How do I develop an inhaled drug product?
Quotient is your answer.
Inhaled drug development
Quotient has a 30 year track record in the development and manufacturing of inhaled drug products. We have experience across a range of drug delivery platforms including dry powder inhalers (DPIs) and solutions/suspensions for inhalation.
With integrated capabilities and vast knowledge of nasal and pulmonary delivery, we help our clients accelerate their molecules from first-in-human, through to proof-of-concept and into full development.
Integrated capabilities and expertise for nasal and pulmonary delivery
Our extensive expertise and capabilities for nasal and pulmonary delivery include:
- Pre-formulation and API characterisation
- Formulation and process development
- Inhaled device evaluation and selection
- Clinical manufacturing and supply (Phase I-III)
- Clinical pharmacology assessments
We have a wide range of processing and analytical equipment to support the development and manufacture of inhaled drug products:
- Spray drying
- Micronization
- Blending and encapsulation
- Aerosol characterization

Phase 1/1b study of inhaled formulation in healthy volunteers & asthmatics
PUR1900 is an iSPERSE™ formulation incorporating a large, complex anti-fungal compound that can be administered at high therapeutic dose to the lung while minimizing systemic side effects. Patients with severe asthma and CF are afflicted with ABPA, a complex hypersensitivity reaction that occurs in response to colonization of the airways with Aspergillus fumigatus. This Phase I study was designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and PK of single and multiple ascending doses of PUR1900 capsules administered as dry powder for inhalation in Part 1 (single ascending dose; SAD) and Part 2 (multiple ascending dose; MAD) respectively, in healthy volunteers.
