AboutAbout the lab
Developing patient-friendly formulations
The Hanawa Lab studies the development of "patient-friendly formulations" needed in clinical settings.
In clinical practice, many "in-hospital preparations" are made, which are formulations that hospitals prepare themselves using ingredients not contained in commercially available drugs.
However, it is difficult to develop formulations with supporting evidence within medical institutions.
The lab conducts basic research that aims to make high-evidence-level formulations available in a form that medical institutions can prepare themselves, and to move them toward clinical application and commercialization through joint research with medical institutions.
Key terms
- In-hospital preparations
- Formulations that a medical institution prepares itself using ingredients not contained in commercially available drugs
- Hydrogel
- A material that contains a large amount of water and forms a jelly-like state. It is being studied as one form of formulation
- Poorly water-soluble drugs
- Drugs that do not dissolve easily in water. Solubilization, which makes them easier to dissolve, is a subject of research
ResearchResearch themes
The lab develops formulations needed in clinical settings in forms such as semisolid, liquid, and patch-type formulations. It also studies the solubilization of poorly water-soluble drugs and the interactions between drugs and devices.
*Illustrative imageDevelopment of patient-friendly formulations
The lab designs hydrogels, oral sprays and films, and formulations that take bitter taste masking into account. It also develops the semisolid, liquid, and patch-type formulations needed in clinical settings.
Solubilization of poorly water-soluble drugs
As molecular pharmaceutics research, the lab works on solubilization, which makes drugs that dissolve poorly in water easier to dissolve. It also studies turning drugs into nanoparticles to improve their solubility and dispersibility.
*Illustrative imageInteractions between drugs and devices
The lab conducts research on the interactions between drugs and devices, and on pharmaceutical devices. It also studies the interactions between medical polymers and drugs.
