Mr. Rajendran (Raj) Arunagiri from Eastman, who was responsible for developing and launching a new excipient called BioSustane.
Even though they do not have any therapeutic effect, excipients are essential for drug viability and delivery. Excipients can be as simple as a flavor or it can be a coating with laser drilled holes. In some cases, such as a bioavailability enhancer, drug will not be effective without excipients. Excipients play a critical role in human health and yet innovations do not happen often with Excipients.
