The Role Of Micronization In The Journey To Drug Product Development

By Salvatore Mercuri, Senior Process Development Scientist, Lonza

Whenever I think about particle engineering through micronization, it always strikes me that this part of the process is like finding a diamond and transforming it into a ring. The Discover group finds the diamond in the rough. In the Crystallization and Micronization steps, the diamond is cut and polished. Then the Formulators set the diamond into the ring.

Micronization is an incredibly important step of the process of transitioning a compound from that initial discovery into the clinic.
