Solid form and formulation are tightly interlinked, each influencing bioavailability, stability, and in vivo performance.

At Sygnature Discovery, we integrate solid-state characterization with formulation design to build a strategy tailored to your compound. Our focus on well-tolerated, long-term dosing formulations helps reduce risk during lead optimization and ensures your molecule is ready for in vivo studies.

What we offer:

• Formulation screening and development for small molecules and peptides

• Conventional and advanced technologies to enhance solubility, stability, and exposure

• Fast design–make–test cycles through co-location with DMPK and in vivo pharmacology

• Expertise across multiple dosing routes: oral, IV, IM, IP, SC, intranasal and inhalation

• Species coverage includes rodents (mice, rats), dogs, mini-pigs, rabbits, and non-human primates

Our state-of-the-art labs and responsive scientists work closely with you to meet specific goals – whether it’s achieving high drug loading, boost in bioavailability, linear PK, or well-tolerated formulations. We’re committed to helping your molecule progress from bench to clinic.
