Approaches to increase mechanistic understanding and aid in the selection of precipitation inhibitors for supersaturating formulations - a PEARRL review.

Precipitation inhibitors are becoming increasingly important in enabling formulations. Trial-and-error approaches have seen success thus far. However, it is essential to learn more about the mode of action of PIs if the most optimal formulations are to be realised. Robust analytical tools, and the knowledge of where and how they can be applied, will be essential in this endeavour.
