PHARMACEUTICAL APPLICATIONS OF LYOPHILIZATION: RECENT UPDATES AND ADVANCEMENTS
AbstractFor almost five decades, from its application in preserving blood plasma to stabilizing pharmaceuticals and biopharmaceuticals, lyophilization has been used in life sciences. Lyophilization is a popular drying technique for preserving various drugs, formulations and biological materials such as proteins, plasma, and living cells. The researchers have made significant efforts to develop lyophilized nanoparticulate drug delivery formulations. During lyophilization, biological products and vaccines could be increased by removing solvents and the shelf-life of injectables. Thus, lyophilization unstable or heat-sensitive drugs/biologicals can be dried at low temperatures without damaging their physical structure. Lyophilized products can be reconstituted quickly and easily, improving shelf life and easy transportation. Vast applications of lyophilization in the Pharmaceutical Area established the importance of lyophilization techniques in the pharmaceutical field. The present review aims to update recent and advanced applications of Lyophilization techniques in Pharmaceuticals and biological products such as Antibiotics, Vaccines, proteins, enzymes, and hormones.
