    Excipient: Relative Versus Absolute Inactivity Types

    An excipient is a substance formulated alongside the active ingredient of a medication to aid in long-term stabilization, bulking up formulations containing small amounts of active ingredients, or enhancing the therapeutic effects or absorption of the active ingredient. Excipients help in manufacturing and can improve properties like flowability, shelf life stability, and prevention of denaturation. Selection depends on the route of administration, dosage form, and active ingredient. Regulations require excipients and their decomposition products be identified and deemed safe, as excipients often outweigh the active ingredient in final drug formulations. International organizations work to set quality, safety and functionality standards for excipients.

    Excipient - Wikipedia 4/2/21, 5(37 PM

    Excipient
    An excipient is a substance formulated alongside the active ingredient of a medication,[1] included
    for the purpose of long-term stabilization, bulking up solid formulations that contain potent active
    ingredients in small amounts (thus often referred to as "bulking agents", "fillers", or "diluents"), or to
    confer a therapeutic enhancement on the active ingredient in the final dosage form, such as
    facilitating drug absorption,[2][3] reducing viscosity,[4] or enhancing solubility.[5] Excipients can also
    be useful in the manufacturing process, to aid in the handling of the active substance concerns such as
    by facilitating powder flowability or non-stick properties, in addition to aiding in vitro stability such
    as prevention of denaturation or aggregation over the expected shelf life. The selection of appropriate
    excipients also depends upon the route of administration and the dosage form, as well as the active
    ingredient and other factors. A comprehensive classification system based on structure-property-
    application relationships has been proposed for excipients used in parenteral medications.[6][7]

    Pharmaceutical regulations and standards require that all ingredients in drugs, as well as their
    chemical decomposition products, be identified and shown to be safe. Often, more excipient is found
    in a final drug formulation than active ingredient, and practically all marketed drugs contain
    excipients.[1]:1 As with new drug substances and dosage forms thereof, novel excipients themselves
    can be patented; sometimes, however, a particular formulation involving them is kept as a trade
    secret instead (if not easily reverse-engineered).

    The Excipients Industry Forum as a multi stake-holder forum and information hub for the wider
    excipients industry and the public. Its goal is to promote open dialogue and partnership between the
    public, policy makers and the pharmaceutical industry.[8]

    The Federation of International Pharmaceutical Excipients Council (IPEC),[9] a pharmaceutical


    regulatory non-profit, develops, implements, and promotes global use of appropriate quality, safety,
    and functionality standards for pharmaceutical excipients and excipient delivery systems. IPEC-
    Americas, along with its counterparts in Europe, China, and Japan serves as a primary international
    resource on excipients for its members, governments, and public audiences. IPEC works in
    collaboration with ExcipientFest to present topics ranging from regulatory affairs to research and
    development, often featuring speakers from FDA and other pharmaceutical organizations.[10]
