BigBasin Colloid & dispersion stabilization platform

Technology

Colloid & dispersion platform

Without altering substances chemically, we manage solubility through colloidalization and dispersion: hydrophobic to hydrophilic and back. Our ultimate target is injectables.

BigBasin's technology comes down to colloidalization and dispersion: diagnose a substance's solubility behavior, turn it into a stable colloid without altering the molecule, and aim ultimately at injectable dispersions.

The platform in three steps

  1. Solubility diagnosis & interface design

    We assess a substance's hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity, then design a dispersion strategy.

    We evaluate the molecule's lipophilicity, hydrophilicity, surface properties, and aggregation behavior, then design which carrier and interfacial structure will form a stable colloid. The principle is to leave the molecule chemically unchanged.

  2. Colloidalization & nanodispersion

    We disperse hydrophobic substances stably in water, and implement the reverse direction too.

    By combining interfacial agents, carriers, and particle processes, we turn poorly soluble substances into uniform colloids. Biodegradable polymers such as PLA are one of the available carriers; we choose materials to fit the goal. Particle size and distribution are controlled through process variables such as nanoprecipitation and solvent evaporation.

  3. Stable dispersion & injectable form

    We build dispersions that stay stable without aggregation, targeting injectable formulations as the ultimate goal.

    Formulations are designed to stay stable through storage and use. Ultimately we target injectable forms of poorly soluble drugs dispersed in water without molecular modification, meeting particle-size, stability, and safety requirements step by step.

Why our technology

  • Modification-free dispersion

    We bring poorly soluble substances into a stable dispersed state without changing the molecule, stabilizing the active and improving bioavailability without prodrugs or salt formation.

  • Colloidal stability & process control

    By controlling interfaces, particle structure, and process variables, we consistently produce stable colloids that resist aggregation.

  • Material-agnostic, injectable-oriented

    We choose among carriers, including biodegradable polymers such as PLA, to fit the goal, with the injectable formulation of poorly soluble drugs as the ultimate target.
