable solution: ready for technology transfer.

03

Drug delivery platforms

Changing how a drug is absorbed, not just how it looks.

Self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDS) form fine oil-in-water emulsions in the gut and improve oral absorption of lipophilic drugs. Orally disintegrating films and wafers dissolve without water. Extrusion–spheronisation pellets with Wurster coating allow enteric and targeted release.

  • SEDDS
  • Orally disintegrating films (ODF)
  • Orally disintegrating wafers (ODW)
  • Pelletisation with enteric coating

04

Complex molecule classesV-17

Molecules that are hard to stabilise, handle or deliver.

Peptides and proteins, hormones, oncology products and atypical β-lactams (imipenem, ertapenem, meropenem), plus biosimilar injections and NCE clinical formulations.

  • Protein and peptide products
  • Hormone products
  • Anti-cancer products
  • Atypical β-lactams

05

APIs & new chemical entitiesV-18

From the solid state up.

Scientific leadership with experience setting up API development and clinical research facilities supports formulation from the earliest phase, including clinical formulations for new chemical entities.

  • API characterisation
  • Preformulation
  • NCE clinical formulations
  • Particle-size engineering

06

Patented technologyV-08

Two patented formulation technologies, available to partners.

KMS holds two patented formulation technologies that can be offered to partners, including a soft-gel capsule built on SEDDS technology.

  • Available for licensing
  • SEDDS soft-gel capsule
